The Good Place is one of the best shows ever but in the end they basically just re-invent mortality. In the real world you die and we don’t know what happens, in the fiction at the end of the show you die and then spend some time aligning yourself to the standard the main characters set, and when you eventually align with their morals for long enough you either stick around and atrophy until you’re a forgetful idiot or you…die, and we don’t know what happens.

The viewers of the show see bits of Eleanor falling to Earth and inspiring people but the characters do not know what happens.

If you want to get deeper, Michael the demon is granted mortality which means it can be done, it is shown as a special exception but over the course of infinite time either all demons will earn special exceptions and humans will eventually die and be unable to progress through the afterlife because there are no demons left to guide them through, or that doesn’t happen in which case humanity will die out first and the demons will be left with nothing to do for eternity because all humans will eventually work through the system and disappear.

Liftoff stopped working for Lemm.ee for me but not Lemmy.world so it must have been upgrade related. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it so I’m just switching to Connect, ha.

So every month is higher than the month 6 months prior, that seems pretty good. Obviously won’t be true 6 months after that July but certainly speaks to the community that has grown here and remained here.

At first I thought this was about the Pebble smart watch from 2012. Pretty confused how that becomes a Mastadon instance.

It’s an incredibly popular podcast. There’s every possibility the connotations are wrong about this specific individual. I wouldn’t try to dig too deep into it.

Sending: Loud.

Receiving: Smelly.

Same. Longest I’d gone without commenting on reddit for a decade straight is 3 days. Now the longest is…since July 1st and counting.

I think I like it but for the idiots like me, the plan is to have “groups” around the fediverse that equate to sublemmys, and Mastodon users can post with them or not, but if they do it essentially creates a sublemmy that Lemmy users can also interact with.

And on Mastodon the benefit would be that you could subscribe to topics instead of users?

Haha as a guy who definitely believed open source was the political force gathering steam to replace George W Bush back in the day…no.

The “American Carnage” speech as an inauguration speech truly was some weird shit.

Where’s the lie though?

My dog has two modes: Sleepy on the couch and “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE EVER TOUCHED A LEASH OH MY GOD I’M GOING FOR A WALK I NEED TO TELL THE WORLD” …she gets walks daily, she is just super hyped up about them, and nothing else.

I think it’s just less well curated content due to fewer users because after some amount of time you get to the posts with a low number of upvotes. Just a scale thing.

That said I kinda prefer it.

Shoulda used Limewire.

I’ve been happy with Liftoff.
