I wanted to say that’s not what ‘anti-hero’ means, but I kind of see where you’re coming from. In my mind, an anti-hero does terrible stuff to achieve good goals (Deadpool being a prime example), while John McClaine does do some pretty vicious things, but is more or less just trying to survive, not because he wants to do the terrible things.
In minor defense of DH4, which I agree goes beyond the premise of the first 3, it does kind of follow that John would be better able to do some crazier things after going through the events of the first 3 movies. He still shouldn’t be indestructible, but his experiences definitely qualify him as badass at that point. I also still like DH4, so I wanna justify that somewhat, hah. DH5 is just not good, though.
I mean, I don’t think Moonlighting really targeted preteens and children, so that tracks.
Dredd (2012) is just “Die Hard on LSD”
Jokes aside, Dredd rules.
“This thing doesn’t have a single horse? What’s up with that?!”
I think it’s less “this line is for emergencies” and more “our online process could takes days to get a response, here’s a line to a real human”.
Everyone has “custom” pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.
This is not a comment on you, but I do the same thing and have come to realize it’s at least in part a response to being judged in some way (or feeling judged at least) over things I shared with my family, so now I just don’t share.
If it’s important to you, it might be worth having a conversation about why they are withholding and, if it’s for similar reasons, addressing why they feel that way and assuring them you’ll do your best to keep them from feeling bad about sharing.
Far Cry 3 was so frustratingly dumb and yet so popular. The gameplay was fine, but everyone was blowing up about the stupid ass sub-villain with his Philosophy 101 ”zingers" in “White, suburban YA saves ‘savages’ from themselves with horrendous war crimes” the game. It was really irritating.
As others have stated, it’s very little to do with being “prudes” and much more with being tired of horny anonymous posters just being horny. If it were something informative, that’s a whole other thing.
How would one find this? Is it just a console command?
There’s finally an open github issue that seems to be acknowledged, but it’ll be some time before this feature (if ever) ever gets implemented.
Fwiw, the devs seem quite open to (even directly requesting) people coding features they want and having them added into the main code in future versions. So if anyone is able and willing to make a working version of that for Lemmy, it could be added quite soon, really.
Fair enough. Glad you got out!
I gotta ask, why did you never look at third-party options if you found it so miserable?
When you’re selecting languages, try holding ctrl when clicking the ones you want. It should allow you to select more than one.
Thanks for at least linking to the best rendition of it :)
Excluding admins and devs from the start is just petulant and short sighted. Treating them like the enemy will only encourage them to silo off from the community.
When those "someone"s are reasonable, sure, it won’t be bad, but when they’re not? Give the power of federation to a few instances, and that’s not just a possibility, but an inevitability.
We already know Meta is planning to add themselves to the Fediverse. Set down this path and the someone deciding who gets access and how will end up being Zuck, or someone like him. That sound like a good future to you?
So defeating the point of Lemmy? Nah, that’s a terrible “solution” that will only serve to empower big servers imposing on smaller or even personal one’s.
Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.
