Momento and Groundhog Day.

Wakes up every day unable to remember anything, and can’t even leave notes.

You could call it “Stuck in the Ground-hog”

I haven’t drunk alcohol in over a year, last time I got drunk was maybe almost a decade ago…

I’m sure that’ll convince someone? Though it makes it sound like I used to be one too lol.

You’d think a metal detector would be mandatory in all MRI departments before you enter?

How people get downvoted for expressing their ant choices is beyond me.

I’ll save you with an upvote.

Do people forget it’s only non-constructive / offensive things you downvote? Not things you simply disagree with lol.

Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my “well invested” taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I’m greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I’m still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already…

They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won’t need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it’s unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it’s on film, and even mentioned why it’s not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

Makes sense…

Parasite Eve 2.

But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).

When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they’re hardly informed, you get this. Here’s your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.

I think I was partially addicted after having used it routinely out of boredom and free time for over a decade…

But once RIF and the other 3rd party apps got strangled out, and RES went into a state of no longer being updated, I couldn’t power use Reddit anymore. So once those were uninstalled and removed, I had given myself no choice. Out of principle I couldn’t support them and how they treated their mods or communities, nor could I use the site in their epically stupid vanilla default way, I had to just quit.

Cold turkey since.

Will admit, I have to search online for technical help, and a lot of discussion did and still does happen on Reddit, so I’ll still occasionally have to use the site for reference. But no interacting with it at all.

I still feel the twitches and urges to use it from so many years of habit, and it’s difficult, but I’ve managed to do it.

Shame there’s not as many people so inclined to use Reddit just a little less, doesn’t even need to be cold turkey; it WOULD make a difference. But there’s nothing wrong with using it, and you shouldn’t be judged for it either. It’s fine to be anti Reddit, but not anti user… in most cases ha ha! I’m pro voice and choice! ;D

I’m trying to use this as an alternative, and out of necessity as content does run thin sometimes on Lemmy I do end up using it less than I did with Reddit. But that’s healthy for me personally.

There’s less pressure and competitiveness on here for me, so I try to post better quality comments/content than I may have used to on Reddit. When Lemmy isn’t down or breaking my comment/post submissions I’ll have a better time engaging with the site, I don’t find myself rushing to comment before 400 irrelevant (sometimes one word) comments wash it away and bury it like on Reddit. I don’t find myself writing half a comment, and then deciding to quit half way as much.

Plus, people engage with posts and see them much longer than on Reddit, usually after a single day their posts would be entirely dead; guess it’s mostly due to less users at this point though.

Do we have any user base statistics for the average age of users for Lemmy compared to the ever growing younger user base of Reddit? (Which isn’t necessarily always a bad thing, I love inclusiveness). I can’t recall being asked to put in my birthday/age when signing up. (I’m just being genuinely dumb, I would usually just look up this stuff myself but I have to rush this comment, sorry!)

People don’t seem as flippant on Lemmy which is fortunate.

I have generally had a better experience when it comes to interaction on here, but I do think there’s frequently degrading comments towards Reddit users, especially ones starting out and posting content directly from Reddit. I think it’s all usually well intentioned though, they’re looking for alternatives, and they wish to get involved and add content. Eventually Lemmy will become more self sufficient when it comes to unique comments or memes for example, but there’s a lot of growing pains to get there.

You are definitely right that it’s not that common an occurrence on the other instances. But yes, I should have clarified these issues are with lemmy.world.

I think a good third of what I have typed or posted so far on Lemmy has never succeeded as submitting them would cause it to stop responding and never compete. Refreshing will bring the page back up and allow me comment, but it’ll not work most the time.

Their downtime has been pretty severe… growing pains, I get it, but it’s not just that.

After several attempts at retyping it all, then trying to copy and paste to try to post again just got to me a bit. It’s taking a lot out of me as I’m personally struggling in life to try to communicate with people, with it being flakey all the time, it’s feels like when you have to repeat yourself, then just give up.

It’s a shame because I wanted to post in me communities, but I couldn’t. I keep seeing “View reply” on my comments, but they frequently never load or just vanish. I do wonder if they’re broken/incomplete replies.
