I’m a big fan of a few of Ghibli’s films but I feel the same way about others. The whimsical and somewhat metaphorical quality of most of them can really lessen their emotional impact imo.

If you’re ever interested in trying an animated Japanese film from another studio and writer, I can highly recommend Your Name.

Am I making a mistake by having my Jellyfin server proxied through nginx? The other service I set up did need to be public so I just copied the same thing when I set up Jellyfin but is that a liability even with a password to access?

If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!

Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure

Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase “we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity” already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.

Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one’s race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be ‘what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and “being white” in the US’? And let’s not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.

Same thing is happening in Seattle and likely everywhere else.

Yeah I agree - the Activity tab and the DMs look like they are exact copies of the Teams interface. I mean, it’s an intuitive way to display info but I don’t see much design innovation with this announcement

I think in the near term there will be a lot more discourse about fatphobia/body types as a protected class.

In the longer term, I think history will look back at current factory farming as absolutely barbaric.

Try !astronomy@mander.xyz

Mander is generally a science-focused instance, so there are a lot of sciency /c’s there

There are so many communities being heroically held aloft by 1 or 2 serial posters. My favorite is !quackers@lemmy.world

What is that rule? For every 90 readers there are 9 commentes and 1 contributor?

Those numbers seem pretty high, but without comparison to workers in the tech sector as a whole and workers in the US as a whole, it’s pretty useless data. This study does seem to show that these execs are using drugs at a much higher rate (if you trust the OP article methodology) than other information workers, but I don’t think that should suprise anyone, since workplace stress is usual higher for execs. The other difference is that they have a lot more disposable income than most workers to spend on drugs and other coping mechanisms.

Scanning https://browse.feddit.de/, it doesn’t look like there are. I didn’t see anything in a quick search of kbin either. Maybe Mastodon has something like that?

If you say “There’s a hole in my straw” I think it’s always implied you’re talking about an unexpected hole. You can also say “There’s a hole in my sweater/pasta strainer/etc” and people would get you’re talking about a hole that is not supposed to be there. Straws are the same. They have one hole and you’d be unhappy if another appeared.

Have you told him the things you wrote in this post? That might be a good start. You could also suggest a substitute. If it’s some sort of addiction he needs to work on, maybe he could try to donate money to a good cause or even buy a gift for someone who needs it (local charity or something like Savethechildren.org). Might provide that same feeling and not cause you worry.
