Good to see people calling out NYT for their nonsense

I like that in the netflix version they added scenes that weren't in the original. My favorite is the scene of Lu Ten's funeral. Iroh is just sitting there silent but you can see on his face that is he is broken inside but everyone comes up to him and congratulates him that his son died a hero. No one says it but for me it felt like in the fire nation culture you're not allowed to mourn the death of those who died in battle, which is a crazy concepts but fits with the Fire Nations fascist ideology.

I couldn't find the whole scene, but here is the last part of it (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=hwPn2gJ1B_U). For context, Zuko has gone up to Iroh and said that Lu Ten's death is great honor. But when he was about to leave he comes back and thats when the above video starts.

These scenes add so much to the character of Iroh, Zuko, Lu Ten (whose character we did know anything about in the original) and to war-time Fire Nation culture. It's amazing!

I know we shouldn't make memes of the orange man going down on Laura but if those meme did exist I think his fascist loving base would have a hard time processing a man going down on a woman

Are there movements in the US or globally to force all business into worker coops? Unions are good but I think this is their ultimate limitation, that employers can just offshore their jobs

Makes sense! I think France, and all countries that had slave colonies, should pay back the equivalent of the profits they made from slavery with interest. It won't take away the atrocities that were committed but it is part of justice.

I thought the twist of Amon being a bender really undercuts that seasons story arc. The Equalists were asking a questions that makes sense in their world, benders are ridiculously more powerful than non-benders and in their world's history (at least in Aang's time) held almost all significant offices. The equalists had a fair question about how to even the play fielding for all citizens. But this question isnt answered or considered, Amon comes out at as a bender and the equalist movement is forgotten about

This the realest fake headline

I definitely overthink before sleep, I'm relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it

I think a lot of people don't know what co-ops are. I have been pretty left leaning my whole life and I only found out co-ops in my late 20s and the majority of people I talked to in real life have no idea what coops are. And from that few that do know, many dont know how big cooperatives can be.

For the uninitiated, I am sharing the [International Cooperative Alliances definition of coops here: https://ica.coop/...

and the list of largest coops in 2023 here: https://ica.coop/...

I started using Linux for the first time this week after seeing all the linux memes on Lemmy and alot of help from me girlfriend, so hopefully it will be a year of the Linux for me!

Happy new year everyone!

Kendrick performed Not like Us five times during his Juneteenth concert. The joke here is Drake writing his lyrics saying that he didn't perform it a sixth time bc he is afraid of "the six" which is term that Drake often uses to refer to his hometown, Toronto.

How can reading be no 1 most attractive and comic books are on the unattractive side of the list?

Thanks for the answer. I'm confident you're correct but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around drawing a line with an irrational length. If we did draw a right angled triangle with two sides equal to 1cm and we measured the hypotenuse physically with a ruler, how would we measure a never ending number? How would we able to keep measuring as the numbers after the decimal point keep going forever but the physical line itself is finite?

"I am proud of our democratic processes. Although I wanted a second term, I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process,” Masisi said.

Way to go Botswana!

I was sure this was fake until I saw some of the comments and looked it up. This is amazing!

They should be tried!

I like that Lemmy is independent and Im not providing free content for a giant corporation

"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "

I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn't find the 250000 number from the title.

In any case this is great news for both countries.

This seems like a good thing. To repeat what someone on here said, even if its not fully enforceable by the companies, it will be good way for parents to prevent their kids from being hooked on socials at a young age

What happened in the 70s and 80s for artists in their 20s to lose their dominance so much?
