The thing that I don’t like about ‘3D’ movies is that they’re clearly flat 2D images like a bunch of cardboard cutouts with a bit of trickery to get certain things to stand out more than others, and I can’t see it as anything else. I can lose myself in the movie for moments at a time but am constantly pulled out of it and back into the real world every time something fucky happens with my perception or I try to look at a detail in the background that just stays blurry.

Most, if not all Ghibli women and girls are awesome IMO. And Nausicaa just might be the most badass. Maybe next to Mononoke.

Very cool, thanks for pointing these out. I enjoy dishing out socio-political hot takes as much as the next person but I don’t want it to swallow up my life. You’ve been very cool and helpful to me here, including on the other instance, so once again, thank you very much.

Social media.

I don’t know if it’s just my server / app combo. Since I’ve been starting out here, certain things are hard to tell if they’re network issues or software issues, so I apologise if I’m wrong. But I’m starting to lose count of threads that I’ve visited that apparently have x amount of comments but absolutely nothing when I actually open the thread. Real Reddit moderator shit. Surprised they haven’t locked it and given no reason whatsoever. I think I need to start taking notice of the instances that this happens with, to see if there’s repeat offenders because there’s zero reason to even try participate when they’re running things like this.

I too was interested in knowing the meaning of these symbols. But apparently this platform kinda sucks.

Trying to decide if you’re calling me dull or just suggesting an interesting subreddit lol. It does seem like an interesting sub though, sometimes the mundane can be oddly interesting. So thank you.

Looks like I’ve chosen a good time to join up here… I’m guessing that I’m going to be trying my 3rd instance soon.

I’m actually wondering what the draw of this place is gonna be once they decide to start behaving exactly like the rest of the platforms. It’s been quite the last 24 hours for me just trying to get set up here between web pages that don’t want to load properly, misleading servers and trying a bunch of different apps that all seem to have something either missing or broken. Like, you have to actually want to be here. I’ve put up with all of this crap so far so that I can use an alternative to Reddit, not just another Reddit with a different url.

If I wanted to hear conspiracy theories and put up with bigotry, I’d be using fucking Twitter.
