Even Hillary’s team used sherpas to assist
Nothing says “fake accomplishment” like claiming to be the first to reach the top of a mountain by relying on the help (read: exploitation) of local people who had presumably been doing it for hundreds of years before you showed up.
Makes me think about how rich people apparently ruined Burning Man

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any dead franchises that can survive being rebooted?
3·21 小时前I was more referring to the Tommy Westphall Universe theory where nearly all American TV shows exist in the same universe within the mind of the St. Elsewhere character Tommy Westphall.
In case you weren’t aware of this phenomenon:

3·2 天前Is that you, Tommy Westphall?
There is no real reason behind it
Money. The reason is always money.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"?
1·2 天前When all of the services are moving towards the same enshittification, it seems to almost become cartel-like

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What piece of media thoroughly disappointed you?
21·3 天前Oh no I’m judgmental whatever will I do.
Maybe it’s the person who’s a grown adult and still considers Sonic the Hedgehog to be their favorite media franchise is he one who needs to expand their perspective.
I want you to be honest, do you actually know what the plots of these games are like?

2·3 天前They said it was their favorite media franchise, not that they enjoyed it.
Have you ever seen the “plot” of a Sonic game? If you’re an adult, and that’s your favorite media franchise, then you should be embarrassed
It’s like referring to North Korea as Democratic
It’s really nothing like that
Damn I didn’t see this comment and just said the same thing lol
Massive “trees” made of writhing human flesh. Definitely an image that sticks with you lol
My first thought was The Shrike from Hyperion

21·4 天前None of this suggests they haven’t tried or enjoyed better written stories.
It kind of does though. They said it’s their “favorite media franchise,” not just that they were a fan.
It’s for literal babies
And I have a problem with it, because it’s not a rare thing and it demonstrates a lack of curiosity that I find to be dangerous for a modern society.
If the video game for babies that you played when you were 10 is still your favorite media franchise, then you need to expose yourself to more media.

2·5 天前I think book 4 is the peak, quality-wise. 5 was alright.
It’s been so long since I’ve read them, but I remember the very end of the series being great (and really, the only possible way it could have ended). However, I remember the last two books, up to that part, being kind of dumb lol

7·5 天前Homework is ok, but Discovery is their masterpiece.
The Alive 2007 live album is also very good.




Oh it’s not just 80s shows, it’s like every show. Including The Wire.
It’s actually a pretty entertaining thing to read about.
