I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

Me buying milk on October 4th, 1582: “Ah sweet, the label says it expires on the 15th”
Me waking up the next day with high hopes of enjoying a delicious breakfast of cereal with milk: “bro wtf”

Never watched the movie. I prefer true kino like Free Guy (2021) and Spy Kids 3-D (2003)

It’s the word I originally used when bothunting on Reddit years ago but I switched to the term “botnet” since it seems more proper imo

Hmm. The art style, the sharp edges, the contrasting color palette, and the fuzzy background made me think that this image was AI-generated, drawing on a mix of the corporate art style and the Orwellian art style. The figures in the bottom corners that look like they have a🗿for a head really sold the idea to me, and the caption’s color, font choice, and Title Case formatting didn’t help. After seeking reassurance from a couple of AI-gen detection sites that claimed it was likely human-made, I used TinEye.com to find the oldest source of the image I could.
Turns out it was made by Pandagolik1 back in 2022. Kudos to the artist for predicting a dystopian corporate propaganda aesthetic so precisely.

It’s not from The Clone Wars series. It’s from Tales of the Jedi Season 1 Episode 5 “Practice Makes Perfect”.

You can view their removed comments in the modlog. I’m not licensed in psychology but I would think that to be an accurate diagnosis. I wouldn’t want to see this instability, hostility, and lack of candor in my forums.
- Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me? 2 weeks ago:
Yep, both that one and another adblocker I use for a few days now. I tried yet another plug-in called something like Ad Block for YouTube that works with blocking the non-video ads but I’ve still been getting video ads with it that only play the ad’s audio with a plain black video screen for the length of the ad; spamming refresh on the page tends to bypass the video ad. Hopefully the plug-ins will adapt soon.

I’m omitting the phrase “It’s actually incorrect because” from this discussion since it’s not relevant.
“[T]hey would probably be fired at from their behind”
“be fired at” is a transitive verb phrase, so there are necessarily two related entities in this scenario: the firer and the target, the latter of which we know is “they”. Simply saying “be fired at from behind” could indicate that the firer is aiming backwards as a trick shot since it is ambiguous if “behind” refers to that of the target or if it instead refers to the act of firing; most people could figure out the meaning in context, but I prefer to avoid asking that from my audience. Since “be fired at from their behind” uses “their” as an appositive to refer to the entity or entities yet mentioned in the sentence, and the only one yet mentioned was the target (“they”), this clarifies that “behind” must refer to that of the target.
It’s also commonly, but not absolutely, considered grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition. “from behind” ends with a preposition, whereas “from their behind” ends with a noun (“behind” not meaning their buttocks but rather that which is located to their rear).
I was trying to get the comment posted before a particular time constraint, so I didn’t have time to locate a word that singularly refers to the area located to one’s rear.
You’re welcome to consult !english@lemmy.ca about this.

I added the “their” to avoid suggesting that the shooter would be shooting backwards at them
