George Lucas’s first movie. It’s pretty remarkable. They also keep everyone perpetually drugged up, strip everyone of their identities, and prohibit sexual relationships. The police robots will stop chasing you when it stops being cost effective, though

THX 1138. The police robots force us to build them and beat us if we don’t. We have no idea who controls them.

Most word processors will auto-format to em dashes when they detect regular dashes in context of a sentence with a space on either side

misguided

…

Usually when someone gatekeeps, they have a rationale. Assuming there was thought behind this was my mistake.

Where you placed the gate makes no sense so I was asking you to expound

Kani and avocado are both widely used in Japan. How are they not legitimate ingredients to you? Kani was literally invented in Japan

Definitely depends on the animal. Most jurisdictions do have laws against abusing common domesticated animals

What would you think the police or social services could do? They aren’t describing any criminal behavior, and they seem to be an adult with capacity, so I think both agencies would respond, take a look at the situation, then do nothing. Then they’d prob suffer retribution from their family

What is your plan for yourself? You’re taking online classes, what is your end goal? Can you get a job right now? The reality is that you cannot depend on these people. They may be supporting you now, but that could end at any moment on a whim.

Your plan should be to figure out what independence looks like for you and figure out the fastest way to get there

Totally almost picked Headhunters because of Watermelon Man! There’s nothing like it. Herbie occupies a different plane of existence

Future Shock by Herbie Hancock. Dude released like 25 jazz and funk albums over two decades, then in '83 just drops a hip hop bomb

Rockit

Also, Dr. John - The Night Tripper. 60s psychedelic New Orleans perfection

I downvoted because it was a deflection that didn’t address the very real issue presented to you

Ok, let’s walk through the implication.

-Women are oppressed.

-Men are not oppressed.

Who again are you saying is doing the oppressing? You’re blind to the fact that most men are also oppressed, and pretending that men can just go out in society and be safe being vulnerable is willfully ignorant

glances at profile

Def a guy

We’re talking about Lemmy communities here, having a men’s-only space to discuss men’s issues is totally fine. Also, demeaning men’s-only spaces and placing men in a uniform category as “the oppressor group” is awful for society

Literally nothing is stopping you from creating a community for men with a rule that only men participate. The difference is that in the community you’re thinking about though, women wouldn’t be constantly trying to mess with it. There are hundreds of communities to choose from. We’re not entitled to participate in them all.

That ick ending up all over your counters and your toothbrush flushing with the lid open

You close the lid before you flush, right? …right?

Would love a recipe if you have it. Looks delicious!

I would make this and throw in some Italian sausage and chopped kale
