Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 1/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Yes but it is kinda hard to make friend in a place like Lemmy as we just talk under a post and leave . That's why I made a post like this .
Last one was Sicario 2 and it was kind of a let down from 1 . Tho there are some redeeming qualities I wouldn't watch it again or something as it was not at all like sicario imo .
That's the thing about social media, it's not actually social. All we do here is entertain eachother a bit by posting stuff, but we will never get to know eachother.
You need real life friends or it all feels very empty. People spend like 10 hours on YouTube watching people they think are great but they will never see who that person actually is.
I do have friends its just that moving around has made me loose so many people coupled with the fact that I don't that I don't have Instagram or Snapchat .
I haven't seen Sicario 2, i enjoyed 1. Would you recommend it, even if its different from 1?
I do enjoy a good action thriller!
Hmm its not bad per se but it doesn't have the ruthlessness that sicario 1 had which made it stand out to me . But sure if your just looking for a standard action flick it is one of the better ones .
speaking standard action flicks, have you seen Gunpowder Milkshake?
No . That brings backs a memory of me putting it in watchlist and deleting it because the reviews were mid and I had so much I end shit to watch .
But now I may give it another try .
i like most movies at some level, even the bad ones. theyre all gradients of art to me..
I appreciated that particular movie because it was lightweight, campy action flick that hit the right notes. i wasnt expecting a lot, but it was entertaining. also, who doesnt have a thing for karen gillian?
Yeah I too sometimes like to watch those kind recent one I remember is boy kills world .
