The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Apple has kept an illegal monopoly over smartphones in US, Justice Department says in antitrust suit2·1 year agoComcast also sucks but I’d highly recommend you look at the lawsuit. It’s got a lot of stuff in there and 1 or 2 that I didn’t even know about.

I’m convinced that Philomena Cunk is actually playing Diane Morgan the rest of the time.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Using they/them pronouns is confusing and difficult to read because one always thinks of a plurality of people. Why not just pick new words to use?191·1 year agoI have no idea how you would be this confused here.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Cast Pitch Musical Episode And Another ‘Strange New Worlds’ CrossoverEnglish51·1 year agoYou just named 2 of my favorite episodes. Clearly they just weren’t for you? The fantasy one did a fantastic job showcasing a father’s love for his daughter and the musical episode was both funny and moved the characters forward a lot… I don’t see how either of these could possibly be bad things but ig to each his own.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the dumbest reason to kill somebody?2·1 year agoBUT THE PROPHECY DOESN’T EVEN COME TRUE!
That movie wasn’t like those ancient Greek stories because in quite a few ways but most notably the prophecy is just some guy believing that 3 teens are going to kill him. In the end… Madame Web kills him with a Pepsi sign! (Buy Pepsi! Drink Pepsi! PRAISE PEPSI!)
The movie does actively try to be like those ancient stories but it falls flat with even a slight amount of thinking about it because the villain’s motivations make no sense… Let’s break it down!
For the last 20ish years he’s had the same recurring nightmare about 3 teens showing up into his New York apartment, smashing some of his stuff, stealing from him and then throwing him out a window…
During that time every action he took seemed to recreate that dream? He moved to New York (he didn’t live there before), bought the apartment from his nightmare, bought all of the furniture from the nightmare, decorated it exactly the same, and then spent the rest of his time making sure that the 3 teenage girls he is afraid of have a reason to dislike him. This whole movie could’ve been prevented by… Moving to a different place… At any point in the last 20 years…
Unrelated to the story but also every single line from the villain is dubbed for some reason??? Every other character clearly sounds like they did the voice during the scene and then he sounds like he’s in a recording booth and they just slapped it on… ???
This turned into more of an essay/rant than I planned but holy fuck that movie was so bad. Funniest shit I’ve seen in so long and will watch it again. I’d never seen a superhero movie before where the main character’s super power includes hitting people with her car.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the dumbest reason to kill somebody?5·1 year agoThe entire motivation of the bad guy in Madame Web is that he saw the heroes killing him in a dream so he wants to kill them first…
The only reason they want to kill him is because he keeps fucking attacking them…
That movie is so fucking stupid
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So warner brothers just shutdown rooster teeth after 20 yearsEnglish10·1 year agoThat last bit is really the issue that led to the shut down. They stopped staying independent and were bought by a big company years and years ago. That company was then bought by someone else who then sold it and it was bought and sold and bought and sold until we got to Warner Bros which likes to kill things just for funsies.
I really hope that the talented creators they had can find a way to branch out independently like Dropout managed to when College Humor was getting shut down.

Steam is also a form of DRM in most cases though either way.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So warner brothers just shutdown rooster teeth after 20 yearsEnglish12·1 year agoWell they are most known for Red vs Blue but since then they branched out into a bunch of smaller brands. Fun Haus, Slow Mo Guys, Achievement Hunter etc etc. they were a full media company instead of just a machinma group.
Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What media sources have you outgrown, when, and why?14·1 year agoI kinda went the other direction where I had to cut out all anime. Too many fascist undertones and sexualizing children for it to be comfortable to watch for me.
Obviously not all shows/movies from anime do those but it’s difficult to really know until you’ve already started watching and so it’s safer to just cut it out.

Maven (famous)@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?4·1 year agoIt’s big in the shit posting communities.
The reason they don’t include reddit is because of the same licensing thing that caused all the reddit apps to get shut down and helped boost Lemmy.
The best non-google version that still gives you the recent reddit ones would be SearXNG and that’s because it’s a search aggregate tool that searching on Google and DDG and so on for you and then gives you the best results.
Edit: it’s also self-hostable if you’d prefer that
