But that complacency isn't happening to everyone. A lot are just festering, slowly digesting more incredulous and radical propaganda/influencers. Every ones base reality of the events that are happening over the country is getting completely skewed by the new types of outlets like tiktok that they flock to because of the lack of accountability by our elected officials and journalists/news organizations.
During just this last hurricane Helene I've heard more anger and outrage about the government than anything to actually do about what's been hit or what the people and rescue workers are actually doing. This is how we get mass shooters and assassinations becoming more prolific, people aren't just complaining and going about their day. They're nodding and grinding their teeth while smiling.

Just wanted to throw in my reality living in a rural area and all the factors that lead into the same problem we have around here.
The walk to my middle school was 1 1/2 hours, 2 when distracted. All 4 lane highways, with no sidewalks. Bus drivers are in high demand with low pay/part time, bus routes can easily go into a 3 hour ride in the afternoon. There is typically 1 highschool per county (must keep the roster pool available for the sports teams), we're talking a 42 minute straight drive just to get there (so you can sit in trailers because they're over capacity).
They need to up the bus driver pay, de-stigmatize the position with people who are getting more than fair compensation so they can be proud of their work and a community member who very much actually, physically, is in the world of the growing citizens. Have an assistant who helps with the route and manages the adolescent children (bus shit was wild back in my day, like 3rd base shenanigans going on and I doubt it's stopped).
I guarantee you, no one having to drive through that shit-storm is enjoying or wanting that experience. Everyone's anxiety is high and they're still half asleep in the morning, with the potential to accidentally injure a child before you even get to work. Some of the counties have improved with better traffic techniques like time-regulated flow, roundabouts, and traffic assistants. But, it's still so depressing and makes you feel like you're in some industrial meat processing plant line.
It sucks either way. Having your kid get home at 6pm to start on homework (no internet on the bus, most assignments require connectivity) which can take hours, feed them, make sure they get ready for bed by 8-9, then start again at 5am because the bus shows up ass early before the world wakes up. Real public transit doesn't exist in a 80 mile radius around here, so there's really no other currently available options besides all the crappy scenarios being told that everyone rightfully hates.

oh no! That would be terrible but I could see it. I think going forward she might be the only one who can introduce humor in stressful situations (kinda like the guardians Drax). There's some good banter between Agatha and Teen but that's more for peaceful times.

Shout out to zabadoh@ani.social for directing me here. For some reason his comment doesn't show up on a post I made about this show (guessing our instances are defederated from eachother or something).
I didn't enjoy the episode so much, I thought the introduction with Aubrey Plaza was unnecessary. I would've liked them to take the time and introduce the teen more and showcasing his charisma and cunningness that comes out of nowhere for episode 2. He was the one who started breaking her out of the spell so should've been the one to talk her out of it while she was shedding her layers of it.
Then cue the fight scene, lackluster and the ending just seemed off with Agatha's back and forth character switching and then them just dropping the fight. Could've used the time with expanding on her fantasy and the differences in reality, like the library scene could've been really funny seeing how it really played out while she was stuck in the spell. I'm so glad they released the second episode because it feels like a huge stark contrast between "marvel plots" and the new possibility of the witches storyline and themes.

I posted up about it in the c/movies@lemm.ee community. Agatha All Along, the only marvel show I'll probably give a try this year.
tl;dr Episode 1, a little rough going down and finding it’s footing. Episode 2, really has me excited for a real witch show about witches (doesn’t feel like Marvel). Episode 3 drops tonight.
If you liked wandavision and enjoyed the original Hocus Pocus I would suggest jumping on the train if you're looking for something new to watch. I'm just now watching reviews on it (like to wait, didn't even know angry joe already has a video) and finding out people are divisive on it for apparently gay characters, but I only picked up on one off-handed comment about a bf lol.
Giving my perspective so far with the new show that I doubt most people are giving a watch (I was forced to try it lol). It's only 2 episodes in, the first episode I wasn't that impressed with. It seemed to be wrapping up other storylines and trying to branch into it's new, own thing. It was a confusing episode trying to get a grasp of what they were doing. But, with the previous enjoyment of wandavision (at least the first few episodes of it), I decided to push through. Then comes Episode 2, just completely blew me away. Not like it's a masterpiece but definitely feels like Marvel is attempting to let them do their own thing atm and is one of the best "Witch" related media since the Hocus Pocus original (made me realize that genre just completely fell off since the 90's with decently made stories that wasn't an action "van-helsing/hugh jackman" kinda thing. I'm really looking forward to where they might be taking this. --- ::: spoiler Spoiler for talking about some characters that show up but no plot points exposed With Episode 1 I felt like Aubrey Plaza was shoehorned in because of her status, she did nothing for the plot besides something that could've been fleshed out with the Teen character better. The Teen character itself I'm not too thrilled with *only* because of my confusion on the hierarchy of everything. He has good scenes, but his role seems to fluctuate for plot needs, just needs more fleshed out with him to be realistic but obviously this was a choice that was made. I really feel like I need to watch Wandavision again because the Agatha in this show seems completely different, I'm not sure if it's my perception from a show I watched over 3 years ago or if there's some Marvel rewriting shenanigans going on here. I definitely am interested in looking into the comic origin and storylines now though from this show. ::: --- I wanted to highlight the song in episode 2 as well, utterly beautiful. [Agatha All Along Coven Sings The Ballad of the Witches' Road Episode 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmd6S_EmsyA) (I'm trying to think of a better Marvel song, but now I can't even think of any real singing besides this one) Anyways, the 3rd episode drops in like 8 hours. Haven't followed a show while it's releasing in a while, and typically I don't, but I'm gonna try this one out. If it turns out great, awesome. If it's a horrible rest of the season, at least I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the hype of it while waiting for the next one. tl;dr Episode 1, a little rough going down and finding it's footing. Episode 2, really has me excited for a real witch show about witches (doesn't feel like Marvel). Episode 3 drops tonight.
Quite good and wanted to share the clip. The song is awesome but the scenes make it better and I love Debra Rupp (Kitty from that 70's show) so glad to see her in a new roll.

I unfortunately have the same feeling. Around Iphone 4 or so (when they were a lot smaller and sleeker) I got a slim phone case that could hold a card and my ID. It felt so nice going on a trip with only that in my pocket (not having to worry about if I feel my wallet in my back pocket, etc) but I couldn't get over the fact that if I lost the phone I would be utterly screwed and a long way from home. Tend to always have a back-up now adays since I don't want to have to put up with that.

ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I'll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you're reheating it for some reason.

oh wow, I'm usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I'm not interested in a drink because I'm just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I'm tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).

In the link comment I provided I did state it was a far off miracle. But, my focus was less on 3rd parties or electoral reform, it was directly related to the "National Committees" that exists. I'm all for state parties, reminds me of when Bell was split into it's different areas. But on a national level I wonder if it can be argued that it's so far removed from focusing on "political ideologies of it's group" to becoming a service provider for selected candidates. You could look at the committee's structures, are they even following their own political ideologies, what type of controlling power they have, etc etc.
Cataphract Now • 100%
This question was less about electoral practices are more about a single entity controlling the national level of it's party. I feel the function of these at a national level, can be argued as an organization/company which controls the market for their party. What "political party" protections are there and what distinguishes them from any other organization that could be regulated by the anti-competitive laws. I feel they are political in name only, and can truly be academically and legally viewed as a business (which supports mainly political clients).

Looking at an entire political spectrum and there being only a Duopoly is heart breaking. But I meant more like each one is a true "business monopoly" for it's own perspective market/party. Controlling exposure, funding, data, candidate selection, being generally a lobbying middleman group, at what point does this become less a "political ideological group" and more a business organization that focuses heavily on political candidates? (like a sign manufacturer is technically making political content, but they're still just a business, they're both providing a service or product to individuals).
This is not so much a focus on political parties or ideologies, but more the NC (national committee) portion of it. I understand state political parties. But when expanded to the national committee's of those parties, how are those organizations not considered a monopoly for their parties centralizing and controlling the state level and have completely overtaken national decisions which can effect the state level as well.

I definitely wouldn't suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn't a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can't recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what's present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
I thought about this in response to a comment someone made and postured a position in which the RNC and DNC are really just two monopoly companies at this point ([link](https://lemmy.ml/post/20577795/13854574)). I know there's protection for political parties, but is that what these really are now with how they're structured (kinda like they're ticketmaster/livenation for politicians at this point)? I couldn't find an easy answer and trying to dive deeper keeps pulling up irrelevant articles.

NNOO!!! Matrix was a documentary though!! /s But seriously though, if I were Keanu I would steer really wide and far from anything like this because of the semi-cult following he got from the movies. There was borderline problems with people conflicting the metaphors of the movie to actually say it's reality and we are trapped. Like it's a cool hypothesis and explains some things easily like religion, but takes all the fun out of actually researching or discovering something universe shattering like that.

The AI went back in time and changed what was posted. Saw it happen to a guy in NC last week.
Been slowly running into more results from DDG that seem to have some "personal parameter" or difference in search results. I had a search saved from some months ago, went to check it for some references and got new hits involving local organizations that had nothing to do with the search. Opening up a private browser I see that the searches aren't 100% matching up either. I see this as only getting worse, I want to be able to enter a search and it searches for my query. Not based on my personality or whatever info is being collected. Does anyone know a search engine that's reliable and focuses on giving the same results and doesn't try this "personalized" crap?
Full build details can be found at the following [link](https://www.instructables.com/Animatronic-Stargate-helmet/). This will probably be a weekly spotlight for DIY creators with full instructions. If there is someone you want to nominate for next week, just leave a link below in the comments.

Really decently made by [Power543 fan films](https://www.youtube.com/@SGUDistantHope). I'm not sure how I feel about ret-conning footage putting the character in but I suppose with such a limited cast like Universe you would have to insert someone. There's talk of a [Star Trek/Stargate](https://youtu.be/TInEYG1fnK8) crossover (another fan made film in the link) that they're developing, hopefully it comes to existence.

This was another DIY project I ran across that looks a little less intimidating than [Kristian Tysse's](https://thestargateproject.com/) Stargate Project. The link has full build instructions, how to order parts, and 3d models for completion. If you're looking at getting into diy electronics and love stargate this could be a cool project for yourself or a loved one! (I think I'm getting ready to gear up for something like this) [Youtube clip of the project.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8rE4XJU4TM)
I ran into an old movie I had on VHS as a kid titled ["MegaForce"](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084316/) (1982) ([RT link](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/megaforce)). I hadn't seen the movie in decades and was worried looking at a rotten tomato score of 6% that if I watched it, I would be completely disappointed in the movie as an adult. Surprisingly, I didn't realize as a kid that it was actually more of a spoof comedy action movie like a knock-off "Hot Shots" or "Naked Gun" and just completely enjoyed watching it again because it felt like a whole new experience (definitely better than the new G.I. Joe's lol). So what's your movie from your past that you'll always enjoy no matter how cheesy or horrible it may seem?
I'm not sure how I first ran into it but it seems there are a lot of paintball places that embrace the Stargate franchise! There is a permanent zone for our UK family, [Paintball UK - Stargate Zone](https://www.paintball.co.uk/game-zones/stargate/) Another mention that has unfortunately passed, The Swamp Fun Park had a stargate themed event "[STARGATE: THE NID PROBLEM CONTINUES](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stargate-the-nid-problem-continuespaintball-only-event-tickets-639536349437)". Found a [vid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Oj8PgE75Z0) from someone participating, really wish they recorded the scenario briefing and the lore behind what they were doing though. If you're into both of these aspects, definitely look around because I've found a lot of different ones that have expired but seems to be a reoccurring theme people like to use.
I've been seeing more often (and others have posted the same) that some of the elements of "Reddit etiquette" seem to be taking over here. Luckily I can still find discussion comments but it seems the jokes and general "downvote because I disagree" are slowly taking over. So the question becomes is it the size or the functionality of the site? The people or popularity? What's your thoughts? edit: should I change it to Lemmy-hivemind? Exhibit A: the amount of downvotes without a single explanation (guessing it's anything to do with Reddit being talked about).

I just wanted to use my voice to let everyone know about this since it seems to be something they want to Streisand effect. I made a discussion on the stormgate steam page about how their EULA has a bad link to their privacy policy and asked why the information listed in the policy is being collected. It had to go through the review process since it contained links and then after being posted was deleted from my history after an hour (I guess when someone actually laid eyes on it) For the full details I already made a [post](https://lemmy.ml/post/19114129) in the privacy community asking if this was a common occurrence.

This is the official ride video that was thankfully saved. If anyone has VR and has watched it like that let me know how it went! From [Stargate fandom wiki](https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Stargate_SG-3000) > - a simulator thrill ride based around the highly successful MGM television series Stargate SG-1 that made its debut at The Space Center in Bremen and Germany in December, 2003. A reproduction has now been built at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Marine World (which is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom). As of 2006, Six Flags Great America no longer shows Stargate SG-3000. > - 3000 years after the events of Stargate SG-1, the Stargate Network has long since been shut down by the Asgard. However, the network now becomes active again and the stored consciousness of General George S. Hammond reactivates to guide new SG team members through the gate to stop Satra, the daughter of Apophis who wishes to get revenge for the death of her father. It's... interesting what they were trying to do with the IP. Apparently in 2021 the simulator was [purchased](https://darkridedatabase.com/rides/stargate-sg-3000/) by Hennie van der Most to be installed at Attractiepark Rotterdam (hard to follow the trail after that without translations but doubt they have the rights to show the old ride). Some other interesting things to note: From [CoasterBuzz](https://coasterbuzz.com/Forums/Topic/mgm-and-six-flags-launching-stargate-themed-interactive-rides) (2004) > MGM's syndicated Stargate SG-1 television show will be the basis for a simulator film showing at three Six Flags parks this year, including Marine World, Kentucky Kingdom and Great America. Stargate SG 3000 features a four-minute simulation film that lets audiences experience what happens when they soar through the Stargate into different dimensions. The 20-minute overall guest experience includes a themed queuing area, the mission briefing/pre-show and the motion simulator theater.
