We weren’t really taught about it when I was in school in the 2000s. I didn’t know the details until a few years ago when I got really into an Irish band, Bricknasty. One of their songs included a eulogy for Ross McDonnel, an Irish documentary filmmaker, and I fell down a rabbit hole.

We weren’t taught about African politics because “they’re always at war” (a racist oversimplification, of course) but I was surprised that they skipped over a predominantly white country’s war…until I realized it’s a story about an “underclass” uprising. Can’t be teaching kids that the oppressed can organize.

I gave up magnetic connectors for this reason. Nothing fried but the port got hot to the touch and that was it for me

That isn’t the premise for Battle Royale. (Most of?) the kids didn’t want to be there

Controversial opinions are supposed to be opinions, not claims of fact. And what you said isn’t true. RFK’s idiotic opinions don’t represent the country as a whole

But still, I thought "they JUST made one!’ for some reason. I must be thinking of a different classic novel adaption made recently

Ya know, I thought the same thing but I looked it up and the last film adaptation was 2005 and the last miniseries was 1995

Wikipedia article?? OP is just stealing them from reddit with a Firefox extension. They’re a bot, can’t even give them credit for low effort

I’m talking about social media and the Internet as a whole.

Nothing you’ve posted is original. It’s all reddit posts that you’ve…get ready for it…reposted.

How about reposting everything over and over?

Why are you so insistent on multiplying and spreading what already exists?

Why is MORE content better for you than GOOD content?

I would rather Lemmy be 100% OC with a handful of posts per day than for it to be yet another bucket where you can dump ancient memes. We’ve got enough sites like that.

Also, definitely a bot. Your clipboard isn’t truncating post titles when you manually copy and paste shit from reddit.

Also also, you’re not a creator. Why would an actual creator be incentivized to use a site where 99% of it is shit stolen from reddit? Wouldn’t they prefer a site with fellow creators?

I’m ok with you getting pushed out.

Hi it’s me, the person you’re talking about.

Let’s get one thing out of the way first: you’ve admitted that your posts are automated, as if it wasn’t obvious. You’re a bot. You’re not tagged as one, but sanitation@lemmy.today is a bot that a human sometimes uses.

Now as for the content you bot, I don’t have an issue with a lot of it. Go ahead and post your links and memes. Meme culture is built on theft, anyway. I don’t dislike you any more than any other mass poster who is rarely present in the comments of their posts

It’s the content you steal from OC communities that drives me crazy. You justify it as “encouraging content” but that sure hasn’t planned out - you’re the dominant poster in every com you repost to.

You take every joke from shittymoviedetails and, by not linking the source, basically claim it as your own. But don’t think the solution is to include a link. Just don’t repost it at all.

You copy and paste other people’s complaints to a community for venting about minor gripes. And since they’re not YOUR complaints, you aren’t getting the catharsis of the original poster. You’re literally just spreading negativity. This one especially pisses me off because THAT COMMUNITY WAS DOING FINE before you flooded it.

If you’re gonna be a spambot, at least show us the respect of fixing your shitty repost machine to deal with long titles.

TL;DR: You’re an untagged bot making the Internet a worse place by reposting the dumbest shit from reddit
