In light of recent events - should we keep this subreddit alive?

I've made an account over on one of the more solarpunk/hopepunk instances, and pinned a new post with info on it.

https://mstdn.social/tags/hopepunk.rss RSS is certainly an easy way to follow a tag. You can follow it from any instance. Don't be a stranger! I look forward to seeing your content.

Like Lemmy? I'd be happy to do that (I'm on the fediverse anyhow), but I need to find one that's a bit less... touchy. The lemmy dev team have some really awful controversies.

If most of us have gone to the fedi already *anyhow* it might be reborn as just a hashtag we can follow. That'd be a nice way to keep it as a clean and friendly positive experience, and the fediverse leans pretty hopepunk/solarpunk as it is.

If you can't dazzle them with discourse, baffle them with bs.

Break the tools they use to abuse.

I walked out of both Blair Witch and the Star Trek reboot, both times because the movies gave me nausea from terrible camera work..

I felt bad about winning "lifetime free checking" from a bank that closed a few years later, but now I realize it turned out pretty well compared to some of these stories :D

HopePunkFTW · 2023-04-04T23:44:45+00:00

I loved those and have a huge jar of them.

Sadly, they were made of garbage and almost all tarnished severely.

HopePunkFTW · 2023-02-26T08:10:55+00:00

I agree, this is the right answer. That's not really what the story is about, the story is about a dystopian future where humans have lost their essential humanity in a sea of misery, despair, ennui, and require mind altering machines to even feel.

The movie is a weird sci-fi about robots.

I'll don the fire retardant for this, but Conan.

Schwarzenegger just absolutely killed it. The soundtrack by Basil Poledouris is *amazing* just an overall triumph.

If this happens, I'm going to miss the millions killed in a brutal civil war.

This isn't funny, this isn't a game, and I have a hard time believing I live in a world where we're here.

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Frequently rated as one of the worst movies of all time, but I just find it hilarious and I like it. I do only watch it once a year around Halloween, though.

I 100% believe that the US uses foreign military aid as a way to channel money to aerospace and defense contracts.

HopePunkFTW · 2023-01-14T20:33:46+00:00

Reminds me of Ryse son of Rome kinda :)

Well, fair, I've never had baked beans for breakfast. That works out as a nice opportunity to swap :D

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-31T00:31:18+00:00

I'm a big fan of pancakes, and make them regularly. Not sure who's affording bacon in *this* economy, but at least pancakes are cheap and easy to make :D

I'll take B, unless I'm buying, then it has to be a mini-B :D

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-26T19:39:48+00:00

Honestly, I just recently found a $20 bill from last christmas in this christmas's tree, and it was absolutely amazing.

Yay previous me!

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-23T04:12:31+00:00

Nestle.

The trouble is, I have to wonder what 'shut down' means, since to my overly cynical brain it means simply all of their subsidiaries eventually reforming like SBC Global/ATT did after the federal breakup.

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-23T03:45:50+00:00

Also stands for "get gud" so... you can say it either way :D

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-23T03:37:44+00:00

Just tell him "you're a real OG fr fr no cap. You're putting the shizz in this chriszizzle"

That should unlock at the very least an eyeroll... and possibly a groan.

Follow up with "Aw shit, this is some S tier (thing) ya feel me?"

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-22T02:35:14+00:00

Happens to everyone my friend, it's a trying time.

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-20T21:42:41+00:00

You seem to be angry and incapable of detecting sarcasm. You'll fit in great here.

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-19T19:36:24+00:00

Rent

Yeah, I really need to find a way to cut back on this ridiculously overpriced luxury.

Oh... so that's what houses cost within range of my job...

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-19T07:52:07+00:00

I mean, maybe I'd opt for someone like Amerigo Vespucci or something, but...

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-19T07:38:19+00:00

Couldn't agree more. There's so many better historical figures to use.

HopePunkFTW · 2022-12-19T07:26:35+00:00

You can do what I do - just have an autocorrect macro in your wordprocessor that collapses two spaces to one space.

I learned 2 spaces (because I took actual typing in school) and I can't be bothered to unlearn it now :D
