Almost forgot to mention - just a heads up re: the finger thing - I think @InigoMontoya is looking for you…
Here’s a more more direct route if you’re one of Dread Roberts’ crew… just posted it over on the @13thFloor to preserve the link in case any of the mods here were Humperdinck agents looking for volunteers to test the Pit of Despair.
I rewatched this recently, and yeah, all the cliches are there (some rather clumsily filmed even by 40s standards) - but fuck me if Bogie still doesn’t blow it out of the water with that performance. I can’t think of a single film noir protagonist that matches what he pulled off in that film. He’s better here than he is in Casablanca by a long shot imho.
You see, according to Cocteau’s plan I’m the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”.
Agreed. I’d also like to add that intelligence != wisdom != experience, and you need all three to achieve real understanding.
It’s been depreciating at a pretty constant rate. I’d wait to invest until it’s under $1.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Kbin is the Jamaica of the Fediverse, a land of special people where champions grow.
@PugJesus weren’'t you looking for a spot to perform baptisms?
@Teal explained the context quite well.
Regarding the borking comment, Kbin crashed when I tried to post the image, and it didn’t allow me to delete the post, so I added a comment with the image so folks would have some context.
I just found it funny that it was the top post on /r/all when I happened to breeze by the bad place earlier.
Well, borked picture posting on kbin wouldn’t load the picture properly and now it won’t let me delete the thread, so here it is until I can manage to get this post to delete.
Awesome - thanks!
Thanks much! That fixed it for the 13thFloor. FYI, looks like @scifi is still blocked, and they’re generally pretty cool without spam issues.
Thanks for the update. I’m still getting the following error across multiple browsers when I hit https://lemmy.world/c/13thFloor@kbin.social:
Error!
There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.
Hoping it gets resolved with the update - was worried we’d screwed something up and gotten on your removed list.
Hi - got a note from a user that @13thFloor isn’t federated over there any more as of yesterday. Looks like @scifi, modded by @inkican, was as well. Was there a reason these communities were defederated?
It is on Kbin. Lemmy doesn’t have that capacity yet as far as I know. It’s one of the main reasons I recommend the former - Kbin bridges the gap between Mastodon and Lemmy, and includes functionality from both types of instances. Following users increases your feed content here exponentially.
Great username. Worth a follow.
"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Spezymandias, Admin of Kings;
Look on my Reddit, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
They’ve had issues with CSAM and DDOS attacks - they’re probably using Cloudflare to help mitigate that.
“I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith and I were on the top of a burnin’ building, and we had to fight our way down like five floors of zombies and― Hey, wait a second…I guess that was you guys. Oh, shit, man, I can’t wait to tell Keith about that one!”
