Yes, the first humans on the Americas showed up around 10-25 thousand years ago. But the first immigrants, by definition, would have been the first humans to show up after the First Humans to show up.

The first humans in the Americas would be what we call native or indigenous Americans today, but the first immigrants to the Americas, according to our history, would be the first Europeans to come here.

Puritans, and that’s who the pilgrims were.

Respect. But we don’t know each other, ok?

Well radio was originally mostly about advertising, and when TV came around it was just gonna be radio but with moving pictures! So yeah, it was about spreading more advertisements around to more people.

I’m not surprised. I felt like it was a movie no one asked for since it was announced.

I went, and I enjoyed it, but I didn’t think it was as good as I’ve seen many on the internet say it is. I’ve also enjoyed most of the movies since Endgame, so I’m probably a weird fan.

I’ve been playing Jedi Survivor off Game Pass, and the 12GB I have is getting maxed out. Wishing I woulda had the extra money to get one of the 16GB gpus.

I wasn’t talking about the kidneys that time, more generally about others deciding who dies

Is there a Best of Lemmy community? Cause this belongs there.

Being social is being social. While I do think we’re not rats, lol, I do think we are both bound by the same laws of social dynamics. That’s why I’m seeing the similarities.

No, I think whenever it’s up to someone else, without my permission, it’s always bad.

Edit: as in I’d rather not have someone else choose when I die. That’s between me & physics or god or the universe or something that isn’t some other person.

“…when mice were given what people supposed would be a mice utopia”

But it also works as a comparison to our real world, where the ability to expand is restricted.

Just remember the trauma doesn’t own you, and one day, you won’t see loss in everything again.

That’s why we have to make it a time-fuck. You don’t even know what’s going on, but the musical episodes tie it all together, and are the key to escaping the spell…

I like the “we’re broken & magic doesn’t make it better,” but I wanna fit all, or most, of the musicals into their own episodes. Though, an action-musical sequence in a The Magicians game would go hard af.

Ayo, fuck whomstever downvoted my homie zabby!

It would be clearer if you capitalized Questionable Content. I read it a few times before I understood what you meant.

Naaaahhhh, I was a daily reader of Questionable Content like a decade ago (got married had a kid & forgot about QC), and I don’t at all agree that marrying a sentient robot in QC is like marrying an elf in a fantasy setting. Elves are people, just not human people, in those settings; both are organic & come with that dirty nasty that is reproduction. I fully recognize we can fall in love for personality or mind (which a sufficiently advanced AI could host), but biological love is different.

I was being snarky

I definitely simplified it a fuckload

Oh my bad I totally thought it was rats, I’ll edit my comments accordingly

We need cars without wireless connectivity again.

If you wanna hack my car, you should have to find the hidden port 🤣
