theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?6·1 month agoThere is a recut of it, still available via torrent, called Chronologically LOST. It is every scene, but in chronological order, and only once each. Really cool way to see the show and make sense of it.

This is a tell tale sign of depression; the feeling that there is no “better” ahead. I could tell you there is but it might be hard to believe.
In my situation, I have a person by my side always who I trust completely. So I have somebody to help keep my head and memory clear… and I still get depressed sometimes. Hang in there.
Don’t even have one at all.
How long is a piece of string?
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any things about China that you're unsure of and need me, a Chinese person, to verify whether they are right or wrong?6·1 month agoDid you say that already? Pretty non-sequitur it seems to me. Just answer the yes or no question, are there significant, legitimate reasons to criticize the CCP?
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any things about China that you're unsure of and need me, a Chinese person, to verify whether they are right or wrong?10·1 month agoA less than one day old account that immediately suggests there are no compelling reasons to criticize the CCP? lol. Too on the nose.
Three series:
- The Wheel of Time
- The Dark Tower
- The Expanse
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Since America's namesake Amerigo Vespucci was an immigrant, what should the United States of America be renamed to? (no wrong answers)7·3 months agoI guess, but with tongue in cheek I thought worser worked betterer.
Wide toe box, durable sole, low drop, and elastic or elastic band closure.
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?4·4 months agoSo, can you clarify the difference between “to say something” and “to say something out loud”?
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?41·4 months agoI think it is common to distinguish between whispering something and saying it out loud or aloud. Like if you say something private in a theatre louder than meant, your date might say, “Shh, you said that out loud.” Otherwise “out loud” would have no place at all as “say” alone would cover this meaning.
You’re right about the saying, but I think that explains the malapropism.

theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is a software developer working for an "evil" company more or as guilty than/as a building maintenance technician?82·4 months agoAt large enough companies, for any given component, many or most engineers will also have nothing to do with it. It could be that you work on an observably tool kit or some such and how no clue how evil X product works. I hesitate to blame engineers either. But management, or c-suite; those are the bad guys.
theherk@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever figured out someone's kink through the media they create?8·4 months agoI think Conan had a similar moment with Sophie during tequila slaps.
I agree, but I’d take it a step further and say we need legislation to far surpass the current conditions. For instance, I think it should be governments leading the charge in this field, as a matter of societal progress and national security.
