I’ve made it to the last season of Murder, She Wrote. For the past two years, it’s been the show I pop on to fall asleep too. Most episodes I’ve seen the first twenty minutes a half dozen times and I have no recollection for what happens during the episode conclusion.

Other than that, Agatha. I wasn’t too sure I would continue until the episode 2 road song. I love a creepy harmony and they nailed it.

Why are dolphins part of this? It’s possible to talk about teaching or evangelizing to people with learning disabilities without comparing them to dolphins.

But who is the No Ears book about? ST characters have huge ears, no ears must be a juicy autobiography.

Wtf were you eating that led to the need for a root canal?

Yeah, down voters who don’t add to the convo are annoying. Not all instances count them. For example, I’m on reddthat and they show up votes but not down votes. Neither your post nor any of the comments on this entire post have a negative count from my view. I chose this instance specifically for that reason because of my emotional reaction to negative counts and down votes.

I won’t make this mistake again. I am never here for negativity from anyone.

To anyone that likes to downvote or be negative, I’d much rather you block me entirely. If I could see who you are, I would absolutely block you.

Hey, I hope mine didn’t come across overly negative, that wasn’t the intent. But also further illustrates why asynchronous written text is a challenge for the sort of conversation you’re looking for; very difficult to read the emotion intended by the writer, easy to see negativity where it isn’t always intended.

I found The Girl With All the Gifts through that doc and glad I did. I like post-apocalyptic scifi and it had some fresh vibes to it.

Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.

It’s a documentary on films by or about black American culture through horror. If not interested in the doc itself, you can find lists of all the films that it talks about.

And the doc is based on or inspired by a book of the same name.

It’s the asynchronous nature of Lemmy then that I think will be your biggest barrier to the complex, nuanced conversation you seek.

A person comments knowing it may be hours before it is responded to, if ever. So they write their comment to stand on its own as much as possible.

“A or B?”

“Neither, not enough information to say one is better/worse than the other”

Self-contained comment for a forum style platform.

Lemmy is a forum platform. Are you seeking a platform designed more for ongoing conversation? Like Discord or Matrix, perhaps.

Not that I want you to stop posting here. Just that you seem frustrated with the types of responses you received when I think those responses look like the obvious sort one would get on a platform designed in the way Lemmy is with the question prints you are asking.

You seem to think it’s because people don’t know how to be vulnerable or open to deep conversation. I think it’s because Lemmy is the wrong tool for those sorts of convos.

I send my mom a USB flash drive with photos periodically because it’s easier than getting her to use Google photos and I don’t have to manage more social media garbage.
