Nevermind that, what weird place are you in that calls Halloween “beggars night”??

Three Dog, the radio DJ for “Galaxy News Radio” within Fallout 3, was one of the best parts of the game.

The Fallout series has lots of other media within media too, like the Grognak the Barbarian comic series or Cat’s Paw magazine.

I would like to see Zach Braff as a lead or regular in something new.

Does Lemmy have anywhere I can see a log of which posts I’ve upvoted?

👍 Appreciated.

The catch: Municipal red tape might stop the statue even before it can be cast.

• The city has a moratorium in place for all new memorials in the Public Garden or on Boston Common, according to Lynn Page Flaherty from the Friends of the Public Garden, the nonprofit group that advocates for the city’s oldest green spaces.
• The bench is also already dedicated in memory to another person, which presents a problem for the effort to honor Williams.

My first thought after reading was also that the charges seemed excessive.

Thank you for your efforts! I’ve been up voting regularly and will try to start posting occasionally again as well.

The main things we need to do to grow the community are:

• continue to get the word out to people who haven’t yet joined. Post in c/NewCommunities, post on Reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives, do a regular search for Lemmy posts / comments in other communities and invite posters to join.

• we should encourage everyone to UPVOTE posts here whenever possible. Upvotes not only encourage existing posters and incentivize new ones, posts with good upvote momentum could help more Bostonians across Lemmy find the community through the popular Hot or Top Day sorts on Lemmy.

I understand the desire behind this suggestion, but I think it would actually result in fewer people contributing, because it adds another hurdle to posting content.

For anyone else who was concerned like I was about the credibility of reporting by “The Grouch,” here’s an alternate source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/16/texas-greg-abbott-pardons-daniel-perry

No need to beat yourself up, just make simple changes to improve. Write a one paragraph summary for yourself after each chapter, or list key points you want to remember. The next day, review it and take 10 minutes to think about how that chapter applies to your life or other things you’ve read.

Once you’ve finished the book, rewrite & combine your notes into one or two pages and flip back through the book to find a quote or two that stands out to you. Then set a reminder on your calendar one month in the future to review your summary page.

Note-taking, rewriting notes, and spaced repetition are all proven study techniques. It’s a little extra time, but it’s nothing compared to the time you’re spending reading, and it’ll make a big difference in how well you remember your takeaways from it.

Looks cool. I’m most concerned about the tone of the show; the games are filled with absurd, exaggerated, and cartoonish elements that work well in that medium, but might come across as unbearably cheesy in live action.

No reason not to give it a shot though. 🤞

It’s funny because he’s not nice on TV to people asking him for money so it’s okay to murder him amirite

Copyright protects small creators. If it weren’t for copyright and trademark laws, any new and trending song / story / media would be instantly ripped off by corporations that would exist solely to throw budget at reproducing and popularizing their own soul-less versions of peoples’ work, without any compensation for the original creators. Artists and photographers would never see a dime from the countless t-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc. other corporations would create and sell using their pictures.

I know there are many frustrating issues with how copyright law has been abused by large corporations who have gotten it extended way past the point of its original intent, but remember not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Copyright as as a basic legal concept is the only thing that gives many creators a chance to make a living from their work.
