op added a paywall free link. phone number's needed for profiling/marketing.

Two options:

• you can watch this movie by yourself using the links above, optionally re-playing the monsterdon comments which are archived on https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/ (it takes a day after the watch party for them to be put there)
• if you want a live Monsterdon watch party, @[email protected] hosts a ReMonsterdon watch party 6 hours earlier that watches movies from previous Monsterdons, so that would be... 8pm Sunday your time? Tomorrow we're watching Blacula (1972) see more info here: https://eggplant.place/collection/4fudrrfAyocAtkSv6ltlb6

like an enormous sumo wrestler, full of fat

Slander! Sumo wrestlers are defined by having a lot of muscle. Source: https://youtu.be/jcppRWz3_as?t=349 Yes, they have fat but that serves a similar purpose as armor and sandbags: to help defend themselves and make them difficult to move.

New sumo tourney starting in 2 weeks! ![email protected]

if anyone’s got a hot tip on how to see my posts there that’s great

so... I'm not an expert, but I think if you go to the basic lemmy search function on lemmy instance A, you can search by user on lemmy instance B. the search field requires some text but you can put a single space there. That'll give you all the posts/comments that federated from instance A to instance B.

For example, I have an account on slrpnk.net that I don't use any more, but on lemmy.world I can search for it thusly:

https://lemmy.world/search?q=+&type=All&listingType=All&creatorId=10734489&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=false

Images won't be available (bc slrpnk.net is down and the images are hosted there) but all the posts and comments should be visible -- if the community was being federated to lemmy.world.

In sumo, every day is leg day!

It was meant to be delivered over dialup.

Nobody said cats? I'm very disappointed. I'm going to comb my hair, look at you reproachfully, then go to sleep.

yeah check these out for more details, including some info from the lemvotes developer:

• https://lemmy.world/post/35896883
• https://lemmy.world/post/33841513

Yeah, I think what lemvotes does is: act as an instance to receive posts and comments, but only for the purposes of showing the up/down votes.

Federation is pretty interesting, everything is relative, like:

• if you're on instance A posting to a community on instance B and someone from instance C upvotes, and instance A has defederated instance C, does that upvote count?
• If you're looking at it from an account on instance C yes, if you're on instance A then no.
• imagine you're looking at this from instance D. Before instance C's user upvoted, maybe you'd never heard of instance C so if someone asked you about that user you'd be like: huh? 404.

At least I think that's how it works, idk I'm not an expert.

Sure, take a look at these:

• this post: https://lemvotes.org/post/sh.itjust.works/post/68609892
• my votes: https://lemvotes.org/user/[email protected]

Yeah it 404s for me sometimes too, and sometimes if I re-try it later it works, idk why.

No way Area 51 would be on a map because it's Top Secret! That's actually the state of "Las Vegas."

And Ohio is crazy, no way such a thing would really exist, it's just a meme. That's actually the state of "The White House."

Why are people downvoting this, it's pretty good. (I've been watching a lot of Miami Vice recently tho.)

Great movie. When I first watched it I thought it was just "okay" but over the years, various scenes kept popping into my head.

Huh. I interpreted it to mean: if you end up with a crappy result, it's on you and not the tools. This leads you to think: should I focus on improving my skills? Or change the task? Or adjust expectations? etc.

Boston would be the brains, NYC the brawn.

The term is derived from the verb to handfast, used in Middle to Early Modern English for the making of a contract ... cf. also the Italian loan word manifesto in English.

little details like this are so fascinating.

This is the "This is my BOOM stick!" movie, right? I don't think I ever seen it!
