Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time!

I don't get people that are here in the fediverse and *want to bring over* the content that is on FB, IG, TikTok, etc.

Brush recommendation for synth dusting?
I use a generic brush that I stole from my gf’s art supply stash.
I’d say you’ll be fine with whatever soft brush you can find, just make sure it’s brand new and doesn’t have paint residues on it.
Also I guess a broad brush would be better since it covers more area, but a thinner one will get into tight spots more easily.

Brandon cronenburg's movies are deeply haunting and disturbing. Why you should watch Possessor and infinity pool. spoilers!
For the love of everything that’s good in Hollywood, it’s spelled CronenbErg. He’s the son of the other, more famous Cronenberg of The Fly, Existenz, Videodrome, etc. fame.
I feel like it’s important to point this out as Brandon’s aesthetic and themes are heavily lifted from his father’s work, although he is indeed exploring the relationship between technology and authority in a very interesting way.
I really enjoyed possessor for its style and themes although it wasn’t a very approachable movie for the larger audience. Infinity Pool was more approachable but I feel like it lacked focus.
Overall, I’m looking forward to what Brandon Cronenberg cooks up next!

The thing in the first picture is called a “hurt-worse” in some parts of Italy because one side hurts and the other is worse.

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

I don’t agree with neither of you but dude, you’re just being dense here. Politics is not a direction where the center is still and the two opposite sides are moving. It’s a matter of ideology and values: centrist values are moderate, try to reconcile capitalism with civil rights, a moderate economic policy where the state intervenes where it is deemed necessary and in general a centrist mediates between polar opposites (at least ideally). If you say centrism doesn’t exist you’re living in a pre-fall of the USSR world.
If anything, now everything is centrist, and what’s worse is that centrism is slowly being absorbed by right wing values (free market, family, public decency, right to defend oneself, more power to the military) whereas leftist ideals were left to rot in a basement for 30 years and now all leftists can babble about is SJW fodder.
I know you hear a lot of leftist propaganda but the whole world is moving the opposite direction. We need class struggle and we need to bring back the middle class.
