Can you turn down the volume on your dog whistle? It’s giving me a headache

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is the three little pigs just a tale about the importance of quality building materials and the incredible lung capacity of wolves?English
47·2 days agoTo add an additional moral here:
In many of the retellings the first two pigs escape to take shelter with the third. When the wolf tries to break in through the chimney, it’s the three pigs together that are able to stop it.
There’s something in there about accepting refugees and coming together in crisis.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would be an interesting magical effect for a pineapple that is displayed but not eaten at a fancy dinner?English
3·2 days agoEveryone who attends a party with a rented pineapple later remembers it as a classy affair. However, you lose the deposit on your rental

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people refer to characters in movies by their actor's names?English
2·3 days agoAll of the reasons above, plus sometimes the character just doesn’t have a name
When I’m talking about They Live, the protagonist is literally unnamed. Rowdy Roddy Piper is credited as “Nada” but even that is never used in the film (Great movie btw, go watch it if you haven’t seen it)
Then sometimes the actor is far more famous than the movie was, or the character wasn’t very memorable, or whatever the case is. Particularly true if the actor is appearing as a cameo

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is Something you are Proud to have Made?English
3·3 days agoI make video games on occasion. My portfolio is mostly jams and unfinished prototypes, and while I am working on something special, at this rate it will be a million years before it’s ready for release.
I catch my wife playing this one sometimes and it makes my heart happy
Sometimes I paint minis. These were a couple of characters I played where I made a custom figure

Kurt is technically a kitbash. I took a figure that was originally a bard holding a harp, cut out the harp and gave him some books. He was a gifted kid turned wizard-college-dropout, really pulling from life experience there.
For Robin I made a couple of additions with clay. I’m really bad at that, but it makes me happy

Mods are volunteers, and therefore will moderate however they feel like. The needs of the community might influence what that looks like, but at the end of the day it’s whatever they want.
Reacting in a timely manner but also requiring a majority are both things that we want to see, but they’re also conflicting ideals. Depending on the size of the community it may be an impossible ask.
If a moderator oversteps, the rest of the mod team could take action. If you can’t trust a single moderator to moderate, then maybe they shouldn’t be a moderator.
It’s not a perfect system, but things rarely rare.
