Hey there! FYI I really appreciated this comment. The response to my comment here convinced me that Lemmy isn't really the place for me. I popped back today to look something up, and I wanted to make sure you got a friendly hello after seeing your response.

I totally agree with everything you said. Having shared practices for remembrance and an established "typical" way to demonstrate care for deceased people is a significant part of maintaining social cohesion and so useful for giving individuals an outlet for grief.

The way an entire industry has emerged to capitalize on loss and paij sickens me, but that part is a whole different conversation.

My education is in archaeoligy, and my primary interest was American deathways. I've probably spent more time thinking about contemporary death rites and remembrance than I've thought about anything else as an adult.

Anyway, I hope you're well! Keep on being a cool person.

Ritual and ceremony are deeply important aspects of the human experience. What cultures do with their dead is way, way up there with foodways and adornment when it comes to cultural significance.

The increasingly common view in the West that elaborate death rites are unimportant is really new when compared to the rest of human history. It's probably a postmodern thing? If I'm right about that, that would mean the less reverential attitude towards traditional deatg ceremony is like 110ish years old.

Compared to the 200,000-300,000 years Homo Sapiens have been around (or 45,000 years ago if we only want to discuss the length of time that Northern European-style deathways have most likely been practiced), 100 years isn't a lot to change that cultural inertia.

Sorry, I know this is a Wendy's. Just a frosty, thanks.

Nanny state foolishness. It's just crewed spaceflight, not rocket science.

I'm pleased that she's experiencing the fallout from all this, but whatever logic she used to calculate that political risk is baffling.

Four John Wick movies have grossed over a billion dollars on the conceit that harming a dog is a legitimate emotional catalyst for someone to kill 450 people.

Darcy spilled the beans a couple weeks ago, so unless she was messing with us and JBB is really misdirecting us with that Florida clue, we know one of the films will be Day of the Dead. What do y'all think the other one will be?

Unless she was being cruel and misdirecting us, Darcy already spilled the beans that one of the films will be Day of the Dead (woop!). What does everyone think the other film will be?

There will be another Lemmy live discussion tomorrow night over at !driveinmovies@midwest.social. r/Shudder live discussion refugees are welcome!

https://twitter.com/therealjoebob/status/1679330522323886080?s=20

What do y'all think?

I'm really bad at guessing these, but I'm going to say An American Werewolf in London (1981) and Abominable (2006).

However! Tomorrow is Bastille Day, so I think it would be appropriate if Joe Bob and Darcy played Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001).

TromaMovies YouTube channel taken down due to "community standards violations" (midwest.social)

Lloyd Kaufman is ~~asking~~ begging for help!

On 27 June 2023, YouTube took down the TromaMovies channel over violations of its community standards, leaving many other channels up that commit the same violations. Selective enforcement of rules is not gangster, YT.

Here is the announcement from Lloyd Kaufman.

And here is a MoveOn.org petition gently asking YouTube to unfuck themselves. I know petitions are kinda whatever, but it's a thing we can do.

TIL what an ocular migraine feels like. Not recommended. (midwest.social)

I actually thought I might be having an aneurysm or a stroke. It was weird.

An iridescent zigzag appeared in part of my field of vision, and another portion of my field of vision just... stopped. I had this big blind spot for like an hour, all while this jagged rainbow bastard chilled in my left peripheral.

That went away slowly, only to be replaced with vertigo and exhaustion. Almost no headache, though. I kept verifying that one side of my face wasn't paralyzed or whatever because I've had migraines a few times before, but those were nothing like this! Apparently they can just be this way.

Does anyone else get these? They're dumb.

I'm saying this week it'll be Jug Face and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders.

!conversationpit@midwest.social is a... spiritual successor?... of what r/casualconversation was a super long time ago.

Come post random bullshit that's on your mind, and then talk with others about random bullshit that's on their mind.

I'm having problems uploading images, so I'll pretty the place up with a banner and whatnot another time.
