(Discussion) The Substance directed by Coralie Fargeat [Spoilers] - Lemmy.World

I just saw The Substance on Thursday in a fairly full theater. I really enjoyed the movie and the last 30 mins was batshit insane and a fun viewing experience in a packed room. While I really enjoyed it and gave it 4.5 stars on letterboxd, my gf was physically uncomfortable for a lot of the movie and didn’t like it nearly as much as I did. Just looking to hear other people’s opinions who have seen it already. It’s been getting a lot of buzz in the movie channel with my discord friends.

[META] Trying to gain traction for a niche community and posts are instantly downvoted from those outside the intended community - Lemmy.World

I’ve fully moved on from reddit to lemmy, but the only thing lacking here are the small niche communities that did well from Reddit’s larger audience. The current community I’m moderating and starting is for the clothing brand Supreme. In it, we post news updates and talk about the new drops that occur on a weekly basis. Anyone who was a part of the reddit Supreme communities would know that this isn’t advertising, and it’s intended for news and discussion for our favorite brand. The posts I’m making are exactly what those people would want to see. And they are being immediately downvoted. I’m assuming it’s because to outsider, it looks like marketing or advertising, but it really isn’t, and these posts aren’t for them it’s for Supreme fans. I just wish people wouldn’t downvote just because it’s not their personal interest. Lemmy won’t get these small communities started if they lose ground immediately from outsiders downvoting.

How to introduce 5 year old niece to new things without 3 year old nephew feeling left out? - Lemmy.World

I’ve got a niece (5) and nephew (3). The niece is really good about finding ways to entertain herself and the nephew will always try and take it for himself and intrude, usually not in a compromising sort of way. Obviously, this is pretty typical kid behavior overall. She’s reaching the age where she can learn more complicated games and ideas, which sounds really fun to introduce her to. If he’s around, I feel like it will certainly cause a meltdown, and he’s too young to reasonably participate anyway. As an older sibling myself. I think it’s also unfair to hold her back until he can participate too. Some would say it’s unfair to do it until he can as well. I would argue that it’s actually unfair to introduce 5 year old games to her when she is 7 and he’s 5 and can join too. She’s being punished imo unnecessarily and being held back. Why does she have to wait till 7 while he gets it at 5? Is the only solution to try and schedule separate activity times to individualize the activities? Am I being biased as an older sibling myself in feeling that I would be holding back until he’s at the same capability? Just curious for feedback. Thanks
