Same. For the longest time I was made to believe that crying in front of people was weak. Especially, when those tears came from entertainment. Then I watched Schindler’s List and bawled like a fucking baby at the end when…
Tap for spoiler
Schindler starts pointing out all the possessions he still had, which he could have bartered to save more Jews and the overwhelming support from the ones he did save comforting him.
It fundamentally changed who I was and what I was willing to show emotion for, especially empathy. I found that any movie based on actual events, that ended tragically, would illicit a similar response.
It was only after years of therapy and the support of wonderful people in my life that I learned to feel that deeply for any media with resonating characters. Elon said empathy is a human weakness, but he’s never been so wrong. It’s the only thing that binds us together.
I have used Voyager for lemm.ee access so long that I struggle to use Interstellar now that I’m on feddit.online. I’m actually on here now because I could not get Interstellar to show me the same content that I get with Voyager.
I change my defaults to show top and get posts from 11-months ago. I change it again to hot and get posts from 5-days to 1-month ago. I don’t understand what threads, microblog, and timeline mean. I just want to see type by the time frame, like top day, hot 12-hours, top all time, and etc.
It’s too hard to get screenshots and images on my phone so I’ll post examples in a little bit. I really like Voyager and Lemmy but I suspect the lack of app parity may be what keeps some from seeing Lemmy as a true contender to reddit. I’m all for improving the experience as a whole so this is not intended to be heavy criticism of Interstellar!
