Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?
2·1 month agoFifth Element was at the top of my movies that I would stop and watch when scrolling cable channels alongside Top Secret, Clue, and Shawshank.
You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Planet of the Apes
- The Secret of NIMH
- many John Wayne movies including True Grit
Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

News@lemmy.world•'Worst of the Worst'? DOJ Figures Show 97.4% of 614 Detained Immigrants in Chicago Had No Criminal Record
8·5 months agoIt’s even worse if they’re using “criminal record” the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).
I don’t have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.

Most app devs fuck it up (especially the lazy bastards that just throw everything in /opt and call it a day). I like being the dev who won’t let my code ship until everything fits nicely into FHS 3.0.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?
6·11 months agoFred Rogers (of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood). For my generation, he helped to shape our views on kindness and compassion for humankind. He fought for public access funding in the United States. He helped break color barriers on television. He helped us enjoy jazz.
I have not encountered another media personality who was so genuinely invested in making sure that kids had the tools they needed to deal with the emotional parts of existence. I’m tearing up again thinking about how much he did for us.
