What is your unpopular flim opinion

Films where I don’t recognize a single actor among the whole crew are almost always better than ones where I’ve seen such and such actor in other movies. Just more immersive. And even if they’re not the best actors I’d much prefer that over whatever the hell Chris Prat or Tom Cruise or Leo D are up to.

Dad the grey pipe on the left is linked to the washing machine, it got loose and leaked. How do I stop it happening again?

You should be able to undo it and make sure nothing is cracked or broken first. Then you can add teflon tape to the exposed threads. Two to three wraps in clockwise direction. Then reassemble making sure the connection isn’t too tight. Hand tight plus maybe a quarter turn should be good. Check in a couple days or so and make sure it isn’t leaking and still tight and you should be good!

Charlotte cop is suspended for striking woman 17 times during marijuana arrest — that's 14 times too many, says chief

This highlights the problem of Thc-a and the inability of the police to judge whether or not it is actual cannabis or not. It could have even been a cbd blunt they were smoking! The police would never know. They even were honest and said what it actually was and where they got it.

Regardless of that, who gives a fuck if they’re smoking outside waiting on the bus??? Just because the officers were driving by and smelled smoke… fucking power tripping pigs need to go fuck each other in the mud.

Just let people consume a natural herb if they want why do they care SO much.

What's with all the NordVPN hate?

Reply in thread

Anything that’s so heavily advertised is a big red flag to me. To me it feels like they’re spending more on advertising than making a decent product and hoping people buy it instead of letting the product speak for itself. But that’s not necessarily only about Nord…

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance

Not sure if this is meant to be negative or positive but I for one like all the growing pains and issues. It makes the whole experience a little more engaging for me. I really like reading up on what problems are happening and how the teams are working towards solutions. I especially like the technical details that are just a little over my head because it’s fun to learn about!

Are the ages 25-30 people see the most drastic changes in personal circles/friends?

My SO struggles with this too. I just get by with only one or two people I’d call friends and that works for me. I don’t need a lot.

But my SO struggles with friends in much the same way. They are always the one to reach out to the friends and ask to schedule things and plan in advance but it’s never the friends reaching out to do the same. I consider those not real friends - they’re friends out of convenience because it gives them something to do sometimes instead of actually caring.

So maybe keep track of things like this and see if your friends are actually friends and they care about you or because they get bored and occasionally want things to do.

It seems to me to be pretty normal as you age to distance yourself from others. Especially if you’re in a relationship and/or have a career or job you’re passionate about which it appears you care a lot for your field. Those two things alone will eat up the majority of your time. Throw in friends with that who also may have relationships and jobs etc that eat up all their time too. So naturally it’s difficult to plan things and people fall apart. Totally normal.
