The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

I quit going to movies when they started blaring loud obnoxious commercials under the guise of "entertainment" prior to the movies supposed start time. Going to a movie used to be a social thing you did with friends, but now with them blasting that shit at you at a volume that makes talking impossible what the fuck is even the point? The fact that ticket prices are climbing to this level with this kind of jack assery is ludicrous. And don't get me started on the 20-30 minutes of previews they show after a movies supposed start time. Just fuck this shit.

Anyone else feel like Google's handling of Android is genuinely incompetent at times?

So many Google things get half assed and then never get updated. I used an iPad today and it was kind of crazy having the autofill service just work. On Android I always need to click between user and password several times, do a long hold to select autofill and have THAT do nothing. Do a long sigh, open up Bitwarden and copy the password and return to the app only to find the autofill popup offering to fill in the password now. It's been that bad since day 1 and is pathetic they have never updated what would be such a nice feature.

So yeah, I'd agree sometimes they are pretty incompetent.

Crappy band removes guitarist from photo when he can no longer perform due to healh reasons

Reply in thread

By "removed" I mean they clearly photoshopped Mick out of this photo. I have no problem with Motley Crue continuing on without him (other than Vince Neil being fucking awful). But take some new photos with the current band for fucks sake. Shopping a longtime band mate out is disrespectful, shitty, and mildly infuriating. Especially since he retired due to a painful and crippling disease.

I seen that tour too. Alice was fucking awesome. So glad I got to see him. Was going to see him on the Frankenstein tour but it got canceled. They were playing with Judas Priest as well, which would have been fucking awesome. I never got to see Priest, but real happy I got to see Alice. Guy still puts up a great show.

For Motley Crue... Yeah Vince is fucking awful. Lol skipped every other word because he was out of breath and mumbled the rest. The YouTube videos just don't do justice to how bad he is live. I thought Mick Mars was pretty good though. He could still shred on the guitar, which is amazing with the pain he played through.

The fediverse is empowering users like never before, but concerns persist

Reply in thread

As toxic as Reddit is, it is a huge wealth of information if you can search and parse it. It also encourages small niche topics that wouldn't get any attention without a huge audience to draw from. If Reddit is no longer going to feed that role, I hope SOMEPLACE becomes that kind of place in the future. If it's the Fediverse nothing stops instances from creating smaller communities within it. Could be best of both worlds. Or it could ruin it. I guess I don't know.

People Can Be Convinced They Committed a Crime That Never Happened

I once had a dream where I went to jail, and it felt extremely real. When I woke up it took a while to shake it and weeks later I would think back to it and it still felt very real and sometimes took me a while to decide if it was a real memory or not. It was to the point where I considered jumping online to research it. Definitely a weird experience, but can see how it could be easy to convince yourself that a memory is real.
