Great. Now if he'd invest in some sound techs, microphones, or ADR studio time, he'd be making films that might interest me...

I can understand less than half the dialog in his works, which is pretty frustrating. If I remember correctly he's actually gone on record that this is intentional, too.

I've been meaning to try Logdy out. Thanks for the reminder!

Definitely a Stellar's. And they definitely love emptying bird feeders. Typically looking for something they like that's not even in the feeder, seemingly. :/

They made an unwatchably-bad movie based on this, too, with Don Johnson. I tried to watch it a month or so ago, and the acting, pacing, and set-work was so cringey I only made it a few minutes in before noping out. (I only skimmed the interview, but it sounds like they intended it to be bad?)

I had a doctor try to force me off my atenolol and metoprolol to amlodipine. Ostensibly because she "didn't like" that I was taking such a high dose of two separate beta-blocker meds. Not sure if she thought I was going to take them all in a fit of despair, or what, but it went really badly. My anxiety and ADHD were a lot worse, rather than better, and my BP skyrocketed.

I can't take stimulants. My body can't metabolize them well (or at all?), so I end up knocked unconscious for half the day. Basically, 6-8 hours where I can stay awake only by fighting tooth and nail. Even on fractional doses! Wild stuff. While their results are interesting (especially for those like me who failed every single non-stimulant, hard) this could be helpful. Oooor it could just be more big pharma BS with no up-side. So hard to tell anymore.

Oh yeah. I'm diagnosed with adhd and waiting is actually physically painful, which isn't something most people understand, I guess?

I'm not straight and have no idea what it sounds like. (Not what you asked, but my incredibly straight parents have no clue what Grindr even is, if that helps. :)

Same here, it'd have to be something AI-hardened, though, still.

If it's a model that uses an SD/SDXC card you could always take it out and put it in read-only mode (slide the little switch on the side of the SD card itself.) They'll assume there's nothing to see and move it.

I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else's driving. Utopian ideals, man.

I'm so sorry. It's tricky for everyone, I suspect. Maybe more so for some.

I wish I had some expert tips, but I never had any luck myself, and eventually gave up. It just always hurt too much when everything was secure enough not to "pop out" on me. Which made leaving the house that way untenable as all heck: who wants to walk or drive with their groin aching from the deathgrip of pain holding them by their tender bits? :c

I hope you have more luck with the gaff. It's something I never got around to exploring, as I figured for me it would be more of the same constant dull ache. I'm old enough not to worry too much what people think if they notice, which I know isn't a solution for everyone.

Glad to help! XD

;D

Haha, yeah! Most home theaters don't have a decent set-up, either. (I sure as heck can't afford that hardware if I can't afford theater tix...) When even headphones don't help me understand the dialog, then something is really wrong in their process. :b

The horrors persist, but so you do. Continue to exist to spite the universe, if nothing else. <3

browsing fedi in the workplace when one should be working is a wild reason to force people to cw things you don't care for. all you're doing is forcing people to always use content tags, even if they're not posting anything remotely unsafe.

They just may be the future, but the header "Passkeys are one of the few security constructs that make your life easier, rather than harder", unironically in an article this long explaining them... whew. Yeah, fun to use. /s

Moving to git is one thing, but doesn't going to GitHub put all their code at risk for CoPilot AI mining by Microsoft? (If one considers that a bad thing, which many don't, I guess.)

I tried, I really did. It just made me uncomfortably bored. (Which from someone who's rewatched every MST3K I could get my hands on a dozen or so times each, is saying something. :)

I love bad movies as well. This one was too far over the line for me, I just wasn't interested in its specific brand of "meh". (Admittedly I have never read the book, and have never heard anything good about this author before, despite reading a ton of sc-fi. Maybe you need to know the author to enjoy it?)

I don't know what to tell you. I'm glad your experience was better than mine and you enjoyed them!
