what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you?
  • Your life, physical and then professional were both threatened. The things you mentioned aren't little oopsies. These are well beyond normal. You describe being assaulted and abused. Those aren't suck it up and learn situations. That isn't a regular kind of problem. You should seek trauma counseling.

    Has google stopped working for finding anything?
  • no and it's ALL googles fault. It's not a walled garden problem, It's a google problem. I'm searching for specific items to buy and look for small shops with online presences. Google will NOT give me results for shops that don't advertise with them. I can even type the name of the shop into the search. Sometimes Bing, sometimes duck duck go will give the results.

    I can have the site open in one window and use another to type the description of an item I am looking at AND the name of the site I am searching on google and it's like 'Nope' never heard of them. i have to type the url in to the search bar then it will return a link.

    Now sponsored links pop up a plenty.

    We are the product being sold to advertisers. Search is working as intended.

    Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?
  • For the justice league there was a different director. Why the hell wouldn't this movie, where he was the director, be the directors cut. Was there some kind of public split with netflix?

    You should just watch it. It's fun to watch. It's not really deep, but there is lots of action and it looks great. There are 15 characters but only 3 are developed hero and 2 villians. Most of the characters have no effect on the film and could have been 100% cut out with no loss of plot.

    I liked the worlds and the development of the main conflict. The action was on point and the main character was well acted.

    Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy
  • I'm considering it. Will certainly downgrade the service and let them know why. I normally don't care as much as others but I see the 2024 election as a big thing and I don't want to support services the directly finance insurrectionist communications.

    How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
  • That seems like an odd thing to state. There are lots of wired headphones and ear buds of all prices and styles. Are you only looking in store or also online?

  • "There were even cows on that list, though they were probably the result of scavenging rather than hunting." I'd like to think that no, house cats took down a 2000 pound cow.

    Texas cops arrest 11-year-old honors student and put him in solitary confinement for three days
  • Yes. that is exactly what I said. The full source of the threat reported needs to be examined. If the principle is found to be the origin he needs to go to prison.

    If you could travel the multiuniverse, what would be the first universe you would visit?
  • As a great though experiment start to write to yourself from there and then take on the personality of that person and respond.

    What would they say to you? Obviously things go wrong in every universe so how does that alternate universe you mentally frame issues. What decisions do they make when faced with choice.

    ( trying this with bard led me to being a cyborg this made me like AI more and trust it less)

    German-Israeli Shani Louk is confirmed dead, 3 weeks after Hamas captured her and paraded her through Gaza in her underwear
  • I mean yeah. She was getting all sorts of attention that they didn’t want. Handing her back would create a version of her side of the story. She was all negatives from the press standpoint so they quietly killed her.

    Is She-Hulk actually bad or are the 'haters' just misogynists?
  • The show fails at comedy and that was the central item that was supposed to hold it together.

    The problem is the the show is supposed to be absurd and doesn’t get there. The jokes don’t land and that wrecked the premise.

    She hulk is a supposed to be a tongue in cheek takedown of the marvel’formula’ she calls out each item as it happens.

    The tone they hit is about. Halfway where it needs to be where they want the main character taken seriously at times and irreverent at others.

    The twerking scene is a perfect example of this. There is no reason for Megan thee stallion to have Jen as a lawyer. So it should be absolutely insane that a lawyer declares that she will kill for a client then starts busting a move with them. It should be so far outside of the norm for lawyers and the characters that it feels like a flash mob performing’never going to give you up’. Spoiler it doesn’t, it feel like just another set up joke. It never hits the line right between jokey and serious.

    The finale didn’t land because it felt too serious. It was supposed to be gut ripping funny when she hulk travels from marvel show to the main menu.

    It was a HEAVY lift to write and they didn’t get there. The main actor wasn’t charming enough to pull off the character development and comedy scenes. the vfx obscured any nuance in performance.

    It was halfway between falling down and Ferris bulers day off and that’s not a good thing.

    I run a homelab and have no trouble finding enthusiasts who go super in-depth about how to use the hardware and software. Where are the good Apple ecosystem enthusiasts?
  • "I’ve noticed that the Apple equipment has far less documentation on the whole." Since the ios/macOS are closed source it's falls more on Apple to provide documentation. Most of the good Apple resources are the programming references(https://developer.apple.com/).

    Signing up as an Apple developer is a good way to get access to lots of information on ios/mac specific items. Most of home lab type stuff is going to be an adaptation of a 'nix process.

    It's frustrating since the programming references aren't really great resources on how to do something though the UI. You have to figure out how the functionality you want is exposed.

    Yes. You are absolutely in the wrong places talking to the wrong people. It sounds like it is rubbing off on you.

    Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?
  • $8 buys a container of instant coffee and a single cappuccino is $6.

    I’d love Starbucks everyday.I drink instant coffee, because money.

    Sort of like asking with restaurants around everywhere does anyone bother to cook. It’s awesome but cup noodles will hit the spot as well.
