mysoulishome @lemmy.world Reddit refugee, RIP Apollo 7/1/2023. I laugh at comedy and love love.
Yes, but it you want to do well at an interview this is the shit they will ask
I really enjoyed 2 (The Lost World: Jurassic Park) when it came out in 1997. Not as tight as 1 (script etc) but it was still directed by Spielberg and took took the special effects a little further.
3 wasn’t directed by Spielberg and was awful in my opinion. I hated it.
Going back a few years I loved 90s Mariah Carey and Jewel. Fiona Apple’s debut album was instrumental in my life. Nowadays, I am not a super fan or anything but I enjoy and have very high opinions of T Swift, Gaga, Beyoncé and many other.
My daughter recently introduced me to Chappell Roan and damn she’s amazing.
Google’s AI is really horrible lately. I thought it seemed useful a few months ago and liked that I could ask for up to the minute information that it could pull from the internet…football scores, weather in Costa Rica on different coasts at different times of years. It seemed to pull good info from Reddit or other forum discussions (not just blog spam but things people actually seem to like. Then sometimes it wouldn’t know what day it is. Now it is worse than just google searching what you want. What are the best deals on smart universal remotes? It lists sofabaton and then an RCA and GE remote that aren’t smart but they are promoted on Walmarts website. Then it suggests what to SEARCH. Bitch…you search.
Sounds like they leave the end somewhat vague which is ridiculous. He and his lover die, he comes back for revenge and when he gets it his reward is rejoining her in death where they are together. It’s perfect. What would a sequel be…they kill his dog like John Wick?
It’s one guy, Brian, not a company haha. Kind of like Apollo. I’ve followed him since his first app Carrot To-Do which shamed you into completing tasks. Still wish he’d update that one, it was fun.
I think he knew his license was suspended. Lots of people drive with no license for years and never wear a seatbelt…it boggles my mind but they just act like occasionally getting a ticket for it is part of life.
I typically agree with the aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes for about 85% of movies. Even when I don’t want to haha.
They could record it with Miles Kennedy. I like his voice better than Axl’s from what I’ve heard. I would listen to it.
Least metal thing of all time. I don’t know if he apologized or what because everyone seems to have forgiven/forgotten.
If he gets treated better than Kaepernick I might quit the NFL. He needs to lose his job and either come crawling back to another team down the road after an apology tour (Michael Vick style) or stay gone and join Fox News.
It’s at 47% now yikes. Seems like most critics saying it’s horrible, a few saying it has some redeeming qualities, and some positive reviews that appear to be fake.
Is it just like America where the most religious dudes watch the sickest porn?
That one is crazy how the main character does shitty things like wiping out civilizations just out of spite, then he impregnates a teenage girl and the baby grows up and is all nice and loving but says he is actually his dad and he/his dad love everyone. So much gaslighting.
Of course it’s that thing in Rocky Horror where the camera flashes from bedroom to bedroom in Frank’s sex castle and everybody is singing and fucking, then Janet realizes it’s NOT Brad in her bed
Absolutely. Often there are no fucking useful search results on Google at all besides Reddit threads…
Difficulty setting. I play on easy mode and DGAF what anyone thinks because my time is precious and I’m playing for fun. I decide what’s fun.
Creative/cheat mode…let me just pause, build myself a fantastic 10 story house… Open inventory and spawn a wife, 3 kids, a dog and 2 billion dollars in my pocket. Oh no, does that mean I can't get achievements because I cheated? Oh well.
Steal a car, lose the cops and it’s mine now. No consequences.
Important story moments of your life play as cutscenes which you have no control over…so you can’t mess it up and know you’re exactly where you should be. This would be peaceful.
Hints & tutorials.
Play as a different character.
Choose your appearance instantly -gender, body shape, skin/eye/hair color, size of nose/ears/eyebrows, clothes, accessories
Things you buy spawn instantly wherever you are
Change tattoos instantly, including removing
Closed captioning for all dialogue and other sounds
Increase skills simply by grinding, even for things like skateboarding, singing, playing music, acrobatics etc that require raw talent and YEARS of training/practice
Could be very interesting. It’s so strange to me with current advancements in AI that Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant are all dumb as shit. When will we get a device that is actually smart?
Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist
-
PCMag - I used to physically walk into a store and buy that magazine to read about computers…before the internet was so clean and fast it made for a better news and media experience. I’m pretty sure PCMag has been around since they included AOL cds with an isssue.
-
Woot! Lol…why? Woot was always stupid. The deals were never good. There is no need for it.
Both of these give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000’s. Playing games on Yahoo messenger. GameCube, PS2, OG Xbox.
Shocked they still exist, let alone have the funds to be running Facebook ads.
2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...
Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option.
Fuck Comcast.
I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.
Apologies to anyone outside the United States, this is just complaining about our poor internet options and deceptive advertising by greedy corporations.
Who would you rather face - Ravens or Chiefs and why?
I would prefer to play and beat the Chiefs. The Ravens are very intimidating and they have a great team but I find the Chiefs more fun to watch and while they are hard to beat I don’t feel as afraid of them. Is that crazy?
Anyone else do "last chance socks"?
That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.
Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.
Bard is great as long as you tell it what day it is before you ask a question...
Really boggles my mind when I ask can ask it questions about live NFL games and it can answer in real time but I’ll ask another question and it doesn’t know what day today is…tells me the 2022 season is over because it is cycling into from some rando blog, I think. So smart and so fucking stupid.
Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What?
What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?
Can anyone explain "Good Burger 2" to me? why does anyone want to watch this?
Background for myself, I was a viewer when Good Burger was a sketch on “All That,” a children’s sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. It was basically Saturday night live for kids. They had this heavyset girl who sarcastically read the news like Chevy Chase and shit. It was pretty edgy for nine-year-olds. Good Burger wasn’t even the funniest sketch on the fucking show. All of the comedy revolved around Kel’s character talking like a white surfer/stoner guy…like Bill & Ted, also popular around the time. He misunderstood peoples orders in an adorable way…I’d like a shake so he would shake you. Great.
In 1997 I graduated high school and they released the movie that year… I guess it’s nostalgic and that’s why people remember it. Other 90s kids? Similar to SNL movies, it had cameos from a bunch of stars, and sort of a built-in audience, I guess, because of TV. I’m not sure if it went to theaters, but if it did, I don’t know who in the hell would watch it. Seems more like a VHS or Nickelodeon in the afternoon kind of thing.
For me, I don’t understand how they could squeeze anything longer than a seven minute sketch out of the concept. I guess he Keenan Thompson is funny, but even him I’ve never seen him be funny longer than a seven minute sketch. And Kel is kind of like Jason Mewes, a novelty and not really a comedian or actor. Cool that he’s still around, like the Chinese kid from Indiana Jones.
Edit to add - Ke Huy Quan deserved the Oscar as he’s talented…Kel is not, only nostalgic imo
OK then. Doesn’t make sense to me that this movie was made or that anyone is in it or that anyone would want to watch it. But the Internet won’t stop trying to get me to see it. And it has like 67% critic rating on rotten tomatoes. Am I missing something? There are lots of fantastic movies that barely have 67%.
OK Microsoft... trying to log into Teams while work lapop updates to Windows 11. No longer works in any iPhone browser, including Edge. The app will not authenticate my work login.
Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐
Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…
Teen daughter - I might as well be an alien to her
Posting this separate after my comment became so long…
I’m having a general panic that my 15 year old daughter does not need me at all and I do not factor into her life whatsoever. Try to speak to her and she teases me and brushes me off. Her girlfriend wrote my wife a lovely note how she and my son are so lucky to have a mother who cares about them so much. No mention or even nod to the fact that I exist. We parent as a team…the way she is raised and all of the love and support she gets is 50/50 in my opinion, although my wife has the direct conversations about relationships, sex, girl stuff because she doesn’t want to talk to me about that.
I suffered emotionally as a kid/teen and I have fought to get her therapy and medication, she went from being anxious beyond belief with suicidal ideation to pretty fucking happy nowadays…and that’s because I fought for that, based on my experience. I’ve given her the support I wish I had.
Anyway, I hope it’s just a phase and she will talk to me again someday without giggling like I’m just a weirdo. I know what it’s like to be a teenager, I have a lot of wisdom. I love the shit out of her. I hope it passes and we are super close again at some point.
Last two games are the only ones I wasn't able to watch from beginning to end in about 10 games and I feel like this shit is my fault
Not sure what’s happening but we are traveling, not able to watch from beginning to end things keep going to shit. Need to plan better so this stops…
Every year without fail. Beautiful, perfect weather then suddenly on Halloween…miserable cold snap (Degrees in F)
Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.
Can we do a "weird/funny movie pitch" thread? Feeling silly. Must be original.
Here’s mine.
The year is 1983. Little House on the Prairie has ended its run as one of NBC’s highest rated scripted dramas. Thriller is the best selling album worldwide. Michael Jackson and Michael Landon must switch lives as Landon develops his passion project, tv show Highway to Heaven, and Jackson is about to appear in an NBC special with his brothers where he will wear a rhinestone encrusted single white glove and debut the moonwalk to an audience of 47 million. It is a critical moment in both men’s lives and careers as Landon struggles to bring stirring tales of God working in people’s lives in modern Los Angeles to television, and Jackson will win an Emmy for his performance of Billie Jean. What follows is a heartwarming and hilarious tale as both men put on the other’s shoes and fight for the art they believe in.

These folks called me while driving home yesterday and while I don’t like unsolicited calls and I don’t plan to donate again (right now) I do support their cause. They say they advocate for holding energy companies accountable for fair energy pricing and polluting the environment. Do they? I assume they do. You can use this form to email your representatives.
I’m open to hear feedback if you have other suggestions on this issue.
