My wife and I go on actor kicks, and RO was one not too long ago. Might have been spurred on by seeing The Lighthouse, but then it became let’s just watch what he’s done. I won’t watch Twilight, not my jam, but my wife watches it with our daughter, who is now team whatever, I dunno. But Good Time was a great recent flick that switched me from RP to Safdie movies in general.
I’m a huge fan of Jon Bernthal too. His role in Sicario was the cherry on top of an excellent movie. He shows up for every role, whether it’s ten minutes or leading man. I haven’t seen the Punisher, mainly because I can’t stand comic book movies made in time after Nolan’s batman series. I feel like the whole genre just blew up and became incredibly oversaturated - but this isn’t about that, it’s about Jon Bernthal. He’s just a good actor and has a great screen presence that pulls me in.
Vice Principals was so good, and it was incredibly disappointing that it got canceled. Righteous Gemstones does not scratch that itch for me, though Goggins as Uncle Baby Billy is just another character in what is a great showcase he’s put together. I feel like he kinda went under the radar for a bit and he’s getting his due now, and deservedly so.
Dirty Dick’s. Besides the obvious, being able to say “Hey, lemme put some dirty dicks on your taco,” and the like, the stuff is phenomenal. It is not for everything, like, say, a Tapatio would be, but I use it most of the time.
Dirty Dick’s is a sweet heat, and they kill it in both departments. Nowhere on the bottle do they advertise how many Scoville units, because it’s silly. They created a sweet yet spicy sauce that is perfect for pulled pork, or beef/chicken tacos, pretty much anything in the tex-mex spectrum (the texmextrum, if I may).
I have yet to try it with Asian or Indian fare, and I won’t even begin to speculate, because I am far from some culinary genius, I just follow recipes well.
So yes, allow me to shill for putting dirty dicks on your food.
My gaming days are behind me it feels like. I get into stuff with my kids here and there, but my love for gaming kinda went away, and that’s okay.
I got into reading big when I was a lifeguard. I worked at pools that nobody came to, and so I’d just read. It ebbed and flowed in my 20s, but I’m 37 now, and reading is my go-to leisure activity. I’m big on fantasy because I guess I want to escape reality, but there just isn’t really an activity comparable to getting into a good book.
So this certainly isn’t to dissuade any sort of gaming, I did play BG3 and loved it, because I played the shit out of BG2 back in the day. But I will wholeheartedly stand behind your suggestion to others, if you aren’t a reader, take it up. There are so many worlds out there that you’d never think of.
It’s catching, I tell you!
This is Lemmy, which is a byproduct of Reddit, and both of them have generally devolved into worlds of black and white only, although here tends to at least still have some nuance.
Yeah it’s become impossible to have philosophical discussions, although this truly does seem limited to the virtual world (i.e. via text, online, etc.). If I were to go have some drinks with a friend and they busted out some LLM to take part in our discussion I would chastise them endlessly for it.
Yeah, here and Reddit, I find myself nodding along often enough, and that’s when I know I should perhaps adjust my viewpoint, just for the sake of making sure I’m not just nodding along. It’s unfortunate you’re perhaps being brigaded a bit, but it doesn’t matter. I say what I’m gonna say, people can think whatever. I like to think that we can come here speak on things, have philosophical discussions, but it feels like sometimes the whole discussion has been aimed in a certain direction before it even got underway.
This is also assuming there’s some mastermind at the school compiling all this data versus some teacher working essentially a second job dealing with broken chromebooks every day because kids are irresponsible. Suggeating this is anything but good old fashioned vandalism of school property is ludicrous, but it’s also an expected conclusion for here on Lemmy. Some of the comments in this thread are seriously unhinged.
To sum it up, kids are dumb and always have been and it’s nothing more than that.
Yeah I’ve been using an HP laser for a decade, get knockoff ink from some random website that probably steals my info, but whatever, who isn’t stealing my info these days, it’s got almost zero value at this point. Only issues are when it’s just needs to be restarted to work sometimes and I have to walk down to the basement to do it. Need to put it on a smart plug so I can just do it from my phone. Then I need a trained monkey to bring me my prints.
We had two cats. Fed them the exact same way. One got fat and had diabetes, and eventually died because she swallowed something that was not food that got stuck in her intestines. The other cat, he has always maintained a healthy weight. I think it all came down to some kind of feline anxiety though, where she was always seeming anxious, right down to being overprotective of food, and he’s incredibly chill and always has been, except when neighborhood cats wander on our property.
We always opted for Fancy Feast pate, had looked them up when the diabetes first showed up, and they’re apparently high protein, low carb, and they served us well enough. We mix in some other stuff from time to time for variety, but that’s the bulk of it. I’m interested in this Primal though, definitely going to have a look. He is now somewhere in the 13ish range, dunno for certain since he was a street urchin when my wife found him, but we’re trying to let him live a long, healthy life, in spite of his urge to die on the streets somewhere.
That’s why I’ll never smoke crack.
Transcended the rectum, right into the colon.
The US consumers base is bigger than the next like six or seven countries combined, China included. If a country exports literally anything, you can bet the US is one of their larger trade partners, if not the largest. We just love buying shit here and had the money to do it. So I’m just saying, this shit is gonna hurt everybody. If you build something, odds are someone in America will buy it. The US imported $3.2T worth of goods in 2022, and if that shit dries up, all those places need to find someone else to sell that shit to.
I say this thinking this is all dumb, and if the issue was China, as it’s purported to be, and which is something I can totally get on board with, why not just go to trade war with China? China is heavily reliant on American consumerism. The US sent 150b in goods to China, but bought 536b back. With no other of America’s trade partners is the gulf so big. Mexico and Canada combined, the next largest two, were less.
I dunno, I’m just an idiot. I think things are much more complicated than folks on here and Reddit make them out to be. And that’s excluding the plethora of other obvious negatives from this administration. I think we all need to buckle up, and it doesn’t matter where you’re from.
I just learned this the other day when I was joking with my wife that my daughter and their troop got badges for things like breathing and being near things. She told me the back is for whatever, and that when they become Brownies next year, that comes to an end.
I support it all though. Gets the girls together, they do occasionally do things that resemble community service, and I eat too many goddamn cookies.
Yeah, I need to remember if it was ginko or something else. I’m not the greatest rememberer, so I’ll go back and check the recording. Perhaps not natural meant not native, but I recall being surprised at the description. We shall see, always interesting.
Oh sure, yeah we end up going in the room and doing what I assume is subjective refraction, based off my understanding of the English language, but it seems like the machine kinda narrows down the starting window, that’s my layman vibe. You seem like you are more than a layman and I appreciate your input.
I have asthigmastism. My daughter likes prisms, but those are rocks.
Back to the subjective refraction, sometimes I can’t decide between 1 and 2. And yeah we go to 3 and 3 is shit, and so we are back to 1 and 2, and it’s a stalemate.
Overall, I like going to the eye doctor. They are the antithesis of dentists as far as the doctor world goes.
I got LASIK when I was 19. Doctor at the time was like “You may want to hold off since you’re still growing.” I said “What do you know doc, shut up and slice me!”
So imagine my surprise when I’m going to get glasses 12 years later, and they’ve now got all these fancy machines doing shit. My eye appointments in my teens were dark room, eye drops to dillate, read some letters, then the thing with the lenses “which is better, 1 or 2?”
Now you go in and hit machine after machine after machine, and that house/balloon decides when it’s clear for you. Really incredible shit.
You’re responding to the same disingenuous argument you see all over Lemmy made by folks whose jobs are in the IT field.
That being said, why hate Plex? I’m sure, like me, you’re grandfathered in. Is it fucking new users? Sure. Sucks. Not everything is a battlefield, and they’ll eventually fuck me and then I will abandon them, it is what it is. But for now, the shit just always works with almost no tweaking from me. I really can’t ask for much more. Got my mom to watch The Wire because of Plex.
