• stop creating characters solely for merchandising, i am looking at you porgs...
• actually come up with an overarching storyline. John Favreau stated some time ago, that other than the MCU Disney currently has no goal to work towards and is basically just freestyling
• give characters weight and meaning, instead of developing them and write them out of the plot, as soon as they are getting interesting. This is one of my main gripes with Obi-Wan

"We use cookies. Pay us or allow us to sell your data." I guess I'll find that info somewhere else then :)

Often my thoughts are so fucking fast, my inner voice really can't keep up. I try to sound them out in my head, but am aware of this, and my thoughts have already wandered on. So I really only monologue when I am thinking about a script/text or am analyzing/ problem-solving. Everything else feels like a mix of some short strings and feelings

This, especially if you switch between languages and forget to change the keyboard.

Linux Mint stand-in for Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows, for when you can't open system monitor:

Get an interactive top you like > When PC freezes go to tty, open top, works like a task manager

Andor. It feels so different and it is interesting because it builds the empire, but somehow it just felt too different. I watched a video essay about it recently, where the essayist made the point that he loves it for being more serious and darker in tone than most other Star Wars Media. I wonder if seen through this lens I'd enjoy it more during a rewatch.

I don't think you need to get yourself banned. Tell them you will make the switch, and when you'll make it. You don't need to explain yourself any further or make excuses.

No, I don't think headphones will changes the skull, unless you put them on a newborn. But I do wonder how much information could be lost, given how much of it is digitalized nowadays.

With tech it's about convenience imo. I am privacy-concious, trying to avoid services like google, but a game's EULA? scrolls to the bottom Accepted. Do Russians mine bitcoins on my machine? Is Unity surveilling me? Who knows.

Then of course these brands put a lot of effort into strengthening consumer loyalty. Make their stores a nice place to be, offer plans especially to minors, so they get used to their products and eco-systems early on. For example Google's ChromeOS laptops in schools. They are cheap and... well... are cheap.

But overall, I think consumers do not realize what they are buying because many buy impulsively, or simply don't know or care about the impact of their purchases. And to some degree, who can blame them? Who has the energy to sort through anything in the grocery store and determine which products are produced through slavery, animal cruelty, stealing the local population's water, aren't sourced locally etc. Because at that point, there's probably nothing left.

The moment you try to min max the economy will fall apart. Replicate new PC parts? Cool, but now intel/AMD/Nvidia will go bankrupt, no more development. So I guess you could min-max the economical revolution. Capitalism doesn't appear to make sense in a world with near endless access to anything.

Personally I'd get heaps of food and water

I hate that by now, I have found a way for capitalist to bill you anyways.

If you use a table saw, take it seriously.

I'd like to add: don't wear gloves, especially ones that are a little to big for your hands.

Ah, equipped to make it's own parking spot and resist tow trucks. The perfect city car 😍

I don't have the know how to talk about safety and privacy, but here are some caveats.

I think you have to use their client and can't add your adress to 3rd party clients like thunderbird. Their client is however nice to work with.

If you forgot your password, the only way to change it is by using a key that is given to you after account creation. Keep it safe! Check for spelling errors If you lost the note or it's not in you passwordmanager or whatever you use, your account is not recoverable. Their support can't help you reset your pw.

Other than that they make email encryption pretty easy with a checkbox right under the recipient in the email editor.

Another handy feature are the aliases. (Payed feature) You can set up some email adresses for certain purposes, and filter their traffic into different inboxes quite easily. If one of them.get's compromised, deactivate and move in. Your master adress is probably still usable.

What I do not like is the fact that paying customers get support first.

I think hybrid is the way to go. You won't connect with your peers online the way you do irl, and I it's healthy to leave home from time to time. I also work better in a dedicated office space versus at home.

But as a student in an IT related field: God do I hate the uni pcs. They. would. not. run. unity. once. because of some obscure bug with my user profile and I had to waste my lecturers and my time switching users, trying to install the right version every single lesson. For two semesters I could not parttake. On my own PC at home I could have fixed that within minutes because admin rights and decent internet. Heck, I even asked the IT department if I could have admin rights which they denied, quite understadably. Sorry this turned a bit into a rant.

But cutting commute time and getting up shortly before lecture sure is nice :3

Pretty much any variation of power saw. The closer your hands are to the moving saw, the worse. Hand saws are cool tho. Love my Ryoba

never realized the cheetah is wearing a collar. does anyone know what that could be? Do Biologists put trackers on felines, like they do with marine animals to track their movement/migration patterns?

Saws. The sound they're making shakes me to my core and having to help someone who almost amputated their finger enforced that fear further

Been there. I feel that stating your needs is often enough. Instead of explaining complicated and intimate thoughts/emotions tell the other person "I need some time for myself" or "I don't want to speak about this topic" etc. ... It strikes the balance between not making yourself vulnerable and setting boundaries.

Self check: maybe I feel this way because I became more happy with myself lately. Therefore: if it doesn't work for you, that's okay.

I just read lately that younger generations in germany drink less alcohol. I am not sure what the common reasons are, but I think the weed legalization made questioning the effects of alcohol more mainstream.

I feel like I am missing some context here
