Definitely a fun moment.

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she's in, and it's a character I don't find funny at all.

Which moment in Dragnet?

I definitely don't have as much time as I'd like.

Where my fellow Spokane peeps?

It's quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don't hate it.

I'm surprised how many people in the comments have (A) seen this movie, and (B) liked it. I didn't care for it, although I do like the basic premise.

The timing of your comment is a kind of a funny coincidence for me, because over the past few days I've been editing the next episode of my podcast, which will come out on Tuesday, and in it I mention Time Trap a couple times. Maybe the film is having a moment?

I generally agree with @Dharkstare@mastodon.world that first playthroughs should be vanilla, but I have very little time to game, and Cyberpunk is huge. I'm not trying to accomplish anything, I just want to fuck around. So I'm currently playing my first playthrough of Cyberpunk with mods, and it's fantastic for goofing off.

With all that said, there are 2 mods I would suggest for Cyberpunk, even for an otherwise vanilla playthrough.

The first is No Intro Videos, which gets rid of the unskippable logos and health warnings that are displayed every time the game loads. It's one of my most appreciated QoL mods.

The other is Simple Flashlight. Perhaps a little controversial for a vanilla playthrough, but I stand by it. I actually don't use the flashlight very much, but every so often I end up somewhere that so dark, I can't find my way out of the room/building/wherever. It's during those infrequent times I'm grateful for a little extra light.

Bears?

I have a friend who hates grocery shopping, so they get their food delivered, but then constantly complains about nonsensical substitutions. They're not wrong that the substitutions don't make sense, but there's a really easy way to ensure you get exactly what you want...

I just listened to Jeffries on Jon Stewart’s podcast and it was all of the same old generalities.

Especially after Stewart's recent interview with her.

Not just the president, but any elected official.

In my experience, Hinge is still the best, but all of the apps have the same fundamental flaw. Imagine every person in your area who is single is in one big room and you line up to meet each other one at a time. That's basically how they work. Want to skip meeting people with different political or religious beliefs? No problem! Just pay up (and by the way, it's not cheap). Also, the filters are critically limited and largely superficial. It's a slog no matter what.

From what I've heard, OkCupid used to work properly as a way to find people who were actually a good match for you, but Match group bought them and stripped all the tools that made it useful. I actually recently saw a great comment about exactly that.

Almost Plausible is a show where three friends take ordinary objects (for example, a paperclip, a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush) and create movie plots based on those objects.

Full disclaimer: This is my podcast.

You could call them The Silent Generation.

No, wait...

In my last house, the previous owners left a folder with information about various known quirks, which came in handy. They also left manuals for things like the stove and fireplace, as well as contact info for contractors they had used over the years. It ended up being a sort of owner's manual for the house that we really appreciated. We did the same when we moved out.

My current house... There's an under-cabinet CD player/radio in the kitchen that I almost never use, and the previous owners left the soundtrack to the Trolls movie in it, so I guess there's that?

Seriously. I'm in my 40s and this is the first time I've ever had any sense of scale for red blood cells. Very cool!

Hey, another Spokane user on Lemmy! There are may be dozens of us!

Washington would fit right in. Western Washington is already a lot like British Columbia, and Eastern Washington is already a lot like Alberta.
