  1. People disgust me. Lose their fucking minds over a couple singers. Most of them probably just wanted to hold their phones up and take "look at me" pictures... all while other people are getting crushed to death.
  2. Sad story. It takes a lot of trust to put a $30k custom wheelchair into the hands of an airline. Its in no way her fault and the airline should have paid up right away. But years ago we couldn't even fly to Florida without the airline losing our luggage. They delivered it to our hotel 3 days later. And most planes I've been on wouldn't come close to being able to fit a wheelchair through the doors and into the aisle. People with bad medical conditions like her almost need custom planes for that video to work.
  3. Either chicken with broccoli or chicken with mixed vegetables. I love my crispy veggies. I'll eat general tso or sesame chicken sometimes but I'm usually let down because of how fatty and gross the meat can be. Throw in a shrimp egg roll with the spicy mustard and I'm good to go.
  4. Does anyone here know where these surveys come from or how you can take them? When I see a headline like "1 in 6 Americans believe this", I'm always wondering how many people get involved in the survey, where they are being given, etc...
  5. Any luck finding it? Maybe someone will be nice and return it to you.
  6. I don't keep up with this stuff so when I read the headline and saw the pics, it kind of made me feel like I'm in a different time line.
  7. When I watched the trailer I was getting kind of a Star Trek/Star Wars vibe. I bet it will be good.
  8. I played the trial for about an hour and a half. It was way too much tutorial fluff that I lost interest. Kind of wished I could fast forward the game about 3 hours in to see what it was really all about. After a while I thought the game looked more exciting than it actually played.
  9. I'm still using my Pixel 2 XL. They discontinued updates for it though so I won't see this bad android 12. I use the calculator on it a lot though and they definitely changed the look to a more bubbly annoying look. Phone still works great though. Don't think I'll be upgrading for a while.
  10. I only ever played the demo of KoA so many years ago. I remember liking it, but I never got around to the full game. I also want to try that walking dead game but not excited about having to hook up the psvr all over again.
  11. A lot of businesses in my area have started adding the extra incentive of a sign on bonus. Warehouse jobs offering a few thousand, even the McDonald's by me is offering a couple hundred. I could easily see someone taking a job and then immediately ghosting when they see they can get a bigger bonus somewhere else instead.
  12. I stopped the trailer half way through. Looks pretty good!
  13. Mark Wahlberg looks like he should be playing Nathan Drake to me. I don't hate Tom Holland, he was pretty believable as Spiderman. But I would have been happier with just about anyone else for the role of Drake if they are going with a younger actor.
  14. @atom631 I'll definitely try out your suggestions. I thought aiming felt pretty slow but never bothered to adjust the settings. I do appreciate what the game is going for because it's definitely not another brainless shooter. The 2nd game I played, not knowing what to do, I kind of just strolled into enemy territory and thought huh I'll just crouch down here by this burning truck real quick, when suddenly a group of 4 enemies just ran by not seeing me. They all crouch down and start shooting toward my team advancing. Took all 4 of them out, then another 3 people came and I killed them too. I ran back to my teammates feeling like I just cheated somehow haha. Like you said, situational awareness is huge.
  15. I keep trying it on PS5 but in the end I'm not having much fun. I'm sure it's because of the necessary communication that you mentioned. I haven't heard anyone talking when I played. I find some of the menus to be cluttered/confusing on a controller. One time after 15 or so minutes of trying to advance into enemy territory, me and a bunch of people are crawling through an area avoiding enemy fire and suddenly a bunch of bombs went off on top of us. Was it an artillery strike or planes bombing us? I haven't played enough to know, but it felt cheap as hell after working so hard to make progress. I feel like I'd have more control with a mouse and keyboard. Sometimes you spawn and you are instantly getting shot at, and you don't have amy time to figure out where it's coming from. I'll keep dipping in, maybe check out the tutorials more, but it may be a little too hardcore of a living room/couch shooter for me.
  16. In regard to the question in the thread title, no, I don't think this was the fix we all hoped for. I'm in no way mad by the results of what the shot achieved, especially being developed and deployed so quickly. But I can put myself in other people's shoes and understand the hesitancy. The term "vaccine" in my head growing up meant you got a few shots and you didn't get the illness that it protected against. The Covid vaccine was definitely presented as "get this shot and we can all get back to normal". Did they know the efficacy would wane after a few months? That info definitely wasn't out there at the start. I mean I understand if they didn't know. This shit is all new. But now it gives that whole other crowd of people the ammo they need to feel like they don't need the shot, "since it doesn't work". Then you have the whole crowd of people who have had Covid and are unsure if they should still get the vaccine. The CDC says yes, but within a minute or two of googling I end up here: https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/blog/covid-19-vaccine-after-having-covid-19 COVID-19 vaccination may not be needed after a moderate or severe COVID-19 infection "If you’ve had a moderate or severe case of COVID-19 and are not vaccinated for COVID-19, current data tells us that you may have strong and durable enough immunity to protect you from reinfection without getting a COVID-19 vaccine." Another thing I've heard is maybe people would only need one Covid shot if they've just recovered from Covid. The natural immunity mixed with the shot immunity could be better protection. Just too many uncertainties for the millions of stubborn people out there. I got my 2nd shot in July. I'm not sure if I'm going to rush out and get a booster in a few months. Things might be more different than anyways. Just taking it one month at a time.
  17. Just finished watching it. Definitly agree with what @johnnysaid but it was still a fun ride. The end left me with a lot of questions until I looked it up and there is still a movie after this (Halloween Ends). So we'll have to wait until next year to see how it wraps up.
  18. Thanks for mentioning this! I have Peacock but haven't used it lately and had no idea.
