@Slug It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Slither but I remember really liking it. I should watch that again.

I sleep through the loudest thunderstorms so I wonder if I would sleep through gunfire as well

Wish he would have done everyone a favor and started with the suicide.

It would be nice if they would. I’ve been on an every two year thing with CoD for a while now. I need that year break between each one.

Well time to cancel another one I guess. tv+ is one of those services we rarely use, but pay for it because it’s so cheap. Not anymore.

So many lives changed and ruined all because some piece of shit has access to firearms. I don’t even have words for attacks like these anymore. Just hope none of us ever end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hopefully it will pass quickly!

@Fizzzzle Do you still have the cyst in your armpit? I had a Dr diagnose a small lump in my armpit when I was around 15 years old. Never changed or was a problem until I was in my early 30’s. Woke up one morning and i thought something was lodged under my arm or something in the bed. I felt it and the cyst had decided to go nuclear and suddenly felt like a golf ball. Long story short I got it removed but was absolutely grossed out for weeks with “wound care”. I remember after the procedure the nurse was like “ok let’s go over how to pack the wound and change the dressing”. What…? “Yeah here’s how you’re going to pack gauze into the hole everyday as it’s healing so you don’t end up with a dead space in your armpit”. I didn’t think I would ever be able to look inside an area of my armpit before….not a fan.

@stepee I talk on it daily for work. I legit had people compliment how good I sounded on my old phone which was a Pixel 2 XL. Coming to Apple I’m just shocked if this is what they find acceptable. I’ve taken the case off which didn’t help. Made sure all the speaker ports/holes are gunk free. Searching online there was mention of an accessibility setting, under audio/video there was something about call mic isolation but the option is no longer there.

The iPhone 13 Pro was my first iPhone. Android all before that. My wife was all iPhone. I specifically remember when she got the 12 Pro I thought the call quality was atrocious. All this background noise being picked up on her end. She finally talked me into going Apple and I got the 13 pro. Never knew how bad i sounded talking to people until multiple people pointed it out. Like any noise in close proximity just seems to be amplified into the phone call. I was at a playground with my kids recently and my dad could make out kids screaming who were ridiculously far away (not exaggerating-like 75-100ft away at least). Said it sounded like they were right beside me screaming at the phone .A few months ago my wife’s phone died so she got the 14 Pro, surprise surprise still sounds bad. To be clear I’m talking phone only, no speakerphone and no Bluetooth headsets. Is this what everybody deals with when you have an iPhone?

@ort Well said. These companies are so deep in bed with China. There’s no way Apple lets one guy with a tv show get in the way of that relationship.

@Remarkableriots Take comfort in the good memories and feelings you have for your friend. There is one person in particular that I think about occasionally that I grew up with. He died at work suddenly one day from a brain aneurysm. I like to think back to the couple sleepovers we had staying up all night playing video games. Seeing movies and doing odd jobs together to make money. Just makes me feel good.

Addiction and especially the accidental overdoses can have such a sad rippling effect. Around 2015 there was a guy in our circle who died from a fentanyl overdose, alone while his wife was at work, kid was in daycare. They came home to that. The guy who died had a younger brother that I knew in high school. The brother committed suicide in 2020 and left behind a wife and 2 young daughters. I know losing his brother had to have played a part because they were so close. Just sad being in the wrong headspace or making the wrong choice in a moment can have such devastating effects.

I have this vivid memory of riding in a hot air balloon on a fall day as a kid. Brought it up to my parents and I said “I definitely never rode in a hot air balloon right?” They said definitely not, but we did go somewhere when I was around 11 or 12 years old and watched hot air balloons take off. I literally have no memory of doing that or seeing them but I have this fake memory of fucking flying in one.

The last few months I started paying for YouTube premium. When I have nothing else to do and I turn the tv on, I find myself going to that the most. It’s become a fast way to get major news headlines through the day along with endless other content to keep me busy.

I’m dieing to cancel Netflix but can’t because of the family. Most of their content does nothing for me, my wife seems to eat up everything they put out, and my kids just rewatch the same stuff over and over.

I feel like Ticketmaster doesn’t really need to hide their shitty ticket prices anymore. Even with inflation and everyone complaining about ticket prices, they all seem to sell out no problem. It’s a needed change for sure though. This is also desperately needed for things like Airbnb. I’ve seen hosts try to charge insane fees.

Removing Player-to-Player Trading in December WWW.ROCKETLEAGUE.COM Player-to-Player Trading will be removed later this year. Find out what that means for Rocket League players. Not sure if anyone here still plays Rocket League or cares about trading at all. For me it was a huge part of the game. I loved designing a new car with a theme and going on the hunt, finding people to trade with. I had no problem buying the credits in game and buying what I wanted from other players. Now Psyonix/Epic want to be greedy and limit you to buying the few overpriced items in the item shop daily. December 5th at 4pm PST RIP Rocket League trading. The reason: “We’re making this change to align with Epic’s overall approach to game cosmetics and item shop policies, where items aren’t tradable, transferrable, or sellable. This opens up future plans for some Rocket League vehicles to come to other Epic games over time, supporting cross-game ownership. Right….. so you want more money. Some players literally turned into vendors over the years. Collecting thousands of in game items to sell through trading. After December 5th it’s just done, turned off. Big companies sucks lately. Raising the prices on everything while also laying people off. Screw you Epic.

@nublood I blacked out mine with the dark plates 2.0 and matte black sticker down the middle. Love it. I’ve gotten so used to the black color I sometimes forget they are originally bright white.

I like it.

I never liked the look of the ps5. The new digital one does look sleek. Sure didn’t help the disc drive though. Really bulging out the side now.

I saw it in theater with my son when it was out. When it hit Disney+ he had barely any memory of it.

Forgot that one! Good catch.

I feel like DC superhero movies carry extra baggage and drama with them. I can’t really think back and remember much going on with the Marvel movies. With DC i immediately remember a few things. Like the reshoots and Henry Cavill mustache drama with Justice League. The Ezra Miller stuff with The Flash. Didnt something happen with The Rock saying something about Black Adam at release? Now we got even more with Aquaman 2.
