This looks good, thank you. I will give it a try!

Ideally it would give public links too, such as Youtube

Another line that I found impactful was the medic:

Triage dies down when the dead stay dead. When we first set up and the injured started flooding in, bad things happened. Everyone wants to be a survivor, but when you actually see one fresh off the belt... a survivor is the last thing that I'd want to be

These phrases were stuck in my head today so I looked for the video

"Je suis un ananas"

"les ananas ne parlent pas"

I enjoyed it! I got spoiled from reading a news article, but only for the first half of the show.

It was a cool concept and it did some new things. The plot felt a bit like a YA novel though

Faster than light + Tokyo Vice

So a spaceship full of journalists are trying to escape a fleet of Yakuza so that they can report on a breaking story. Gameplay includes making/breaking ties with factions of Yakuza and reporting on smaller stories along the way. Featuring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe

I'd play it

I haven't popped into one of these threads before, so I have a few


I watched Mid90s (2018) and it was much better than I expected. I came into it knowing that it had a solid 90s soundtrack, which was true, but it went beyond that with an insightful coming of age story and an amazing cast. It felt very real, which was the intent with the creator

Mid90s (stylized as mid90s) is a 2018 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Jonah Hill, in his feature directorial debut, inspired by Hill's own childhood in the mid-1990s.


I also saw Hot Rod (2007) recently. I enjoyed it, and I can't describe it better than the Wikipedia description:

Hot Rod is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer (in his directorial debut) and written by Pam Brady. The film stars Andy Samberg as amateur accident-prone stuntman Rod Kimble, whose stepfather, Frank (Ian McShane), continuously mocks and disrespects him. When Frank becomes ill, Rod raises money for his heart operation by executing his largest stunt yet. The film also stars Jorma Taccone, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Isla Fisher and Bill Hader.


I also tried She Hate Me (2004), and I did not finish it. It was bad.

I actually haven't seen the one in the screenshots, is it this one?

I hear it as well, and it confused me at first

[-] reef@lemmy.ca 107 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The line is quippy, but it's silly when you look at the batman stories. Anything can be funny if you get reductionist with it

When the writers have her saving plants, they do it in a way that you root for her. Same with Mr. Freeze, those episodes and the movie is really touching, solely because of his motivation.

You don't root for batman to beat them up or flex his wealth on them, you want Batman to help them. You want them both to get happy endings.

The stories usually end with batman stopping the carnage, while also arresting whatever CEO was cutting down trees or doing experiments on Nora. In other stories, he funds social programs and advocates for reforms as Bruce Wayne.

Maybe there are other stories where he acts like a frat boy. I skip content that has shitty writing

I'm open to trying out things outside my requirements, so I'll look into some of these. Thank you!

I didn't know the metal socket types ones existed

The one you have looks decent, I'll keep that on my list of potential options.

The cheap one I had broke, so I'm looking to get a better one without paying for things I didn't need. Photography equipment gets expensive......

I'm open to any recommendations and this thread might help other people too.

Some things specific to:

  • being able to take photos on uneven surfaces
  • can accommodate thicker phones and cases
  • not spring loaded, because it's hard to adjust and to insert the phone
[-] reef@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I appreciate the recommendation! Weird I haven't tried this before, I like it :)

Edit: I like 'Ghost at Number One'

I'm thinking of watching 'Halt and Catch Fire', but I'm also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.
