It seems like every other poster here confusing your use of the word “production” and simply stating that “product” is an acceptable word to use lol

Wow I even own one!

Does mandolin have more than one meaning? I know it as type of lute instrument, but I can’t imagine someone cutting theirself on one.

They also reused Pyramid Head. Silent Hill 2 became so iconic in the series that they just brought things specific to James’s experience into other games. There’s been a lot of criticism of that, but also a lot of fans dont seem to mind. Even the original designer of Pyramid Head was disappointed that the character was reused in later games because he designed the character to appear as a manifestation in James’ mind specifically and so the final design was based on James himself. I personally still enjoy the later games myself, but after all of this was pointed out to me I can’t not see it when playing the games or watching the movies lol

I liked the movie when it came out and can still enjoy it today. I think the monsters are some of the creepiest in any horror movie. The janitor scene gives me nightmares. However, there was a lot of fan service that didn’t need to be included. Yes Pyramid Head is the most recognizable character in the series, but he really served no purpose being in the movie. Also, the design of the nurses being “sexy” doesn’t make sense. They were designed that way for James in the second game. That was how he saw them. I think they did a really good job for what they managed to pull off from that movie though. I hope they do well with the new one.

I downloaded telegram about a year ago when I first heard about it. There is a feature to find and talk to people in the same area as me. It was all just escorts with nudes as their profile pics. I’m honestly surprised Google and Apple allowed it on their stores.

Where i live 9/10 they dont even have a hitch installed.

I would argue they are worse! I had iPhones and a MacBook Pro for years. Switched to Android, Windows, and Linux. Apple is great for people who want a device that just works out of the box, but those devices can’t be tweaked to better fit your personal needs. Many features that have been present on personal devices for decades are blocked on Apple devices. They even make up terms like “side loading” so it sounds like you are doing something immoral. Downloading an application from whatever source of your choosing should be #1 feature of any device. As far as I know, you can only download apps from Apple’s own store now. All iPhone browsers are reskinned Safari. Apple refuses to adopt existing standards so that users feel inclusive when they see blue texts over green. The list feels endless…

It is only in the form of crypto with your name attached to it. Trump, Elon, and all the rest constantly hype it up on social media and make bank on it. Everyone in the world associates you with being another maga grifter.

Everyone who interacts with you immediately forgets who you are or why they are doing what you convince them to do as soon as they stop seeing and hearing you. They will continue to do as you instructed them, but they won’t know why. Once it’s done, they will continue life as though they’ve never met you unless you introduce yourself again.

I’m late to the party, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking someone to talk a bit about their self in an attempt to get to know them better. The context is very important however. If you and this person have been talking one on one for a bit already, maybe something like “I have enjoyed talking to you, can I ask you to tell me a bit about yourself so I can get to know you better?” Is an appropriate way to go about it. I’m not sure if the person you are talking about is someone you met in real life or on the internet.

As far as the internet goes, a/s/l was a very popular question to ask 20 years ago in chat rooms but probably wouldn’t go as well on modern social media. For that reason I don’t think straight up asking “can you describe yourself in a paragraph” would work very well either. Most people dont seem to use social media as a way to get to know the other users on a personal level. It almost feels like it’s against the point of ‘social’ media, but most interactions I’ve seen between users are brief and users go on their way after a few posts. Especially sites like Lemmy where we don’t provide personal information. On the other hand, Lemmy is very small and if you find someone with a shared interest in a niche community, i think its ok to reach out, but maybe try to just keep the conversation on that topic.

If you’re talking to someone in real life maybe try the previous suggestion. Or skip it all together and invite them to hang out somewhere. No better way to learn about a person than by spending time with them. And by doing that, there is less of a chance of making them uncomfortable by talking about their self.

I saved a few hundred dollars on textbooks with Z-Library. I’ve been impressed with their mobile app too!

Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.

I have never made that connection before but I think you’re 100% right!

My mom received a phishing email a few days ago from a @bellsouth.net email address. A company that hasn’t existed for about 20 years now.

I haven’t tried super hard, but season 5 of Tim and Eric’s Aweseome Show Great Job is the only one I can’t get. I found one torrent, but there are no seeders.

For your health!

Not sure if it’s still the case, but I recall my instance had a phrase hidden within the rules page that you had to find and include in your application.

There was a good point explaining how the invention of email made communication a more dreaded thing. When all you could do was send written letters, it could take weeks or months to communicate with someone on another continent. When email was invented everyone thought it would make life so much easier to get a near instant reply. But now some some people have to read and send a hundred emails a day. It’s the same with cell phones. A hundred years ago we mostly didn’t have phones. Then landlines became popular but you had to be home, also you had to memorize numbers or write them down. Now everyone has a cellphone where anyone can call you at anytime and any place. It could be work related, medical related, an old friend wanting to say hi, a tech illiterate family member asking for help, someone trying to sell you something, or any other kind of spam call. Phone anxiety is completely understandable.

Wafflestomping dates back to at least 18th century Belgium.
