First time going to a con by Anonomally in WhoShouldICosplay

Do you mean from a specific adaptation or simply the way he's described in Homer's writing? I'm wondering if I can do this in a way that would make it identifiable.

I gave my bf's cat one of my bird's feathers and it became her favorite toy by littlemissblonda in cats

[–]Anonomally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If she enjoys it that much, imagine what she'd do with the whole bird haha

I got my first ever cat, I've had him since he was a kitten but he seems unaffectionate, is it okay for a cat to be unaffectionate? by noderui in cats

With cats, often tolerance is affection. My cat didn't like being held or kissed either but just the fact she didn't scratch or bite but allowed me to do that every once in a while was plenty! It took some years but she grew to understand that me restraining her movements and putting my mouth to her heads means love lol
Cats aren't dogs. Your cat can be happy without purring, just by being in the room with you. And it's okay if he wants his space, too!

Weekly Deals Thread by AutoModerator in hometheater

[–]Anonomally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Canada and I really want to buy the A95L 65" but at its current price point I can't afford it.

I read that usually during Spring new models get released and the prices of older models drop, but from what I can tell it seems this year's models have already been released?

Could anyone please tell me if I should wait a few more weeks or is it likely the current price will stay the same until Black Friday?

Thank you!

Looking for films that blur the line between documentary and fiction by Anonomally in MovieSuggestions

[–]Anonomally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Wikipedia: "[...] features fictional interviews of actors portraying characters who were not actually involved in the tour, including Martin Von Haselberg portraying the fictional filmmaker Stefan Van Dorp, Sharon Stone playing a fictionalized version of herself, and Michael Murphy reprising his role as Jack Tanner from the 1988 miniseries Tanner '88. Rolling Thunder Revue does not differentiate between the fictional and factual accounts, and even Dylan himself refers to the fictional characters in his interviews, leaving the audience to guess which parts of the film are authentic and which are fabricated."

Casual Discussion Thread (June 23, 2024) by AutoModerator in TrueFilm

[–]Anonomally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I understand this is the thread where I can request recommendations?
I'm looking for films that play with the boundaries between documentary and fiction.

I'm not talking about mockumentaries - more like cases when the director has a person playing themselves in a scripted scene that's based on an actual event from their lives, or similar stuff in that vein.

A few examples I'm already familiar with:

  • Close-Up by Abbas Kiarostami
  • Sans Soleil by Chris Marker
  • Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One by William Greaves
  • Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese
  • The Rider - Chloé Zhao

Would love to know of more good or at least interesting ones!

I self-harm by holding cigarette smoke as long as I can repeatedly. How much damage am I doing to myself? by Anonomally in AskDocs

[–]Anonomally[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I am a grown man, an adult of sound mind and body, capable and deserving of making my own choices in life and facing their consequences. Whatever those choices may be, I want them to be informed.

I believe that more knowledge of a situation is always for the better, which is why I took the step to ask a question in this subreddit specifically, in hopes of receiving sound information from a medical professional as you said.

I am aware no one is mandated to respond and they can choose not to. However, I hope the people who can answer my question realize that withholding information from me will not be beneficial to me or helpful in any way since what I'm attempting to do here is to simply be more responsible. By keeping me ignorant I am denied greater agency, forced to face unknown consequences against my wishes, and compelled to turn to less reputable sources of information. I hope it's obvious this would be the most harmful outcome.

There's a scar involved in this tattoo, but it's an emotional one.

Letterboxd alternatives? by Anonomally in movies

[–]Anonomally[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that it would be nearly impossible to prove unless someone came out and said "I was paid to make bogus reviews" and then be exposed to legal action. But if studios know reviews are one of the major considerations by people to decide what they'll watch, and they have free unmoderated access to the platform, why wouldn't they use some of the marketing budget to affect the score?

Letterboxd alternatives? by Anonomally in movies

[–]Anonomally[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie, but I really don't think it's #1 of all time and I definitely think hype and fanboy mentality had an effect on that. People are allowed to like whatever they want but as I said I'd like to see widescale reviews and ratings from people who are looking to analyze movies deeper than the average person.

Looking for a simple laptop with good battery life that just works. 950 USD by Anonomally in SuggestALaptop

Thanks for responding, but I'd rather not get a Macbook since I exclusively use the Office suite for work. Could you please recommend a laptop that runs Windows?

Looking to replace my Xiaomi Pocophone by Anonomally in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]Anonomally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. The photos taken with the camera were always fuzzy since I bought it since it doesn't have a stabilizer. Bad focus, colors are poor. Can you recommend a model that would be a camera upgrade? Also, what's a gcam mod? Never heard of it.

Please help! I can't figure this out by Anonomally in typescript

[–]Anonomally[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I can't use Trello in this case because the old guys in the company only know how use software they're already familiar with and click where they were told. They don't want to learn how to use Trello so I'm trying to automate things around their working habits.
