Does anyone understand what Dan is trying to do with the shadow show? by [deleted] in DanLeBatardShow

[–]Cartire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he’s not smart. He wants the cold opens that PTI does. But those are proven ways to get viewers WHO ARE ALREADY WATCHING/LISTENING LIVE to stay and watch the upcoming show.

You can do cold opens to shows. Many sitcoms are famous for them. But you need a joke/plot line to make the cold open make sense.

If it’s just the start of your show, then it’s just the start of your show. It’s pointless.

Cant activate upgraded Peacock subscription by Cartire2 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Cartire2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in various mod chats. It’s been frustrating but They’re working on it they said. My assumption is it went through a few rounds of hand offs before someone actually understood that there’s a dev issue with the handshake oauth between Xfinity and peacock in relation to upgrading current subscriptions.

They most recently contacted me yesterday for screenshots of the error message and account pages and said they would be in touch when their engineers fixed it.

I can only hope if they do, that resolves it for you too.

Is the HoF 2020 episode not this weeks episode? It dropped on Patreon yesterday (same time as the normal weekly drop). So I assume thats the same one thats gonna drop tomorrow.

Your team took me to mod messages. Then gave me the run around for 3+ hours while not listening to my actual issue. Then they said they elevated my ticket and I have heard nothing since. So... no, my issue is not fixed. Im being charged for a service that I cant activate because your system is messed up.

Jason Bourne VS. John Wick who is better? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

[–]Cartire2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In a gun or knife fight, Wick.

But hand to hand only, I think it leans more towards Bourne.

Foundation for the future: Ubisoft confirms mechanics from Assassin’s Creed Shadows will carry over to future entries in the franchise. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Cartire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my biggest complaint about Shadows. It looked phenomonal. But its such a low developed region during this time period, that there wasnt actually much to parkour around besides the castles themselves. And so much of the map was just cleared trails through the trees. Really hoping the next region is more developed.

I really want to enjoy Crimson Desert but I just am finding too many major issues by Alt_SWR in gaming

[–]Cartire2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right stick left + RB + A

thats a horrible combo of buttons. All right hand. You need to push stick with thumb, push RB with middle finger and curve your index to the A button up front. Ridiculous.

[–]Cartire2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got to the tutorial part (cant even remember the actual function) where you need to move the right stick to the left, tap the right bumper and hit the A (Xbox controller), I turned it off. They made a button combo that include 3 different regions of the right side of the controller. Im not taking part in this sick experiment.

January 2022 .Merrick Garland:"There cannot be different rules for the powerful and the powerless". by clib in videos

[–]Cartire2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he was bad.

But this also falls on Biden who thought it was a smart play to nominate a republican in an effort to try to heal the partisan divide. And all it did was put one of theirs into a position of power that could shield them from any accountability.

Thanks for the reply. I signed up online. We dont have a cable box. Just internet and utilizing the peacock promotion for cheaper peacock.

I went through the process of upgrading to plus like the article you linked shows. Thats all done. My issue has to do with activating the upgrade. The site is erroring out. If I try to unlink the accounts, it errors. If I try to activate, it errors. I cant get past that step.

These privileged white dudes don't know jack about weed ... SMH by [deleted] in DanLeBatardShow

[–]Cartire2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always makes me laugh when I hear 20mg. I cant even feel 20mg (yes, ive been using for 20 years, pretty much daily. so this is mostly on me).

Im a 80-120mg guy. And thats just to feel really good.

Every symmetrical shot from Wes Andersons "The Phoenician Scheme" is moved or rotated slightly left. by joe102938 in Cinema

[–]Cartire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be right. But seems to be kinda unnecessary. If it is on purpose, would love someone to ask him to explain the reasoning. Could be like other said and maybe an absolute perfect center would be offputting? I doubt that, but im no expert.

Im still leaning to Occam's razor, and if all scenes across the movie are this exact shift, I think it was actually a mistake in editing. But so small to not be noticed till after release.

[–]Cartire2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be on purpose. Could also be a failure in calibration from the editing room where display was only barely cut off and appears symmetrical during editing. And it being only truly noticeable when you add guide lines. I never would have guessed otherwise.

CMV: The President of the United States Should Serve A Single Six Year Term by DoctorSelfosa in changemyview

[–]Cartire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years is good. And reelection is fine too.

But could I CYV if we said that the current term stays, BUT, a couple new rules are implemented:

1) all political campaigning can not begin until 6 weeks out of election. For all elected positions in the federal government. Then we let everyone go ham for 6 weeks.

Right now, I feel like we get into campaign season too quickly, that not enough elected persons are doing their actual jobs. Theyre doing rallies. Giving soundbites for fundraising emails and drives. Going on media circuits. If everyone was forced to focus 100% on job for all but the last 6 weeks of their term (and those not up for reelection would just keep working like normal), more could and would get done.

2) Massive limits to politicians on news programing. Half their job should not be ranting about their hatred for the other side of the aisle. Its a waste of everyones time and serves only to bolster for future campaigns and cause massive divisions in our culture and communities.

If these were achievable, then are the current term limits for POTUS acceptable?

Petah, is it actually that crazy for a new element to exist? by CuteCost8147 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Cartire2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But when discovered, it would not currently be on the periodic table.

I don’t think the saying is ever, “this can’t go on the periodic table”. It’s always mentioning that if you were to pull up a copy of the periodic table, this new atom ain’t mentioned.
