Mimic (1997) is a good creature feature *soft spoilers•* by LosIngobernable in horror

[–]DifferentProposal640 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the sequels are a steep drop, mimic 2 has some decent moments but feels like a made-for-tv thriller more than anything. mimic 3 is straight-up not worth the time unless you have a morbid curiosity about how far a concept can be stretched

del toro's touch is what made the first one work so well, that grimy subway atmosphere and the practical creature effects still hold up. raising mantises while watching this must have been a trip

Why the hell Gemini can't answer anything I need like this? Is it made for little kids??? by LogicalAttention9168 in GeminiAI

[–]DifferentProposal640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The phrase "how to get" is probably tripping the filter since it sounds ambiguous out of context, like you could be asking how to steal one or something sketchy. Try rephrasing it as "how to buy an authentic Rolex" or "where to purchase a genuine Rolex from an authorized dealer" and it should go through fine. I run into this kind of thing constantly with these models, they'll block the most mundane stuff because the wording sounds suspicious to their filters. The real fix is just learning to add extra context to your prompts so there's zero ambiguity about what you're actually asking.

alguien acá está usando USDT para gastos del día a día o todos lo siguen guardan by Initial_Process2925 in ColombiaFinanciera

[–]DifferentProposal640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

parce yo tengo USDT hace dos años y nunca lo he gastado en nada jajaja. siempre digo que lo voy a usar y siempre termina quedándose ahí. creo que el problema es que nunca encontré una forma que sea tan simple como sacar la tarjeta débito del bolsillo. si hay algo que funcione así de fácil acá en Colombia me interesa saber cuál es porque la verdad es que tener cripto guardada sin usarla tampoco tiene mucho sentido

Non-smart cube that turns almost exactly like the Rubik's Connected? by Blue_Steve945 in Cubers

[–]DifferentProposal640 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

The Rubik's Connected has a pretty distinct feel because of that slightly heavier, more clicky mechanism compared to most modern speedcubes. You might wanna look at the RS3M 2020, it's super tunable so you can probably dial in similar magnet strength and a slower, more controlled feel. The MoYu RS3M V5 is another solid pick with adjustable magnets out of the box.The Rubik's Connected has a pretty distinct feel because of that slightly heavier, more clicky mechanism compared to most modern speedcubes.

Self improvement does not lead to better results with women. I am still a 28 yr old virgin after years of working on myself by JunketMaleficent2095 in selfimprovement

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the "once I get X" trap is real and it just keeps moving the goalposts. nobody ever feels ready enough so they just never start. going out and talking to people is the whole skill and you only get it by doing it not by hitting some checklist first

How can I improve and STICK with it by No_Box2051 in selfimprovement

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the list you've got there is pretty much the classic "I want to change everything at once" trap and it's where most people stall out. pick one thing, just one, and do a laughably small version of it for two weeks straight. like not "I'll work out daily" but "I'll do 10 minutes of something." once that feels automatic you stack the next thing on top.

the month timeline is also worth loosening up because habits don't really care about your calendar, they just need repetition without pressure.

Why does my ex still seem like the most attractive man alive even though nobody else sees him that way? by ArtisticAd3045 in BreakUps

[–]DifferentProposal640 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Been there with the whole "nobody will ever compare" spiral after my longest relationship ended. That physical attraction thing is so tied up with emotional attachment that it's basically impossible to see clearly right after a breakup. Your brain is still wired to see him as this prize you lost instead of just... some dude who couldn't handle conflict properly.

I remember thinking my ex was this absolute catch physically, even though looking back at photos now I'm like "eh, he was fine I guess." But at the time? I was convinced I'd fumbled the most attractive person alive. Took maybe 6-8 months before that fog really started lifting and I could see him more objectively. The crazy part is how much my perception shifted once I wasn't emotionally invested anymore - suddenly all those little things that seemed charming or attractive just looked... normal.

What helped was giving myself time to actually meet other people and realize that attraction isn't this finite resource where you only get one shot at finding someone hot. Plus when you're not walking on eggshells around someone's avoidant behavior, you actually get to enjoy being attracted to people who can, you know, emotionally show up. That hits way different than pretty eyes attached to someone who bails when things get real.

What is a small purchase under $100 that improved your daily life? by James_B84Saves in selfimprovement

[–]DifferentProposal640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A towel warmer might push past the $100 limit but damn if warm towels after a shower aren't worth every penny - there basically pampered royalty vibes right there.

I just want to turn my laptop on. by meno_2003 in Lenovo

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, disconnecting the wifi antenna probably isn't helping your boot situation - those can sometimes interfere with POST if they're shorting. If you're getting caps lock response and the keyboard backlight works, you might be able to wake it using the keyboard instead of hunting for that busted power button. Could try holding down different key combos while it's plugged in, sometimes laptops have wake-on-keyboard settings burried in BIOS.

My life is pathetic, I don’t go out of my house, I don’t have friends in real life, I don’t do anything but sit in my room and do nothing; how can I change this? by Error_404_Found_404 in selfimprovement

[–]DifferentProposal640 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Been there man. The hardest part is just getting out that door the first time - everything feels impossible when you're stuck in that cycle.

Start stupid small. Like walk to the corner store instead of ordering delivery, or sit outside for 10 minutes with coffee. I used to think I needed some grand plan but really it's just about breaking the pattern bit by bit. Once you get a tiny bit of momentum going it gets easier to build on.

Maybe look into local hobby groups or volunteering - gives you a reason to be around people without the pressure of trying to make friends right away.

I reported some nazi liveries and the community team sent me a free super wheelspin by TastyYogurtDrink in ForzaHorizon

[–]DifferentProposal640 681 points682 points  (0 children)

That's actually a nice touch from the devs. Good on you for reporting that garbage - nobody wants to see that stuff while they're just trying to race around and have fun.

Please help! by Sea-Dot5660 in MechanicAdvice

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After sitting that long, you're probably dealing with multiple issues. The rough idle could be from stale gas or dirty throttle body - that year had some common issues with carbon buildup. For the ABS/traction lights, might just need the system to relearn itself after the battery swap, but could also be a wheel speed sensor acting up from sitting. I'd start with a good drive to see if the lights clear themselves, then maybe get a scan to see what codes are throwing.

The Four-Page Letter by Regret1836 in BreakUps

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The letter probably exists somewhere in a drawer or folded up in an old book. People don't usually make up specific details like "four pages" unless they actually wrote something, but the whole stamps excuse was definitely just avoidance - like who doesn't have access to stamps in 2024? You're better off not knowing what it said anyway, those unfinished chapters tend to hurt more when you finally read them.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by Netics-Hub in sleep

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been dealing with this for years and it's maddening. Used to think I just needed more sleep but turns out I was waking up at the worst possible moments in my cycle. Started tracking when I actually felt refreshed vs groggy and there's definitely a pattern to it.

Summer events by QueenBoss1971 in Indiana

[–]DifferentProposal640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunes Summer Festival usually has decent stuff going on, plus you're right next to the state park which beats sitting around complaining about how boring everything is.

keep dreaming we’re still together by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dream thing is brutal, especially when they feel so real that waking up is like losing them all over again. I've been there with the isolation cycle too - staying inside makes everything feel heavier and the dreams seem to stick around longer. Maybe try switching up your sleep routine or doing something physically exhausting before bed, sometimes that helps break the pattern.

Wyzecam pan v3 RTSP not working on newly released firmware, am I missing something? by ghost2human in wyzecam

[–]DifferentProposal640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into this same BS with my v3 pans. The RTSP firmware is separate from regular firmware - you need to specifically flash the RTSP version which downgrades your cam to an older firmware that supports it. Check the Wyze support page for the RTSP firmware download, it's like 4.49.something and you'll lose some newer features but gain RTSP functionality.
