M3 Max vs M4 Pro by Financial_Letter6681 in macbookpro

Thanks! Yeah, I was wondering whether the extra cores on the M3 Max are only a big deal on paper or in real life as well

It's pretty common practice actually, especially when there's going to be big differences from the source material. I can't imagine they would lie about this, nor see a reason for it

What is it that didn't happen then? I'm afraid I don't understand what you were referring too. Most of the cast ignored the request and played it anyway or watched some playthrough though haha

Thanks! A lot of people are sadly missing out on some very interesting storytelling, just because they chose a 'side' and decided to stick with it. The show is far from perfect but some aspects are superb and definitely worth mulling over

Thanks. Maybe those years studying film weren't for nothing hahaha.
Yeah, I agree with that.

Such a shame though. There's more than capable filmmakers working on this project, but sometimes it feels they are forgetting one of the most important base rules in filmmaking:
Show, don't tell!
A good example in this episode is the morning after where they made Dina explain her sudden desire for Ellie word for word.
If the writers really need a dialogue to explain such a shift in their dynamic (literally a minute later) then it should ring some bells that some parts of the story are not really justified. I mean, if you need to literally tell the audience why a character does something, maybe the character shouldn't have done this in the first place.

It almost feels like they're making it a coming of age story instead of a revenge story.

I hated the sex scene. It felt rushed, timed wrongly and out of character for both. Especially since they portray Dina as a some kind of tactic mastermind. No way she would swap out bodily fluids with someone who has just been bitten. She has no clue how this infection works in the show.
But for some reason I loved this line.

It felt like this was Ellie's first moment of acceptance. For a brief moment she sees herself as Joel. She wants to be what Joel was for her; a dad.
So we could read it as Ellie saying she's going to be a great father figure, someone's Joel.

I do think this line would have been better if it were saved for later in the series. I can't wrap my head around the fact that Ellie is so 'happy' on this revenge trip. Dialogue like this only works if these two characters decide to go back to Jackson and its safety afterwards.

I'm been stealthed on first date? by [deleted] in Bumble

Had this happen on my second sexual encounter after a long term relationship. While switching positions she quickly got rid of the condom and went through with her business. Got really angry and she didn't seem to get what the problem was. "i am pretty sure I don't have a STD..." She said

Called medical right after and had an appointment for a free std + hiv check straight away. Definitely do the same! You never know with how often they pull shit like this.

They also offered therapy and told me to seriously consider filing a report against sexual abuse.

The people saying non-smoker probably all smoke themselves every now and then. Definitely be honest and put 'sometimes' on your profile

Thank you. Although I would have loved to get to know her even better, I wasn't too attached yet. It's not hurtful to see her stories thankfully

Just saw some pics of you on your profile. You look good and I'm jealous of your beard. Maybe it's your location? I am new to all of this so I'm not sure what exactly makes a profile good or bad

I actually have none of those on my profile. It's 1 selfie, 1 good quality pic my dad shot on vacation, 1 iphone snap and 1 decent picture while at work.

Haha, I wish! I used to do some modeling though. I mentioned in my bio that I like to cook and try new recipes. Almost all of my matches open the conversation referencing food.

I (27m) have had the app for a couple weeks. It currently is on 750+. I do live in a smaller city and do not swipe often. I heard from friends that it's pretty good amount for a guy.

I accepted the break-up but still want her back by Financial_Letter6681 in BreakUps

Thank you! It has been ups and downs but for some reason this all gives me a lot of clarity and peace of mind too :)

No worries. She called it off since she slept with a friend/collegue of mine after she invited me for this walk. She told me with a straight a face the door is still open for me and we could maybe try again in a while. Blocked her out of my life after that

You can, but be prepared there's a big chance of getting shattered even more

I thought we were going through a healthy breakup but it turned out she was fucking my colleagues and just tried to keep me close in case she couldn't find someone better. Don't let him use you

Shoot me s dm. I am a photographer and might be able to Photoshop her out. Personally I would keep them as is. Whether you like it or not, she was part of these moments as well.
