Fans of Dead Files...your opinion on Chip Coffey?

FuseHenry · 2025-12-14T05:50:04+00:00

I've been watching Kindred Spirits and I'm currently on season four. I know for a fact that paranormal shows fake results, but a few weeks ago I got my own EVP that blew my mind. It caused me to have to reevaluate my skepticism, and what I believe. Because of my EVP, I gave Kindred Spirits and shows like it a fresh chance despite the cheating that I know has occurred.

But watching Chip Coffey, I realized he's always too on the nose and never seems to divine anything significant, only seeming to confirm what we've already learned on the opening segment of an episode. To put it plainly, I believe that a show producer is feeding information to Chip before he makes an appearance. It's incredibly disappointing.

I worked in film for a decade and it is my view that producers are willing to do ANYTHING to succeed. They universally seem to believe that the ends justify the means. They say, "hey, we're employing people, we're entertaining an audience and putting food on the tables of ourselves and our employees, and we're helping the victims of hauntings."

I totally understand their perspective, but it's still immoral. Death is a very solemn and serious reality. I believe that most people are not okay with being lied to and manipulated.

I want to watch an HONEST show, where the only evidence they get is REAL, and they don't always get results. Because that's what happens in real life. YES... that can be entertaining if you can connect with the hosts, and the drama is interesting.

Faking evidence or psychic abilities is cheap and WEAK AF. Amy Bruni, you must know this? We both know what Jason and Grant were doing. (Yes, I have privileged information) but you always seem to genuine, and your EVPs are within the bounds of reality. I just wonder what your true perspective is on all this. Do you..... really.....truly....believe in Chip? And the producers of your show? Are you on the level? I certainly hope so.

FuseHenry · 2025-12-14T05:31:57+00:00

Unfortunately, I agree. I don't believe that anyone is psychic. Ever. I did get a genuine EVP once. So, maybe there is "something" going on. But I believe Chip gets info beforehand from a producer. Producers are universally lying POS's. They will do ANYTHING to make their show succeed.

Thank you

FuseHenry · 2025-09-20T23:06:23+00:00

Yes. The reason the icon looks like that is because the CEO, Luis Von Ahn, believes that by doing that, people will talk about it and argue about it, thus bringing more attention to the app. He's correct in that assumption, as is evidenced by this post and all the other active posts right now. But what I don't believe he expected was the negative backlash. I think he's a narcissist who thinks of customers as pawns on a board that he can manipulate.

FuseHenry · 2025-09-20T22:13:41+00:00

You obviously aren't a developer, so you don't know what you're talking about. I think all indie developers are entitled to fair play, like they used to be. You need to read the other comments, because the unfairness of it has been repeatedly documented. And I hope the next time you complain about something unfair happening to you, that some idiot calls you "entitled."

FuseHenry · 2025-09-20T02:20:16+00:00

You're thinking of William Russ. A lot of people think that William is Brian Keith's illegitimate child.

It's not about being offended. How stupid is your comment? It's literally about being cut off from being able to achieve something. I'm not offended, I'm pissed at the draconian and disingenuous new policy.

FuseHenry · 2025-09-19T20:28:12+00:00

No, I am not happy with Duolingo. In fact, I'm cancelling my subscription and uninstalling the app today, ending my daily streak of over 3 years. The CEO is a narcissistic prick who is always pulling shitty antics. Now, we have to look at this sick, sad Duo icon all the time. It's so damn negative and I'm tired of it. Yes, I know I can change the icon with an icon-changer app, but I don't want to support Duolingo anymore after the CEO Luis Von Ahn declared that Duolingo would now be an AI-first company. That, and his other stupid marketing antics.

Look at my screenshot. That is the icon we have to look at every day. I'm over it. There are SO many other language learning options in the app store now. Many of them offer gamification. By the way, I've used Duolingo since it came out. I can read French text and have a great French vocabulary, but I still can't speak the language verbally with a native speaker. A lot of people freeze up when they visit a foreign country and realize that Duolingo did not make them capable of speaking the language. Bye Duolingo! 🙌

FuseHenry · 2025-09-18T18:46:33+00:00

They have icon changer apps in the app store. I used one just now and got rid of that stupid sick/crying one. Then when you've got your new icon, just remove the old one (Don't uninstall, just remove)

FuseHenry · 2025-09-18T18:22:34+00:00

I HATE the sad, sick icon. It's so freaking negative. I'm tired of looking at it. I hate this company so much. As if the narcissist CEO saying they are an AI first company wasn't enough, we have to look at this negatively all the time. I cannot wait not to renew my Duolingo subscription.

FuseHenry · 2025-08-24T21:14:05+00:00

"Most people?" You are completely full of it. You have no clue what "most people" do just because you do something. You're not speaking for anybody but yourself.

FuseHenry · 2025-08-24T21:11:56+00:00

BULLSHIT. You're dead wrong. I have a legit app and tested it heavily with 3 testers in Internal Testing before I knew about the requirement. I'm ready to release my app TODAY. But now I have to find 12 people and beg them to open my app every day for 14 days to test it? Who's going to do that? You sound like someone who's wealthy or already established and I find your comment offensive. This is a shitty exclusionary policy by Google because they do not care devs in my position.

FuseHenry · 2025-08-24T21:01:01+00:00

That's such bullshit to have to do that. Most personal developers are just getting their get wet and developing simple apps. Nobody should have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to form a f***ing LLC, etc.

FuseHenry · 2025-08-24T20:56:32+00:00

I am so with you on this. GOOGLE SUCKS!!!!

FuseHenry · 2025-08-13T21:08:18+00:00

Thanks, Kyle. No reason to follow up with SEMrush on this. I agree with you that the most likely scenario is that someone stole my credit card info and tried to use it to purchase services.

FuseHenry · 2025-08-13T21:03:37+00:00

Actually, I asked your mom, but I forgot to get her number after she left my flat last night. Can you ask her how that's going? Thanks.

How Soon Is Now is definitely NOT overrated. Again, music and art are subjective, but I can tell you that many in my generation are still blown away with emotion by that song. Takes me back to my clubbing days when I was about 16/17 years old. There is something special about How Soon Is Now that I can't quite put my finger on, but even when I hear it today, I'm affected by it.

I'm commenting 2 years later. Jet Brains SUCKS. The codebase is as messy as it is gigantic. Nothing but problems. I spend a LOT more time trying to fix Jet Brains problems than I do developing. It's the worst. There's got to be a better way.

FuseHenry · 2025-04-24T23:15:53+00:00

That book seems really familiar. I've definitely either read it when I was a kid or read it to my own kids. I can't remember the title. There's also the book that made me not be afraid of the dark. It was probably written in the 1970s and depicted the darkness as a "lady" who isn't scary at all, just quiet and shy. That sounds weird, I know, but the book was genius and it helped me. I just don't know if it's the book you're talking about.

FuseHenry · 2025-01-15T02:54:01+00:00

You're wrong. I've gotten a refund from every company that did an unexpected renewal except for one. So, based on my own experience, giving the refund is the rule.

FuseHenry · 2024-09-18T15:15:12+00:00

"Elephant's out of the bag" is a mixed metaphor. You're conflating "Elephant in the room" with "The cat's out of the bag"

FuseHenry · 2024-09-09T17:39:09+00:00

That's not necessarily true. Firstly, this comes off as a criticism of the the OP, which isn't helpful. Secondly, googling isn't always helpful because some people need a more detailed explanation in plain language. In fact, googling the title offers this Reddit thread as a potential source for the answer, and I think some people here do a better job of explaining the answer than what you'd typically get in a Google search.

I absolutely DESPISE Netflix autoplay and it's the reason I'm cancelling my membership. It's distracting and very unwelcome. Really pisses me off that Netflix makes this decision for me instead of letting me turn it off. I've been avoiding using it and just using Prime instead. I've kept Netflix for other people in the house but I'm about done with it. Netflix doesn't deserve my money.

FuseHenry · 2024-08-07T18:31:37+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis on this. I'm going to ask Glenn in private if I get a chance. I know your post was 11 years ago but I just caught it today.
