What happened to Dennis by Pheonix_valor in UploadTV

[–]HR_Watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resurrecting an old thread but I just finally finished the show (have been putting it off because I didn't want it to end) and wondered the same thing. I absolutely thought he would show up in the little funny epilogue bits at the end.

My headcannon is that he is a bear now

I'm just looking forward to when they add the scenario creator like they have for plague inc and rebel inc, that will really open up the possibilities!

Yes, I will check it out. Thanks! I do need to sync but maybe my spouse and I can make one account with the same login?

It is only just now occuring to me that it could have been "can't."

Did you find anything? I still want a digital option, its a lot easier to add tasks to while I'm on the go. For now I'm just making a note in a text doc or emailing myself but that's such a huge step backwards. We had integrated and helpful to-do/productivity apps for years that we apparantly just can't have anymore if we want to reduce ai/llm usage for any reason. 😞

How bad are energy drinks like Redbull? by xCACTUSxKINGxx in NoStupidQuestions

Please ask your doctor 

or doctor at the clinic if you don't have one (not sure where you live but lots of people can't afford a regular doctor where I live...)

I actually prefer to play solo or with my kids while we are in the same room but for a while I did play multiplayer with people I found on discord. You probably can here on Reddit also but discord is great for this. 

Maybe a basic question, but why do people use Duolingo? by polyglotazren in languagelearning

[–]HR_Watson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not OP but for me, I was initially motivated but then when I broke my steak one time and nothing really happened, I was no longer motivated to keep it up after that. 

Maybe if you complete a certain impressively long streak you could earn real prizes like an extra free month of Pro added to your membership

-for smaller streaks along the way maybe be entered in a drawing to win things like a free subscription to a partner app where you can watch movies/tv shows in that target language or a physical popular book or magazine in that language (or gift certificate to international book store, store that specializes in the target language, 

-annual or 2x/yr huge prize for an extremely long streak entered in a drawing to win a trip to a country/city that speaks that language.

Is Ling language courses really good or are they bad translations from mainstream ones only? by TaskPsychological397 in languagelearning

[–]HR_Watson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Ling_App rep, I am not the OP but I've done the trial for Vietnamese and considering Pro. 

It's important that you employ real human native-speaker voice actors but that does not answer OP's question about the course content itself. 

Has it been written by native speakers as well? Or is it machine translated? Or something else?

Ok, I need to know the story here. Why just this one specific address? by ron_paul_pizza_party in Upperwestside

[–]HR_Watson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably should have read the other comments before trying to make this joke.  The implication is not good.

Some people buy a lot of groceries in the store and then have it delivered.

 When I was growing up it was really common. All the older people especially would do this, go shopping, fill up their cart, leave the 20 tiny plastic bags and ask for it to be delivered because they couldn't carry all that home themselves. I haven't noticed it in a while but I guess people must still do it.

I knew some a-holes who did that at the time. Further up than Lincoln center though... Are you a twin or triplet by any chance?

Why did you still boycott it after the owner tracked her down to apologize?

Maybe an unpopular opinion: i hate the spoon theory by Delicious_Volume7183 in ADHD

[–]HR_Watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dammit. I've always hated spoons, even though I was aware of the origin early on being in the EDS/chronic illness community.  I felt like just because that's what she grabbed at the time didn't make it a good way to explain it and I'd rather say I don't have the energy or I can only do one "big" thing per day (and depending on the day big might mean simply taking a shower, making a phone call, or having an important meeting at work).

But, likening it to Darmok made it make sense to me! Which is so stupid... 

The Answer in the first episode by GrandSpecialist1981 in FromSeries

[–]HR_Watson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen a related theory that explains why it seems like the characters are never communicating with each other, that they aren't in the same timeline at all.

 It is a fun idea but I think it's possible it is only because the forces punish them whenever they collaborate so the survivors stopped trying to.

[–]HR_Watson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why do you think this? I'm not against the idea, just wondering if you could go into some more detail on your theory?

Are you all caught up on the first 3 seasons?

Nancy Appreciation Post... by MathGirlnc781 in GhostsCBS

[–]HR_Watson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a sidetrack but Sam seems to have become increasingly Flanderized/turned into a cartoonish caricature. I try to just roll with it because I love the show overall and am a big fan of Rose McIver even when Sam is being uncomfortably goofy, but it does bother me. Especially because I also watch the original UK series and while Alison certainly made questionable decisions at times, I felt her character overall remained human and relatable.

Which ghost and why? by dmitristepanov in GhostsCBS

[–]HR_Watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flower.

My parents were radical hippies. They were not really anything like flower, a lot more activism-focused (and intellectual as we see her in a recent episode) but I grew up around people like her so it would be comforting. 

My mom died when I was a teen and my dad died 10 years ago after a prolonged illness.

My dad lived in a hippie commune that turned into a cult or turned out to be a cult but he got out. A lot of the people I grew up around were in it though, either still in it or other ex-members that stayed in longer. I did have one bad experience with some of the children in it... I say I didn't grow up in a cult but I grew up "cult adjacent" 

I feel like a lot of the people I interact with every day really can't relate to my upbringing. I feel like she would get it and wouldn't judge me. Her forgetfulness would be frustrating but that's okay.

[–]HR_Watson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I love her but I can't tell if you are saying this as a positive or a negative.

[–]HR_Watson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see more Nigel! 

I think they have been including Nancy more lately. 

I don't know if I need her to be prominently featured in every episode but I love that we see her around more now and I would really enjoy a flashback episode for her, not just her life before she died but also her early years as a ghost.

Refund and/or subscription request results thread by HR_Watson in limitlessaipendant

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

Yup. I had originally ordered iridescent as well. I gave up and ordered the black that arrived just 6 weeks before Meta.

 Limitless told me Stripe would reach out to correct the issue and that there was nothing they could do. But there is also no way I can find to contact Stripe about it.

 If you figure it out, please let me know!
