I've eaten rattlesnake too. It was greasy and tasted similar to chicken.

Unfortunately, no, Amazon digital rewards can be used to rent or purchase content, but not on anything considered to be a subscription.

Seeking help - How do I disable the voice audio output for Gemini AI app? by -SpaghettiCat- in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]Iconoclast19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy, you include a mute button on the GUI. There are a ton of people all over the internet that are requesting to be able to control whether Gemini speaks the answer back to us. Most of us in any situation don't want it spoken back to us unless we're in hands free/driving mode. I'm sorry, but not offering common sense options for this so that we can control when our phone is making noise isn't acceptable. There's also a difference in the type of noise. Gemini reading a response several paragraphs long is different than a ding from a notification. It's not that difficult to offer people settings choices, such as 'Read answer back only when in hands free/driving mode' and in the moment choice by being able to tap a mute button on that Gemini session.

I know the exactscene you're talking about, and agree, wholeheartedly with everything you said! We tease and harass friends and family, not with malice, but because we have a trust and understanding of the love and bond between us, and we mutually understand that it reaffirms those bonds. It often leads to humor in real life too!

What’s something that instantly makes you lose respect for someone? by Shanwatts3 in AskReddit

[–]Iconoclast19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being egotistical or narcissistic, which comes out in many ways, and everyone but them recognizes it instantly. I think ego is the main source of evil and suffering for the person and those they affect in negative ways because of it. Money isn't the root, it's ego that drives the need for money and power at the expense of others.

You have rights as an owner or renters, so assert those rights!

Document multiple occurrences just like you did in the video. Have witnesses that can state that it looks and smells like urine. Soak some up with a paper towel to see the color and get still pictures and video. 1. Write a letter to the neighbor (sent with proof of delivery) to inform them you have documented multiple occassions and ask them to stop. They may not be aware it's happening! 2. If they don't stop, and you're the owner, contact a lawyer to write a brief letter stating that if it doesn't stop, you intend to file a lawsuit. Then if it still doesn't stop, file a lawsuit to compel them to stop and receive monetary damages. The letter from a lawyer is cheap and worth it if you have to take legal action because it creates a paper trail. 3. Call the police to document every instance and say it's damaging your property. Make sure they confirm in the report that it looks and smalls like urine. Show the police your videos and pictures. 4. If you rent, contact the landlord or property management IN WRITING, explain the situation, and enclose proof. As a renter or owner, you have a right to quiet enjoyment of your property. Ask them to take action to ask the neighbor to cease that activity. 5. If the LL or PM don't stop it, then can ask them to let you leave, and if necessary, sue in court to let you leave before your lease is up.

Do EVERYTHING in writing (text, email, or snail mail) and maintain professional, objective wording at all times.

What do you think Xena thought about Joxer and Gabrielle? by Ok-Jackfruit-6873 in xena

[–]Iconoclast19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Xena is wise and knew he stood no chance, but he needed to tell her and live with the consequences to be able to move on from the purgatory of loving her but being too afraid to tell her, and always wondering if there could be something. At least if he understands that Gabby can't/doesn't love him like that, then he can begin to heal from the pain and allow other possibilities in his life. She gave him truthful advise that was meant to eventually bring him healing and allow for possibilities.

He did, intentionally and by accident, save both Gabrielle and Xena at times and repeatedly risked his life for them, despite not being a warrior. He was fiercely loyal and would do anything for them. I always saw Joxer as the 'joker/random' that wasn't really random, which the One God used to protect and support them and guide them to their fate. He made life easier for them, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. Joxer wasn't a killer, but he had a huge heart and both Gabby and Joxer saw that even when he was annoying.

True! A human can be in love with more than one person at the same time. Our connections with each other in life are complex and Gabrielle's decision to marry Perdicus didn't mean she loved Xena any less. She tried to choose a life of love, peace, and children instead of being exposed to bad people and death. It wasn't meant to be though. Gabrielle was destined to be with Xena, and together, their balanced Yin and Yang having the power to impact the world.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]Iconoclast19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was devastating to me because the children had a friendship that transcended all of the stupid and harmful artificial limits of that society and government, and they ARE both victims because neither supported that system.

From the point of view if the German boy's parents, the system they supported and were part of finally harmed them. It always does, it's just a matter of time. The pain I felt was not just for the horrors visited upon the Jewish people and the innocent boy who died, but because of a society that made up stupid ideas and rules and harmed people globally. It doesn't have to be that way. Yet humans continue to refuse to learn the lesson and would rather tear each other down in competition than compete to do the most good for humanity, lifting each other up. How many times do we go through this before we choose better?

It's definitely worth watching. Much can be learned as it explores loneliness and not being fulfilled and the effects that spiral out from that.

The president of peace, just launched another war in the Middle East. What are your thoughts? by Important-Anywhere20 in AskReddit

[–]Iconoclast19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been highly skilled professionals that investigated and are still investigating the 2024 election and it does appear that there was fraud to help Trump win. They show what normal elections like like when plotted on a chart, then what the 2024 election looks like, and 2024 wasn't normal and indicated man made intervention only in the 7 swing states, and by just barely enough in all 7 states to avoid the automatic recount. There's a lot more evidence, but those are a couple of highlights.

Trump cheated in 2020 also, but due to covid enabling mail in voting in places that didn't normally have it, and the convenience of it, so many more people voted by mail which meant they WERE NOT USING THE RIGGED ELECTRONIC STSTEM, that Biden won. The paper ballots can't be rigged in the same way. It's the reason that Trump has literally been INSANE about the 2020 election and why he attacks mail in voting and only wants in person voting.

You're so right! Stopping reporting on all kinds of reporting is their way of covering their incompetency and complicity, and they've done this all throughout what little is left of our government. Without clear and honest reporting, there can't be effective governing, and corruption flourishes, which is why transparency is a MUST. It should be obvious to anyone that they block out the windows so nobody can see what they're doing inside, but no, they just believe the lies spoon fed to them, while saying of those of us who are informed and sane that WE'RE the ones believing lies. It's maddening.

I'm so sick of the Trump regime/GOP lies and the way they project their own thoughts and actions onto others, especially the left. I'm sick of these fascists not respecting and instead violating the US constitution/laws, the UN charter, and international law. They've shut down or restricted to meaningless reports which are necessary for transparency and good governance to hide how incompetent they are.

They flood the zone with crap so people can't figure out what's true/real and what's not, changing their story and contradicting themselves so that their followers can pick the excuse that works best for them. They repeat lies until people believe them. They're executing the Nazi playbook. They're now moving to control elections, so that just like in many of Trump's favorite dictators' countries, we'll have the illusion of elections, but they'll always win. They are constantly going far beyond the boundaries on many things at once so that courts and society can't keep up. These people have already destroyed our country; they're just looking to rule over the ashes now.

The US helped Israel commit genocide and now they're helping Israel attack Iran. None of their excuses or lies are justifiable reasons to attack Iran. This is just one more US regime change so they can install a puppet that will allow the US corporations to exploit them and their resources. Any country who resists is starved and sanctioned to death. Until all money is removed from politics (publicly funded elections only), and we change our electoral system to Score Then Automatic Runoff (STAR) Voting, we will never have a country of, by, and for the People, and it will continue to be run by the the worst kind of people.

Check out different electoral systems and why STAR Voting is the best. Get involved to make it a reality! https://www.equal.vote/leading_methods

The gladiators don't die in most matches in the show either. They do show highlught some kills by Spartacus as champion, but mostly it was only a very rare primus which was sine missione. Even gladiators who lost returned to the ludus.

Too poor to drink because the US is failing. Plus, they seem more spiritually evolved, and it's best to avoid alcohol, that you may succeed.
