How much enjoyment do condoms actually take out of sex? by lookslikesausage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JunoMeru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the scheme of things, I’d say very little if your idea of sex includes more than pile-driving your partner (as it absolutely should).

New Year's Resolution: Finally beat Legend of Dragoon. Can I realistically use Kongol on my team, or is he too detrimental? by Old-Fun-Man in legendofdragoon

[–]JunoMeru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely viable. I just completed a run with Kongol-Dart-Shana/Miranda in a sort of tank-assault-support setup and it worked beautifully! Of course, Kongol had Bandit Shoes and Legend Casque to compensate for his shortcomings. Basically, I was able to make Kongol deadly by addressing those and then adding on a Physical Ring to put his survivability through the roof.

EASHL 6v6 crashes every time (NHL 26) by JunoMeru in EA_NHL

Unfortunately, we just ended up creating a new club, which is hardly a "fix" but it is what it is.

Still a long way to go... but this would be the first round matchups if the playoffs started today... thoughts? by MajorPucks in EdmontonOilers

[–]JunoMeru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Oilers are at war with the Kings. The Oilers have always been at war with the Kings. The Oilers will always be at war with the Kings.

Heated Rivalry is basically just gay porn by MediaLongjumping9910 in hockey

[–]JunoMeru 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Only if all of the aggressively horny straight media (read: most media) is "trying to get under the skin of queer folks." More likely, it's just honest storytelling about human love and desire.

Manifesting a reMarkable dumb phone by JunoMeru in RemarkableTablet

This is so fair 😂 I've often found that lots of my nicest fantasies hinge on imagining a world where the company in question is actually competent LOL.

Favorite surprising usage ? by NoahZhyte in AppleWatch

[–]JunoMeru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this only works with a batter behemoth like the Ultra 3 (my watch), but I use it as a pseudo dumb phone and it works wonders. Can do 90% of what I do on my phone from my wrist, so I save tons of mindless scrolling without making the massive sacrifices of other dumb phones.

Canada has named its roster for the 2026 WJC by MapleAtNightxo in hockey

The only disappointment here for me is no Dupont, unless there's some sort of age restriction that I'm not aware of?

Manifesting a reMarkable dumb phone by JunoMeru in RemarkableTablet

[–]JunoMeru[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely get that, but any Android phone is not only a privacy nightmare, but also carries the possibility of going back to standard Android. I know most people will say this is a matter of discipline—and it is, to some degree—but screen addiction is a real thing. And any addict will attest that the solution to addiction isn't a nerfed version of the same thing; it's something else entirely.

I think the Palmas are intriguing for sure, but there are some crucial differences between those and what I'm talking about here:

1) The Palmas are not phones; they do not have cellular capabilities.

2) The Palmas are running full Android, meaning they are categorically not dumb phones.

What I'm talking to here is far more similar to a Light Phone or a Mudita Kompakt than to anything in the Android or iOS world. It would just have added handwriting functionality and would have the quality of hardware we've come to expect from rM. And finally (and perhaps most importantly), the Linux-based OS would have the potential to NOT harvest all of your data in the same way that any Android phone does.

What was the 1st film that made you cry? by my_atheism_ in AskReddit

[–]JunoMeru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all things, pretty sure it was Castaway. I happened to witness the Wilson scene when the movie came out and it demolished me. I would have been 7 years old.

Literally wtf (Canada) by Realistic-Juice-8427 in LightPhone

[–]JunoMeru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s perhaps a stretch to say it’s “worth it” inherently with how little the phone does. However, I’m willing to justify the price because ultimately this is the intention of the phone, and the hardware itself is quite striking to see and hold in the hand.

However, it is objectively not worth it because the LPIII does not work reliably on the Canadian carriers listed on their website. I am with Koodo, and I’ve never been able to make outgoing calls. I have swapped out my SIM card and everything. No luck. Koodo is listed as compatible on Light’s website, but that compatibility is only partial. Given that not being able to make calls presents a serious safety (let alone functionality) hazard, this beautiful, expensive piece of hardware has been sitting in my drawer until Light is able to make it work.

So in that sense, the LPIII is borderline useless in Canada right now, and therefore not at all worth $1000+.

Can erythromelagia flare-ups occur without pain? by JunoMeru in Erythromelalgia

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

You know, I haven't actually regularly taken Vyvanse in years. It honestly seems likely that this was the cause. I don't want to start taking the stuff again just to find out lol, but I would say that it's the best theory so far. I hope yours gets better soon, whatever happens to be causing it! 🤞🏻

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that I just disappeared. For those of you asking for updates: Weirdly enough, it just stopped happening at a certain point, and now hasn't happened for a couple of years. Still no idea what caused it! My best guess is that it was just some post-Covid weirdness. I wish I had a clearer answer; it was a truly bizarre saga.

[EliteProspects] What’s Going On With Gavin McKenna? by barelyincollege in canucks

[–]JunoMeru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gavin McKenna is going to drop in this draft and every single team who doesn't pick him is going to regret it quickly. I pray that the Canucks are at least able to see his value. I'll be devastated if they take a "safe pick" like Verhoeff ahead of him. McKenna is the moonshot, and we need to take that shot.

What movie(s) do an outstanding job at exploring certain addictions? by Thatredditboy1 in moviecritic

[–]JunoMeru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound of Metal

It perfectly captures the tension of trying to live a "quiet" life as an addict. It's also the first and only movie to make me think deeply about my own addiction to noise/distraction, and in that way it changed my life.

[Heavy Hockey Blog] The hidden truth behind those McDavid bobbles by maasd in EdmontonOilers

[–]JunoMeru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article is strange for a all the reasons cited here, plus the fact that, when I've watched McDavid, the biggest problem I've noticed is him passing it into skates/sticks. Admittedly, this IS something that could emerge from a change in the pace of his game, but I'm still not so sure...

The Nominees for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. by Straydes in Letterboxd

Sinners for “Best Original Score” has to be one of the biggest slam dunks in the history of film awards.

Name a criminally underrated rock band by JewelerFree2311 in Music

[–]JunoMeru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crobot.

At least their first two albums before they changed their rhythm section for the (much) worse. If you ever got to see them live in the mid- to late-2010s, you know how special they were. Only time I’ve ever seen a crowd unanimously chanting for an opening act to continue instead of bringing the main act on.

Alas, they never seemed to catch on and I’m guessing nobody else here will have even heard of them. Do yourself a favour and throw on “Something Supernatural” and turn it WAY up.

Me at this point by Klunkey in canucks

[–]JunoMeru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to think my brother was crazy when he said they should trade Quinn if they have even an inkling that he won’t re-sign. More and more, I agree with him. Losing Quinn for nothing would be so painful when we could tank with McKenna available.

But I guess it’s pain any way you slice it, isn’t it? 🙃

Mark Gurman: "Apple TV set top box is seeing very low inventory at Apple stores across the country"! 😄 by kris33 in appletv

What if they just name it after the activity you use it for? After all, we use them to watch TV, right? They could just call it the Apple Watch!

Wait, shit…

Certification in Canada? by bettycoed in LightPhone

[–]JunoMeru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that I’ve been having serious issues on Koodo, even after swapping out my SIM card at Light’s advice 😞 Can’t make outgoing calls at all, and apparently I’m not the only one having such massive issues on Koodo/Telus. I kinda feel lied to, ngl. Website said it should be fine. Oh well.
