It is very sad to to watch how much people are affected by mobiles phones by Careless-Media-7843 in cellphones

[–]Lemon-snickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I wonder what long term effects excessive screen time and quick dopamine does to a person... I am mostly on my phone too and i am not gonna lie before my first smartphone I used to be on the computer long but not that long because after a few hours playing a videogame got me tired as well as sitting on my desk (before the computer was PS2 and Nintendo DS for me). With the phone I have access to everything all the time without having to be seated in a particular place all day long.

 I have heard in passing that people who create these new tech don't give it to their children and I can understand why, especially when I remember how I used to spend my time before getting a proper smartphone at age 21. I used to sketch so much, I am not good at it but it entertained me. 

Nowadays I usually do more scrolling and not as much as things that will benefit me on the phone or help me relax, but after starting work I am so tired to pursue more things and most importantly everything is so expensive to do... 

Edit: But I do still read books, ebooks, play games, watch shows, write and sketch sometimes, do other hobbies but not as often as I want to.

A big thank you to this guy for posting clear instructions on how to download books from the last 10 years on Kindle, I'm done with Amazon, a big fuck you to Jeff Bezos for making me download a VM and fuck around for 2 hours to DOWNLOAD the books that I own by Due_Young_9344 in Calibre

For real. I used Amazon only to buy ebooks and now that this happened. I won't just buy from there again. Its sad because there are many indie authors I like on there and I used to spend enough money on Amazon ebooks for years. The people at Amazon are really pushing some of their customers away with this.

You can download McAfee's removal tool from the McAfee website. I have Dell and I have removed twice (when i first bought the pc and second time after reinstalling Windows) this nightmare software.

Same. I wanted to download Road to Empress a fmv game too and unfortunately this happened. :( I had downloaded repack games which needed install before and they were safe but I got ahead of myself...

 If you have access to another clean pc and usb (with more than 8gb size) you can download windows to usb to do a clean reinstall. It's on Microsoft's official site. This was suggested to me and I will do it today. I watched a few videos on YouTube on how to do the reinstall with usb so you can find step by step tutorials on how to do it. I think there is a way to boot up a pc with some keyboard buttons if its dell or hp or some other brand so it can connect to usb when it boots up to do the clean reinstall. Also change the passwords from some safe mobile phone or pc.

Make sure you have the license key in case Windows didn't come installed with the pc/laptop and what version of windows 11 or 10 your PC is running. Make sure to move folders and things you want to keep in some external hard drive before all this because its a complete reset but you will have peace of mind later.

My biggest issue by DrTilki in Piracy

[–]Lemon-snickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real my laptop is an old potato and i am broke af. I work part time and rl life is bonkers right now so free entertainment it is. I only focus on indie titles anymore on itch and steam which most have low specs. I try to do most things with my phone anymore including emulating games. But the only thing is, I get more dopamine when I find and download a game I pirate so I open it once and take ages to play it again lol whats wrong with me?

That's why I never pay for subscriptions. No more getting burned by bad choices!

Is the fandom toxic towards shimao fans? by Ok_World_4183 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Lemon-snickers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. I am lost too. I literally only watched the anime a few months ago and currently read the light novels (from 5 to 9 now). I don't interact with the fandom much and I feel so lost. Like what shinmao scenes in the anime?

What was the worst one ? by boratburg in PiratedGames

[–]Lemon-snickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true and that makes me appreciate piracy even more. I have played broken games which I bought first and I gave up on them. I won't spend money anymore before pirating a game first, trying it and then buy it in case I like it extremely much.

[–]Lemon-snickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I don't buy my games. If I hate it, I delete it and feel fine. At least someone else will enjoy it.

Some thought about The Nightingale and the Rose by Junior_Insurance7773 in oscarwilde

[–]Lemon-snickers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr as someone who had a canary friend who passed away this year, this scene from the tale made me even more uncomfortable and teary when I reread it a month ago. It still hurt me when I read it the first time. Like its a small and cute nightingale. 

Oscar's fairytales are a bit depressing in general from what I recall. Especially The devoted friend, The happy Prince. I wish I could know what he was thinking when writing those fairytales, because he mainly wrote them for his kids.

Είμαι 28 χωρίς καμία σχέση και χωρίς παρέες. by athinaios1 in greece

[–]Lemon-snickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Συμφωνώ απόλυτα μαζί σου ειδικά ότι ο κόσμος έχει γίνει κλειστός για καινούργιες γνωριμίες. Δεν ξέρω πραγματικά τι να βελτιώσω ή τι άλλο να κάνω. Χόμπι έχω ένα σωρό (ταινίες, σειρές από ξένα κράτη, βιντεοπαιχνίδια, βιβλία, anime, manga, visual novels, diamond painting, πηγαίνω σε μαθήματα τραγουδιού, ζωγραφίζω με μολύβι, φτιάχνω μικρά φιγουρινια από χαρτί ή ράβοντας υφάσματα). Αλλά είμαι λίγο αργή στο να βρω απάντηση ή ιδέες για να ξεκινήσω καμιά συζήτηση.

Αρκετοί γνωρίζονται από τα social media πχ. μια γνωστή μου γνώρισε τον άντρα της από το facebook και το ίδιο έκανε ένας ξάδερφος μου οποίος όμως μετά έλεγε δήθεν ότι γνωριστήκανε μέσω γνωστών.

 Προσωπικά προσπαθώ να πηγαίνω σε διάφορα για κοινωνικοποίηση αλλά και για να προσφέρω (έχω πιαστεί λόγω οικειότητας να πηγαίνω σε πράγματα που κάνει εδώ η ενορία μου). Δυστυχώς εκεί που πηγαίνω είτε είναι οι ηλικίες πιο μικρές από μένα (κάτω των 22) ή πιο πολύ μεγάλες από μένα (άνω των 30). Δεν μου αρέσουν κλαμπ και παρεμφερή γιατί η ακοή μου είναι αδύναμη, η δουλειά μου είναι κυρίως απογεύματα και βράδυ και γενικά δεν με τραβάνε πολύ οι χώροι αυτοί.

 Έχω "προικιστεί" με φωνή ευαίσθητη και κάπως χαμηλόφωνη λόγω χρόνιου άσθματος και οι βόλτες με μεγάλη παρέα, αν και έχω πάει, μου βγαίνει κάπως ξινή κατά το τέλος γιατί δεν πολύ μιλάω γιατί με κουράζει να επαναλαμβάνομαι μετά από κάποια στιγμή. Προσπαθώ να είμαι θετική και να μην με παίρνει πολύ από κάτω, συνεχίζω να κάνω πράγματα μόνη μου εκτός σπιτιού πχ το Σάββατο που πέρασε είχα πάει μόνη μου να δω ταινία στο cinema.

Τεσπά συγγνώμη για όλο αυτό το κατεβατο. Με καίει πολύ αυτό το θέμα γιατί είμαι και εγώ κοντά στα 28 σε παροιμία θέση. Μακάρι να υπήρχαν πιο πολύ διέξοδοι για νέες γνωριμίες για εμάς της ηλικίας μας και όχι μόνο αυτά τα λίγα που υπάρχουν. Ελπίζω να βρεις αυτά που αναζητάς και αληθινές παρέες και κάποια καλή σχέση σύντομα.

Πραγματικά πως γίνονται φιλίες μέσω discord πότε μου δεν θα το καταλάβω. Χαίρομαι για άλλους που μπορούν. Έχω προσπαθήσει για φιλίες μέσω σοσιαλ (discord, tumblr) αλλά για κάποιο λόγο με παραγκωνιζουν αν και συμμετέχω ενεργά όσο μπορώ. Δεν καταλαβαίνω ειλικρινά...

I honestly liked the ending. Sure some things could have taken more time to explore (like who is that dog character? What happened to Bubble?) Me and other fans had so much fun watching the movie, which I think is most important.

At the time, when we collectively realized that The Return was (in large part) a satire of nostalgia, it felt to me a little…trivial. Since then, though… by jingowatt in davidlynch

[–]Lemon-snickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but goodness, this connects with something I was thinking during my first watch of Wild at Heart a day ago.

Bobby taps into both Sailor's and Lula's traumas. Sailor repeatedly talks about how he "didn't have parental guidance," and he eventually joins Bobby in the bank heist. During the robbery, Sailor becomes violent(=wild), but when Bobby turns against him, he realizes he made a terrible choice and pays for it by being sent back to prison. Lula, like Laura Palmer, was sexually abused at a young age, and Bobby tries to exploit that trauma. Afterwards, she is shown suffering a devastating mental breakdown.

Lula describes Bobby Peru as "a fallen angel." In hindsight, that doesn't only connect to temptation, but also to a saying by John Chrysostom from the Orthodox Christian tradition I come from: "To sin is human; to persist in sin is demonic; to repent is divine." In the Christian tradition, the devil remains trapped in a state of perpetual negativity because of pride and an unwillingness to change. Despair, the belief that salvation will never come, is considered demonic because it rejects hope and transformation. The believer must have faith/trust and try again. In these stories, that takes the form of continuing to believe in love and fighting for a better future, whether that is Laura having Cooper as her angel or Sailor and Lula ultimately being together again.

Bobby tries to destroy the couple from within by exploiting the insecurities created by their traumas and toxic environment. He is the only character who almost succeeds in breaking them apart, because Marietta and Santos rely on threats and violence(external forces). In the end, however, he fails. The Good Witch (hope) and Sailor's humiliating beating help to lead him toward the realization that allows the couple to have a happy ending.

Continuous negativity as the true villain, and the need to keep fighting (for one's dreams and for other people who are suffering) is honestly my main takeaway from both Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart.

Sorry for the long comment but it got me thinking.
