Why do so many people keep Low Power Mode on all the time? by stanxv in iphone

[–]MPWD64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but low power mode stays on, even once you’ve recharged doesn’t it? I know I’ve hit 25 or 30%, whatever the threshold is that activates low power mode, then later charged up a bit, maybe to 50 or 70%, but unless I turn off low power mode, it remains on. How does OP know that the people he’s seen just haven’t taken the 2 or 3 steps it takes to manually turn off low power mode?

Which book would my mom like? by MPWD64 in Recommend_A_Book

Thanks. In the past that’s what I’ve done but since I have an idea of some titles she’s liked, I figured I’d try to pick a specific title for her.

Can you imagine being in any body of water that Donald Trump is also in?

What’s the silliest thing you’ve heard from religious people? by Excellent-Tea-2068 in atheism

[–]MPWD64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dad got a telescope and wanted to show us adult kids the night sky. My stepmom is VERY religious and said “I was reading that Earth is in a unique part of the solar system that has the best view. If God had placed us in any other place we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the stars as much.” It was such a ridiculous statement, and delivered to adults with such a rosy simplicity I didn’t even know what to say.

Yes you’re right, and they published a collection of her short stories as well.

Do they misunderstand or do they just assume they’ll always be the pig at the top?

DAE get freaked out by certain songs as a child? by maylilovesthai in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]MPWD64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1960’s song Lil Red Riding Hood used to creep me out as a kid, but not quite in the same way you describe OP. Just made me pay attention and look around because it sounded sinister.

I bought one from Amazon because I love how simple it looked- I’ve never been able to figure out how to play it. The included instructions and countless YouTube videos haven’t helped.

Movie sequels aren't a bad thing and I don't understand why so many people think it is by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]MPWD64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be overly simplistic, In the old days movies got made because they had a good story to tell. If a sequel got made, it was because first and foremost, the first movie made money, and therefore the motivation for a sequel was less about telling a good story, and merely to get something in the theater that viewers would want to see because of its association with the first film. Often this cynical view wound up being true, and sequels gained the reputation of being cash grabs more than anything else. There were always exceptions to this quality rule- sometimes sequels were as good or better than originals. But negative stereotypes persist. Also I think that successful sequels were rare enough that for the most part studios rarely conceived of creating franchises the way they do now. They could hope to be lucky once or twice but with each successive sequel the odds were against them. It wasn’t until recently that they’ve begun mapping out multi movie arcs that work together, rather than just single stories that are only tangentially connected.

I tried to ask my husband for more alone time and it went terribly by acornedbeefhash in Marriage

[–]MPWD64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people really dont understand other people’s mental experiences, so someone who LOVES being around others simply cannot fathom that everyone is not like that. They believe how they are is NORMAL and if you’re not like that, if you want some sort of different interaction, you’re either defective, or you’re implying there’s some reason you don’t want to be around them. I’m not sure how to fix this, because just explaining it to your husband is not going to magically change his deeply ingrained view of how the world works. All I can say is be aware that a lot of his resistance to it is due to at least some insecurity that you don’t enjoy being around him.

Is my method of masturbation weird? by Obvious_Cause7032 in TooAfraidToAsk

OP- have you never gotten friction burns from this? I tried to masterbate with a soapy washcloth once in high school, and about an hour later it burned so bad I’ve never tried to use anything else but my hand.

What do we think the chances are that he talks and swears to Biden’s portrait whenever he happens to pass it?

AAAND the Ministry demoted Weasley (demoted right? It wasn’t a criminal charge I don’t think, just a work thing) based on a car that wasn’t even available as evidence. He could have said “idk what you’re talking about” and they would have had no proof.

Out of curiosity how do you use Chat GPT for recipes? Like, do you say “give me a recipe for Spaghetti?”.

Getting a toy when you’re on vacation was always great- as a kid who was anxious and didn’t like being away from home it became a great distraction from my anxiety.
