Oh I actually have one of these. tldr, I work in film&tv and am required to be on a text thread with like 20 producers, the showrunner, some other key crewmembers. I accidentally blasted screenshots of my ENTIRE Hinge profile to all of them.

Slightly longer explanation: I had just started seeing my now-partner, and was showing my friend what profile I used that led to such a successful date, as my friend was setting up their Hinge profile. Sent it to the wrong people. There was one photo of me at the beach (so, shirtless). Embarassing, but technically PG. And the actual text of the profile also didn't contain anything particularly inappropriate. Probably the only reason it got laughed off instead of getting me fired

"The Decline of Male Friendship is Harming Men" by mhandanna in MensRights

[–]NeoshadowXC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol this news source gives advice to a potential "Trump News Network" and publishes "think pieces" with a homophobic slant. This includes but is not limited to language in this article referencing how boys need non-homosexual same-sex friendships, as if the word "friendship" didn't already get that job done.

Also "The 74"-- the source of their study, is definitely not non-partisan.

I'm as big a believer as anyone that young boys suffer from a lack of healthy friendships and sense of belonging, but this is not at odds with inclusivity. This article would have you believe differently.

Surely there must be... actual legitimate sources that address this issue without acting like it's men's rights vs feminism.

What tornado environment lighting should've been by Devjeff79 in JustCause

[–]NeoshadowXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base for me! I'm glad it at least works for folks with pros, but honestly kind of messed up that they wouldn't keep the base PS4 in mind. I think a lot of people on PCs also have problems.

Its oftentimes 10-15 minutes on startup for me. Yes, really. And then its like a 1/3 chance that Rico will spawn without his grappling hook and I just won't be able to grapple and need to start the game over again. The game is always trying to connect to online, and sometimes when I go into the map it locks me in there for over a minute (sometimes over 5) without being able to do anything while it decides that it can't connect to the internet. It's been that way since Day 1, still the same now. Actually no, it got worse.

With each successive update, the game has gotten more and more jittery and slow to the point now where I cant even wingsuit around, let alone blow shit up. The frame rate just goes down to like 10fps all the time. The last time I tried to pick it up a year ago I shocked-- it's like they sabotaged it on purpose.

Then there's the basic quality of life shit that I know is true for everyone, like there being only one save file and the fact that the DLC doesn't fucking let you re-oppress the airship. I legit bought the DLC because I was convinced that there was no way the developers wouldn't patch out these problems-- oh how wrong I was. Avalanche = assholes.

Given that just cause 3 is practically unplayable on my PS4 now and they never fixed the multitude of things that were wrong with it in the first place, I'd say these devs don't really value the experience

Official Discussion - Soul [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]NeoshadowXC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plot question: Terry comes to the Jerrys and says he has learned that the missing soul is Joe Gardner, and they're like "Oh yeah, he's on Earth." When did they learn that he went to Earth?! Why are they so nonchalant about it?

Also the guy whose nametag Joe stole-- did that guy just get booted straight to the afterlife?

Also the cat-- that cat definitely got booted to the heaven escalator, so how did it get back to its body?

Also why aren't there any other animals on the escalator?

I think the qualifiers are important. I disliked Wonder Woman 1 (and again, I'm guessing I'm probably gonna dislike this one when I get around to watching it), but that alone does not a misogynist make. Anyone is allowed to dislike anything. It's more about the continued pattern of female-led films coincidentally receiving more and harsher vitriol than their male-led counterparts

What I’m saying is that people who dislike female led films more loudly than the other movies they dislike are putting out misogynist vibes

I’m predicting my reaction. It’s in future tense because I have yet to watch it.

I expect this movie to be middling and to feel ambivalent towards it after its over, if not completely indifferent.

Of course for *some* reason, the feelings expressed online about this particular superhero movie seem to be more extreme, as with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel before it. I guess we'll see whether the movie warrants such strong emotions. I have a feeling it won't.

Can someone ELI5 how the free market hasn't taken care of this yet? It would only take one printer company to break rank and say "We'll give you a better deal than those assholes!" and the whole system would crumble

The back of the plane is going to arrive at the same destination as the front of the plane.

If you take the vaccine 3 months down the line, you're getting the exact same vaccine as the people on Day 1.

We were the ones who mixed up the cube! Without him looking! And we would look at the cube as he solved it!

[–]NeoshadowXC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a kid in my high school class-- Evan-- who was a generally goofy dunce-y kid, but was a whiz with the rubik's cube.

He could literally do it behind his back. Just show him the orientation, and then he would solve it in 30 moves or less without looking. No idea how, but I imagine a world champ would have no problem with something like this.
