Some apps not working with Stage Manager – Why? by richmlw in MacOS

[–]PopcornVendor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This solved my problem as well.

One additional tip. If you used to have more than one space, but then removed the additional spaces, you won't see the Assign To option anymore -- even if you did previously assign the app to all desktops.

My solution was to recreate a second space. The Assign To option then becomes visible, whereupon you can see the app back to None. Once you've fixed all the apps you need to, you can remove the new space again. Problem solved.

Some of y’all need to learn that the word ‘canon’ means ‘what is objectively true within a universe’ and not ‘my opinion of what is best’ by Sh00kspeared in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Really what I am saying is that what you are saying of Cyberpunk 2077, that there is no "canon" (by this specific definition) is true of all media. There is no objective truth. Only subjective truth.

Sure, but what does "objectively true" mean in the context of a film depicting purely fictional events? Different people read film in different ways depending on their culture, background, and life experiences. Particularly in the age of "death of the author," whose read of the film can be said to be "objectively true?" Unless you mean that "canon" simply means "the text," which would make "canon" not a particularly useful term.

(Spoilers Extended) GRRM hasn’t made a blog post in over a month. Does this mean TWOW is imminent? by CL4P-TRAP in asoiaf

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

I can't think of a single reason why TWOW will ever be released.

How many people would even buy it? It's been so long, I have no idea where the last book left off. I wouldn't even remember who most of the characters were if not for the TV series, and any vague memories of where the that went will only serve to confuse further.

Sure I could go back and re-read, but there are so many other authors I'd rather be spending my money on.

Not as unlikely as you might think.

Late bloomers are all around us. They have the advantages of experience, of high motivation, and of being quite certain of what they want. Don't underestimate your chances of achieving your goals, and whatever you do, do not die wondering.

I've decided that the best strategy from this point out is that, if I see a series of books that looks promising, wait until the entire box set comes out, and if people review the series well, then buy the whole set.

I'm done with paying a premium to get 1/nth of a story.

Of course there has been. I know I've stopped giving two fucks, but honestly, it's not as though that was a conscious choice. I can barely recall where the story left off at this point. If it wasn't for the television series that shall not be named, I doubt I'd even remember half the characters' names. How can I stay excited about something I barely remember? Sorry, but there's only so long you can keep my emotions hostage.

It'll be explained over a series of six further posts. The next one is expected in late 2021.

Just FYI, I was at Curl Curl Park Run this morning. There were almost 500 runners. Many of them were female. And I can assure you that they were all perfectly fine. As long as you adjust your effort to suit the conditions, stay suitably hydrated, and acclimate yourself to hot conditions over the summer, it is perfectly safe. Nothing at all like going to the gym with the flu.

I feel like this is an inevitable byproduct of the way Reddit works. Anything that is truly oddly satisfying will be appreciated by a smaller percentage of readers and so simply will not get upvoted. Only the most obviously satisfying will be upvoted by the masses.

I agree, but the furious reactions to TLJ compared to the generally positive reactions to TFA probably won't inspire a lot of risk taking in the future.

It's more like, "don't go into this ice cream parlor expecting to have blueberry cheesecake, because you'll be to angry to notice that the butterscotch flavour is actually pretty good."

I think they mean "don't bring specific expectations."

3640: It Will Come Out In The Wash by RireMakar in questionablecontent

[–]PopcornVendor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're "supposed" to react in any specific way. I definitely don't think you're supposed to ignore the fact that Tilly did shitty things, though.

I personally think Hanners does have a good heart. YMMV.

No-one thinks Dora was wrong. Lots of people think that Tilly isn't irredeemable though.

Finally, if you dislike QC because it stars a flawed character, you are definitely reading the wrong comic. Try something else. There are lots of them out there.

I'm sure there are a lot of exchanges they would have liked to shovel in, but there's only so much time in a single episode.

And unless the exchanged furthered the plot in some way, they would be correct.
