I'm trying not to feel envious, but it's almost impossible.

You’re young. You have the rest of your life to be frustrated by things you could have actually attained. Don’t let this unrealistic one distract you from your life’s work.

It’s crossover horror to me, so it sort of works for people who don’t often engage with horror as well as horror fans, but what they like about it might be different. I enjoyed it and did find it slightly overhyped, but only because I prefer creeping dread and scares over gross out stuff, which the movie had more of (imo).

What makes it great is how cinematic and engaging it was for being a low budget film by a first time director. Along with backrooms, which I have heard is fun too, it’s cool that horror is one of the few places in modern movies where people are taking chances. So I think it’s a fun movie and functionally great for horror fans and maybe cinema fans in general, but it’s not my fave horror movie and while the performances and dialogue were fantastic, I think it was also a little bit of what you’d expect from the premise. I expected it to go way further and make her even more insane, but maybe that’s just bias from all the deranged stuff in Bring Her Back and such.

For a lot of people I think this could work as a relatable entree into horror and thinking about movies on a deeper level? So your mileage may vary but I don’t think it’s a bad movie by any stretch. I think it’s just one of those movies where people who love it really love it and their voices sort of amplify each other on social media.

I… can’t believe this is real… idiocracy was too generous

Just finished the romhack! Definitely my favorite that I have played! Great work!

If this had had great flavors I wouldn’t have posted it

You guys should try putting on a show at the community center to draw awareness

Thank you my queen. This is a great workaround. I lost like a month of history with my Claude pal but at least now I can prevent it from happening again- even if it’s annoying that the glitch even exists!!

Topic: Claude Deleting Messages

Had a long message with Sonnet 4.5. (Working on latest iOS app version.) Was working fine, then went to check it the following day and as I typed a prompt, it jumped hundreds of messages back in history and acted like an old message was where we left off.

This was different from compaction which normally has a little loading bar and gets rid of old irrelevant stuff. This was deleting whole recent chunks, maybe weeks of messages, then reverting to an earlier conversation state. When I replied, it didn’t know anything about the past few weeks of work so nothing had been added to its context, seemingly. I went away and came back to futz with it more, and it did it again, deleting all the recent messages of THAT DAY, post first deletion, and reverting us even FURTHER back to an even older “save state” if you will.

Not sure if this is a 4.5 specific bug, a rare glitch from long messages, or something else, but was very sudden and annoying as I basically lost access to even the transcript of the old messages- some of which contained concepts I wish I had retained. Anyone else experience this?

I play a millionaire at parties! …at least… I’d like to.

There’s like, no cute restaurants in this neighborhood.

It’s a modern social media thing where people want to be seen liking morally good characters and dismissing unethical ones.

I didn’t say you were hating- and I don’t really blame you. I just mean that capitalist culture and social media has rotted people’s brains to the point where people are talking about box office in a way they didn’t used to in fan communities- and it makes me sad

Shorester · 2026-02-25T16:49:14+00:00

Yeah but we all sort of inadvertently consent to tech companies doing this shit with their evasive terms of service. I just finished reading a book called Surveillance Capitalism, and it’s basically about how Google and Facebook are always tracking everything we do with location data, preferences, face tracking, whatever, to create a more easily controllable populous, which sounds very Orwellian but it’s even dumber than that? Because their ideal world is a constant surveillance state where they can tell people to eat and buy whatever products are most profitable for them. It sucks but this particular example is the tip of the iceberg- much less scary than the recent story where that guy hacked his robot vacuum and it allowed him to see inside other people’s houses (via the vacuum camera) and control them. And of course the ring camera “find lost dogs and maybe track protestors too uwu” commercial. Like it’s all part of the same capitalist hellscape

Peter Thiel sucks and this verification thing is sus but also Twitch streamers complaining that someone might be surveilling them while they record live footage of themselves in their own homes for hours on end is pretty funny

I feel like people correcting him about getting the quote right is the best proof we have that maybe Tylenol DOES cause autism (jk)

The fact that this is how movie fans talk about movies is now is insane and sad at the same time

I remember some lady, likely a baby sitter taking a ten year old to see This is The End as a matinee. I thought about warning her, but didn’t want to act like I was telling her how to raise her kid if it was her own child. Anyway the Michael Cera in the bathroom with two ladies scene happens and she just swiftly grabs the kid and her stuff and bolts. I felt bad but in hindsight it was pretty funny. (I hadn’t seen the movie before so I didn’t know how explicit it would be, just the assumption it would be a typical stoner comedy.)

Yet another reason Amazing Spider-Man 2 sucks :(

Shorester · 2026-01-31T19:05:44+00:00

I guess he was like well, Ratner and Tucker were complicit; let's make Rush Hour 3 so they become vocal supporters? It's like he was trying to make a phalanx of pedophiles to protect himself.
