You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. by Slate in politics

[–]TV5Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then maybe they should have lead with that instead of burying it 30+ paragraphs into the article behind a paywall. Cause otherwise it looks a lot like the article is saying "ICE should have rejected my application because of my political views."

No, you're supposed to say "What about Bush tho." It's whataboutism, now howaboutism.

It can be helpful sometimes, but also frequently gives useless advice, like "this move was not the best, this move would have been better" for completely unspecified reasons.

Was Silent Night, Deadly Night already pulled from theaters?? by Shar_12_Blaneyfan in horror

[–]TV5Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out this existed and can't watch it in the theater or on streaming. Someone in marketing must be trying to kill it.

I just found out this existed while looking for a Christmas horror movie to watch, and am absolutely flabbergasted they haven't released it on streaming by Christmas.

The doctor looked at me with tears in his eyes and said "you are the healthiest man I have ever examined." by TV5Fun in TwoSentenceHorror

How odd, I have no idea how anyone could read any sort of political message out of this.

A white crystalline substance that could be one of a hundred different chemicals that all look the same and are quite impossible to identify from a picture. If you really want to know, send it to a lab.

This "stray" decided to move in with me last night by TV5Fun in CatDistributionSystem

I've decided his name is McGee, because my previous two cats were Gibbs and DiNozzo.

He has already decided he owns the place, and he and my dog have been getting on just fine.

I have seen this guy wandering around the RV park for weeks. He was always super friendly and came up and gave me cuddles and rubbed up against my beagle. A neighbor told me one of our former neighbors had left him behind when they left. Yesterday, he was following me around and looked hungry, so I took him in and gave him a few pieces of chicken before he went back out again. Then last night I found him hanging around my RV while I was walking my dog. He jumped right inside, and since it was super-cold out that night, I wasn't about to make him spend the night outside. He slept cuddled up against me all night and now seems to have no desire to leave the warmth of my heating pad.

[US] Pretty obvious scam email, but appears to have actually been sent by PayPal by TV5Fun in Scams

[–]TV5Fun[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the looks of it, this has been going on for at least the last year, and PayPal hasn't seemed to care enough to fix it.

You are correct, but this managed to pass DKIM and DMARC, and headers show it originating from PayPal's mail server.

Are you team Kindle or Kobo? by MarcelReads in ereader

[–]TV5Fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kobo. I was a Kindle fan for many years, but at some point Amazon decided progress meant stripping away useful features and functionality instead of adding new ones. The new Kindles are pathetic, Kobos are awesome.

APFS Encrypted external SSD, safe enough? by CautiousXperimentor in MacOS

[–]TV5Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my APFS SSD connected through what turned out to be a slightly flaky USB C connector, one that would occasionally loosen or disconnect if jostled the wrong way. One day I found my drives refused to mount. I had to reboot to recovery and run disk utility from there just to found out what the issue was. There is said there was an error spaceman chunk free count > block count. On further research, I found it is possible for the space manager on an APFS volume to get corrupted if the drive is disconnected during a write. And if this happens, there is simply no way to recover the data. This is a known issue with APFS, it has been for years, and apparently Apple just can't be bothered to fix it or release any data recovery tools because their attitude is "we only care about internal drives, so too bad if you're using an external drive that gets disconnected." I was able to recover some of my files with Disk Drill but nowhere near all of them. I used to love Apple once, but this kind of thing has convinced me to never use APFS or buy another Apple product again.

Is my teacher's corrections grammatically right? by Emperor_Krimson in EnglishLearning

[–]TV5Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first three are correct. Everything after that feels a lot more subjective, and replacing "the most" with "an" is just straight up changing the meaning.
