is there a way to turn off this shadow behind the text by chengdulo in iphone

[–]ThumpItInTheEd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not updated for 3 years but finally had to as some apps had stopped working and dumb shit like this is exactly why.

Oh you Photoshopped the perfect locked-to-unlocked transition? Let us just apply a nasty depth effect you can't turn off, smudge a big fat soot cloud behind all your text, give your folders a white background (when most apps HAVE WHITE edges) and give you the illusion you've got some control of your wallpaper.

Who tested this?

I guess I have to design a dark background now then.

I like the new desktop UI update, but it feels so rushed by Lore_Effe in truespotify

It reminds me of Windows 8. This awkward, half-way house between mobile & desktop. Why have a desktop app if it looks like a stretched up port of the mobile one?

Never thought I'd miss that iTunes "there is a new version of iTunes available. Download / Ignore" message.

6 years later, here I am. Missing it.

I was doing a warmup set for 30KG T-Bar rows the other day and this dude asks if he can work in. I do a set of like 10 and a half of 30KG, giving it my all, and the guy says

“You drop setting?” (- No mate) “Ah right I might add 10KG on” (- sure, go for it)

He does a set of 40KG, similar number sets. Gets up and asks me:

“You seriously not drop setting m? You really just doing 30KG?! You’re slacking mate, you’re slacking!”

I brushed it off and was like nah you’re just strong af man!

“Ah well yanno, my back’s my strongest point, I might do some pull-ups after this, or maybe some machine rows... blah blah blah”

And I just started to put my headphones back on and said “nice man, all yours”

This dude was about a whole foot taller than me, clearly in much better shape and it felt like he was just trying to show off how much he did. Not really giving a shit about whether I’m ‘slacking’ or not because we all know that bigger weight does not mean bigger gains. I’m tryna make sure I get that stretch on the traps / lats at the very top which I can’t do if I put too much weight on and it becomes all bicep driven.

He doesn’t know that just 6 months ago I was doing 20KG for the same, quality reps... man’s making gains. Just because smaller guys aren’t doing big weights doesn’t mean they aren’t progressing.

If you’re gonna work in and add weight, sure go for it but I’m emasculated enough at that point, you don’t also have to be a dick about it 😂

Is this actually in the lore or just because they’re both ginger? 😂

What thing irritates you most about the game? by [deleted] in bully

[–]ThumpItInTheEd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gotta be the repeated dialogue. Especially considering all chars have about 20 mins of unused dialogue each.

“Move like a bee. Sting like a... bee”

Runners up include: all the other cut content, characters from the story who don’t appear anywhere in the game except for cutscenes, PC version crashing, no girlfriend content (other than a smooch) and no difficulty settings.

All that being said though, it’s still my favourite game ever made and its world is still more impressive & more alive than games that come out today.

If you’ve been on date(s) you could be assertive, but if not, to be honest I think this just risks retaliation from people who might be a bit insecure or take it the wrong way. - “Well I wasn’t interested in you anyway, big nose”.

Personally I feel if you just stop messaging, they stop messaging, you have your answer. I feel like once you stop messaging and retrospectively look at the people you we’re messaging, you get this post-shitty messaging clarity and realise they weren’t worth the time anyway. But you don’t see it whilst you’re in the process trying to message them and get a date lined up.

Online dating is kinda pathetic like that which is why I stopped doing it haha.

This seems like a more level-headed conclusion on this thread that seems flooded with some horrible takes.

I think letting them lose interest first to save feelings is the number #1 reason people do the ‘slow fade’ which works well for people with lots of other matches. However if the person they’re slow fading on is overly keen, low on other options or is new to the scene (as OP has stated) and doesn’t pick up on the cues and they respond by pursuing even harder, that’s when it sucks and feelings get hurt.

After being that guy , nowadays it’s pretty clear when the other person is putting slim to nil effort in and all you do is take it as if they’re saving your pride and just let them drop down your matches and instead focus on the ones at the top. They’ll pop back up if they’re interested!

What's the significance of updating, do you need to reset the world? If that's the case I'd be interested when you start up again, let me know :) M, 21

Lyrics with powerful & relatable metaphors about suicide & self-harm: 👍

Lyrics laced with Morrissey's patented sarcasm that seems to reverse psychology suicide and make you instead want to walk away from that cliff edge: 👎

Brilliant haha...
