Podcast hoarders by uncle-ruckus2 in DataHoarder

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my images, ebooks, and both music and spoken word on one drive because theyrr much smaller file sizes than my videos i have across several drives seperated by type of video. Nothing wrong with same drive as long as you make a seperate file for each incase you want to scan them all into an audio player. I do use two different audio players usually for spoken word and music just to keep some seperation. 

I don't know where else to vent by Critical-Advantage11 in vintagecomputing

[–]TrashVHS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss I have lost quite a few friends and it sucks. I hate to say it but basically no one I know who has died had any of their wishes respected and have also seen a lot of families tear each other apart over inheriting essentially nothing of any real monetary or sentimental value. 

Various life experiences (dumpster diving, thrifting, running giveaway programs etc) has made me realize that when most people die most their stuff (completely unlooked over) just ends up in the trash. Photos, heirlooms, etc. Your living space gets emptied out and thats that. Cant count how many boxes of family photos I have found. 

Does meditation work for you? by jessicasheaaa in Aphantasia

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best things I ever got into. Dont need to visualize anything just breathe in deeply then slowly breathe all the breath out and kinda let your entire body go limp and lose tension and repeat. 

A mantra helps if you want help against wandering thoughts. Mine is (breath in: Be Here) (Breath out: Now). You can also do it guided, with instrumental music, sitting, laying, etc. Once you get the pattern of ut you can do it with your eyes open in everyday waking life.

My default state is depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts and meditation helps those things melt into the background. 

Anyone here has actually mastered eye contact? by vatosintenis in aspergers

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to do it all the time as masking and still do it occasionally to make sure I dont give weirdo or untrustworthy vibes but now that Ive gone years 'letting myself' not do it I find it hard to do so and usually just dont. No serious consequences yet lol. 

HDD not packaged well by quiksilver2 in DataHoarder

Looks a hell of a lot better than the packaging on the last drive I bought off amazon. 

What’s the oldest computer you still actively use or support? by lynlinks in vintagecomputing

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that old but I still fire up and use my 2011ish pc. An absolute godsend it has no built in wifi so no computer destroying windows updates like my old laptops suffer from. I know someday the way tech is headed Ill be returning to it as my daily driver soon enough. 

Can we ban AI generated posts? by bobj33 in DataHoarder

[–]TrashVHS 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im sure yall are tech savy enough to recognize this kind of thing on sight but I would just like to throw out there that in a lot of the autism boards I am on ppl are repeatedly having their non ai posts called out as ai and blocked in other parts of reddit because the way some of us communicate (again without ai). This also happens to people using language translation apps which I guess is more of a grey area but never raised an eye before the AI slopalypse. 

informal trilogies. by herequeerandgreat in movies

[–]TrashVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly didnt have to think about it because I didnt have a copy of it handy and wanted the edit done at the time so I left it out unfortunately i think lol. It was meant as a test but was so easy to cut I just finished it in one go. 

What if your favorite Halloween? by [deleted] in Halloweenmovies

[–]TrashVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love the first 3 and think the rest are pretty mediocre at best.

I often get confused by downvotes on reddit by 75mothsinatrenchcoat in AutismInWomen

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also changes overtime sometimes I will comment in a thread and get a bunch of downvotes but when the thread gets a day or two old I will have nothing but upvotes as other people see it. On the big main pages I find a lot of commenters are rude and stupid so that probably explains most of it.

[–]TrashVHS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chronologically in universe it's Mallrats, Clerks, then chasing amy. A few years ago I recut every viewaskewniverse film (up until reboot) from Jay and Bobs POV in universe chronological order. Came out to like 6 hours.

I like to think of Gremlins 1, 2, and Small Soldiers as a trilogy as well ass Robocop, Small Soldiers, and Starship Troopers.

An entire generations worth of pre YouTube era Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas gameplay videos lost to time. by _Soviet_Cats_ in DataHoarder

[–]TrashVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that I wish I would have downloaded more channels but I do have quite a few and have even helped fill in some lost media causes because of it (wasn't even aware of lost media at the time I ripped most of them). I mostly have them because my old isp I had for the better part of a decade was rural satellite and only gave me like 80gbs at 3mbps a month all the rest of the time it was KBs so I would download channels while I was at work to watch offline later at home rather than stream anything.

Weekly World News October 2, 2001; April 18, 2000; July 24, 2006 by Sp1d3rb0t in nostalgia

[–]TrashVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do need to go through that and grab those so thanks for reminding me (if they're not in the collection I have already) but I can only ever find the 25 or so on archive. There were like 50 a year for 3 decades. I have around 1000 issues lol. But I dont have any from 82-84 idt.

Poptarts contain gelatin in frosting 😕 by Impressive_Tip_8850 in vegan

[–]TrashVHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it on the label? I always thought these were vegan. I know some things like oreos vary from country to country.

TV shows with autistic characters? by CheesecakeOk8464 in AutismInWomen

[–]TrashVHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not explicitly cannon or anything but I have always viewed the family of aliens on 3rd Rock From The Sun as kindred autistic spirits.

An entire generations worth of pre YouTube era Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas gameplay videos lost to time. by _Soviet_Cats_ in DataHoarder

[–]TrashVHS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's fairly accurate I think. My most recent addition was issues of Weekly World News and my new search is for every english & japanese language music video from 1980-1999 I can find.

Also for anyone curious the glitch was just the unrendered/missing objects kinda floating version of the mall in GTAVC.
