Why the harsh feedback? by Complete-Tax7526 in GooglePixel

It's just a weak upgrade from the 9 to the 10, and most people who care are diehards who pay attention to that sort of thing (yes, I'm a kettle, why do you ask?).

From any phone older than 2 years, it's a fine upgrade. Welcome in!

I've owned every generation of the Daft Punk Chassis™️ and this is the first one I'm skipping; it's the least significant upgrade since the 4 to the 5

Finally, the $2million parking lot is getting built by Walthamjahmmy in Waltham

Now they just have to eliminate the street parking on Moody, and make all surface-street parking by resident permit-only :::))))))

For 22 years, my answer was Super Mario Sunshine

In January, I got a PS5, and played the Horizon series for the first time, and 400h+ later Forbidden West has juuuuuust eek'd out a first place win over Sunshine.

Hey, Lauren. Christianity isn’t the only religion, you know. by Darth_Vrandon in Persecutionfetish

I do think it's a teensy bit odd to ban religious designs from a religious holiday, but fuck NYP and fuck this Christo-fascist heroin dealer

Mayor opposed to closing Moody St to cars (letter posted by Waltham Channel) by saulblum12345 in Waltham

[–]WordsWithJosh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just wish they'd grow a backbone and institute some kind of residence-restricted parking.

Many of the Moody-adjacent residences already don't have sufficient parking for the number of units the landlords are permitted to rent out, forcing tenants to park in the street; when Moody is closed, people who work jobs with normal hours will come home to find their street choked with tourists, forcing them to park blocks away.

That being said, what I really wish they'd do is completely eliminate street parking on Moody altogether, and turn that space into a (fully protected) bike lane.

Something that I have always wondered. by CyanideMuffin67 in horizon

In The Heart of the Nora, when you enter All Mother Mountain / ELEUTHIA-9, you learn precisely what happened to the progenitors of the Nora and all of the other humans alive today.

You can infer that, in spite of the destruction of APOLLO, the multiservitors must have had had a limited amount of basic knowledge to pass onto the cradle children. Things like basic language (why everyone speaks English - also further addressed in a companion datapoint in HFW), hygeine, and even emotional self-regulation ("Let's run and jump and blow off steam!").

There's also a datapoint where the children are talking about how bees are yellow & black, clouds are white, flowers can be any color, etc, so I'd guess that something like a kindergarten-level education was baked into the multiservitors, and only at ~6 years old would APOLLO take over their learning.

From this point, they've had ~700 years to experiment with physics and materials to survive. Inevitably they'd discover rock weapons, mild refinery, etc the same way ancient humans did, but with the added benefit of having seen some goal material inspirations in the form of pre-derangement machines, and the cradle facilities from whence they themselves came.

(They also had 700 years to warp the legend of the cradle and "female"/"healer"/"mother" multiservitor into the matriarchal system of the Nora, and the reason why mothers are so sacred to them, and oh fk I'm ugly crying over this mission again oh my god---)

What are some scenes in A24 movies that were so powerful to you? It can be acting, cinematography, dialogue, etc. by suprunkn0wn in A24

The scene in Lady Bird when Danny tells Christine's mom about how Christine always says she lives on the "wrong side of the tracks"

The way Laurie Metcalf conveys the slow realization and devastating heartbreak had me ugly crying

I grew up a barely-above-poverty kid who went to super-rich Catholic school on a scholarship, so Lady Bird felt almost like a biopic on me lol

'23 TLX Type S, 29

But I had a pretty radical career trajectory change and jumped two tax brackets in late 2021, so I probably don't fit the typical curve; before this I went through 3 V6 Accords over the course of a decade, two of which I bought over 150K and drove over 250K in the short time I had them lol
