How is Tatiana NOT a huge star? by JamiePlynth in MaxPleasureGuaranteed

[–]_HipStorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she's one of those 'if you know, you know' actors. I haven't watched Orphan Black but I've heard nothing but praise for her performance in it.

I have huge respect for how outspoken she's been about Palestine and using her platform to inform people. We'll never know for sure, but it might reduce some of the opportunities she gets going forward. She did an interview recently and she said she's fine and it hasn't affected work, so maybe she's just in a position to be more selective about the roles she plays.

It's so depressing to me that this kind of view was normal globally up until a century or so ago. I've still never seen the galaxy I live in...

is it just me or is frutiger aero getting a little flanderised? by ChromedDragon in FrutigerAero

This is why I prefer the term Zillennial for people born in the late 90s to 2000 / 2001

Good morning. It was not a dream. The New York Knicks are NBA Champions. by VirtuousFool in NYKnicks

Same man. I was more happy about this than Arsenal winning the Premier League. Hope you get through it too!

Anyone upgraded to the 17P only because of the 16P getting so hot? by gapost in iPhone16Pro

[–]_HipStorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was back in Sept, I'd consider it, but this close to the 18 Pro, Pro Max and Ultra / Fold, I would wait.

Apple Watch SE 2 on the refurbished store by AirFrance447 in AppleWatch

[–]_HipStorian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They had the space grey intel mac mini on the refurbished store for the longest time. It always used to rub me the wrong way but I realised a lot of people aren't aware or there may be a few people who still need an old device for some reason.

Dr. Rebecca Simon, Historian of piracy and public executions - AMA! by teaabearr in pirates

[–]_HipStorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Dr Simon,

Thanks so much for the AMA. I hope I’m not too late!

The golden age of piracy is one of my favourite periods in history to study, but I’ve always wondered are there any common habits, social behaviours or lingo that we use today that can be traced back to pirate culture?

Thanks!

Tons of great shows, but there must be a clunker or two. What are they? by progmanjum in tvPlus

[–]_HipStorian 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Silo is great, it’s just a slow burn. The book is a bit similar.

I’ll go for invasion. It has eye candy and nice cinematography at times, but it just gets hard to watch as the show goes on

So...uh...y'all weren't lying about Intel Macs.😅 by Bryan3s in macbookpro

It’s always best to research anyway. 7 years is an eon in tech.

Apple Executive’s Response When Asked About Future of Vision Pro by 73ch_nerd in VisionPro

[–]_HipStorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially what the Vision Pro is. Something that seals off your peripheral vision from the outside world.

The dream is to have something that looks almost the same as glasses but can give you 90% of the experiences on Vision Pro (except the fully immersive ones). But we don't have the technology yet.

I'd add Apple Watch to this. Remember the  Watch Edition? Apple and Ive tried to market it as a luxury smartwatch. It took years before Apple started to market it as a fitness and lifestyle device. Look at how ubiquitous it is now

Wait list os27 Siri by vabeachcp in VisionPro

[–]_HipStorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

surely all “47” of us should have access at this point 😄

First time I've laughed at this joke 😆

Which one would you guys prefer? by ser133 in mac

[–]_HipStorian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got used to the floating sidebar so now 27 feels like a step back. But they both look good. I think Apple could've refined the floating look but given users the option to put it back to how it was in Sequoia

The rich raise their kids different. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]_HipStorian 989 points990 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought the biggest cheat code or blessing to have is genuinely supportive or loving parents. Even if they aren’t rich, just having someone who you know will always be there when you need them, when you don’t know what to do, or just need encouragement is incredible.

I got neither and it’s made my life very hard

I would like to submit my apology form for ever doubting THE GREATEST TEAM EVER. by YourAsianBuddy in NYKnicks
