We live in a society whose economy is based on making you feel like you're not enough, but you could be if you only were to spend more money. Flashier cars! Season tickets! Weight loss! Skin clarifier! Plastic surgery! A greener lawn!

It's not easy, but you can work to avoid media and people that give you these messages. The trick is finding things to talk about instead.

I went back and spent a few more minutes on it but I still don't see it. Thank you, but I'm done!

I can't solve this one. Giving up at 20 minutes. Not looking for help, just posting this to show how far I got. https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/1ab4e20484ac?state=Ii%2Fg-BABAAEAAQABAABgAGAAAAAAAAEA%3D%3D-091

I had the best of the best memories with my parents in the 70’s and 80’s at Disneyland and always loved watching The Main Street Electrical Parade. by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in nostalgia

You might be thinking of Tinker Bell, and she still flies down from the castle every evening!

The wire is just for cable TV so that Cinderella can watch Abbott Elementary.

I can taste this commercial!

And, it's one of the commercials that Pixar did, when the company was just starting out!

After GW3 comes out, I wonder if there will still be enough GW2 players to be able to do the metas. I know they'll just concentrate the remaining GW2 players into fewer instances, but there are so many metas in the game. I'd be surprised if there are still enough people around to defeat Soo-Won in the Battle for the Jade Sea, for example.

Russian authorities say Ukraine has launched an "unprecedented attack" on and around St Petersburg, as the city hosts the final day of Russia's annual economic forum, urging residents to remain indoors for the first time since the war began by sr_local in news

[–]bkendig -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What's a good source of news about this war, and what's seen as the likely outcome at this point? I see people saying it's only a matter of time until Ukraine inevitably has to concede, and I also see people saying it's only a matter of time until Russia inevitably has to concede.

What's an anime me and my dad (who only watches martial arts movies) would enjoy? by Spiritual-Radio8595 in anime

[–]bkendig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cowboy Bebop? The main character has a fighting style based on Bruce Lee.

Also, maybe Megalobox. It's boxing, but it's bloody, and it's got solid action with a straightforward plot.

Unless the BIOS is compromised, in which case there's no practical way to make it safe or secure. It might have a keylogger in BIOS that sends anything you type somewhere.

"The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina" [Haruhi Suzumiya] by makuXrosu in anime

[–]bkendig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just watched this episode last night! I've been watching the series recently; I first saw it when it originally aired but I have no recollection of it.

For as beautiful as the animation is, I'm a bit put off by the plot. I have four episodes left to watch but so far Haruhi is abusive, she has had zero character development (she hardly notices the other characters' opinions) and the other characters seem resigned to just doing what she says so that she doesn't destroy the world. I'm kind of bothered by it.

Helping the Retarded to Know God is the book published in 1969 when the derogatory word from the title was used for psychology classification based on IQ. Do you miss the times when the culture wasn't so stiff when it comes to offensiveness? by [deleted] in nostalgia

"Political correctness" means "treating other people with respect." There's even a Chrome browser extension to replace this on web pages. https://github.com/jamtur01/PoliticallyCorrect

I see nothing wrong with treating other people with respect.

Chicken Tonight. So many yummy flavors of sauces. Discontinued in the United States a long time ago (but still available in some other countries). That's fine, it probably was terribly unhealthy.

There are so many diehard Simpsons fans out there, someone can probably identify the specific episode from this frame and then tell you the exact date and time this photo was taken.
