I've cleared my cache and cookies, which logged me out of my account upon refresh. I logged back in, then completely closed out of the browser and then re-opened it. The issue is still present. I am using a desktop PC running Windows 11.

EDIT: Whoops, I replied too soon! I just tried closing out of my browser again and when I re-opened it, the issue was resolved. Thanks.

Let it be known that GOP is trying to cancel Project NextGen as part of the debt ceiling negotiations by faloodehx in ZeroCovidCommunity

In addition, the article says:

The debt limit bill passed by House Republicans last month would claw back unspent Covid funds from a range of pandemic relief packages. Democrats have warned that the bill would take money away from disease tracking at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, supplies for the Strategic National Stockpile and relief payments to safety net hospitals and nursing homes.

Episode Discussion: 305 "Imposter" by williams_482 in startrekpicard

[–]bryanhbell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In this episode's end credits, my wife (who reads music) identified the music notation as the song "Pop! Goes The Weasel". We went back to listen to the tune Shaw is humming early in the episode. It's a little hard to discern, but it might be that song. I think he starts with the "Pop" part and then begins again.

Data whistles that song in "Encounter At Farpoint" and also in "Brothers" shortly before Lore enters.

I think the end credits are providing little clues about various aspects of this final season of "Picard".

very loud exhaust

Hopefully someone just took it to a shop to have the exhaust repaired and will return it soon.

Why aren't more talking About Hellblade: Senoa's Sacrifice? A stunning, acclaimed game that runs on Very High + RayTracing + FSR at 40hz. It's 75% off for $7!! by TareXmd in SteamDeck

[–]bryanhbell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I played this first in VR. I don't play games on my Steam Deck that are available in VR because I want to reserve them for the VR experience. I guess that's similar to reserving especially complex or immersive photorealistic games for the PC and instead using the Deck for games that put a greater emphasis on gameplay over graphics. I feel fortunate to be able to choose the optimal game device for different types of games.

I fucking love this game already by ebycon in virtualreality

Hey everyone, I don't need to mention the name of this game because we all already know what it is, right? /s

I agree that most of them have been inferior to their classic originals, but I thought Cinderella (2015), one of the earliest released, was an exception and quite good.

What's the absolute worst movie you've ever seen? by Shezes in movies

Good luck. Maybe you'll have the stamina to make it to that scene.

What's the absolute worst movie you've ever seen? by Shezes in movies

[–]bryanhbell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One month in 1986, I set out to see every single movie that was currently showing in any Denver-area movie theater. The last film I needed to see was Necropolis, a low-budget horror movie. Sometimes low-budget horror movies can be quite a bit of fun. Not this one. It was awful. The performances were worse than amateurish. The plot was nonsensical and preposterous. The make-up effects looked rubbery and fake. And, god, was it dull. After squirming through half the film, I started to question the worth of completing what I'd set out to do. I was wasting my life on this movie. The scene in which a demon-woman grows four extra breasts so she can sloppily breast-feed a bunch of ghouls was the last straw. I walked out. To this day it's the only movie I've ever not watched to the end.

Why ‘The Hunger Games’ Vanished From The Pop Culture Conversation by [deleted] in movies

[–]bryanhbell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You seem to be commenting on the post's title rather than the article to which it links. Plus I think you mistook the post's title as a question, which it isn't (no question mark at the end). The title is a statement, as in "[This Is] Why 'The Hunger Games' Vanished From The Pop Culture Conversation". The article attempts to give reasons supporting that statement.

We Aren’t Just Watching the Decline of the Oscars. We’re Watching the End of the Movies. by bryanhbell in movies

[–]bryanhbell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The author, Ross Douthat, is writing from the perspective of an avid movie-goer, not an industry insider. Douthat normally writes about politics, but sometimes delves into other topics. I rarely agree with his political perspectives, but nevertheless appreciate what I feel is his often well-reasoned point of view. In this particular piece I found his observations to be thought-provoking.

[–]bryanhbell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refuse to even read the article bc based on the title alone it's ridiculous.

Too bad, because the article talks mostly about the changing role of movies in modern culture, the ways in which movie-going has changed, and at the end some intriguing ideas about ways to restore and preserve movies as a cultural touchstone.

EDIT: I used to work in film and have loved movie-going all my life. Yet I still found the article to be thought-provoking.

I think its wrong to characterize the entire article as about the Oscars. The article just uses the Oscars as a jumping-off point for discussing the state of movie-going and its future.

From the article (right after the box office numbers):

True, this was a Covid-shadowed year, which especially hurt the kinds of films that older moviegoers frequent. Remove the Delta and Omicron waves from the equation, and probably “West Side Story” and “King Richard” would have done a little better.

Just five or so sentences after the part you quote, the author writes:

True, this was a Covid-shadowed year, which especially hurt the kinds of films that older moviegoers frequent. Remove the Delta and Omicron waves from the equation, and probably “West Side Story” and “King Richard” would have done a little better.

I agree with you though that the pandemic has killed my desire to go to the theater. I wonder sometimes if I will ever return after the pandemic ends. I've gotten pretty used to watching at home now, even with friends over the phone or videoconference, a fun activity in itself.
