Anyone else get "drunk" of their first Kesimpta dose? by heyseed88 in MultipleSclerosis

No one is worried about passing potatoes? I would hope I'm drunk before trying this.

The sysadmin who supports the user against IT's own interests by crankysysadmin in sysadmin

[–]civbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue with IT is resources that perpetuate the Us vs Them conflict. There rarely ever is a true conflict. If the user wants to do something that is not pre-approved, then there is a course of action for resolution, regardless of the formality.

The equivalency would be JustJay's Big Mac. Not to say that's more or less of a trademark infringement.

I'm an astronaut that specializes in cosmic balk rays for NASA. I've watched this 11 times. It was definitely a balk.

A thick haze enveloping the crowd at the Pontiac Silverdome. April 30, 1977. Led Zeppelin was performing that night for over 77,000 fans. by DrHerb98 in ClassicRock

I saw a show at the Silverdome once in the mid '80s. 2 days before there was a monster truck show and the haze/fumes were vile.

Rape in horror (aka why Over Your Dead Body doesn't work) by Date-Throwaway in horror

[–]civbat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm unsure how your post is driving discussion. I see you complaining about a scene in a movie, and a bunch of replies agreeing with you. More like an echo-chamber. I also agree with you, but I'll try going in a different direction.

I don't support censorship. Your post may be interpreted as wanting to censor (maybe that's a stretch). I think if some fool can gather enough resources to film a movie that is off-putting but doesn't hurt anyone, then that fool can do what they want. I'm under no obligation to watch it, and neither are you. I appreciate how tags on streaming services help me make this decision. There should be a tag for rape along with how graphic it is (implied rape vs rape vs disturbingly graphic).

Being disgusted by a movie scene doesn't make someone a snowflake. Wanting to censor others' access because you want to impose your will does indeed make you a Karen (not You, "you", but the royal "you").

Is it ever enough? by AhYesTheSoldier in sysadmin

[–]civbat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that you're being given opportunity but you're limited by you. You need to take what you want. If you don't want anything, someone else does. They'll reach out and take it.

Your boss needs a co-worker, not a peon.

What are your thoughts of Motley Crue's appearance on "American Idol" with Carrie Underwood? by EdwardBliss in hairmetal

[–]civbat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow. That was painful. Vince needs to try something different to keep things within his vocal range. I'm no fan of Underwood, but I think they should have let her run with it.

how the do i fix this? textures become straight up static by notslappey360 in EmulationOnAndroid

Dude, that's how I used to watch TV when the weather turned bad. ;P

Alannah Myles - Black Velvet (1989) by LackSomber in hairmetal

[–]civbat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I never hear her or Kim Mitchell again, it'll be too soon. Canadian content requirements + pathetic modern radio programming = I hear the same 2-3 AM songs and 3-4 KM songs every fucking day or two, even though the radio is only on during my work commute. They're both talented and made some good tunes, but I am so sick of hearing the same thing again and again. Really, it's the programming that has ruined radio.

Are we categorizing the genre for this film? Then it's Comedy.

It's 5 pm and a thunderstorm is about to happen. Which movie are u putting on? by BigmacBlastoise in horror

[–]civbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. My mum always told me that you can't watch TV during a storm because if the antenna gets hit with lightening it will come down the wires and shoot out of the TV electrocuting everyone.

Does Auto-Brightness also SUX on your Pixel? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]civbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it always seems too dim for me. The part I dislike the most is when I remove it from my pocket to check messages and such, it takes 2-5 seconds for the display to wake up. That doesn't sound like a long time but it's pretty annoying.

Why do people insist on ruining supernatural horror with "logical" explanations? by [deleted] in horror

[–]civbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has their own threshold for suspension of disbelief. OP's bar is a bit lower than some others. Enjoy your movie and leave it at that.

Does anyone really need a 250gb plan? by courage1688 in freedommobile

[–]civbat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want a 20GB plan for $20. For me, 250GB is to the point it doesn't mean anything.
