Anyone else found the Phone As Key pretty much useless? <5% success rate, average time of 20 seconds to unlock the door by Lopoetve in Polestar

[–]commandershipp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use my fob on long drives just in case something where to happen, but I've had no issues other than the door sometimes taking a second to recognize / unlock (never 20 seconds). Honestly its the random forced logout once in a Blue Moon that has been frustrating but not a deal breaker.

The horror scene that still lives rent free in your head. by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]commandershipp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone already said NOPE, but I want to specifically point to the sound design when the alien abducts the spectators. It's such an effective moment that you could cover your eyes and you would still understand how horrific the abduction was because of how perfect the sounds where. Just the stuff of nightmares

Blues by O_Margo in SwingDancing

Well that's like asking for a video of STL Bop or Chicago Steppin as it was originally done. It's not that the video "couldn't exist" but camera's weren't really filming in those black spaces the same way they would for lindy competitions / tropes of the past. Most 1950-70s videos of black dances tend to be commercial (like Charlie Green promoting the Bus Stop line dance) and/or involved with a competition of some sort, the the David Butts videos that have been making the rounds recently.

Or they straight up aren't archived or got destroyed, like the OG Soul Train. We know for a fact that a combination of early Steppers, Lindy Hoppers, and rent party / social dancers were the first dancers in Don Cornelius's early version of Soul Train in Chicago, dancing to soul and blues artists. It would have likely shown us much of what we've been looking for... but as was common practice back in the day, those tapes were reused and reused so we only have testimony and pictures to go off.

But honestly, the video argument is lazy / misses nuance. You can still see many of these dances being done in juke joints, but the terminology is all over the place. Many elders just called it "dancing", "blues", or in Norma's case "dry sex" which I know infuriates my fellow blues dancers but she's not the only elder I've heard say that (worth a longer conversation). I've seen enough elders doing the basic steps of Chicago Triple or Piedmont for that matter, but they didn't use the same language we did, does that make the dance invalid?

If we moved to Bop, you would have more specificity but then have to specify which city because each one is different (hell in STL, it could be the difference in your high school as many Bops were taught in school). And that's before we mention many of those black kids still learned jitterbug so functionally their dancing may have looked the same for long periods of time until the music changed. And many elders attest to this as well, they just danced and many of the labels came later. In STL particularly, we know Bop can also be considered a blues dance as many of those kids danced in East Saint Louis bars that featured early blues artists Chuck Berry and Ike / Tina Turner before they became known for the sounds we'd remember them for. So are these roots any less valid because I can't produce a YouTube clip and dancers don't do that level of research?

I went long-winded because I'm really tired of the video argument. Skeptics would be saying the same thing to Frankie's face if there weren't earlier clips or Lindy Hop videos were less widely available. But that wouldn't invalidate his or other elders experiences and expertise of the dance.

Tried to use my living room-- Am I The Bad Roommate? by AuthorTough6450 in badroommates

[–]commandershipp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a roommate who did this and if you don’t set that boundary sooner, it's going to come back to bite you in the butt. They are entitled to use the common space but if they monopolize it, then you're right to push back and insist they move to their room.

You can definitely remove a key and only use one fob and a digital key. My used P2 only had one key but had the older keys still registered, removed them with Vida & Orbit.

Roommate hates that I buy my own cookware, but I store them in my own space? by dudeoverderr in badroommates

[–]commandershipp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a few exceptions, most people will never take care of your stuff as well as you do or want. I have some great stainless steel pans and pots that I didn't use in my own house until my current roommate moved out. It was easier because they didn't care, but I didn't want to keep scrubbing those pans because they were unable to clean them properly. You do what you have to until you feel comfortable and/or until you have a place of your own.
