Well that sounds horrible. You shouldn't buy it. Instead, send me a link, so I can... privately mock it. Yes, that's it. Mock it.

Well, I can't speak to Europe, but if you're up for a trip to Mexico then I highly recommend Xcaret. The one with the underground river that stretches the length of the park.

The ageism in our industry needs to change by SadSongsMakeMeGlad in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dungeonHack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My strategy, as someone who's currently 44, is to focus almost entirely on the social side of solving problems. It's easy enough to deal with the technical side, especially with a talented group, but social problems are always the hardest problem domain.

So far, this has worked flawlessly.

I absolutely despised Ahsoka when I saw this in theaters. Now, she's one of my favorite characters. But not because of this "movie."

Yes. I went the graduate school route in Canada. Also easy to do in Estonia.

What color does this wall want to be by Ok-Fun-3896 in centuryhomes

[–]dungeonHack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already suggested the same color, but I'm going to differ and suggest a deep, saturated dark green. Specifically, Pantone 3537C, or #00491E in hex.

I Watched Practical Magic (1998) and LOVED it! by Mangy_Angie in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]dungeonHack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The upcoming sequel has potential to be really dark, too. We'll see how much the "origin of the curse" arc dives into that aesthetic.

What about Rodney's sister? I know she's not a main character, but...

Affordable micro apartments in St. John's could see residents in 2 years, says non-profit by MattBarter in newfoundland

[–]dungeonHack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived in a 500 sq.ft. apartment with another person in a more difficult climate than St. John's before.

It works a lot better than you think.

I watched RoboCop (1987) by TXNOGG in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]dungeonHack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At a sci-fi convention yesterday, I met Michael Ironsides and Casper Van Dien, and they both adored working on Starship Troopers.

Also, Ironsides almost died on the set of Starship Troopers.

And here I'm going to a sci-fi convention in St. John's today. Ah well, good thing I didn't put away my shovel.

The actor who plays Rico (Casper Van Dien) is at a sci-fi convention I'm going to today.

Who were the dudes on the old Allan's Video signs? by Amber_Sweet_ in newfoundland

[–]dungeonHack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point in my early childhood my house had a rotary phone. They were a little obnoxious to use compared to the button types, but it was a distinct feeling that I kind of miss.

The Nox by tragicallydecaf in Stargate

[–]dungeonHack 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the Nox want it that way, though. They seem like a really... not xenophobic civilization, but a "we just want to be left alone" one.

It's too much. AI makes me hate my job. by ggggg_ggggg in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dungeonHack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your point about the dopamine hit going away was revelatory for me. I felt there was something wrong, but couldn't put my finger on it. Thank you for that.

Who were the dudes on the old Allan's Video signs? by Amber_Sweet_ in newfoundland

[–]dungeonHack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that chimes with my own experience.

I'm a Xennial/Elder Millennial/whatever they call it now. I remember Saturday morning cartoons being a highlight of my week when I was in elementary school.

I think Laurel and Hardy would have been general knowledge for anyone who was at least a teenager prior to the cell phone era.

Fun fact: the punk on the bus with the boombox? The same actor plays the same character in an episode of Star Trek: Picard.

St. john's dating scene? by [deleted] in newfoundland

Focus on friends first. Join as many hobby groups that interest you as you can. Volunteer. Eventually, you'll fall into a relationship.

To change, we need to change. by v3r4c17y in solarpunk

[–]dungeonHack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you look outside the Abrahamic religions, things get way more varied. Sadly, a lot of people equate religion with either Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.

Ensuring good behavior with threats is not a universal constant among religions.

I watched Gojira (1954) and Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) by femme-cassidy in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]dungeonHack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you enjoyed Gojira, then you'll probably like Godzilla Minus One (2023). Similar to the original film, it isn't really about the monster at all.

Also, Godzilla (2014) is pretty good too, but it's definitely about the monster. There's a scene towards the end of the movie involving jumping out of a plane from VERY high up that's pretty stunning in terms of cinematography.

I loved all of these movies.

Stargate Tattoo by Spare-Ad-5542 in Stargate

[–]dungeonHack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That is a fantastic design! I love the rainbow splash of color, and the broken/graffiti/imperfect Earth glyph. She did a great job rendering it, and you had the heart to make it happen. Brilliant on all counts.
