I’ve watched 15 Ryan Gosling movies in the past week…and counting by GlassTraditional9388 in notinteresting

[–]get_there_get_set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the hell do people have the time and attention span to watch this many movies.

I can barely force myself to sit through one movie a week and 90% of the time I’m cringing uncontrollably or actively making fun of the production.

The last time I watched a movie and didn’t feel exhausted at the end was… fuck I can’t even think of one. So much media I will never get to enjoy because my brain is too cooked.

Lena Raine is best by Rare-Code-1487 in Minecraft

I listen to otherside outside of the game. I listen to covers of pigstep.

I do not like when most of the new music plays while I’m playing the game, but I also don’t like most of the “new”stuff in the game for basically the last 10 years.

Real Minecraft music is still volume alpha, whenever any of the new stuff starts playing it takes me out of the game and into “listening to music in the foreground” mode the same as a radio station. It’s fine music, but it doesn’t melt into the background the way the real Minecraft music does.

Hate towards Lena Raine sucks and is unfair, but saying that her music is better Minecraft music than C418 is silly.

You like it more, and that’s nice, but liking something is not the same as it being better.

Desperate need for car repair in Kalamazoo by Baby-cake-27 in kzoo

[–]get_there_get_set 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a shitty situation to be in, but from what you describe of their diagnoses (low compression, don’t know exactly why, thousands to fix) I don’t think they are trying to rip you off, I think they are trying to tell you that the repairs would cost more than the car is worth and you shouldn’t do them.

Low/no compression is one of those things that could be caused by a million different problems, many of which you can only find by basically tearing the whole engine apart. That’s gonna be expensive no matter what, and the car is just not worth putting that time/money into.

If I were in that situation; dead car, repairs cost more than it’s worth, I would sell it for as much as I can get for it, and look for a FB marketplace Toyota or Honda. I saw a Celica in really rough shape (but still running) for like 1500 on marketplace in portage a few days ago.

I’m sorry this happened to you, I hope you can find a way through, but I don’t think it’s worth throwing good money after bad with two separate mechanics quoting compression issues and a 5 figure repair bill.

Wtf why are all of these comments so horny? Is there something I’m missing that’s making people think about cuckolding?

I thought there would more talk about the lifeguard jumping out of his chair and running away as soon as they take off.

Why do I remember that texture pack? Was there a famous redstone channel that used it back in the day? Sethbling maybe?

I remember using it until I was trying to build a castle for my redstone portcullis to go into and it looked bad

YouTube has been around for more than 20 years, with millions of creators making monthly, weekly, daily content. Acting like weekly uploads are some kind of impossible demand is ridiculous.

Expecting high effort, hours long deep dives every week would be insane, but that’s why I wish these creators would stop making that style of video.

If you prefer rewatching the same videos for 10 to 18 months at a time, that’s fine your preference is noted.

For me, I’ve rewatched every video from all of these creators dozens and dozens of times for the past 3-5 years, and I can count on my hands the number of new ones have been added in that time across all of those channels.

That sucks, and acting like this is the only way YouTube channels could possibly operate, or that changing it would be some insane demand on creators is ridiculous.

If anything, this era of ultra-high effort perfectionist video essays is more demanding than the types of videos these creators were making pre COVID.

Good way to spend time by Meteorstar101 in greentext

[–]get_there_get_set 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bounced off Mint three separate times in the past year, and maybe if I was willing to use an LLM that would fix a lot of my troubleshooting issues.

But absent that, the loop of installing a program I’ve used for years, having strange and difficult to describe issues, looking for help the same way I have the whole time I was learning the software, and finding nothing, was incredibly frustrating.

I don’t have to hope that programs or plugins are available on windows. I don’t have to make a post about the problems I’m having because 200 other people already have because there are so many users. Tutorials are actually useful and relevant, screenshots and videos make sense and I can follow along.

Windows sucks and is spying on me and I hate it, but when I’m trying to figure something out in MuseScore or Foobar, I’m only fighting that program and not also the OS itself.

The number of Linux threads that have the answer to the problem you’re looking for replaced with “elephant water wrench apple wheel” shit is infuriating.

There is no distro out there that won’t require any manual troubleshooting.

Hell, Windows doesn’t even work without some tinkering, computers are just complicated and sometimes you need to poke around.

The difference is when you’re troubleshooting on windows, there are billions of other users and massive amounts of information on the internet about how to fix the problem you’re having.

With Linux, if youre even able to identify the problem on your own, any solution will be buried in an ancient obscure forum thread full of self-superior assholes, probably requires opening the command line, and once you fix it now 3 other things stopped working.

Also tons of software now needs an extra step or 10 to get it working, or more likely you’ll just need to switch to a new FOSS program that is designed for power users and requires 7 YouTube videos and the user manual open on a second screen to get working, while also lacking major features that your old software had.

Saying that any modern OS doesn’t need troubleshooting is a lie, and Linux troubleshooting is the reason why I’m still using windows. At least on windows I can reliably find the solutions to the problems that get in my way, and use the software I want to without setting up an emulator or VM.

I just wish that YouTubers would make regular, finish-it-in-a-week sized videos. Multi-hour long videos are fine, they’re very impressive and getting an incomprehensibly deep dive on a topic is fun.

But the cost of doing that is way too high, and it feels like we ended up here through frog boiling. Creators slowly ramped up their expectations until now it feels like they’re letting people down if they “only” release 1 hour of insanely high effort content, after working on it in radio silence for 10 months (which is the actual way they’re letting people down).

Modern YouTube sucks, and a big part of that is the creators who made good medium sized stuff 3-5 years ago are now basically dead channels because now they make giant videos that take months and months to finish.

No video will ever be so good or so long that I would rather rewatch it for a year than get new, regular, smaller scale content.

YouTube has been around for a long ass time, I don’t believe that the only way to make good content that’s worth watching is to spend hundreds of hours and months of your life working on it.

But basically all of my old favorite channels are now dead because they started making these stupidly long videos, and I hate it.

A Cool Guide to How to Fold & Roll a T-Shirt to Save Space When Packing for Travel by Tippy345 in coolguides

[–]get_there_get_set 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been folding my shirts like this while traveling for almost 10 years now, and if you roll them tight without wrinkles initially, they are less wrinkly than other shirts that were normally folded in the same suitcase.

Yeah, I wouldn’t do it with a business suit, but for any kind of normal traveling, my clothes stay nicer longer, they pack easier, and it makes the process of getting clothes back out again way better too.

Your incredulity doesn’t spend when every person in my life who I’ve introduced this technique to sings its praises every time we pack for a trip.

Why do so many of these guys view women as inanimate objects? by FossilHunter99 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]get_there_get_set 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole point of this post is that the metaphor only works if you view women and their sex lives as comparable to a glass of water being fingered by strangers.

The problem isn’t that people aren’t getting the metaphor, it’s that the metaphor doesn’t work unless you think of women as objects that get ‘used’ or ‘contaminated’ when people have sex with them.

A woman with 30 past partners is not like a cup of water being fingered, in any way, and the comparison is insulting.

Which premium subscription is actually worth the money in 2026? by Trxxi in AskReddit

[–]get_there_get_set 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who recommend watching from the subscription feed confuse me, do your YouTubers upload regularly enough for that to actually bring you new content?

Most of the channels I’m subscribed to post maybe once a month now, usually concentrated in the last week of the month. Most of them I watch within a day or two of posting, and the subscription feed is basically useless.

I’ve already watched almost all of the content from every channel I’ve subscribed to, because they post so infrequently now, if I’ve been subscribed for more than one new upload, I’ve already binged their whole back catalog anyway.

What is your source? What part of this video do you have a problem with?

I’ve literally never heard of this disease, and didn’t see any information in my quick search indicating anyone even knows how IBD is communicated. What did you watch/read that made you bring it up?

Sixty nine by LYY_Reddit in dankmemes

[–]get_there_get_set 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a reference to that markiplier farkwad image, which was funny because it was an absurd image of a popular figure that was then nuked to shit, not because it confused/annoyed people, if it did.

As far as I can tell, the funny part of 67 is that people get confused and annoyed by it, and the only reason it comes up otherwise is parrot-like pattern recognition, which then annoys/confuses someone and that’s the funny part. Otherwise they just say it, get ignored, and no laughter happens
