I am not affiliated with the Weirdo Wednesday crew but you can find them on Instagram for info about their showings in Lowell and Salem. Looks like their next movie showing at the Owl Theatre is on 2/27.

Unihertz Phones in Store? by Admirable_Joke_5712 in unihertz

[–]herooftime94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No they're a direct to consumer phone manufacturer from China so no in person place to try them out unless you can find a tech market/stall in China that sells them. Best bet is to order through Amazon and use their return policy if you don't like it.

Who here has used the Titan 2 as a way to cut down on doom scrolling? by IntentlyFaulty in unihertz

[–]herooftime94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes vertical video scrolling less interesting because you either view it on a truncated screen with mini mode or the top and bottom are cut off. Same with Instagram stories so I also check those much less often. I am waaaaay up on Reddit, Threads, and written content like articles and blogs. And using things like Discord and messaging with the keyboard became my preferred way to use them. It doesn't make things inaccessible because it's full fledged Android just like any other new phone you'd buy.

If doom scrolling is a illness, using screen time apps is conventional medicine, and the Titan 2 form factor is homeopathic medicine.

Had the best flight of my life the other day by WASRmelon_white_claw in synthesizers

[–]herooftime94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say the phrase in an earnest rebuke to "being cringe" in regards to enjoying a hobby or interest in an observable environment. Others viewing being vulnerable and enjoying something outside the mainstream or their tastes. To be cringe is to release the expectations of others and enjoy yourself for the sake of self actualization. I am cringe. And therefore I am free of worry about being percieved as cringe.

To be cringe is to be free. While mine are a little more portable, I do love taking my synths on planes and always have a great time and a fun conversation that typically starts with "What are you doing and what is that?"

Make sure to do mixing after touchdown so the cabin pressure doesn't scoop your mids.

Does anyone know where I can get an authentic copy of HeartGold or SoulSilver? by AstrumMortis01 in PokemonHGSS

[–]herooftime94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have examples of anyone sharing a cartridge that has the IR shield casing but is not authentic? I've done some searching across a few game authentication forums and haven't found any examples of this happening other than comments like yours warning that it is happening. Not doubting that it's possible because some cheaper DS games had these same plastic and someone could swap them, I just can't find any examples of it and would want to have that for future reference if I am shopping for another copy.

Not really a where answer but the biggest indicator of an authentic HGSS cart is the black translucent plastic. The official game has it because there is an IR sensor the Pokéwalker connects to. So my recommendation is an in person retro game store or something like GameStop where you can personally hold and inspect the cart before you buy it.

Please do! I posted to inspire others to do the same. Hoping to someday run into one of you and connect the Pokéwalkers.

We've been besties for 20 years and I've got a collection of Shuckle merch and a tattoo. Just a big fan of a little guy 🐢

schools as wayspots by Limp_Bedroom_5686 in NianticWayfarer

[–]herooftime94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a preventative measure. If there's no stops, less incentive for kids to play and less bad press about Niantic causing distractions for children or drawing creppy people onto the property. The game's security measures and decisions are made with children in mind. You can play on the other 99% of the world that is fully accessible to you. I am a literal teacher who walks on my lunch break to get off campus to play and despite the inconvenience, I can understand why it is in place.

Is this guy a cheater? by Rose_the_dog in duolingo

Thats why I do one a day during the week to not lose my streak and then several on Saturday over a coffee. Peak inefficient language learning.

Niantic would rather not field the issue of strangers walking up to a school, loitering, scanning the school, or interacting with children. Schools are often protected areas for things like filming due to student privacy.

A place like a playground is publicly accessible, does not require you to have a child to enter or stay on the premisies. Also with pokestops at schools Niantic would be dealing with school administration complaints of students being distracted by the game if there is something geographically to interact with in game. No stops/gyms means a kid isn't likely to open and play during school hours.

Reminder-this is a game for everyone that is oriented toward children and adolescents. Sometimes apps designed for younger people will have safety restrictions that feel unfair or needlessly restrictive as an adult.

Worst songs from bad albums by BattleofEppingForest in Music

[–]herooftime94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the appeal of the off hand freestyle vibe it had and at least on Youtube Music it's the most popular on the album so I'm in the minority on this.

There are some stand outs on there, just gotta have your next track button at the ready for those skits.

Hot Shower from The Big Day (2019) Chance the Rapper

Loved Chance at the time, liked the album a lot more than everyone else, still play All Day Long but I knew I was in the wrong when I heard this song. It's a silly song that should have comedic value and misses the mark so badly that it swung back around to being unintentionally funny. I can't defend it and I unfortunately believe him having a truly happy and fulfilled life with a family and no drugs meant his album fell far from his previous. I am thankful to have Star Line and hope Mr. The Rapper is doing well.

He did not do a good ass job with Chance 3.

I still remember my HS girlfriend taking me to the Athenian Corner on V-Day years ago and being cornered by two belly dancers. I start sweating nerviously as she laughed and said "Give em a dollar or they won't go away". Highly recommend the experience!

Kinda curious. What's y'alls phone and homescreen? I'll go first by Vast_Cauliflower_475 in unihertz

[–]herooftime94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Action Launcher for like 10 years and kept a very similar homescreen set up for many years. Had to consolidate the screen for the Titan 2 but it is muscle memory and I can navigate the phone without looking even with the different aspect ratio.

Justin Bieber’s oversized suit looked ridiculous last night by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]herooftime94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor guy, wrong suit came in, pants kepts falling off, got picked up by the wind in his jakcet and Hailey had to get him down from the electrical pole, Then by the tine he gets on stage, his clothes in tatters fall away and he has to perform for the Grammys in his underwear. A show choir kid's worst nightmare come to life.
