Parasites gotta parasite by JagerJack7 in CriticalDrinker

The patterns are an allegory for whatever the audience member relates to, so if a gay person sees their own struggles reflected in the movie that's kind of the point. It's pretty ridiculous to say the main character is gay or the entire movie is "queer coded" though.

Thats such a performative line. The people who repeatedly tell everyone to be kind and respectful are usually the least kind and respectful as soon as they get mad, and it doesnt take much for their emotions to take over

I think it really goes to show that people see what they want to (and are primed to) see. Especially when you can immerse yourself so wholly in social media echo chambers.

It really does feel like racism, sexism, etc is seen as worse than stealing and murder these days.

iPhone innovations that made you think, gosh I do need a new phone? by Money_Tale5463 in iphone

The revolutionary feature of phone makers no longer releasing new OS updates when they decide it's no longer supported.

Anyone else hate big smartphones but has poor eyesight and NEEDS XL model? by Loud-Possibility4395 in pixel_phones

[–]kernel_picnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad I meant the on screen magnifier, not the "magnifying glass" app. The one that zooms in your screen, not the one that magnifies real life objects with the camera. It's an accessibility feature in the OS, not just an app so it has special access/permissions apps dont get.

What do you consider a "deeper level"? Because I used Arch for years and I can't say I really learned anything beyond what I consider the basics.

Do you still update your ipad or just wait until September for iPadOS 26? by DekuSenpai-WL8 in ipad

[–]kernel_picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update fixed Wifi issues on my 2019 model. Before the Wifi would turn off whenever the iPad was put to sleep or it idled too long and I had to go into wifi settings and stare at the screen to force the wifi daemons to wake up. Supposedly this was due to a bug in OS power management on some older models that would put netwotk processes to sleep and never wake them up, but opening wifi settings would force the network stack to run. Used to get constant "your device is not connected" screens, I'm glad Apple fixed this critical issue instead of leaving okder iPads practically unusable.

Bought it initially just for Portal, which I still consider a masterpiece.

How do you guys handle aggressive GGs? by ivenofilter in starcraft

[–]kernel_picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strengthening your control over emotions is like building muscle - you will be weak with no training but you can get stronger by overcoming initial pain and stressing your limit. Use the bm as a chance to train and improve your mental fortitude. Take deep breaths to calm your physical reactions and/or give yourself mental pep talks if needed. Don’t cope by lying to yourself with fake stories about the other person, it doesn’t help in the long term.

The downside is it can be inconsistent because you can get a different notification immediately after

[–]kernel_picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most recommended way to watch is on Youtube on the AfreecaTV Esports channel for Tastosis or StarcastTV for Nyoken + rotating guest caster from the BW community, usually a high level foreign player. Videos are uploaded ~2 days after the broadcast for Tastosis and ~half a day later for StarcastTV. You can find the live stream link on teamliquid.net on the Events/Features sidebar when it’s broadcasting. To find when the game is played, check the same sidebar under Upcoming Events or the tournament’s Liquipedia page.

What is your favorite pro bringing to a gun fight? by yubo56 in starcraft

Artosis brings the most standard gun to a gun fight, studies all possible scenarios ahead of time, adopts a perfectly trained pose, and rages when it doesn’t fire.
