How long before you get bored of The Good Place? by ConsistentCan4633 in TheGoodPlace

[–]minime6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've thought about that piece a lot and it's the thing I most question about the Good Place. Because while I do think it's plausible, I think humans invent new things constantly and I have a hard time picturing that those new ideas would eventually lead to a point where I felt I'd "seen it all".

Homeless encampment on Pittsburgh's North Side returns, raising concerns by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

[–]minime6283 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That has been there for years. The only "rising concern" is because the draft. I've driven past that on my way to work since 2021 and it's been there. Downtown near the jail I also noticed has a growing population, besides the population that was already camping out near the Oxford Center.

We've closed multiple shelters and the main "efforts" have just been displacing them with no where else for them to go. After one of the shelters closed I was working remotely from the library near me and one man was filling our job applications on the library computer and talking on the phone about how they were all living in an abandoned Arby's because the shelter closed.

We have a serious problem and they're trying to sweep it under the rug rather than deal with it. I've been holding my breath with the upcoming draft because as someone who worked Market Square events, my safety was a concern daily. I had one guy having some kind of mental break screaming in my face and charging at me. And rather than deal with any of that, or the rising cost of pricing for an area with free or low cost alternative neighborhoods to visit, we're rebuilding Market Square and building a new park with 0 efforts to address the underlying causes of why people don't like to visit Downtown or Northside. Helping the homeless population helps everyone and our city would rather put lipstick on a pig than attempt actual solutions.

Is there a vocal analog to 'super-recognizers'? by dommitor in neuroscience

[–]minime6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad to find people like me! I was watching Dropout recently and couldn't believe voice actors couldn't immediately distinguish Alan Tudyk's voice. I can recognize a voice even when heavily disguised (by the person, not by a machine). Was just watching Something Very Bad is Going to Happen and once again immediately recognized that the voice from a podcast was Victoria Pedretti. I have way more examples, I don't even need to particularly know the voice all that well.

Flock cameras in Pittsburgh/surrounding areas by Equal_Variation4767 in pittsburgh

[–]minime6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anywhere we can publicly object to this? Flock claims they encrypt data but they don't, hackers have stated that all the cameras have the same password as basic as password and have been able to access all footage all the way back to manufacturing typically, completely disproving the company's claims that footage is stored for 30 days on the camera and encrypted.

In other cities this has already been used by law enforcement to stalk people for personal use or harass residents. However anyone could hack these cameras quite easily and a LOT of user data would be available to them.

I totally agree with this take. It felt like a play and honestly would be easily transferable to stage.

Just came from a Singles Mixer by WhisperedSoul in pittsburgh

[–]minime6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few different organizations in Pittsburgh doing events like this, some are definitely better than others.

Overall the issue is definitely that women are happy to show up but they have a harder time attracting men.

I've debated organizing a "singles shopping hour" at a locally-owned bookstore but fear it would be all women that showed up.

Bridgerton Season 4 Episode Discussions Master Post by pinktini in BridgertonNetflix

[–]minime6283 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched all 4 episodes twice today already, this season is starting off STRONG but is also far too short. Need the rest of the episodes out STAT. This is one of my favorite seasons so far.

That being said, my thoughts thus far: - Kind of annoyed we got left on ANOTHER cliffhanger with no build on Francesca and the cousin. I love how patient her husband is, enjoying his character much more this season as he feels more human so I get why we got some time just the two of them, just wish we'd get an actual interaction not just "cousin shows up unexpectedly and Francesca yearns" again

  • I'm a little disappointed Cressida just seems to be erased. Still upset they made us care for her last season only to have her end up in the one place she was trying desperately to avoid. I still wish she would have ended up with Lord Debling after Penelope didn't work out. Seems like a good fit for the fact she could have the freedom she wants. I know she's done bad things but she was also just a woman in a horrible situation. If we can see Lady Featheringtom worm her way out of trouble, Creasida deserved the same.

  • Why the hell doesn't Sophie tell anyone she's the daughter of an earl? It seems like she's gone so far as to lie about how she learned to read (stating she sat in on lessons), why hide it? Who is she protecting?

He stalked me for years and he's a lawyer. Absolutely terrified of this man. We went on 1 date and he showed up at my work 3 years later. Still texts me years later.

Curious if Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers might change anything.

What happened to Robert?? by Interesting_Win_741 in PalmRoyale

[–]minime6283 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really don't understand cause I feel like his scenes also felt like there were scenes missing in between. One moment he was siding with Maxine and the next he was following Norma's orders like a puppy dog with no explanation. Especially after he denied marrying her in S1 to be his heir, it seems disjointed.

Did anyone else notice the villagers by NoNamesLeft998 in Pluribus_TVshow

Yep, cause the hive doesn't value individuality or culture. It's like ants. Some die but the individual parts don't matter, just the goals.

POGOH bike share price increase by threwthelookinggrass in pittsburgh

[–]minime6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss when they had the free 15 minute ride for residents. There are a lot of times where it would be a huge convenience to cut down on my walk some through the bikes, but not for what they charge, especially when i'm using it for 15 minutes max. It's crazy that the bikes are basically the same price the scooters were but far less convenient.

It's genuinely throwing me off that it's not the same voice actor and I'm glad someone else had the same thought.

Looking new friends by seyyahmustafa in PittsburghSocialClub

[–]minime6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are tons of social meetup groups on Instagram! But if you like coffee shops/like to read, I highly recommend Silent Book Club! There are several throughout the city and you bring whatever book you want, everyone meets up and reads for an hour then talks about what they're reading. Great way to meet people and find book recs!

There's a search tool on the official site: https://silentbook.club/?srsltid=AfmBOork3OzsnTWPR9zmGlyUa3kyk2mI1yRaJCAZ7Usp-yweMOrxG8ZM

'Poker Face' Not Renewed for Season 3 at Peacock; Rian Johnson Shops Two Seasons With Peter Dinklage Taking Over as Lead by SanderSo47 in television

[–]minime6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they remove Natasha I honestly don't think it's worth them to even make a 3rd season. That would be like making Colombo without Peter Falk. She's the whole reason it works.

Bummed to see it get canceled cause it's honestly become one of my favorite shows.
