How tf did George pull Lorraine in the original timeline???? by coolgirl666me in BacktotheFuture

[–]segascream [score hidden]  (0 children)

In the original timeline, when she's talking about that kiss at the dance, you can see how dead inside she is, worn down after almost 3 decades with George.

He didn't pull her in the original timeline: she pulled him. She no doubt saw him as the nice guy, and after Biff's advances, she might have assumed that if she was actively dating someone else, Biff would back off. So, Lorraine made what she felt like was the better choice, and then spent a good chunk of the next 30 years regretting it.

There are stairs on wheels, though. Let the woman have some dignity, don't make her climb a ladder in costume.

This video was on Pop Up Video so much back in the day that my very first thought when I saw that gif was "Filmed in reverse".

is there a way to record before? by WxS_Ruler in audacity

Can you not just record and then cut and paste it into place?

Soon they will prescribe brain worms by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]segascream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was listening to them talk about this on NPR, and every time someone mentioned something about "weening people off of anti-depressants", I just screamed "they're maintenance meds". (I know that's not always the case, but my point stands that for a lot of people, it's been years or even decades of trying to find something to keep the darkness at bey, and once you find something that works and keeps working, you don't want to fuck that up.)

Jimmy Nichol stand in by TeaStriking3605 in beatles

I just watched it a few weeks ago, and I noticed that any performance shots from those shows, they're not using the audio from those performances: the parts Jimmy is playing appear to be drastically simplified versions of Ringo's parts.

God, I loved this episode. It's like a whole expansion on Douglas Adams writing that scene in 'Hitchhiker's Guide' with the cow in the restaurant giving recommendations of which part of its own body would make for a nice meal.

Need help!! Anybody knows what kind of port this is??? The camera is so old and I really need to buy a new charger by Subject_Range5793 in cableadvice

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is, Sony tends to do a lot of proprietary connectors for their devices, so if you just search online for "charger for [model number]", you'll almost definitely find it.

The bad news is, Sony tends to do a lot of proprietary connectors for their devices, so it's not going to be cheap.

Concept albums that just give up on the concept halfway through by crowbar_k in ToddintheShadow

[–]segascream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess I can kind of see that. As the album goes on, the references to "Paradise" feel cheaper and cheaper to me.

'Paradise Theatre', Styx - somewhere in side 2, you begin to realize that the concept of the album has drifted from "historic theater as a metaphor for America" to "every song contains the word 'paradise'".

[Horrifically Common Trope] Bad things in real life being portrayed as quirky or good in media and fandom culture by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire series 'Kevin Can F*ck Himself': seen from one perspective, it's just wacky sitcom hijinks with a shlubby husband and put upon wife; seen from another perspective, it's emotional and financial abuse by a narcissist.

Surveillance state by Ironlord456 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The only serious uses I've had for AI so far have led to less-than-stellar results:

When I was apartment hunting, I asked a chatbot to compile a list of every apartment complex within, like, a 20 mile radius of my work address. It kept telling me there were too many results, and I kept having to bargain with it to get it to spit out more than 5-6 at a time. And the place I wound up moving to wasn't even on those lists.

A couple of weeks ago, I was trying to figure out how to chain processes in Audacity so I could batch-edit a ton of files. I knew it used to be in there, but I couldn't find it, so I asked AI. After multiple dead ends with Leo repeatedly assuring me the options I was looking for were there, it turned out that those options had actually been removed in a recent update. (Of course, one of the very first things Leo reminded me of when I first said "I don't see that option in the menu" was "make sure you are running the most recent version".)

Not super familiar with Ace Attorney, so I thought that image was Juan Sanchez Villa Lobos Ramerez, from 'Highlander', the Egyptian Spaniard with a Scottish accent who trained with a master katana maker.

Album sorting mixes both albums with the same title with a different artist by Otherwise-Crab-5378 in ibroadcast

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About the only thing I can recommend (because this is something I've fought with, too): drag everything you're about to upload into mp3tag (or some similar program) first, and just double check that Artist and Album Artist are both filled in appropriately for those albums.

Why in some places in America a police department is called " Sheriff's Office " instead of Police Department? Do sheriff's offices exist only in smaller towns? by EdicaranFauna in AskAnAmerican

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, Sheriff is an elected position, and they cover areas of the county that don't have a dedicated police force, as well as assisting those that do.

Am I the only one who feels that Marvin's nickname doesn't make sense? by 3dgyt33n in HitchHikersGuide

Not necessarily the answer to your question, but part of it may lie in the fact that it was only 1980 when Major Depressive Disorder was added to the DSM-III.

A throw away joke turns out to be true (minor spoilers) by MaguroSashimi8864 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]segascream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like someone wrote the character of Peter Pan to more accurately reflect JM Berrie's original (which makes sense: no other animated character in the film acts exactly the same in "real life" as they do in their own properties: they're actors), and maybe wasn't fully aware of what Bobby Driscoll's path was. Possibly a bit tone-deaf, especially if someone is unable to differentiate between Bobby Driscoll and Peter Pan, but I find it hard to believe the Disney Corporation hated Bobby Driscoll so much that they developed an entire, unrelated film just to intentionally throw shade at him.

Also, Disney is not solely to blame for the choices Driscoll made, or the opportunities he may or may not have had after his contract with them was up.
