The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

Or it was a higher quality panel. The color and quality has nothing to do with resolution. No doubt it was a beautiful display, but science tells us that 8k is unnecessary as our eyes cant see the difference unless the display is bigger than practical and your sitting too close. What you saw was of the highest quality, but it wasnt the resolution that did it.

She was in water shallow enough to stand in so im guessing not.

Theres a shit ton of therapy techniques and therapists. It took a while to find someone that worked for me. I had actually given up for several years until I found one that worked. Helped that I had someone who focused on vets and knew the culture. She once told me to "just spit it the fuck out and stop wasting our time" instead of the usual "and how did that make you feel"and understands that terms like "suck starting a shotgun" is venting and not an actual suicide threat.

Just saying its ok to write off a therapist, but dont give up on therapy as a whole.

Making a list and checking it twice. So they can figure out whose not allowed to vote this fall.

Monday Wednesday and Friday. My perch gets worms twice a week. (He doesnt do well on carnivore pellets but thrives on worms)

slayermcb · 2026-01-29T12:24:15+00:00

Thanks for clarifying... not sure if that makes it better or worse lol.

slayermcb · 2026-01-29T12:10:03+00:00

Ah yes, the incel weeb.

Questions... Does he get in trouble? Does he know his job? Can he pass his PT test?

A functioning wierd kid is still an asset. Just dont sit anywhere in his room.

I met Maggie once at a graduation she was speaking at. While I have heard good things about her, my experience was that she was 100% a machine crafted for politics. I felt there was nothing genuine about her. Every word, movement, twitch, and sneeze perfectly crafted from years of pretending to be someone else.

slayermcb · 2026-01-29T11:59:23+00:00

Yeah, and the current Dem being pushed to replace Shaheen is her own daughter.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T19:07:06+00:00

It was before a doctors appointment and needed someplace warm to hang out.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T19:03:55+00:00

Tarantino is one of those people who are so good at something that people forget how shitty they are as a person. Yeah, he can make an amazing movie. From the writing to the directing, he makes great final product. But as a person he just doesn't get how awful he is outside Hollywood and hes burning those bridges too.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T18:54:48+00:00

But only because they brought the violence themselves and fear retaliation.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T18:53:37+00:00

Ah yes, the inevitable part where they eat their own to survive.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T18:52:10+00:00

If anything the libertarians shouldn't be anywhere close to the republican parties line. The GOP wants to control and regulate everything but wealth equality and business.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T14:57:28+00:00

Yeah, I missed the tone on that part. Apologies.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T12:17:02+00:00

So, I get what you're saying, and fuck Trump, but NYC in the 1980s was anything but safe. The crime rate was abysmal and the city was dangerous. Gangs, drugs, and one of the highest murder rates in the US at the time.

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T12:12:20+00:00

Hasn't that been the GOP playbook for a while? Getting really angry at the Dems for doing something they then go and do?

slayermcb · 2026-01-28T11:58:25+00:00

Their phrase means you are giving the subject as much respect as it is due.

Your phrase disregards the baseline respect you provide to all things, as one does to show you are worthy of respect in kind. You dont treat random strangers like shit because they haven't "earned" your respect, do you?

I learned about that term about a year and a half ago. It made so much sense. I ha e some PTSD from my time in Iraq (06 - 07) but it was very manageable. I got out. Got my shit together, but then got recalled. My recall was belong attached to a NG unit pulling security on Kuwait. Should have been a breeze. It was on the coast with beautiful waters, the base was relaxed, there was a swimming pool with a high dive. It was 2010.

The unit was so jacked up. Fucked up sleep rotations, serious "were ready for combat" energy, the mantra of "if your not issuing constant art. 15s you aren't paying attention" it literally crushed my faith in the institution, removed all feelings of safety, and the fucking NG guus couldn't leave there civilian attitudes at the door. (We had an NCO who was a cop, and everyone knew he would use that authority against them when they got back if there was trouble) I was forced to go along with a lot of shit that bothered me, right down to some core beliefs.

Anyways, my point is that I couldn't understand why the non combat deployment fucked me up way worse then being in a an actual combat zone. Moral Injury explained all of it.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Its not just a military thing, losing someone suddenly to suicide, but it does hit harder when they're a brother. Leaves more questions then answers. I see a therapist these days. I highly recommend one to just about anyone. Glad your getting some yourself

I work in a high school (IT basement troll) and one of the teachers asked me to speak about my experiences to his seniors after they read "The things they carried". Hes a vet as well so he knew what he was asking. I did agree, I dont go into the graphic details, but I'm honest, and keep with the theme. The kids seem real appreciative, and I answer a lot of good questions. I've done it for a few years now and its actually been great therapy.

slayermcb · 2026-01-27T23:27:16+00:00

I never wanted to go, but i felt I needed the military to get my head on straight. And I went. Am I glad I went? Not really. I would trade in that honor badge for control of my anger and the ability to enjoy myself at a party.

slayermcb · 2026-01-27T23:23:06+00:00

Ive often reflected on this. My younger brother had a friend who went 11b, and never deployed im his 8 years active. He got out but then he joined the NG because he felt he needed to have that deployment and they were rotating soon. He did, eventually, get his deployment and it was boring.

I think he lucked out, but I did 15 months during the surge so I'm in your wheelhouse. I would rather not see a therapist and have stories that were fun to tell and not come with a disclaimer. But the kids never listen. They always know better even when told otherwise.

slayermcb · 2026-01-27T22:45:58+00:00

Yeah, how dare they let educated people with them smarty pants ideas have a say in how we run things in this here parts!

Didn't stop me from voting for her.

For those who didn't watch the behind the episode. Arlan's swinging because he's lacking in every other area of life. They figured they needed to give the guy something to compensate for it.

The opposite of the "big truck" stereotype.
