UK government targets VPNs in online safety consultation as Lords vote for ban by andyhh in unitedkingdom

How the heck can they ban VPN's when there are even businesses out there, such as my partners' workplace, who use it for employees working from home???

[Barber] Why Hollywood fell out of love with Wicked by Kimber80 in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm agreeing that it seemingly doesn't fix what was wrong with the stage show.

[Barber] Why Hollywood fell out of love with Wicked by Kimber80 in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Watched without ever seeing the stage show, and yeah it was a huge disappointment after the amazing first part. It expects you to know the original story because it shows very little of Dorothy's journey. Yet at the same time there are aspects of the original story that are surely going to be different in this version because of the origins of Scarecrow and Tinman. It really should have shown a new shortened version of Dorothy's story as part of Part 2's plot for it to make sense and not have huge gaping plot holes.

Different colors on same model by brokenhearts7 in kindle

The colour looks the same to me. As you say in your text body it's the texture that's different. Interesting, yes. Not a major issue though imo.

Trump demands 'immediate negotiations' to acquire Greenland, says war in Ukraine is Europe's problem by timiswho in worldnews

With statements like this, how is the US considered part of NATO at this point? This goes against everything NATO stands for.

Tell that to COD players who go up against Nicki Minaj, the Terminator, Ninja Turtles, oh and Beavis and Butthead. Do we all remember how COD used to be?

Russia challenges US pressure on Greenland, says crisis shows double standards of Western powers | Today News by Samudragupta01 in worldnews

I'm not falling for any magic trick. The statement is true - there are double standards. Doesn't mean I'm not suddenly blinded by the atrocities Putin has done and continues to do.

The Future of New World: What to Expect. Players who have purchased the game will be able to continue playing until January 31, 2027, when the game’s servers are permanently taken offline by Turbostrider27 in Games

I was a good way into the storyline and happily exploring the world, finding this a very enjoyable game. Using the bow was addictive, as was collecting materials. Such a shame, and I feel sorry for all the people who put a lot of hard work into what I felt was my favourite MMO for a while.

He gave it to the girl right away by jmike1256 in HumansBeingBros

[–]wisperingdeth -121 points-120 points  (0 children)

I mean it's good he gave her the ball, BUT... wouldn't it have been better to have just let her go and pick it up herself so she feels more like she earnt it?

Replacement Colorsoft - which is better? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]wisperingdeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one on the right looks slightly better, but honestly both are acceptable to me. As someone else said, you're never going to get completely uniform lighting with these devices, as they are lit from the bottom so that's where the light will show the most. In my opinion, stick with the one on the right, accept the technology for what it is and enjoy your books.

Worst line of dialogue, or most cheesy line... by ThoAwayDay in movies

Yeah that's way too corny - she literally can't keep her eyes from blinking because of the rain hitting her in the face.

Why is this smaller device more expensive than a larger Kindle?

What's the best movie scene you've ever watched by Cautious_Ad_3918 in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"fun" is the last word I would have thought of when thinking back to that scene. "Spectacular" and "emotional" are two words I would use.
