BonesOfTheMoon, in What do you like about liberalism, capitalism and conservatism?

Not one blessed thing. Conservatives are psychotic morons, liberals are boot lickers, and capitalism is destroying the world.

fubarx, (edited ) in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Xiao long bao (aka soup dumpling). Also, made from scratch Tonkotsu Ramen.

Tried making them both. So much work.

Predestination and 12 Monkeys.

tenchiken,

They seriously need to give the people behind Predestination more monies…

12 monkeys always great.

roamic,

I liked the short story that predestination was based on more. But movie was still good.

tslnox, in What's your automatic vacuum's name?

Don’t have one, but if I had, it would be either Kryten or Scutter.

Pyrozo007, in What are some uBlock Origin filters you're using to make the internet nicer to use?

I didn’t know this was possible, god damn I would love it if there was an add-on specifically for stuff like this, which you could then toggle independently of adblocker.

There is. Install ViolentMonkey (an open source Userscript Manager) then install Userscripts of your choice -here’s a few for for Reddit.

cerevant,

Sinkit for Reddit does the job on iPhones. It isn’t Apollo, but it makes the web interface usable.

scytale, (edited )

Does the old.reddit redirect work? I installed sinkit to try it out but it still loads the mobile interface even with redirect toggled on.

Edit: Nevermind, it worked after restarting. Thanks for the recommendation.

Shelena, in Corporate Censorship Bring You Here?

Not just corporate censorship, also all the other stuff they were doing. I do not want to be used and manipulated and made addicted just so some business can make a little more money.

perspectiveshifting, in What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

Air fryer taquitos has been a big one for my house! A million times better than the premade freezer ones and not much more work if you have a protein cooked already or as a leftover.

I base my approach off thisBut I have used all sorts of proteins instead and it’s always a great meal.

sarchar, in What are your dental hygiene tips and hacks

Avoid as much sucrose as possible. It is the #1 cause of tooth decay.

rosymind, (edited ) in What's the consensus on swearing here

Every other word (not literally) out of my mouth is a curse word, so much so that I feel less of a need to use them here. Plus every-once-and-a-while peeps take my rando opinions far too seriously. So, (to compensate), I try to be more polite than I would when actually speaking

stewie3128, in What do you like about socialism?

It’s one of the better -isms currently available.

Workers owning the means of production is the way it should be. Until we can mature further.

u_die_for_elmer, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Pre-destination. It’s like the grandfather paradox… But different.

tenchiken,

Best choice.

Can’t believe noone mentioned Primer

noroute,

I heard about it but never watched it. Is it good? What is it about?

reversebananimals, (edited )

Its very good. Its a low budget indie film. Its about two unremarkable engineers who work on toy projects in their garage accidentally discovering a type of time travel similar to the movie Looper. The film follows the realization, experimentation and ultimately the downfall of the engineers due to the power of their own discovery.

Primer is famous for being extremely complex and hard to follow. The characters speak in real engineering jargon, and there’s constant time travel paradoxes happening in the background which you don’t pick up on without multiple viewings.

If you like being intellectually challenged, its great.

Should also be mentioned that the director is a massive POS, which is why I don’t promote the movie even though I like it.

noroute,

Thank you, director been POS never stopped me from watching or liking the movie/show. I don’t even care for most ratings or reviews. There were many times when rating or review was bad but i loved watching it.

@magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

Sometimes I wonder if horrible people can be great storytellers because their outlook on life is so different from our own. That doesn’t excuse or justify their behavior, but still, I wonder.

noroute,

From my personal experience watching some POS directors/writers content sometimes they can better than good once.

SpaghettiYeti,

What’s up with the director?

JohnObvious,

1st I’m hearing of this too.

triptrapper,

From Wikipedia:

From 2011 to 2018, Carruth was in a relationship with Amy Seimetz. The couple became engaged in 2013. Seimetz obtained temporary restraining orders against Carruth in 2018 and 2020 and a permanent restraining order in 2020, citing years of domestic and emotional abuse and harassment. Carruth has denied these allegations.

On January 13, 2022, Carruth was arrested at the home of another ex-girlfriend on allegations of domestic assault and vandalism. He was released four days later on a $50,000 bond.

w3dd1e,

Came here to say this. That movie is fantastic. And it was made for basically nothing. It’s so smart.

50MYT,

They begged borrowed and stole everything to make the movie, except spent $8000 to rent lights to film.

They then went on to make $20m at the box

Bdtrngl, in What brand/model of pants can you recommend?

Docker’s, Carhartt and Dickies pants (not jeans) have all held up to my factory job.

Ejh3k,

Dickies really are underrated. I’ve worn them for years doing landscaping full time in the Midwest. I think I had a pair that lasted six years.

Are Levi’s available in Europe? Honestly the best jeans I’ve ever had… I cycle with them almost daily and they’re still going strong.

neidu, (edited )

Yes. But I did happen to stumble across its Denizen line about a year ago when I was in the US and in a Target. I really liked them, so upon another visit this summer I bought three additional (identical) ones, as I’ve not seen them here in europe.

I am the least fashionable person in existence, and I 100% prefer function over form. And the Denizen is by far the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever owned.

Archeologists be digging up wearable Levi's 2000 years from now

Ejh3k,

Placed there by Producer Ben of the Blank Check Podcast

juja,

I am confused. I thought the OP was asking about pants, as in underpants and people are suggesting jeans. Is this just a misunderstanding or are there actually jeans underpants ?

CaptObvious,

Dialect difference. Brit pants = US underwear. US pants = Brit trousers.

juja,

I am aware of the dialect difference… was just wondering if there really is such a thing as underpants made of jeans material … that sounds comfy to wear at home.

CaptObvious,

Ah, sorry. I jumped to the wrong understanding of your question.

Now you mention it, that does sound kind of comfy, similar to soft flannel.

awwwyissss,

Babe, have you seen my junderwear I can’t find it anywhere

Coherence,

Made me spew tea out of my nose, bravo!

rekabis,

Definitely a fan of Levi’s, especially the high-waisted models. I intensely dislike the feeling of my pants being about to fall off, so low-waisted is out. The 516 is my favourite, although I also have 541s, 501s, 505s, and 550s.

jabathekek,
@jabathekek@sopuli.xyz avatar

The ones I have are 531’s. I wish I could afford another pair rn, oh well.
