What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

NightAuthor,

Though, I wonder how much of it felt like “corny cliches” and “cheap shock” 43 years ago when it came out.

NightAuthor,

Well i think it’s stupid that we need that divisiveness

NightAuthor,

And I never said you said it was a good thing.

NightAuthor,

Jk, I can’t hate something I’ve never done. I understand that its expensive, and often consists of short bursts of fun followed by lots of waiting. I’ll probably give it a go once.

NightAuthor,

And what if I hate skiing ?

NightAuthor,

Yeah… but having some pride (warranted or not) is good motivation to help build and maintain things.

NightAuthor,

Wait wait wait wait wait….

So is it propaganda or not? The second portion of that definition (or is it a whole second definition?) is quite a bit more vague.

NightAuthor,

I think there aren’t as many places to ski around Portland, so the ones that do exist are packed, I’ve read consistently that most of the time, you’re waiting to take the lift, waiting to do your run, and then back to waiting for the lift. But if you don’t have a 9-5 you can get out there when others are working and its great.

Also, $100 for a day of entertainment is a splurge. I have a decent income and probably only spend that much on a day-activity once every quarter or 2.

NightAuthor,

Definitely agree, but according to a recent video, his girlfriend is a privacy nut (said with respect) so idk if he’s gonna get any better. Next thing we know there’ll be two of them in the videos.

NightAuthor,

In Firefox, open a couple of tabs, snap the window to the left, now drag a tab to the right and try to snap it to the right edge.

Now do that same thing w a chromium browser

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

NightAuthor,

Weird, I wonder what the issue was. I’ve not had this happen to me with Spotify. Did w Zune back in the day, bc you had to connect to WiFi or a computer every so often to renew the drm license

NightAuthor,

I think if more people took that path, pirate only when you actually have a problem, much less content would be cracked and piratable.

Imagine OP and someone who is capable of cracking a software both bought and used this app, then 3 years later the app stops working. OP goes to look for a crack, but one doesn’t exist because the person who would have made it happened to stop using it before they had a need to crack it. So now OP is just boned.

So I say, always pirate everything and do so asap. And then obviously, if you want things to keep being produced, you should probably support the creators.

NightAuthor,

Idk if you meant to, but you came across really rude. Anyway…

You’ve got a point about creating but not using the cracks, that does leave the question of when it’s ethical to release it. Immediately for those with region locks or whatever that prevents them from normally acquiring it? Wait till it’s no longer available anywhere? Try to region lock your crack?

Also my comment was not advocating for stealing, it was advocating for ensuring your ownership rights asap after purchase.

NightAuthor,

I’ve lived in 3 other apartments without this particular issue, noise yes, but not like this. Also, it’s not just walking… they literally don’t stop moving for hours straight. It kinda sounds like they are walking laps around the entire perimeter of the apartment, we have the same floorplan and I can clearly hear them moving from room to room to room. I’m honestly curious what they could be doing.

NightAuthor,

I thought maybe for a second, but then I remembered the incredible consistency of their gait, their footfalls sound like a very angry metronome when they’re going, though with frequent seconds-long pauses.

NightAuthor,

My confrontation avoidance is pathetic, I’m working on it in therapy along w my generalized anxiety and other things.

But on the other hand, loud neighbors is a common issue in apartments, whether intentional or not… and idk, I just automatically try not to make a shit load of noise out of courtesy. Though, I’ve just recently learned that that behavior may be a byproduct of anxiety.

Also, it’s not as if I named and shamed them. There’s virtually no details about them at all.

NightAuthor,

Unlikely disabled, because they move quite swiftly. It’s been months, so unfortunately not one off.

NightAuthor,

I just keep thinking about how I’d do it, I’m so confrontation averse. Bc we’re in a mid rise, I don’t even know who they are or what they look like, which is another variable to add to my anxiety about such an interaction.

Last night I was thinking, what if I left myself a reminder to write them a note when I’m not actively aggravated, and just left it in their mailbox. /shrug

As noted by another comment, it’s kinda pathetic

NightAuthor,

Maybe it’s a bigger person thing to be so cognizant of our walking noise. But I deliberately walk a bit different around my apartment to make less noise and be courteous to my neighbors below.

NightAuthor,

That sounds wildly unpleasant, unless they had some amazing soundproofing

NightAuthor,

Yeah, and you’re just pushing your own moderate agenda, but I’m not buying into your rational thought bullshit.

NightAuthor,

Hmmm… this gives me an idea… OCR image-text filtering. I know apple has a powerful on-device api for it. I wonder if google does too.

NightAuthor,

I mean, they didn’t even put it in meme format… BOOoOO!!

NightAuthor,

Pacific Northwest is open to all, you don’t even need a home, just pitch a tent.
