I think I need to watch that movie a second and third time. The first I wasn’t expecting the journey from a little guy finding success movie trope to literally being an insane bad guy, with a fucking brilliantly nuanced acting job by DDL. All of the layers went right over my head until the closing credits like…… oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Super interesting too visiting the oil exhibit at the Kern County museum…knowing that PT visited it developing the ideas…and seeing the modern day oil fields, pipelines and smog everywhere around the San Joaquin valley now.

I literally grew up there and never thought much about it. I need to watch it again.

Been a while since I’ve seen it but a movie called “A Day Without A Mexican” where rich assholes and middle class white people lose their nannies and field workers picking their food. I believe it was a dark comedy but like I said been a number of years since I saw it…

What is the least shit online store of the shitty ones? such as: Wish, AliExpress, etc..

What is the least shitty shit store? Never had a good experience with any of the shops such as, wish, aliexpress and the rest of em. But which one of them is considered the better one, or more likely to actually arrive with the correct item? Is etsy considered better than the rest? Are there any of these “low priced” stores...

I’ve gotten stuff from Wish and Temu that is fine. Flashlights, tweezers, microfiber cloths, $10 wireless earbuds. I even ordered several pairs of shorts from Temu that were $8 to $10. They aren’t very durable but they function and look fine.

I ignore 100% of the gamification shit, I very much doubt you can get much that is free or a better deal…when it comes down to it they sell cheap shit for a small profit margin and that’s it. Spinning the wheel and inviting friends and having a shiny app is all just a fancy skin for the exact same stuff as on Ali, Wish, and eBay.

Maple bacon scented candle. It smells alright…I’ve gotten bacon scented/flavored stuff in the past that was awful. Back in the day my sis in law got me bacon flavored marshmallows that made our entire apartment smell like ass. Had to throw them away.

I call mine Robbie because it’s a Roborock and it’s the laziest name from there 🤣

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

For the longest time I thought this was the way all 4K tvs looked so I avoided getting one. It looks horrible.

Old iPods are coming into fashion because even younger folks are wanting something like this.

I would consider buying a refurbished iPod classic on eBay. Simple and elegant. User friendly. Do you really need the Bluetooth part?

@mysoulishome@lemmy.world avatar

Are you wanting to put songs in wav or flaac Format or something? I feel like a decently size used iPod wouldn’t be a whole lot more than $100 and 100 GB could hold 10,000 songs in high-quality 320 kB/s or so.

It sounds like you’re trying to build an iPod classic with Bluetooth

I DJ weddings for about 10 years and literally had my entire entire DJ library backed up on one

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

If you’re going to post this video to 8 different communities at least add a context. Why are you sharing it? What is it? What’s the significance? Seems like a lot of work to just get a bunch of downvotes

Best place to buy replacement parts for a laptop?

I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress....

What country are you in? You’ve responded to multiple comments they don’t ship to my country but don’t see where that is…

mysoulishome,

I would order from eBay. It can be scary because each seller is separate and you have to check their ratings…but the system nowadays is very good. eBay has swung all of their policies to where they highly favor the buyer in disputes if there is an issue…to the point that buyers can easily abuse it. I was a seller and experienced this. If you file a dispute saying I didn’t receive my item or it wasn’t as described, they literally freeze the money in the sellers sellers account immediately until it’s resolved and the buyer has you by the balls.

You can search and see only items that ship to your country. I would imagine you find a lot that do ship to you. They make it easy because sellers can enroll in a program where you ship it to a certain address in sellers country and it gets forwarded to any country at buyers expense.

Just check the sellers ratings and read item descriptions, check return policy

Same, Roger’s point of view on movies usually was pretty close to mine. I feel like I have good taste and I enjoy challenging, artsy movies that critics praise. But sometimes there are movies like Moulin Rouge you just enjoy even if it isn’t critically defensible. Roger would go for things like that where Gene seemed more like a hard nosed snobby type. I realized at some point it Roger raved about a movie I was likely to enjoy it.

I don’t know how much I trust AEI’s motivation, methods or conclusions. The same survey also shows gen z are much less likely to go to church, less likely to drink and smoke, less likely to have a girlfriend/boyfriend…and gen x and boomers are more likely to do all of that. Is it true? Probably. But when you are asking a 19 year old and a 59 year old the same question…how do you even calculate what the answer means?

Currently Gen Z included aa young as 11. Are they polling 13 year olds? Because I definitely give zero shits what 13 year old boys think.

And are they polling teenage gen x’ers as well?

Yes I’m joking because the very premise of comparing the age groups with specific questions is problematic. “Are you a feminist” doesn’t mean the same thing to someone born in 2002 as it does someone born in 1972.

If you ask me…a 40-something man, I say yes I’m a feminist because I want you to know I am an ally and support women. If you ask a 16 year old, I would doubt the word means much to them at all. But I bet they will be more supportive of women than our generation anyway.

Hoping batteries for electric vehicles come down in price. The fucking $10,000 replacement cost pushes the cars to the brink of naw I’m not gonna fuck with that zone…

There are 10 year old electric cars now with failing batteries that no one wants. It’s a now problem, and seeing it makes people not want to buy one (including me)

I’m can’t afford to buy a new car so does me no good. What kind of EV do you drive?

Funny on this one the show is wayyy better than the book. I read the book first and it had an interesting idea but was very disappointing. The show branched off from the book pretty quickly and was right to do so. There were a few plots and characters from the book that went nowhere and were still in the show…hoped they would get fleshed out in the show but they were not. I wish I hadn’t read the book and could have experienced the show with a full open mind

@mysoulishome@lemmy.world avatar

I thought the book was a big letdown. Was very annoyed by it. Almost gave up on the show because of it but the show branched off and was much better.

If they had convincing evidence that they could produce 15% return with low risk, investors would be beating down their door.
