thisbenzingring,

I have a niece that is not yet 2 and I can tell you she reads body language and practices it along with speaking. Her body language is a lot better then her spoken language by far.

thisbenzingring,

Makes me wish I’d taken pictures of the rope locker and line rooms in the Navy. We’d make some awesome thrones with the line when underway. Nothing is as comfortable as one of those chairs when the ship would rock

Pegger: By the power of Grayskull… I’m gonna…oh god… Have the POWER!

Rider: uhh… Wheely time?

thisbenzingring,

I haven’t used a compass in years except to prove I knew which direction the building was in for my boss.

Knowing when specific stars are at night and where the sun is (where shadows point) will tell you where north is. Knowing this stuff is why I can’t really get lost. One time I tried but even in dense forest, the shadows never lie

thisbenzingring,

I almost feel like you’d have to be completely daft if you can’t find the Crux. It’s like that space of stars is so distinct, nothing else in the southern sky comes close.

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

thisbenzingring,

The slowness is meant to represent the distance they are traveling, in both time and space. This was also made in 1968, the moon landing was in 1969. Compare Planet of the Apes to 2001 for a good comparison of what special effects were like in the same year.

The top block busters of that year www.imdb.com/list/ls068940380/

Most of them are long winded, it was the style of the time.

If you think of the movie as 3 parts. One, pre-man discovers tools (because the monolith changes one tribe). Two, Man must overcome the tools it has created. Three, man is absorbed by the aliens tool to become next-man.

Anyways, I understand why someone might not like it but it is one of my all time favorite movies and its worth watching later in your life as you might get different impressions on it if you are young now

thisbenzingring,

Him as Miller is so fucking good in The Expanse series. In my mind, his face was always Miller when I was reading the series. He is for sure underrated.

thisbenzingring,

but its not a scary film, its a psychological horror thriller film

thisbenzingring,

My impression of the movie is that half is the “reality” happening while the other half is a sexual fantasy while she is masturbating. When she can’t get off the nightmare of her reality crumbles and she can’t go on. Its a movie that needs to be seen through a mind fog, like most David Lynch movies. Once you allow him to dictate the rules of how the movie is going to presented to you, then you see the beautiful things that he creates with film.

thisbenzingring,

its a terrible movie but its a fucking amazing film.

if you ever watch it again, look at its edits and specifically the gore. You never actually see Leatherface inflicting any damage on someone. It’s always a trick of the mind that you see the violence but it never actually happens on the screen.

I agree its kinda lame but it is actually an amazing creation.

thisbenzingring,

Things are popular for reasons and being cynical about it and prejudging something based only on its popularity is limiting your exposure to the world.

Its better to have an informed opinion then a cynical ignorance.

thisbenzingring,

They used pigs blood and maybe there’s a cutting but it would have been framed in a way that it just makes you believe it’s someone’s leg.

I studied film in college and that film was one of our subjects because of the diy and extremely low budget it had while creating something that is still considered peerless

thisbenzingring,

Now I feel the desire to watch some education videos on the larch

thisbenzingring,

learn the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and make sure your money has a most bang for the buck in regards to shelter / food / safety

The library has all your entertainment if but it does require a change of mindset

stay away from anything that only has one type of use, find things that can be used for multiple uses and try and buy it used if possible

Thrift stores sell clothing for pennies on the dollar. You can put together a professional wardrobe for less then a new pair of Levis

thisbenzingring,

I have been to hundreds of thrift stores across the country. Rarely are any two the same. Rarely are they the same store if you visit it months later. And some are expensive but if they are, they usually have better stuff. Visit the stores in the areas that are generally poor and you will still find lots of hidden jems at deep discounts to the retail price. So much so that it’s always worth the extended trip outside of your neighborhood.

thisbenzingring,

Don’t worry though, this won’t take effect until 2032ish

thisbenzingring,

I remember having a conversation with a coworker who was getting into Linux when Kali was a big deal for script kiddies. He told me he installed it and I was like “dude you want it to be a read only OS, don’t install it. Just boot to it from a CD or USB.” We went back and forth on that for weeks until I just gave up and labeled him an idiot in my mind.

thisbenzingring,

You can follow the wiki guide and really have a solid systems that is just yours. That will take some time and can be a little frustrating.

Or use the installer script they have included for a year or more now and get to a working desktop in 20-30 minutes.

But if you feel the need to trim down the scripted version, you can make it just a strong as the step-by-step install in a few hours.

I have used the same step-by-step based on the wiki install since 2016, on my daily driver laptop

thisbenzingring,

no need, THC does the trick without the pain or scarring

thisbenzingring,

I worked at the Starbucks HQ for a bit and the running gag was that when they would tap out the used espresso, they were making Folgers

thisbenzingring, (edited )

its why we were the slacker generation and the laziest generation and the … well they didn’t start the generation name calling with the Millennials, you could say.
