Ahh man all I got was a disabled mom and prison dad.

Think I can trade him for a rich dad to a rich person who wants to claim they had a rough child hood?

I remember 14 years ago in high school I was kicking around the idea of becoming a court reporter (type out everything said in court) , but was told "nooo look at Siri, that'll totally replace all that soon!"

No, no it's not. We don't want things like that making choices like that.

Also was told "C and C++ is too old, learn something newer"

People get too excited about new tech, not thinking about why the old tech stands the test of time.

Perfection can never be the enemy of progress! Cleaning out nazis will always be progress, if not "always" perfection.

Nazi hunting?...

Run the code.

RUN IT.

Can they please look up a guide on how to make a stable government already?

Ooh and how many women apparently wear the HIGHEST quality water proof make up at all times!

Realistic hacking scenes would be funny.

"Okay I'm in"

"Wait... how?"

"Oh I figured out the default passwords and naming conventions for new employees awhile ago."

Funnily enough I got my college to change password policies because for a report for one of my classes I wrote about how stupid it was that all new users passwords were First intial + last initial + last four of social security number, with usernames being firstname + lastname + year. Since they had no max number of attempts on logins, and didn't prompt you to change password on logging in, it took a few minutes to get into anyone's account once you knew their name. (That school was very incompetent, and they are closed now)

OR

"Give me 20 minutes, I'm on hold with IT. They'll reset the password and tell me it if I give them an employee ID, dob, and name. Which I see clearly on this guys facebook picture where he has his badge visibile."

Or a hacking guy trying to brute force for days. Then the "no nonsense" guy goes out for 20 minutes, and comes back with it and refused to answer questions. Oh wait... that's just XKCD.

Hehe that scene was the one that made me think of this post.

NCIS should just dive into self parody at this point.

Seeing a movie where they flip in a practice dummy and actually make me feel like they broke ribs to make it happen would be legit.

If the ribs aren't bending, ain't no way the heart is pumping!

Also having the CRP patient be absolutely trashed afterwards. If you're getting CPR, it's cause you dead, and they are trying to bring you back to life by beating life back into you. You were dead, then got probably the most painful beating of your life. The rest of the movie should be you recovering in a hospital.

I'm not even a chef but they'll also turn in a full kitchen without regard sometimes.

If you're turning, you keep that garbage pointed NOT where you are turning.

Ahh so when they have like inconsistent durability?

One scene the super hero slams through walls.

Next scene, they trip and get injured.

I wonder if movies is why people seem to scoff at my mom's allergies. She is "deathly" allergic to Cilantro and Coriander, so more than once people told her stuff like "Don't worry just eat around it" or "we'll put it on the side"

MAM. Her throat is closing, we are sticking an epi pen, and heading to the hospital if any gets in her mouth. If you can't accommodate her, let her know and we will leave. But it's severe enough that if a lot of fresh cilantro is being used, she has to leave or she'll start having symptoms. Basically if you can clearly smell cilantro, then enough is in the air that she's going to start coughing and wheezing and normally takes 2-3 days of her feeling garbage. Same exact case for my sister who is deathly allergic to red onions.

I never understood why some people think so little of "My throat will close if I eat this thing", but maybe it's TV where they treat it like lactose intolerance, where it's fine if you just take the meds with it?

IDK man, but it's tilting.

They wanted to hack faster, so they both started typing at once!

The logic in that TV show would be parody if all they did was have a single character look super confused whenever one of their pseudoscientific plans work flawlessly and is held up in court.

I'm just the ultimate Lemmy Meme lord!

My most upvoted one is this one though:

But yeah it's always cool when we get so much engagement and every comment is actually unique and not a report bot!

"Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it’s faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies."

Monster: struggles to catch a running humans

Monster in next scene: catching up with a car pretty easily

Speed always kills me in things.

Plot twist= It started at 8PM and ended at 3 pm.

That always killed me! Like... bro, a soft breeze should take him out. He's not ready to be a villain, he's ready to spend 5+ years in rehab.

I'd love if in one of those shows it's just implied lightly throughout the entire thing that they are squatting in the home of someone who died and the city never noticed or something stupid like that XD

I guess that's what I've been doing, but I just never seem to find things fast enough so spend so long bored between. So guess I either need to learn to find things that are interesting faster, or spread them out.

Ooh good point.

Thinking on which games I've been able to come back to consistently, are ones with lots of replay value or are designed to make new runs.

Like Stellaris, you start over all the time for different experiencs.

100 hour rpgs where every play through is identical? Never been able to replay those.
