6 Reasons So Many Movies Are Struggling At The Box Office In 2024
  • A Regal cinema that I go to is also somewhat in disrepair. I'm guessing the theater chains aren't very interested in paying money to keep them up. Every time I go there are maybe 5 people in a single theater.

  • Christian lifeguard can't handle standing near a Pride flag, sues Los Angeles
  • What is the biblical symbol you're referencing? Explain it like I'm not a Christian (I'm not lol).

  • American Airlines flight forced to abort takeoff at Reagan National Airport to avoid hitting another plane
  • Many locals choose to just call it "National Airport" for this reason

  • Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?
  • I have gamepass and I'm happy with it. I tend to dabble in a lot of games instead of playing one game for a long time.

    One new game costs $60 to purchase. For me personally there is little chance I will be playing it 4 months from now.

    Alternatively I can pay for gamepass and play any of those games for $15 a month. The only situation where this ends up being a worse deal is if I only play one game for more than four months, which so far has not happened for me.

    I realize that doesn't make sense for everyone, though.

  • toxic help forum
  • I use gimp but OP isn't wrong. Doing a stroke on text is mindless in Photoshop and very convoluted in gimp.

  • Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search
  • First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

  • They're just like us

  • rule
  • Sometimes true, sometimes not.

    In some situations I feel like there's some validity to not answering the question and saying what someone should do instead. Like, for example, if someone asked me how to bypass a security mechanism I don't think it would be wrong to say they shouldn't do that and not provide instructions for how to do so. Further, you might even argue that it's unethical for me to provide guidance that I know (or believe) is wrong.

    This is why a root cause analysis is so important. I feel like often in those situations, the problem trying to be solved is really a symptom of the issue as opposed to the actual issue.

  • I am a trans man incarcerated in a woman’s prison where feminism is a four-letter word
  • False confessions are shockingly common. The Innocence Project does a lot of good work exonerating people who were wrongfully convicted: https://innocenceproject.org/false-confessions/

    Here's some more info on false confessions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_confession

  • Gaming firm Razer ordered to pay over US$1.1 million in US for advertising Zephyr mask as N95-grade
  • This and xupermask are just cringe consoomer mush. It's honestly shocking to me the trust that people put into celebrities and tech companies. Capitalists "disrupting" a regulated industry should be a big red flag.

  • $1200 Graphics Card Opens Two Extra Google Chrome Tabs
  • Try AdGuard. It's an ad blocker for Android (using a local VPN sinkhole). Article is ad-free for me.

  • Long time
  • Someone posted about Americans being able to drive for like 13 hours in Texas and still be in Texas. The punchline was that Europeans can't comprehend it. Then a bunch of euro memes came out showing similar distances in Europe.

    Perhaps related, there was a news post today about an effort to develop a standardized system for time on the moon.

  • I mean, it doesn't weigh 100 kg. That's a measurement of mass, not weight. We often discuss our weight using kilograms with the assumption that we're talking about it at sea level, but the weight would be different at different altitudes. It may be pretty negligible though, I suppose.

  • I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is
  • We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I'm gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.

  • Microsoft is trying to convince Windows 10 users to upgrade with full-screen prompts
  • Yeah I'd rather not be making regedits and of course can't even do that on a work device.

  • Microsoft is trying to convince Windows 10 users to upgrade with full-screen prompts
  • No small taskbar icons option was bothersome for me. Have to deal with it on my work PC. So much lost screen space 😭

  • "What is Your Gender Identity" Survey
  • Yeah I was surprised too but being a cis man doesn't preclude them from being gay or pan or whatever. I prefer to think of people as default allies until they prove themselves otherwise.

    Further, I don't think it's a problem for cis het men to be here if it's from a learning/allyship perspective.
