Apple users are being locked out of their Apple IDs with no explanation
  • It locked my ID. I successfully unlocked it, but then it asked for my security questions to log in, and I must've forgotten those. I tried to reset them, but got a weird error ("not enough info to reset"). Apple Support was unhelpful, just told me to try again the next day (yesterday), which didn't work, and otherwise said I'd just have to create a new Apple ID.

  • What recent video game do you have buyer remorse for?
  • Young Souls. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to couch co-op games if we find one we can both enjoy.

    And this one was good, but it was basically unplayable on the Switch (or, at least, constantly crashed mine). Finally got to the very end (where there's no saving from the start of the end cutscene until the finale) and it crashed before the final battle. Restarted, got through several minutes of cutscenes, got a little farther but crashed again, this time in the final battle. Tried one more time and it crashed again in a different spot. Promptly deleted the game.

    So I guess we'll never finish that one.

  • Where are the good political songs?
  • Uncle Sam Goddamn - Brother Ali
    Ju$t - Run the Jewels (and a lot of their or Killer Mike's songs)
    Gang Shit - Marlon Craft
    The Guillotine - The Coup
    I Wish I Was a Riot Grrrl - Destructo Disk
    Nobody's Biz - Four Fists

    Some of these being older than 10 years is a real bummer lol

  • There may be some hard feelings about the breakup
  • That's the pettiest shit I've ever seen

  • Free project organisation software?
  • ClickUp has been working for my work projects. There's a free and a paid version. Free should work for most people.

    There's a "blocking" feature so you can see what parts of the project need to be done first, the ability to create templates (and schedule tasks based on the start or end date), recurring tasks, etc. I think there's a bit of a learning curve and sometimes I have to go digging or contact support because i can't figure out how to do a particular workflow, and sometimes the answer is "it's in the works" and sometimes it's the case of a hidden setting.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 21 January
  • Haha yes, we can go with "refined!" Though these days I find myself reaching for books that are more fun than literary.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 21 January
  • I try not to pay a ton of attention to reviews for the reason, for books and movies. Sometimes I'll check afterward for something I enjoyed and find that it's not well reviewed. Maybe I have trash taste 😅

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 21 January
  • Yeah, there are some books that are highly recommended--even some that are personally recommended to me by a friend--that I end up not enjoying. I don't think that makes them bad books, just not the right book for me.

  • Looking for advice buying a coffee grinder
  • Oh that's a bummer! I bought mine in 2022 and didn't know that.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 21 January
  • I definitely liked the first Broken Earth book the best as well.

    I'm not sure how I feel about the city trilogy either. The characters and their voices are great, but a lot of the more abstract scenes/actions didn't really do anything for me.

    I think she writes well enough that it keeps me reading (and wins her awards), but I haven't loved most of her books.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 21 January
  • Almost done with N.K. Jemisin's The World We Make.

    Also reading the fourth John Dies at the End book.

    And listening to Why We Sleep.

  • Looking for advice buying a coffee grinder
  • Also they sometimes sell refurbished Encores on their site for a discount. But honestly new, they're still very reasonable. My refurb looked brand new and has been serving me well for 2 years.

  • Can anyone recommend terrible horror films?
  • That's one that falls under the "not strictly comedic" but omg if I didn't burst out laughing at Justin Long's character several times. It was directed by one of the guys from Whitest Kids U Know and I think that shows through occasionally.

  • Can anyone recommend terrible horror films?
    • Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
    • Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
    • From Dusk till Dawn

    I'm also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren't strictly comedic, but I think they're all fun.

    • Cabin in the Woods
    • Barbarian
    • Get Out
    • Housebound
    • Slither
    • Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
    • most of the Evil Dead movies
    • You're Next
    • Pearl
    • The Guest
    • Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz
    • What We Do in the Shadows

  • I felt very lucky lol

  • [OC] Curious Coatimundis
  • One of these curious little dudes licked my foot! I don't think he realized it was attached to a person, because he looked up afterward and got startled.

  • Two boxes of the same size a bit over a year apart
  • Her little beauty mark!!

  • What's your recent fitness victory?
