Looking for recommendations

Looking for period shows set between 1920 and the 50s. Shows that have a feel similar to LA Confidential, if that makes sense. I’ve got World on Fire and Perry Mason on my list. I’m not terribly picky about the genre, it’s the period and the setting I am interested in. I am hoping to find some gems I have overlooked that...

Movie, not a show but Miller’s Crossing is a masterpiece

OrteilGenou ,

Isn’t this their business model?

Kids don’t like Facebook!?

They don’t like posts that have captions like “wait for it” or “when you see it” for clips where nothing even slightly out if the ordinary happens?

I use FB for the messenger app, and even then most people I know who were on FB ditched it for Instagram ages ago. Basically useless.

I started deleting my reddit account and creating a new one every year because I found myself becoming too involved with my karma level. Fuck that

OrteilGenou ,

I just had to replace my clothes dryer. New one is guaranteed for one year. Estimates for the life of the unit is about ten years max. The dryer I replaced was made in 1989.

I picked up a Pixel 6 for about three hundred. The last phone I had was a Moto One Action. I prefer the Moto for a lot of things but the irony is the final reason I had to get rid of it is the USB-C charging port was fucked. Of course the battery was very crap by then and the screen was cracked to hell too.

I really like that phone though. Lots of functions just by shaking it, like the flashlight came on when I tomahawk chopped it twice. Super handy. If I could have fixed it for a reasonable price I would have.

That USB-C thing made me laugh though. I’ve had to use iPhones for work a lot, and the one thing I really like was clicking in the lighting port to charge it. Never failed. On more than one android the USB-C gets wonky, where you have to tilt the cable to get the connectors to touch and stuff. Not bad, but not even as good as the old USB mini chargers.

OrteilGenou ,

Thank God I never bothered with their bullshit in the first place

OrteilGenou ,

Exactly. It’s corporate privilege. Fuck these greedy sluts

OrteilGenou ,

Yes. Dope.

OrteilGenou ,

My last phone had a cracked screen, loose USB-c charging port that required me to wiggle the cable to charge it, and a battery that drained the last 20% in about an hour. Finally I upgraded, but I still use that last one, plugged in with the wire taped to the back so it stays there, as my streaming box

That, or design panels that can be rotated over the combine as it passes, and back into place. I’m thinking driverless combine that wouldn’t look anything like the ones we have now. I also have no idea what this would entail.

OrteilGenou ,

For sure, not too mention the maintenance headache, but moving them is like way cooler

OrteilGenou ,

Maybe being bullied into compliance?

Wholesome and bitter, like rhubarb

I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there

I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.

The problem: human nature is such that those who overthrew the tyrants would shortly find themselves in power. They might even be just and true leaders. But inevitably, greed will out. I suppose the silver lining is the resulting system of oppression might not be so… efficient as it is now.

TIL In the Hot Coffee lawsuit against McDonalds,punitive damages were given due to McDonalds intentionally overheating coffee to save money on refills (www.poolelg.com)

During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not...

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description (edition.cnn.com)

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

Muslim scholars, try to keep up

OrteilGenou ,

I once asked a Muslim neighbor over for dinner.

They explained they could never eat anything I have prepared in my kitchen, because I eat pork.

Way to go religion, keep making sure your arbitrary rules keep people apart.

Bake a cake, have a slice, and sell the rest to charity. It’s more cost effective, less expensive, and allows one to further the use of the phrase “sell it to charity”. Triple win
