I think the ultimate intention was to show the descent into madness through repetition and boredom. And for me Holmes achieves that very well.

The poem in the trailer is this recording from 1915: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9RYG-iMdx0

No, only for Wireguard. For torrents I use Mullvad from my home line.

Oracle has a Forever Free tier that I use to host my VPN gateway. It’s been running fine for years now.

“A lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being. So it was really beautiful to be seen in this way,” Kidman said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “From the minute I read it, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place that I haven’t been, I don’t think audiences have been.'”

I think she hasn’t seen any movie starring Isabelle Huppert.

I think it took her a while to talk about it. She was not careful enough while using a table saw and the whole incident was quite traumatizing. She mentioned that in a video with Adam Savage.

Better Off Ted and Dead Like Me, yeah

Is there maybe a generational gap? I am older and I very, very rarely watch videos. Maybe when I am totally stuck in a game will I watch a walkthrough. But just watching other people play is something my kids and their friends do. I think games just caught up to sports, where most fans spend more time watching than playing as well.

I’m in the top .001% of listeners for my top song this year. I regret nothing. In fact, I am listening to the song right now.

As a matter of fact, I did go no contact with my parents after I moved out at 19 and minimal contact as I got older. Nowadays, with both of them dead, I see their behavior more nuanced. I can appreciate how difficult it is to leave your own upbringing behind and they both came from families traumatized by war. That’s my personal story, of course, and doesn’t mean other people should see it the same way. But it’s the reason why I think, after 20 years it’s no problem to re-evaluate decisions you made as a teenager. If you still feel the same way you did back then, that’s fine. But there’s no point in leaving relationships behind that could be good for you just because.

Maybe I am too old to put too much value in the lasting decisions of a teenager. You change so damn much over the years and what felt like the worst back then isn’t that bad when you look back after 20 years. But my main point is that OP explicitly said they weren’t angry with their father, so I don’t see it as a bad act when he tries to contact OP again.

Sun worship I could get behind, as long as it’s not used to exert power over others. The sun is real and it powers almost all life on earth.

Meh, that is a bit extreme without knowing anything about the history. OP even said they’re not really angry with their father. I think it’s fair to reach out after over 20 years. If OP still wants no contact, they can communicate this and if their father doesn’t respect that, then I’d say you have a valid point.

I am sure Microsoft will take this to heart and stop the bloat shit and not kill off Windows 10 for good.

I had forgotten about Gadget. Damn.

No shit. Way back when, we traded VHS tapes of fan-subbed anime across continents. I subbed two episodes of a show someone brought from Japan on laserdisc for a convention. This was the only way to watch anime back then. As fun as it was, nobody in their right mind wants to go back to all that hassle, so just provide legal options. If you build it, they will come.

Actual baking with an oven.

Yeah. 4 times the resolution, 10 times the size.

With flour and sugar only because I know how much fits on a spoon. With butter it’s just magic.
