Boost!
Boost!
Lol I wish. I genuinely do. But as long as we stay stubbornly opposed to basic shit that the rest of the world is doing like providing everyone with healthcare and maternity leave and stuff, there's no way.
I love it! I searched long and hard to get a nice 4K 3D TV from 2015 a couple years ago and I have no regrets. I love watching movies on Blu-ray 3D. But yes, I recognize that I am very in the minority here. 🤣
For Android users, recommend Boost (which just launched). It used to be a Reddit client, then the dev made it for Lemmy. I did try to get into Lemmy without a solid app, but couldn't do it. Boost changed that for me. Now Lemmy is as smooth as Reddit was. Recommending an app that makes it as easy as Reddit might help for some people like it did me. :)
I mean, it helped teach me. It's not that I didn't actually understand it before, it's that I hadn't internalized it (and how selfish it is to go around getting other people sick). My dad is one of the "I never take a sick day!" people and when you hear that enough as a kid, the "merit" of that sticks in your bones. It took me several years as an adult to really believe that I wasn't selfish or lazy if I took a sick day.
What a wonderful phrase!
Oh, in the U.S., no brick and mortar stores are carrying them anymore. You'll have to buy them online. Amazon is a great place for them!
They're rare, but 3D releases still come out on occasion! Sometimes you have to buy them from the UK or Japan, but thanks to the internet, that's not difficult to do. Into the Spider-Verse is amazing in 3D. :)
"Every task before you is a challenge to succeed." It's from "Moment to Moment" by a band called Children 18:3. Great song.
Nah, unfortunately, he went in the other direction. He's one of the ridiculous anti-mask kine people.
I was popping in to mention this as well! Excellent terrible movie.
I use Dvorak. I typed around 70 wpm in Qwerty, and now I'm up to around 95 wpm in Dvorak. Was it worth it? I dunno. I got up to a good speed (like 30 wpm) in like a month, but it took a good couple of years to reach my current speed. The problem is that I switched from being a programmer to teaching programming, so now I have a bit of trouble every time I try to show my students something on their computers. No way I'm switching back to Qwerty, but I'm not sure if the switch was really worth it. If I were an author, a secretary, someone who actually typed fast all day long it'd probably be worth it, but not for what I actually do.
"They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!" Apparently, the quote originates from like a late 1800s textbook or something, and it was a logic problem: "Why cannot a man pull himself up by his own bootstraps?" It's not possible, 'cause physics.
