Which are lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing?
  • Well, yeah, as a horror fan it's likely a little too spoofy to be terribly engaging, but it sounds like you might specifically be 'not' a fan of that.

    If it's never occurred to you to label yourself a horror fan, but kind of like movies in general, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

  • Sike!
  • Seems like a reasonable chance, kind of the first universal end, and it doubles as a two sided option. Micro was nearly there if it hasn't been so horrid on the physical hardware side.

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?
  • You're probably getting suggestions for what she should do different because, at least at a starting point, it could just as easily be something her phone is doing before sending as it is something your phone is doing on the receiving end.

    I've had a phone say 'video to big, do you want to crop or share through abc app' before. Don't recall the exact message, but seems more likely than you phone downgrading something it's receiving.

  • Trump calls Elon Musk by wrong name as his biographer says the candidate is 'hyper-aware' voters are doubting his mental acuity
  • There's obviously been a drop in his coherence, but it's not like he was smart and now he's dumb... He's always babbled bullshit at a 5th grade level at best, he's just had enough money and undeserved confidence behind him that he could mostly muddle through an interview just sounding smarmy and punchable.... Now he's also dealing with dementia to the point where he literally can't remember what he started bullshitting about.

  • Trump calls Elon Musk by wrong name as his biographer says the candidate is 'hyper-aware' voters are doubting his mental acuity
  • Do you have any hints at what would make you consider him not stupid, historically? Being confident and narcissistic, and even talented at bullshit doesn't make you smart. And recognizing weaknesses in the system isn't really smart, even if it is perceptive, when those weaknesses are really just strong arm tactics that happen to be available to him through brazenness, inheritance, litigation, cruelty and others recognizing him as a convenient money laundering option.

  • Trump calls Elon Musk by wrong name as his biographer says the candidate is 'hyper-aware' voters are doubting his mental acuity
  • That's not a good parallel, it's the politically 'motivated' part he's referring to. If someone is being prosecuted because they're running for office, and you have a legitimate argument that if they had chosen not to run for office the charges would have been dropped, it's legitimate to say it's politically motivated.

    On the other hand, if your crime was literally campaign finance crimes and voter manipulation, there's a reasonable argument that 'politically motivated' isn't necessarily a bad thing here. If you did a political crime, and seem likely to continue to be politically motivated to commit more crimes, it kind of makes sense that prosecuting you with a tiny bit of political intent isn't totally unreasonable.

  • Mr.Beast Hires Elon Musk's Favorite Attorney to Fight Sociopath Claims
  • Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he's really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I'm reasonably sure they're selling a box with the name 'Mr Beast' on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.

  • US conservative influencers say they are ‘victims’ of Russian disinformation campaign
  • Imagine the suspension of intellect it must take to admit that Russia is willing to pay you push the narrative you are already pushing, or are willing to push, and then considering yourself a victim for doing it.

    You weren't the target, you were the tool.

  • What other movies wouldn't work today?
  • True, but I'm the context of the film, it was set in (then) current day, and at least partially tried to make him being left behind plausible in that context.

    Though honestly, with the way they showed the mix-up even back then, it's plausible the same thing could happen with a kid now... If they look similar enough, and the parents were seriously distracted, it's not like they have id for the kids or anything now. It's parents dragging kids along and once you're past security it's basically the ticket agents glancing to make sure the number of people and number of tickets match.

  • What other movies wouldn't work today?
  • I don't think you could make a Deadpool 1 again because they never made a Deadpool 1. You could easily make Deadpool again, they do that all the time and it kind of sucks because you have to label it like Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool (2024).

    Mostly you couldn't make Deadpool today because it takes way, way longer than that to make a feature length film. Maybe you could do a YouTube short or something if you get started now. It's already almost noon.

  • Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?
  • Because Democrats want someone who will run the country and Republicans just want someone who will maintain their minority control. We are concerned for the country, they are scared for their very existence and self reflection itself is dangerous for their existence. Basically self reflection is necessary for what Democrats want to do, and it fatal for what Republicans want. So we do it, and Republicans avoid it at all costs. We get a Kamala who we hold to a high standard, they get a Trump who can punch them in the face and they'll still support him because of the party.

  • 'My car is more convenient'
  • It doesn't require suspension of critical thought when you can look around the world and see that nowhere does anyone have high speed rail spanning distances and population densities equivalent to what the US would need to go from, say, New York to LA, it East to West Coast in general. There are plenty of examples similar locally to East or West Coast population centers, but nothing in between. High speed commercial routes? Maybe. High speed commuter rail? It's not even close to being worth the cost: utilization.

  • 'My car is more convenient'
  • Not sure what you are arguing with exactly, theres a huge difference between commercial and commuter 'profitability'. Things that freely allow for commerce like a road can be justified from many different direction where a periodic service only makes sense based on demand. That isn't to say that maintaining an underutilized route with the goal of it becoming utilized based on is availability is always a bad idea, but a road can be built and it's cost can at least roughly be correlated to it's use. If you had to periodically rebuild every road, at roughly the same cost whether it was used or not, they would end up with the same 'profitability' concern, but mostly you have to build all the roads for minimal usability and then spend the most money on the most used roads. Freeways are understood to improve commercial visibility and are funded by taxes for that reason. The entire country benefits by having clear routes for good to move. Commuter rail primarily benefits a local area and is funded heavily by fares and local taxes.

  • Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?
  • This is a really old message, but if you're still having the same question i could try to answer, but that kind of message is pretty context dependant. For that specific one, it sounds like your program is trying to access something outside your network,, like they have a website they need to access to check for updates or something.

  • How could simulating the ports as open be useful?
  • A benign scan could just be looking for an ftp server to connect to or a repeater or relay server of some sort. There are plenty of open services people make available for free and the fact that you would consider it an attack it doesn't make it one.

    At minimum you could be alerted to look for someone attempting to connect to your ftp server with a single basic anonymous authentication vs someone flooding that port with known malicious software attacks, and block the latter across your entire network and effectively ignore the former. Really it seems like you're advertising your lack of imagination in this context than a legitimate lack of possible uses for spoofing open ports.
