PSA: Ten Forward is the new Risa https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward
I just realized I commented in one of your crossposted posts, not here. I was just kidding around about the pizza, then I saw something else you posted…ok for real, man, have you not been eating?
Lol that’s some Mongolian beef?
Omglol
You’re 100% correct, and it’s kinda sad, really… for so many members of a generation to be so consistently and relentlessly stupid toxic that its name becomes synonymous with “douchebag.” What a fuckin accomplishment.
He sure has a lot of boomer energy for a guy who’s only 42.
Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.
I did not know he wrote the Sanford & Son theme song! Just looked it up. Good pop culture trivia, thanks for dropping that.
Lol now I got that theme song stuck in my head
Oh I intended to post this in tenforward, it just didn’t land. There was a trend for a hot minute of trek-themed music being posted, so I thought I’d share an old industrial track from back in the day that featured a few TNG-era Borg samples (and other stuff that I think may have muddied the waters). No biggie lol
How much frozen human shit has that mountain accumulated since people started climbing it for fun? Can somebody do the math on that? I feel like it has potential for a really shitty trivia question. Like, for Shitty Jeopardy! or something. JFC, I am baked.
@FlyingSquid omg I didn’t realize it was your post. Hi! Ok I’m gonna put the bowl down
Holy carp. I stand totally corrected, I was looking at it on my phone and figured it had to be an mp4 you uploaded to Imgur. I’m looking at this sucker up close now on my laptop, and of course as you know, it’s an 8 bit Compuserve GIF. Video codecs don’t use LZW compression lol. Yeah, it’s a real nice-lookin GIF. Nice work!
When I find something I want to make into a gif I use ScreenToGif to capture the screen. It allows you to edit frames, add text, combine videos, etc. It’s not tough to do.
Thanks for posting this, ScreenToGif looks pretty awesome. It’s free and open source, which is a nice bonus. Now, if I could just find something like this for Linux…
It’s a gifv. It looks smooth like a video because it is one lol
lol you should post this in Ten Forward
Media Bias Fact Check entry for Science 2.0 (science20.com): https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/science-2-0/
flooppoolf mentioned you can get a second opinion, and I’d like validate that idea.
The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo).
So. My thinking is that you weren’t tested for ADHD, you were given a survey to assess symptoms. Symptoms are important to recognize, but they don’t always paint a complete picture of what’s really going on.
For my diagnosis, I had to take a barrage of tests that took 3 hours to complete. The testing session was comprised of several timed tests on reflexes, short term memory retention, attention span, logic, vocabulary, math, and an IQ test. The last three might have been part of the IQ test, now that I think about it. This was a couple of years ago so I know I’m forgetting a lot of details, but it was intense. The report I got later with the diagnosis was huge and contained a ton of data and confirmed yes, I have ADHD. So yeah, ADHD (I have the inattentive, not the hyperactive type) is quantifiable.
For what it’s worth, when I was a child I also didn’t have the typical symptoms of ADHD. It is possible to have ADHD and exhibit no outward symptoms when you’re a kid, it presents differently in people for a variety of reasons, I was told. It only became obvious when I was an adult. That’s just my experience, anyway.
On the topic of young people unable to buy a home, Whoopi said to her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin:
“You got to go out and get a job…I know you’re young, but here’s what it is. You work, and you can afford a house. And you can go and get one.”
I also hated it…fuckin’ hated it! I watched the first three episodes when they aired and gave up. I binged it a couple of years later, and I’m glad I gave it another chance. What got me was the fallout from Hugh’s fate in season 1, omfg it was just heartbreaking watching Paul come to grips and try to move on. And Ash, even though he was responsible, got my empathy eventually because of his struggles with all that overwhelming crazy PTSD and repressed memories. Yeah, really glad I gave it another chance.
I get the criticism about production, plot, and dialogue decisions. I mean, I agree on quite a few of them. But a good chunk of the detractors are on the hate bandwagon because they just can’t stand women/minorities getting representation, and those dumbfucks need to GTFO. It’s Trek, for fuck’s sake. Yeah, Discovery is different, but I still dig the show.
