I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who “doesn’t pay attention to politics”. I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

TURTLE

Fun fact: box turtles are so named because their shell has a hinge! All turtles can retreat into their shells to make it harder for predators to get at their squishy bits, but box turtles can also then close the opening of their shell over their head. Like a box.

Yes. I can’t help that everything is fascinating to me…

Not an answer to your question, but how are you using stremio with a vpn?

I use stremio+realdebrid+torrentio. Realdebrid doesn’t, as far as I know, work while using a vpn, but if there’s a way around that I’d love to know.

You’ll find out what’s growing…probably. good luck :)

8I rewatched Nope (again) this morning and it is, from a storytelling perspective, just. so. incredible.

If you haven’t seen Nope, there’s a huge twist that changes everything and nothing for the characters. Y’all know what I’m talking about if you’ve seen it.

The director wasted nothing. Everything from costumes to background details either foreshadows something, reinforces a theme, or pays off later in the movie.

The characters are great. The dialogue and character dynamics are realistic and relatable. There are some jumpscares in the first hour-ish of the movie, because it’s nominally a horror film.

My parents spent ages trying to get me to hold a pen the “right” way, pinched near the tip with the thumb, index and middle fingers.

This meme is art

No, but I cross my legs while standing so that my feet are close to perpendicular. It’s comfy.

Exactly! It’s called planning ahead, get with it NT folks

I floss and brush religiously every night, have for many years. I had a cavity when I was young and the whole experience was terrible.

I still ended up with multiple cavities as an adult.

Great article, very enlightening for those of us who are too young to remember the early internet.

Not an excuse, but an explanation: ignorance.

Most people don’t know how ads or data collection works beyond the obvious uptick in a product after you search for it. They don’t know what impact it might have.

Full disclosure: I’m mostly in this camp. I only recently started using firefox over chrome, for example. I know that big tech collects obscene amounts of data, and monetizes it by targeted advertisements, but…beyond that, I don’t know what FAANG can do with the data collected on me. I only have a vague idea of what’s being collected.

I see an androidish icon? (Could be a jerboa icon. Idk) I’m on jerboa on an android.

Hey fellow ex-redditor! I’ve seen some people post video (youtube) links. I haven’t seen a gif or native video yet, so I’m not sure if it’s currently possible.

I’m new too, so I don’t have a more solid answer than that.
