If you swipe down on the notifs twice, you can edit them to be similar to the previous style.
On topic of your post, fuuuuck everything about their forcing AI, but my biggest gripe is how they moved the audio display (from, like, Spotify or audiobook readers/podcast apps) to the bottom of the lock screen as a tiny bar on the bottom instead of showing me all the info as it did before. It’s super annoying when I swipe to unlock and pause what I’m listening to.
I was laughing. Now I feel personally attacked. 😅
You’re not wrong tho
There’s actually some studies starting up that are trying to confirm a theory on if the restless leg and other hyperactive movements are a means of self treatment for ADHD. Seems plausible to me, tbh.
They think lactic acid might play a role in the brain, and ADHD people are lacking as a symptom of ADHD. And since lactic acid can be produced in the muscles through exercise/movement, the theory is that by being hyper active, it creates the lactic acid which gets transported to the brain as a type of subconscious self treatment.
Kinda fascinating, tbh. Especially so, given that my body is currently twitching/bouncing from restless legs in my chair as I type this. Lol The best I’ve ever felt in my brain (and body) was when I used to heavily workout 6 days a week and was constantly sore from the lactic acid buildup. I think these kinds of studies are an interesting premise.
Well, it worked tho! Lol
Oh, and I agree. I understand that. It’s also the first film to piss me off, in my formative years.
Still fkn hate it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agreed. Still hate it.
I’m not your buddy, pal! (╯°□°）╯
(ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ Oh no! A ghost!
I said what I said! ಠ_ಠ
I respect it, appreciate it even. But my God, I hate that film.
Oh valid, my bad. I saw it in passing when I googled him and put two and two together to make eight lol
Hmm, I did some quick googles. Wiki didn’t have much on his finances, just his work. But from few sites, it seems he definitely was blacklisted but made a return throughout the 70s and 80s but nothing big took off and he still ended up broke doing commercials because he lived too loud with his money. So it seems it started with being blacklisted but he also was spending too much money? I dunno. I’d have to read more, but sounds about right from what I remember of a film appreciation course I took a decade ago that started with fkn citizen cane.
At least you had the common courtesy not to comment with the panic (๑•﹏•)
Thank you thank you! I panic commented because it was driving me nuts. Then realized I could Google old man wine commercial and got the answer.
But I appreciate you! Thank you!
That guy is someone famous and lost all his money so he did ads, right? I cannot remember his name and it’s driving me insane. I think he like… Directed films? If I recall correctly, he was a bit of an ass.
I cannot remember his name. 😭
Edit: I googled old man wine commercial.
It’s Orson Welles. The author of War of the Worlds and I think Citizen Cane. Itch scratched!
Side note, citizen cane is awful. I don’t care that it’s said to be top cinema. I hate that boring waste of 3hrs.
16 if I’m cold, 17 if I’m warm, 20 if I just got out the shower right before bed. If I shower and stay up reading or such, back to 16/17. Tits out for harambe, 100%.
Agreed on the second part. I don’t understand why anyone would want to sleep in a place like that.
But I disagree on the first part. Should all be rubble, imo. Glorifying the traitors just set us up for the current situation since the plants that have grown are just as rotten as the root imo. The only reason the man got office is because he co-opted the movement that’s been in play for at least 60 years by the likes of turtle-lookin fuckbag McConnell. Remember the Tea Party a few years ago? All of this is a culmination of years of effort by the right wings to push out progressive ideals. Trump just took advantage of the hysteria and pushed the GOP old guard out and set him up as narcissist supreme.
Remove the reminders of the old days as physical locations, imo.
Like the Confederate statues? Nah. Tear it down. It doesn’t serve as a reminder to prevent. It serves as a monolithic idol for shitty people to rally around and mythologize.
I don’t advocate burning history altogether, but keeping shitty places and statues around for shitty people to glorify serves the exact opposite of preserving the history. It just gives them hope and ideas that the “old days” will come back around. Take a picture or something and put it in a museum, at most. And make the museum about the horrific acts and atrocities, not about preserving the history of the vile.
There’s a reason the Vietnam memorial is so iconic. It lists the soldier’s names, and it preserves their legacy as a reminder of pointless war. But it doesn’t glorify the war. Same for the ground zero memorial in NYC. It does not glorify the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor the atrocities that occured over there despite the reminder from the Vietnam war. It serves to remind of the lives of many that were taken.
The only reason I’m okay with the preservation of the Holocaust memorial locations is that the history of the people murdered there is on display. The scratches in the walls. Their glasses and belongings. The current political situation aside, people can go there and see the evil that occured as a somber reminder. Whether they are one of the peoples that those atrocities happened to or not.
Yet still, shitty people pose on the tracks for instagram, or go there for the evil itself, rather than that somber reminder.
A slave house, plantation, or Confederate statue isn’t a somber reminder. It’s simply there because they want glorify the shitty acts and want them to come back around. They want to remind people what they think the worth of their existence is. They want to deify their generals and create some type of mythology to their history. There’s nothing there for the people who were abused or murdered in those times. It only stands currently so people now can say they want to preserve “the history,” which is the history of the abusers and the murderers.
Craps table look mighty good right about now then, eh? Lol
I get why Wall Street in the films is a nightmare of yelling and phones tho. Sounds too frustrating to me. I hate gambling. Not on a moral authority or nada, but on the basis that it’s just dumb lol. Sounds like stocks is just a more complicated dumb.
That’s makes a lot of sense. Thank you for informing me!
Oh I love an info dump. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. It sounds like a twisted way to fuck yourself over financially or hit it real big.
… I’d rather take my chances at a craps table, sheesh!
Thanks again!
Lol, could’ve been bad. I hate the new UI.
