TIL capybaras are actually coconut shaped dogs

If it’s horror comedy like The Menu I’d probably like it. Tough category to pull off though

A fresh horror movie to watch that I have never heard of before?

Yes please!

This is the kind of news I want to see on my front page, instead of all the doom.

There’s a Nicole community now?

Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair

I just finished watching it this morning, I liked it. I did not go into it expecting serious sci fi, so my experience was different than yours.

It’s a light snack, nothing heavy to chew on. Good for a few laughs.

As someone who has been annoyed at the cultural swirl around the twilight movies, I have to admit Robert Pattinson unpleasantly dying a bunch of times enhanced my enjoyment of the movie a little bit.

Yes it was trope-y, but I also wasn’t setting the bar very high either. The obvious political caricature in space was too on the nose but I otherwise enjoyed seeing ruffalo step outside of playing that big green dude.

This felt like it was influenced by a coen brothers movie or the fifth element, a type of movie I enjoy. Tropey, but fun.

For me the downside was the trump in space was painted on way too thick, even if he lost it would have been too much.

I give this 4 mark ruffalos

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

Where have you been all my life?

This is exactly the tool I needed. Thank you so much!

Oh she’s using a new picture now?

I’ll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

Since mastodon can interact with us, does that mean bluesky can too?

What year is it?!

I just have never been impressed with Anthony Mackie. He’s always kind of been a mediocre actor which is fine if you’re in a side character role, but he doesn’t stand up to playing the star character. I’m convinced his performance in the second season of Altered Carbon is why it got cancelled, because that first season was some excellent sci-fi and the lead in that season was good and most importantly convincing. Mackie fell flat.

So him suddenly being the new captain America is…lol. What did marvel think was going to happen here. It’s like that second black panther movie where that antivax lady became the star character. Thrust into the lead role and the movie fell apart.

Anything with Mackie in it will suffer the same fate. I hope this proves me wrong though

I’m doing my small part.

This is why I don’t update Nvidia drivers unless there’s a fix I need. If it’s stable, that’s all I want.

Family has been using this for years now

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action
