Is there a reason to not just use the laptop? It’s already bought and paid for. I would just setup it up for maximal ease; get a good keyboard and mouse and side table she’s comfortable with, bookmark everything for her, set the TV’s default source to the PC, make all the text 200% size or greater so it’s easy to read from 3m out.
Inflammation is measurable. Where are the studies correlating inflammation measured via whatever medical scans to depression diagnoses?
An incomplete article if the studies exist and weren’t mentioned. A useless hypothesis if the guy is already authoring books but hasn’t done any studies yet.
Waiting to board a plane and then I’m going to nap so hard. I should get some jet engine wash tracks for sleeping normally at home. I am usually asleep before the plane takes off.
Just watch the movie, there’s only one at the moment. Sequels are planned but not out yet. Or if you really don’t want to invest an hour and a half to watch the movie, there are probably recap videos on YouTube.

Aye. Bookmarking this thread to remind people when I see complaints Lemmy isn’t taking off enough except for super technical topics.
Description from Letterboxd:
A woman answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious high-rise in New York City, not realizing she is entering a community that has seen a number of disappearances over the years and may be under the grip of a Satanic cult.
In addition to Zazie Beetz on the poster, the cast includes Patricia Arquette and Tom Felton.
I use an app that doesn’t show profile pictures by default.
I apply a user tag to anyone I want to recognize.
And I’m also atheist, but raised Catholic and had a few schoolmates who became priests or nuns, and even more who explored it but left before making a permanent commitment.
I’ve got enough anecdotal evidence to cast a very skeptical eye on your claim that homeless broke dudes are the ones that go into the priesthood. So in an effort to get something a little better than my anecdotes, I websearched the phrase “demographics of men who become priests”
And got this page, https://www.thecatholictelegraph.com/over-400-men-in-u-s-to-be-ordained-in-2025-most-felt-called-to-priesthood-by-age-16/100087, which says:
On average, ordinands first started to consider becoming a priest at 16 years old, but 35% said they began to think about entering the priesthood in elementary school between the ages of 6 and 13.
Not lining up with your theory unless you think there’s a lot of homeless 16 year olds becoming priests.
And I guess caveat that I’m in US currently, most familiar with Western countries approach to Catholic religious life.
Who hasn’t experienced some personal calamity? Seems like something that can be retroactively applied to anyone.
Dude went into the seminary to become a priest after his girlfriend dumped him? Personal calamity! He’s hiding from future dumpings by becoming a priest!
I had some great aunts, now deceased, who became nuns and didn’t really own anything themselves personally.
Wicked, in prep for Wicked 2.
Prince of Darkness (1987). I learned it’s part of John Carpenter’s “Apocalypse Trilogy” along with The Thing and In the Mouth of Madness. The latter being my favorite JC movie.
I had a college sports team reunion and several teammates asked for a copy of a championship game. I still had the digital file, so posted it in a Dropbox thinking that would be easy enough for people whose hobbies don’t involve computers.
Nope, I was spending too much time on tech support so offered flash drives with video files.
Nope, still too much for two teammates so after a phone call to understand what tech they had at home and were comfortable with, I burned them each DVDs.
It didn’t get that far, but I was prepared to use my library’s digital-to-VHS-to-digital workstation to copy them an old-timey VHS tape if the DVDs didn’t work. The library even has a stash of never-unwrapped VHS tapes they’ll sell you.
Can’t read the article without giving them my email address so they can send me spam.
Maybe no one knows what movies are coming out because the high-quality information is behind paywalls and the low-quality information is either blocked or ignored due to volume.
If they want me to know about their movies, they’ll run informative, on-topic ads without tucking them behind a paywall and without drowning them out in a sea of other less-relevent ads.
Avatar 3. Graphics were not improved enough over 2 to warrant watching it for that reason. Narratively, a repeat of 2 and about an hour too long in runtime.
Silent Night, Deadly Night 1 & 2 in prep for the remake. I had forgotten the origin of “Garbage Day!” and was delighted to rediscover it.
This is me, I went along when invited by friends to see the graphics.
This one wasn’t worth it, there’s been no advancement since 2. And since most of the filming has been done for 4 and 5 already, I’m not expecting them to show any technology growth either.
I saw it in a Dolby theater rather than IMAX. I don’t think IMAX would have made enough difference to change my mind.
I plan on telling her parents and surprising her by having them sign her up for the trip.
If she wants to go to Germany, she can talk to her own parents. I can’t imagine any good reason for you to get involved and talk to her parents without her knowing. Maybe I’m missing some context, but seems like a lot of not-your-business.

Goddamit. I was hoping that was just a meme people were starting to say about any cast list. But no, that creep is actually in the movie.
I so want to know who’s sex tapes he has that gives him this much blackmail leverage.
