Other random LEGO question: Is there any website that I can upload a picture of something to it, and it will create LEGO instructions/create a piece list for me? I’d really love to have/build a LEGO version of The Ark starship from The Transformers, but I don’t think it exists.
Wasn’t the white power ranger the green power ranger first, or am I misremembering the story (it’s been a while, sorry)?

If I’m startled, like a jump-scare or something, I’ll likely gasp, but if I see a car accident or someone falling or something explode, I’m far more likely to say “Oh shit” than gasp.
On a semi-related note, I really hate the people (mostly women, sorry ladies, and I say this as a woman myself) who scream when something bad happens, but the bad thing didn’t happen directly to them, they are just witnessing the bad thing. And they scream anyway. I hate that shit.
I think it’s some animal instinct thing leftover from our primitive days that’s supposed to draw attention to the bad thing? But at this point in our evolution it just feels like that person is drawing attention to themselves and away from the actual issue.
Uhh, you mean like this? https://engrish.com/
Oh I’m thankful for the replacement, I’m just not thrilled with now having to find a way to properly dispose of the faulty one.
They didn’t offer that, they only offered a replacement.
Not to hijack your question, but I’m in a similar situation where the Anker power bank I use to charge my phone got recalled because it can apparently cause fires. Lurking here to see how people respond to your question, because I know I shouldn’t just throw it away, and none of the battery recycle places around town will take it because it’s been recalled.
Only infidels think more than one move ahead!
I’m worried this is happening to me right now. I’m in my mid-40s and lately the day after all the spicy foods I usually consume have not been pleasant. Is there no fix for this??
I wanted to give a second vote for discord. I’m in several channels that aren’t for videogames but for my other hobbies, and things like age/gender never even really come up because everyone is there to talk about whatever said hobby is. Then again, I do most of my communication through text and not voice and I suppose that can make a difference when dealing with the younger crowds.
There’s a book called The Black Eagle Inn by Christoph Fischer that kinda delves into this. I read it because I was interested in the same thing in terms of the “average” person living in Nazi Germany, but man it was a slog to get through and it’s only 300 pages. I don’t know if it’s just poorly translated or what, but the writing is awful. I’m sure there are better books out there, but you might want to give the book a try.
I love my kids so much I chose not to bring them into this fucked up world.
Please refrain from doing anything for this delicate snowflake in the future, he doesn’t deserve your time.
It’s a BBQ, it’s ok to use your hands!
I never played Oblivion, only Skyrim, which I loved. Is it worth buying the remastered edition, or is it gonna be so similar to Skyrim that it’s not worth the money?
This is interesting to me because in the moment after accomplishing something, I feel great about it. It’s only after time has passed that I look back at that accomplishment and my collective accomplishments throughout life and think to myself “omg, I haven’t done anything, I’m such a loser”, when I have in fact done plenty of things. I have no idea where that thought process comes from. I am not afraid to succeed; I have had to work hard for some, but not all, of my accomplishments. Maybe it’s a “comparing myself to others” thing?
It would be interesting to see if it’s ever happened in the past, for sure. I too assumed it was due to poor education, but the three people I mentioned (my old boss and the 2 new coworkers) all came from different areas of the U.S. and are each in different generations (1 Boomer, 1 Gen X, 1 Millennial), so they all have very different backgrounds/education experiences, yet they ALL struggle to read anything longer than a single sentence. It’s infuriating. I try to be patient, because hey, we all have our thing we suck at, but it’s honestly a little scary that they and so many other are out there not following directions simply because they can’t read them.
Reading comprehension has gone down the tubes. I dunno if it’s from people watching too many TikToks and their attention span can’t handle reading more than one sentence anymore, or what, but I have definitely noticed a change in people’s ability to read and understand the content of what they just read.
Where I work, my old boss never wrote anything down, did not like to communicate via email, and insisted on phone calls/verbal meetings instead. When they announced they were taking a new job, we begged them to create an SOP of all the things they did with detailed instructions because NONE of it had ever been written down. We were told no, they couldn’t do that. No explanation other than “I can’t.” And I’m convinced that they simply couldn’t read, or could BARELY read.
So I created the SOP instead, detailed as hell, everything in one place. Sections, subsections, hyperlinks, it’s all there. 2 new employees come into the office, I’m supposed to train them. I do, and I show them the SOP, tell them “everything you need to know is in this SOP”, so that AFTER I train them, they can reference it.
They never reference it, ever. They ask me how to do the things they’ve forgotten instead. I just point them to the correct section in the SOP and tell them to read it. BUT THEY DON’T READ. It’s insane! How do they get by in life in general!?
My parents let me watch this when it came out. I was 8. RIP cartoon shoe.
