  If anyone is looking for a search engine term, they are all Abrahamic religions, if memory serves.

  That and I doubt he wants to be shooting ready in an antman costume to walk around the neighborhood with his daughter.

  His costume, other than the wig, is comfy as fuck. He can transition into whatever the night reasonably holds without have to have costumers remove the stuff and strip him of makeup, etc.

  Besides, its probably in his contract to NOT portray his marvel character OUTSIDE of the movies, simply to retain proper branding. If he tried to put on his own antman getup, it would pale in comparison to a pound of makeup backed up by CGI artists.

  I have to call out Mirror’s Edge, it is a great experience if you have the right mindset.

  Trying to play it with an FPS philosophy is not the way.

  Its fine, just add it to their school lunch debt.

  /s, obviously I hope.

  The Adams family game for the NES.

  I never could get past the freezer section, but I never got to try much. It was my cousins’ game and they lived in a different state.

  Imagine losing your father in a tragic fashion, only for Hollywood execs to make a marketable facsimile of appearance and voice. If they could store his corpse and make it dance like a marionette they would.

  Talk about retraumatizing the poor lady.

  Sole IT person for a corporation and was on call 24/7/365.

  It was just supposed to be a help desk position.

  It was for an MSP that… Well, the whole thing was a nightmare, but I had lost my IT hospitality job due to covid and the place shuttering. I was desperate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eyes are freaky af⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any sources on that?

  I’m not trying to call you out, I’m interested in reading more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don't like Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve developed some PTSD like symptoms for when my phone goes off.

  Notification, call, whatever. Immediate panic and I have to remember to breathe.

  Even trimming every notification I can, it still happens several times throughout the day, and my phone only has audible notifications when I’m at home, most from my wife.

  I left that job over a year ago and still I can’t shake it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Actually Clean Install Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an issue switching away from Pop!, and it may have been a one off, but when I tried to install a different distro, and it wound up screwing up my boot partition to the point the easiest thing was just to run a live distro, pop open parted, and wipe from there before I could install a different distro.

  Mostly mentioning it because it was annoying to figure out and remedy - the remedy was annoying because I only had one flash drive so I had to wipe what I wanted to install, and just wasting time regarding that.

  Did the prick die, or just get a golden parachute?

  That has become the primary use for my flipper, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you hop distros?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I started with Backtrack on a laptop, and I currently have Kali on a preserved USB; with endeavor as a daily driver.

  That being said, my current “real” daily drivers in Win10, mostly for gaming - Not because proton doesn’t do a hell of a job, it certainly does, but it makes modding single player games more complicated. I will say that is absolutely my fault, I haven’t spent enough time to figure it out. But after work, and the wife, and the animals, and the alcoholic BIL who shares the house… I just want to use Vortex to add some simple QOL mods to single player games and play it.

  I troubleshoot IT issues all day at work, at the end of the day, I just need it to work. I’ve hardened and removed as much telemetry type bullshit as I could, but I’m sure some slips out. For my threat model, on this machine, I’m fine with it.

  On the aforementioned labtop I boot into Kali for… well, that has a different threat model.

  Its all self hosted vulnerable VMs for the specific reason of education, but some activities may fall into a grey area, so better safe than sorry.

  Tell that to, I dunno, everyone else.

  They certainly think so.

  I’ve been wary of corporations since I first read Neuromancer.

  Most of my actual thoughts in the shower revolve around destroying whatever made me leave the house, thus necessitating a shower on THEIR schedule.

  I like showers, and love a hot bath… I don’t love water prices here locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Burn Notice" worth watching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll agree with that statement.

  Its good background noise, you don’t have to follow too many subtle nuances or anything.

  The formulaic nature actually helps with this, just catch the quips and mcguyver stuff and you’ve gotten 90% of the shows value.

  This has to be satire, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know a good Linux live image for diagnosing systems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Kali was built out as a penetration testing distro, though it does contain some diagnostic tools.

  Not a bad place to start if you’re used to Debian, but it is a rolling release so it may break unexpectedly, or have new bugs introduced with each update.

  A persistent USB with just Debian could have all the same tools installed but have a longer support scope on releases so you don’t have to update daily (bleeding edge) which is nice to reduce read/writes to the flash drive it’s on.

  That being said, I keep a Kali live image (persistent) but thats becauae its home - my first introduction to Linux was 5 minutes with Red Hat, but aside from a brief intro in highschool, I really started with Linux in Backtrack, offensive security’s predecessor to Kali.

  Yes, I have to learn things the hard way lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bethesda games serve as a framework in my mind.

  Its like a tech demo saying look at what we did with this engine and tools… The modders turn a game I play once or twice into…

  Wait, lemme math out the combined hours between versions… Over 3k hours. And that’s rookie hours, and some if my time was just pausing the game, going to bed then work, and resuming with steam counting the hours the game was idle but launched.

  Bethesda games are a great foundation to build upon, but modders keep me coming back to it. And buying different versions of the same game.

  Doom, and Eternal are different types of games, developed differently, for different purposes. Never found too many issues in either of those games. Most issues were skill issues, lol.

  I refer to mine with much ruder terms, but she often misses deliveries, so yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgraceful⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean someone would go on the internet and just tell lies?

  Say it ain’t so.

  Also, any “proof” that is presented as an edited image is clearly disingenuous from the beginning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You say we don’t need more policing, but I have a point to interject.

  I was completely sober while my wife was decidedly… not. She had just struck me and it would produce a black eye later.

  I called the police, aside from the abuse, my wife was experiencing a mental breakdown and was on the verge of suicide. When I say verge, I mean I had hidden or destroyed anything she could hurt herself with, including my own psych meds that I need for my own mental health issues. She still tried, though ineffectual. We needed professional help. We wanted an ambulance. We requested an ambulance from 911. The pigs showed up, of course.

  I had a swelling eye, a witness, and a dramatically unstable wife and was almost arrested.

  The police do not care about your well being. “Support and protect” has been stricken down by the Supreme Court. The police serve the 1%, and deal with us plebians as easily as possible… that is to say, they will ruin your life because it is easier than taking care of the actual offended.

  We need a support agency for health, especially mental health, crises. A mentally unstable person can cause a lot of damage, either to their own life, or others. That includes death.

  End statement. TL;DR; we need a public agency that helps people who are having a mental health crisis and doesn’t treat them as violent extremists.
