Coming to this a month late, as I just watched the movie and did some searching to see what people thought.

I’m not sure if I totally missed something or people were just reading too much into it, but I didn’t get any kind of trans messaging/interpretation at all. I just thought that Nic Cage was supposed to be a Satanic weirdo (and as you said, I took him as a cis-man). Honestly, Cage’s character being trans didn’t cross my mind at all, I just thought that he was a weirdo.

I think Mint is better out of the box than it used to be. I was on it maybe 5 or 6 years ago and had to troubleshoot a few issues, but I just came back to it a few months ago and everything worked flawlessly out of the box.

I’m relatively new to Mint, but I thought that sudo apt update just checked for updates and sudo apt upgrade -y was for actually installing the updates. I don’t see why that would break it though.

I’m from Metro Detroit so we have Detroit City FC, which are an absolute blast; but I’ve wanted to get into watching higher caliber football, so I really want a gateway into caring about the MLS.

Awesome to see. I’ve really been trying to become a MLS fan but not having a local team has made it difficult when you’re used to having a local team in every other sport. I’m not really sure where to start watching otherwise. Unless I just pick a team.

In my experience Google is a bit better than DDG. I tried it out a few years ago and often found myself going back to Google for certain searches. Been using DDG again for a few weeks and having a somewhat similar experience.

I agree, but in my experience the focused communities that I liked to browse on Reddit were almost never toxic. The difference may be that I deliberately went to the specific communities that I was interested in; I generally never just browsed Popular, where I’m sure the bulk of the toxicity was.

Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in have next to no activity here, so I would definitely like to see more users.

Pretty much none of the communities that I used to browse on Reddit are active here, so I wouldn’t mind more people here.

Riki Tiki Tavi by Donovan is an absolute banger though.

In my experience, Instagram has also become the most reliable source for local restaurants randomly being closed (this has happened more often than I would like to discuss post-pandemic) and breweries (i.e. which food truck is at which brewery on any given day).

I have found those to be the only reasons that I ever check Instagram.
