Per [Vanity Fair], he was outfitted with fake teeth, a slightly different nose and glasses. When he tested the look at outdoor Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, “Nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But the tide evidently soon turned. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous,” he told VF.

The actor, who has been working steadily since the late 70s and became a megastar with 1984’s Footloose, also told VF, “I honestly feel very grateful for where I happen to be. That I can have two totally different movies coming out within a couple of days of each other, and completely different roles. The fact they would both come my way is the thing that I feel the most gratitude for. I’ve fought really long and hard for it.”

I suppose I'm conservative according to lemmy, (I'm also not great at internet arguments, but do like conversation, so let's keep this nice.) Also, I'm not an expert, but I'd like to get the ball rolling here.

In my opinion, I think modern society is just more disrespectful. Social media makes the "shock and awe" approach the way to go to get views and get heard. Everyone is just pursuing their own "mic drop" moment. There's just so much noise.

So to get heard and stand out you have to get more extreme and entrench in your own views.

So how do we fix it?

In my mind, respect comes from better parenting. More time off from work for people does not necessarily mean more time with their own kids, but it certainly can't hurt. So maybe a reduction in the normal working week from 40 hours to maybe 35 would make a difference.

I'm not sure how we could make incentives to have people be better parents.

Buy a 3D printer to make a custom cover. 2 years later you'll be too busy maintaining ("upgrading") your printer that you'll forget why you got it in the first place.

It's funny because +44 is the ITU country code for international direct dial telephone calls to the United Kingdom.

It depends, it may not be. TOS are not as ironclad as they appear.

What procedures do I need? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I think it would be helpful if we have a few posts this time of year to help new teachers.

So, what are some of your favorite procedures?

Looking to upgrade my CPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

I currently have a Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor in my main build (built in 2016) and I'm ready for an upgrade.

Can someone recommend me a new cpu? I'd like something a little beefier and hopefully not have to get a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-B150M-DS3H LGA-1151 socket)

Santi wants out, we're plagued by injuries, and it seems like Gio has lost the locker room. Do we clean house, or try to rebuild with what we have?

I was wondering if it would be best to house a transcriber community here on rblind.com or should I make a community on another instance. I helped with r/TranscribersOfReddit and would be happy to try and build more accessibility here on Lemmy.

This website is exploitative garbage with no respect given to all the app makers and third party developers that have kept its decrepit heart beating all this time, submitted by /u/awkwardtheturtle to /u/awkwardtheturtle

/u/spez is a liar and a hypocrite, the admins are two-faced goons, and they are all toxic embarrassments instead of people. They seemed ok when I met them in person (though tiny Spez did seem like he had a lot to compensate for), but promises and assurances from people like chtorrr and redtaboo have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are stooges, not innovators.

Let it all burn to the ground where this useless website belongs

Would it be okay for me to use the templates on lemmy? I'm willing to change the footers.

/u/MurdoMaclachlan [mod] ...

Absolutely! As long as you aren't using the footer, because that signifies official transcriptions, you can use the templates wherever you want to.

I asked the mods of r/transcribersOfReddit, and they said we could use the templates as long as we changed/removed the footer where it mentions the subreddit.

Best online VPS (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm looking to learn more by using a VPS and spinning up a few instances. Can anyone recommend a cheaper VPS service?

Please let me know if it would be better to post this in a different community. TYIA

Not my channel, but I am a fan. It's cool to see him take apart and service watches. Great secondary monitor content.
