    What makes a horror movie good to you?

    Jump

  • Horror isn't one thing. There are plenty of subgenres.

    There's gruesome violence (Hellraiser, Hostel, Saw)

    There's body horror (Ugly Stepsister, The Substance)

    There's psychological horror with building suspense and dread of the unknown (Babadook, Blair Witch Project)

    Monster, zombie, supernatural, etc horror

    Jump scare horror (fuck everything about this shit, why do people watch this)

    Horror comedy

    I'm sure there are way more..... But I really dislike some subgenres and really love others.

  • How much sleep do you get a day and how much would you like to get a day?

    Jump

  • About 6 hours on average. There's a lot of boom and bust though. 9 hours when off, 5 hours sometimes during the week.

    I really badly want this to settle in an average of 7 hours daily.... But I've been really unsuccessful in rewiring my brain to be disciplined enough.

  • I agree with what you've said. I'm very comfortably self sustaining now with a wife and kids and house, and still my parents want to give me stuff. I've recently bought a car and my parents jumped in asking that they would like to contribute. I save everything I can because I'll be spending it on my kids. But then again I also try to spend on my parents whenever I can, although they're pretty well off so there isn't much opportunity there.

    Your post is indirectly asking how much extra money people make and have saved up. Unfortunately, with how things are now, people will not have enough to ever buy their own house; much less buy their kids a house, car, etc. On top of that people have strong opinions about not "spoiling" children and wanting to spend on themselves. Look at how much holidays cost and how badly people want to go on holiday. It's very easy to spend what could have been a house deposit for your child on your own holidays and luxuries instead.

    I'm really shocked by the lack of family and community cohesion in England as well. Most young adults rant about how annoying and dislikeable their parents are and how badly they want to escape to a university on the other side of the country. Professional adults I work with will openly and unashamedly say that they can't wait for their kid to leave home for university so they can be rid of the burden and then say how much more they love their dog than their kid. I remember a bank ad that used to be on TV that showed how annoying it was for a young adult to live in his parent's house, but their rules and unable to get a moment of intimacy at home with his girlfriend.....so he should get a mortgage to get a flat. The idea of co-support and co-dependence you describe is unusual here.

  • The concept of teen superheroes is stupid and boring

    Jump

  • USA seems to be very high-school obsessed generally. It seems that there really is a strong nostalgia for a time when you had time and ambition and potentially could be anything and were finding your real self and navigating your first relationships. Also, I wonder if comics used to be solely of interest to teenage boys at some point decades ago and it was much more successful to write stories they could relate to. Older readers would be able to relate to a time they've lived through anyway.

    Teenage stories have a place, but I agree it's way overdone. I enjoy the more grown up superheroes a lot more. Peter Parker is much more interesting when he's an adult. Daredevil is much more interesting for being a working lawyer and this complementing his superhero work.

  • What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself?

    Jump

  • It takes a bit of learning and help, but you can get good at doing a gradient.

    I've been doing a #1 or #0 all over for ages. Clippers work out great for me. No skill required.

  • What's the deal with breakfast in bed?

    Jump

  • This. Breakfast in bed is totally overrated.

    Top tier breakfast as a kid was taking the blanket to the couch after waking up and sitting in front of the TV and mom brining breakfast there. Its the same now....best breakfast is sitting upright in the lounge, although control of crumbs remains a problem.

  • Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?

    Jump

  • I don't know much about Home Assistant, but you could keep that separate on an R.Pi of its own. Or install it as a native app on Debian if you use a desktop OS on your server.

    Tinkering is fun. Home server is one of the few projects that have gone through to full completion. Silksong will take up my time for now till I find a new project. Might just make a new macropad for work.

    Let me know if you want any details of my setup. I basically used 2 weeks off in July to set this whole thing up. There are lots of great Docker apps once you learn to set it up. AI has made this much easier to get into now.

  • I've heard of Docker Desktop, but sounds like it was not well received.

    Don't know what this means. Docker is universally loved and works perfectly on desktop OSs.

    I'm running Debian on my server mini PC. Docker will work on any installation of Windows, Linux, etc and work perfectly well. I played around with it initially by setting up a virtual machine with Debian on my gaming computer and seeing if I could get Docker apps working.

    Fast forward to now, and I'm kinda sad that my server is all set up and stable and I have nothing to tinker with.

  • Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?

    Jump

  • I started with a 2 bay Synology NAS (still have this as storage only and no computing) and added a 12the gen i5 mini PC I got on eBay for £230. That's worked out great and I would highly recommend it. If you're on a budget then look for some older hardware.

    Docker is also not that difficult to get started with and worth messing around with to learn. I started on with Docker on my Synology and out grew that quickly and have been really happy with my mini PC.

    How successful would a masked vigilante be in real life?

    Jump

  • Low level individual crimes wouldn't be practical. Probably more worthwhile to try to follow more reliable organised crime or repeat offending criminals or something. Although even that wouldn't practical as an individual without serious investigative resources and you'd still probably end up dead pretty quickly.

    The only successful vigilantism is probably the online entrapment of paedophiles or something of that sort. Even that is highly questionable.

  • Yup, you've mentioned the solution. Podcasts. Even for podcasts, just swipe away the ones you don't like the title of .

  • I come for amusing memes. All I see is American politics. Isn't there some other place for political memes to keep this shit separate? Or maybe some tagging system to help with using a keyword blocker?

    Mods haven't added much to the sidebar rules. Any opinion from the mods or community?

  • Was it underrated? People were crazy about it when it was airing. It was super popular and very well loved.

  • Adulting is hard

    Jump

  • I come across a lot of angsty rebellious teenagers in my line of work. This is a lesson some of them never learn. That "freedom" that they yearn for and lash out at everyone....

    I tell them that they're about to be adults. They could literally go outside and eat dirt, never shower again and only speak in swear words; and no one will come to arrest them. The things that the parents said weren't for the parents' benefit, and those training wheels are about to fall off pretty soon.

    The F*** is wrong with people 😒 (Tik Tok)

    Jump

  • I understand having a dislike for a medium that encourages shallow, gimmicky, reactive content. I would put short form video and micro blogging (Twitter, etc) in the same category. I wouldn't say "its all shit, why does it exist", etc. But I know I'm not going to find much of my interest so I avoid it.

    But then Reddit (and even Lemmy) get flooded by people just copying over that shit comment from other platforms. I understand the frustration of not really having any good way to avoid the trash.
