I mean, I’ll eventually watch this because I’m a little piggy that loves their slop but at no point in the last 24 years have I thought to myself, “I need to see another goth revenge fantasy version of the previous four goth revenge fantasy movies.”

I’m sure the cinematography is on point and the actors did their job of being actors, the bare minimum. It’s just… where can you go with this franchise? First movie was good, the next three were the same story with a different color pallet.

Not sure who was excited about either a retread of the original or a fifth movie.

Shit… I talked myself into wanting to watch this. Did this get made for zoomers? Will this be a zoomer Rosetta Stone for us aging millenials?

Hate it when you walk around the woods/pasture and notice a dark streak on your pants... and then realize that its fucking moving.

Jogging back to the house like "sht sht sh*t".

Flying 1600km just to check emails and tell an underling to bring them coffee... nice.

How would you react if Reddit joined the fediverse? in c/[email protected]

It would instantly de-fed from all the cool people, all the shitty leminitors probably would be reabsorbed back into fed-Reddit and those Reddit clone lemmy comms would die.

brand-new reboot

Wait... was there a previous reboot? Outside of the "The Crow: The TV Series" that I stopped watching after a few episodes... I thought I had seen all the movies. Was there a previous reboot that I missed?

seek merciless revenge... to put the wrong things right

You get one or the other, you don't get both in a, The Crow, movie.

I really wish I could remember the first time I noticed this.

It must have been mind blowing.

150+ pounds so far (that I need to get put in the freezer) and probably another 100 still in the tree.

Affordable Connectivity Program, my results so far... (acpbenefit.org)

A comrade posted about this USA federal program a while ago. So I spent a few days looking into it.

Website was fairly clear, making an account was no problem, site function is pretty good (no hanging pages, dead links, etc). There's a link to a page where you can put in your city/state or zip code and it gives a <100% accurate list of businesses that participate in the program. (So if you already have a service provider and they aren't listed, call their customer service number and ask if they participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program. Two of the local telecoms that service my area participate, and their customer service people absolutely knew about the program and seemed genuinely happy to let me know what I needed to do.)

It took a day or so for the ACP site to tell me I was approved. The first page after logging in to the site has your "Application ID" right there for you to see. This is the magic number to give to your ISP. I contacted my ISP about midway through the billing cycle and gave them the info they wanted. They didn't contact me to let me know when the discount was going to be applied but it showed up as a 30 dollar credit on my next full month's bill. Which dropped my current internet bill down by 77%.

So, its all very :hexbear-retro:, so far.

A new internet service just came out to my house today to finish running actual fiberoptic with ~100Mbps up/down (compared to my original provider with 15/1... which is ... :downbear: ). From the ACP site's FAQ page, the credit is transferable to a new ISP and all I think I needed to do was just give the new ISP the Application ID number. So I've started the process with the new ISP and get to wait to see if I understood the program's directions for transferring the credit correctly.

So at the very least, if you're already on some government assistance, this should be a breeze if you want to try for it.

I didn't look at the part of the application process for people who would need to provide more documentation for income verification. So I don't have any useful things to say about that.
