Ew. Is that a text editor? (I use KDE and that kind of UI WTF would irritate the hell out of me enough to switch, too! I don't use kate, though, if that's what that is.)

Nice, I don't know why, but I was picturing the pink car going fast enough to squeal their tires like they used to in the one nearest where I live. We only got roundabouts here a decade or two ago, so they're still a novelty to most. I don't drive much, as you can probably tell.

Glad to help! XD

I've been meaning to try Logdy out. Thanks for the reminder!

I don't know what to tell you. I'm glad your experience was better than mine and you enjoyed them!

Haha, yeah! Most home theaters don't have a decent set-up, either. (I sure as heck can't afford that hardware if I can't afford theater tix...) When even headphones don't help me understand the dialog, then something is really wrong in their process. :b

Glad to hear Brave isn't awful. I haven't tried it as I'm trying to avoid Chrome entirely for now.

I've been using IceRaven/Mull on a very old (out of support) LG phone, and I'm not sure I entirely understand the "pauses" thing? I don't see meaningful pauses when I switch tabs, other than the page reloading if it was purged from RAM. But like. That happens in Safari on iOS on a brand new phone, too, so it's not entirely an Android-specific complaint.

Honestly, all mobile browsers are UI train-wrecks of one kind or another. For me it was this exact process of elimination to decide which I like least, and then from there deciding which inflict the fewest paper cuts. For me, FF sync (settings mostly, but also tab sets) was more important than whatever memory problems Mozilla rebrands might have. :(

I don't follow the rules only because I don't drive at all. Otherwise, yes, you are correct, I don't follow rules which endanger my life. Just weird that way.

Haha. I had access to subtitles when I watched Dark Knight, so it wasn't as awful an experience.. For Inception, Tenet, and Interstellar I just had no idea what was even happening, at all. (Bounced off Inception in the first few minutes because I just didn't GAF.) My experiences have been so frustrating I vowed not to watch his stuff until he improved his craft.

Like, I get that he's not interested in anyone else's opinion about his art. That's cool, he should be doing his own thing! But he's making a lot of inaccessible shovelware crap that's gonna be on sale in discount bins in only years, and really truly doesn't care. Bleh!

I tried, I really did. It just made me uncomfortably bored. (Which from someone who's rewatched every MST3K I could get my hands on a dozen or so times each, is saying something. :)

I love bad movies as well. This one was too far over the line for me, I just wasn't interested in its specific brand of "meh". (Admittedly I have never read the book, and have never heard anything good about this author before, despite reading a ton of sc-fi. Maybe you need to know the author to enjoy it?)

I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else's driving. Utopian ideals, man.

Great. Now if he'd invest in some sound techs, microphones, or ADR studio time, he'd be making films that might interest me...

I can understand less than half the dialog in his works, which is pretty frustrating. If I remember correctly he's actually gone on record that this is intentional, too.
