Yuri lowenthal movies and tv shows

Howdy there!
I never know how to start these things, so I reckon I'll just get right into it! I imagine this might be a smidge of a lengthy post, but hey, I want you to have a good idea of who you're reachin out to!
I'm Nate! As I mentioned in the title, I'm 29, 6'1, vvvv bearded, really quite tattooed, and just a wee bit pierced. An "alt-nerd" if you will. Here's some [photos](https://imgur.com/a/iSMpb1u) to help with the visual :)
Overall I'm just a occasionally shy & quiet nerd. I like hanging out, playing games, and watching movies/ TV shows. I've never been much of a guy for goin' out on the town, very much prefer being a home body. That being said, I do love driving, and love taking roundtrips (when work allows). Lately I've been binging the walking dead, and beating up demons in diablo 4 which has been a super fun vibe.
Hobby-wise, I really enjoy art. I cant draw, unfortunately a stick figure is out of my ability even, but I can 3D model! It took a lot-lot of practice, but I've become quite decent at it, and hopefully will just become better as I go. I really want to start practicing to become a character artist, one of these days. I also build Warhammer mini's and will occasionally get to play tabletop Warhammer with my brother, though it's a bit of a trip so I dont get to do it super often these days.
Work-wise, I work from home! Infact, if you recall my mention of 3D, I'm actually a 3D artist at a game studio! Honestly, It was a dream job for me, and while I don't love the company I'm with, I'm beyond proud to have made it into the industry and I don't think I could be happier anywhere else.
There's always the "What kind of music do ya listen to 👀" question, and lemmie fill ya in! So I dont typically listen to music while home, truth be told. Mostly because of all the TV/Movie watchin. I typically leave that for driving. However, taste-wise I'm kind of all over the place. I enjoy some viking-metal, Alternative, punk, bit of pop. Indie is probably my favorite genre these days, though. I've been listening to a lot of "rare Americans" in particular. I'm also a big fan of podcasts (mostly, The last podcast on the left!).
Personal life wise, I suppose I'm a bit lonely. I have friends that I might see every once in awhile, though we tend to stick to discord/gaming. I have my own house, though I live a decent bit from a ton of civilization. My bestie is probably my cat these days, honestly. He's a pretty solid bean. I do spend a decent amount of time on social media (mostly twitter, these days), and I have some friends in that area if you want to call them that. I really mostly use it for shit posting/ and for art/job specific stuff. As much as I dislike twitter, It's honestly a great resource in the games industry so it's a bit of a necessary evil.
I suppose this is around when I bring it to a close. If you're still reading, then omg thank you! I reckon you're wondering "Whats this bearded dude lookin for", and well I suppose I'm lookin for what we're all lookin for. A bit of companionship, a best friend? Maybe someone to spend the rest of our years with. Those are kind of big hope though, arnt they. Currently, I just want to meet someone that we can grow organically with. I'm very much a "start as friends" kind of guy. So lets watch some stuff together, maybe play some games, and get to know each other :) Toss me a message if I sound at all interesting to ya! Please please please, tell me a smidge about yourself in the message, and feel free to send a picture too, though it's not required by any means!
Thanks for readin :) Good luck out there!

I remember when I was young I saw this old comedy show on TV or maybe just a sketch from a show I don't know. It looked kind of old like the 70s maybe. There was this old man who asked where the fire extingusher was in some building and this other old man went nuts yelling fire fire and soon everyone ran around in panic until the man just casually said there was no fire he just wanted to know where the extingusher was. Thanks for any help

I run a 1080gtx and on Warzone and Escape from Tarkov it looks like a completely different game when I play on my Samsung 4k tv at 4k vs when I play them on the same tv at 1080 or on an Asus 1080p monitor. What could be the reason why 4k resolution shows up so vibrant while 1080 looks dull? I understand that it’s 4x the amount of pixels and definition but how could it affect the color and contrast so much?

Have you ever had a moment of pure intuition that led to a positive outcome?

Hey, I've watch all the seasons and the movie. I'm planning on showing it to a very good friend during a weekend.
Where would you start if you only had 1 weekend to discover it?
Since Season 5 is, according to me, the peak quality, should I start there and go back to season 1 later?
FYI I started AT by watching season 5&6 on Netflix

Hello guys, I´m a 34 yo from Portugal. I don´t really now how to start this, so here it goes.
I started living together with my wife 9 years ago and the problems started. I was extremely jealous, a control freak, didn´t want to go out to social gatherings, tried to control what she dressed, I putted her down in summary a mess. She had to move from her city (70km) away to live with me so she was also isolated (me and my parents were what she had around), so she started developing a depression, we were always arguing, she made some mistakes that gave me even more power over her and finally in one of the fights it finally downed on me. I´m being an abusive companion and literally a shitty companion.
I agreed with her, that i had to change, that I was wrong so I went to a psychiatrist. he diagnosed me with general anxiety disorder with OC traits and medicated me.
Things started getting a lot better (little by little), I started supporting my wife in her projects, going out to her family and friends (and actually enjoying it), treating her with the respect and love she deserves (she also comes from a dysfunctional family and also has an anxiety disorder).
What I said above was not a day to night change, it was a long journey (still is, I´m still trying to be a better husband, men and I hope in the future ...father).
​
Now things were getting great in my relationship, but I still had bouts of feeling really down and depressed. In those times I didn´t feel like speaking with anyone (I just wanted to be left alone in my shell). My wife started complaining that she didn´t knew what to do and in those lengths of time she was feeling like she was living alone.
psychologist.
This was one year ago and it changed my life. The problem is I thought I had normal, love caring parents. I didn´t.
​
My parents are rich. My father has a company and my mother earns very well, I had a good education in private schools and had things other kids didn´t have. I finished my degree in the Netherlands and was offered a position in a company there, my parents convinced me to return to Portugal and work in the family company. So I came back.
I was paid the minimum wage for 8 years and I thought it was normal because I was learning (that was what my father said... for 8 years).
When we moved together my parents let us stay in a flat they rented to students and always made us feel like we owed them. They criticize my wife (not openly) for being born in a poorer family with remarks that are so infuriating like - "she doesn't know better because she had no real education" , "you have to teach her, because you know...." (mind you that my wife has a degree that she paid for while working. In my opinion it has more value than me going to fancy schools).
In the first years we went through real hardship, the money was not enough, our apartment was in shambles so I asked for a 150€ raise from my father. He called me a mercenary, an ungrateful son, made me feel so bad, stop talking to me for a month (I never asked for a raise again).
After seeing I was going nowhere I asked my father a loan and bought a apartment to rent. Me and my wife put everything we had in that (we had to eat sausages and pasta for a month :)) and rented it. After that we started having some money. We saved and saved and bought another apartment to rent.
My parents never said it´s good that you are investing instead of spending, instead they called me an ambitious monster (funny that after that my father started constructing two luxury houses).
I started investing in the stock market, they said it was a fools game and akin to gambling, than when they saw I was making money I found out my father also has money in the stock market (never asked me for advice of course went to the bank for that and the money he invested is more than I saw in my entire life).
So, we finally started having some quality in our life and started making remodelations in our home (we lived with broken furniture for years, my parents saw that never offered to help), and I convinced my wife to quit her job and pursue her dream. She worked as an administrative in a hospital far away, she had to wake up at 5 a.m to get there in time and arrived home at 10 p.m in some days, it was destroying her; but she as a very hard time quitting and admitting defeat, so I had to wake her up and say enough is enough.
She started a formation to become a professional hairdresser and make´up artist, my mother called her and said that it (being an hairdresser) was for people with basic education. She also called me and said that if my wife asked me to eat shit I would eat it :(
I also started doing Speed Dating events on Saturdays, it´s going very well if I may say so. When my mother discovered she told me it was a business for simple minded people that go to Tv Shows like Big Brother. My father is always asking me how many people went to the event and if I get less than in the last event he says things like "looks like it´s not going so well". I know they are secretly rooting for it to fail.
​
So in summary after 3 decades of abuse it finally clicked. My parents are PIEC*S of SH*T (sorry for the language I have so much rage inside me).
​
NOTE: I´m sorry for the long post and if I´m using broken English. I know the paragraphs about my parents are messy. They did so many more nasty things to me and my wife that I can´t even structure a decent story.

Hi fellow actors,
So, I've done some acting through most my adult life. I was in plays in high school, and took acting/improv classes throughout college as well. I've been told by many, many people now that I have a "look," and that I have a talent for acting. Many who know me (and many who don't) have told me I should give movie-acting a shot, because they think I could make it happen.
I've always loved the idea of movie acting. I'm obsessed with watching good actors convey emotions with subtle facial expressions and mannerisms. I absolutely love the idea of getting deep into a character and letting it come to life within me, and learning to portray that in front of a camera.
However, there's two things that are making me really hesitant about this. One is, I'm 30 years old, and I'm very worried about pursuing something that could leave me in a financial hole in 5+ years, with nothing to show for it. And two, obviously everyone and their cousin wants to become a film actor. No matter how many countless people have told me I'm talented or have a "look," there's going to be hundreds of others as well who are giving it a go.
Also, I have absolutely no experience actually acting in front of a camera, and I feel like the learning curve is steep.
However, the thought of giving it a shot has been haunting me for almost a decade now. My question is, is it worth giving this a shot? Would it be naive of me to give movie-acting a shot and seeing if I can make something of it? And not, what's the best way to go about it?
Thank you all

Okay everyone knows that the vanaras were not monkeys. But how else will you represent the vanaras the only viable compromise on a settlement is the vanaras being apes. The tv shows got off with costumes but thats not something which will look good in a big budget movie however what we have isn't something to be proud of thoughts??

Howdy there!

Overall I'm just a occasionally shy & quiet nerd. I like hanging out, playing games, and watching movies/ TV shows. I've never been much of a guy for goin' out on the town, very much prefer being a home body. That being said, I do love driving, and love taking roundtrips (when work allows). Lately I've been binging the walking dead, and beating up demons in diablo 4 which has been a super fun vibe.
Hobby-wise, I really enjoy art. I cant draw, unfortunately a stick figure is out of my ability even, but I can 3D model!

hi everyone! I’ve just come out of a major brain surgery and have been having a hard time understanding some social topics and want to be correct in the way I approach things in conversations and places I don’t think ( I don’t know ) I should attend or am not allowed to be a part of. I know being a cis white female I have a lot of privilege, I believe I’m am ally or hope I am one to lgbtq2+, poc, First Nations etc. I think I try hard to read and understand my place as an ally, support business run by any of these groups etc. I don’t have a lot of friends from several of these groups (I don’t know if that’s even the proper way to say that) which is unfortunate because I’d like someone close to me to be able to fact check after I’ve searched it out and have formed some knowledge on it by researching as I know it’s not anyones job to teach me. When I used to go clubbing I went to popular gay bars because the guys aren’t all over you and the music and dancing is always top notch and I can admit I was probably at one point of one the dumb drunk girls who tried hitting on or touching a man because he was gay and I at the time thought that was okay… which I believe I thought was okay because you’d always used to see it on tv as being okay just like the stereotype that gay men want to touch straight girls boobs which I now know isn’t the case. I would never even consider doing that now and would probably give someone shit if I was a witness to it now.
Excuse the rant I’m trying to preface how ignorant I am to most aspects of this subject. Am I allowed to attend queer events? Not like a parade or drag show but for example an arts and crafts night I am dying to attend that is specifically listed as a queer event. Is this something I should be attending as a guest of someone queer or should I pass. I don’t want to be that asshole who infiltrates an event that in no way is meant for me. I also don’t want to offend anyone who feels like this is their safe space to separate themselves from straight people.
It’s so hard to know when you get mixed reviews from articles online so I thought I would ask some real people.
Any sort of feedback or response would be helpful and I’m not offended if you tell me just to fuxk off! Thank you in advance for your response! 😊🤍

I'm looking for a YA suspense book, that has thriller elements, but are also in touch with reality. The closest I can think of is Sadie by Courtney Summers. (or similar vibes to the TV shows "the end of the fxxing world" or "wayne") Although all those examples are run away stories, that's not a necessity. I think my main point is to stray away from thrillers that are about corrupted rich teenagers doing bad stuff and blackmailing each other because of drama/greed/popularity (pll, elite etc).

AITA for wanting a room switch
So I'm a college student and because it's the summer I live in a dorm. The school had originally told us we'd be in apartments for the summer which I was excited for. But come the day I'm supposed to move in, I've gotten no information about where I'm staying so I call up the housing office just to find out on the move in day that we're going to be in dorms, not apartments. So much for having a kitchen and my own space. I moved in and met my roommate and everything was going fine for a while. From the first day we moved in, I didn't have my own toilet paper and garbage bags and I let her know that I can't buy them until I get paid within the next week so they say it's fine. We talked and went to the gym together and we had a nice thing going, until I made one mistake. One day I needed to use the bathroom, we shared it with the 2 girls next door, but when I went in there was no toilet paper. I really had to go and I couldn't find my wipes so I quickly grabbed one of my roommates rolls (which was out in the open and she had been sharing with me and the other 2 girls) and ran in. I had planned to ask her if I could use the roll afterwards but because I was in a rush to get off campus and because I have ADHD and am extremely forgetful especially when I'm stressed, I forgot to text her and ask. About an hour or so later, I got a text from her asking me if I had put one of her rolls in the bathroom. I apologized and let her know that I really had to use the bathroom and there was none in here and that I had planned to ask her but I had completely forgotten. I told her that I would be getting toilet paper within the next two days since I had just got paid and I would give her back the rule to make up for it. The reason I left campus was because I needed to run some errands quickly before the school took us to see the new Spider-Man later that day. I finished my errands return to school and she was not there so I prepared to go to the movies and then went and then when I came back and tried speaking to her and she ignored me completely. This went on for the next few days. Not only was she not conversing with me like the way we had been originally, but she was now just ignoring anything I had to say, even when it pertained to something about our room. A few days later, just like I said I would, I bought my own toilet paper and gave them a roll to make up for the one I put in the bathroom. I even put extra rolls in the bathroom because I felt bad that I had been using everyone else's when I didn't have any of my own before. They did not take the roll and claimed they were over it when their actions clearly said something else. Not only that but they constantly get things that got on my nerves like they love making phone calls in the middle of the night which is really annoying. Because they're always doing this I usually turn on my TV and watch an event to try to drown it out but they're also extremely loud and I have hearing issues. They also keep our window open when I do not like it open because I sleep with my head right next to it and I heard gunshots a few days ago and was not able to sleep because of it. I tried apologizing multiple times and I tried to mend the situation I gave the back of the world like I said and they were like I don't want it on over it when clearly they weren't since they were still acting Petty. I did not feel comfortable and I did not believe that her treatment was fair over me making a mistake that I tried to fix multiple times. If they didn't want us to talk the way we used to I suppose I can understand that but to just straight up ignore somebody that you're sharing a room with because you want to remain petty over a situation that you claim you're over, that's just wrong. A few days ago I spoke to my older sister about the situation and told her how uncomfortable it was making me and that I did not want to change the situation and after I hung up with her I asked an RA about switching rooms. Told me I would have to call back in the morning and that same night my roommate complained that apparently our room was filthy because of me. That I have too much stuff and that my hair was everywhere and it made her uncomfortable. I found it hilarious that she was perfectly willing to talk when it came to what she wanted or wasn't ok with but whenever I tried to voice my concerns I was ignored. But with the things they complained about, when I first moved in I brought more stuff than I had planned on. Me and my father had gotten up to the school later than we planned and we had to go to my storage facility which was 20 minutes away to get stuff for me to bring onto campus. I wanted to look through my stuff to see what I actually needed to bring into my dorm but because it had been so late, my dad was in a hurry and basically just told me to grab everything. I had recognized about a week or so ago that I had too much stuff in here but because I don't drive, I take the bus, I didn't really have a way of transporting the extra stuff back to my storage unit so my space wouldn't be as crowded. Also the hair thing, I am a black woman and I am currently wearing my hair out. I usually have braids in but the braids I had before I took out because they started to look bad. I had my hair out to let it rest for a few weeks before I got it done again. Whenever I do my hair it sheds and before we were having issues I would use their broom to sweep it up. But after the whole toilet paper situation I figured that they didn't want me using their stuff so I stopped sweeping up my hair. I would try to pick it up but wasn't always able to do so. I was just like I guess it'll just have to wait until I can buy a broom which isn't gonna happen for another week or so. I didn't even bother telling them these things because I wanted the room change as well. Plus the thing that they said that really pissed me off was that apparently every time I use the sink to do my hair, I leave the sink wet…IT'S A SINK. I had been the one to ask someone about it long before they did anyway. I understand that I made a mistake, I constantly make mistakes literally on a daily basis. The other day when the school took us to the movies, I lost my wallet. I constantly lose my wallet, I constantly make mistakes all the time and forget things all the time. I'm not saying that I personally should be given a patch but because we're only human and everyone makes mistakes, we should be willing to forgive each other. Especially when they try multiple times to show remorse and try to amend the situation. And before anyone asks how I would have felt if the situation had been reversed, I wouldn't have been mad because I knew they were going to buy some of their own within the next few days and we were all sharing it anyway. So AITA?

Have you ever had a sudden realization that changed your perspective on life?

For context - I've been daily driving some version of Ubuntu on at least one machine for 10+ years, with brief forays into MEPIS, various specialized Puppy remasters, etc. I can make may way through things requiring the terminal but it's not my strong suit.
I have two machines (HP Prodesk 400 G1 w/ a third gen i5 and a Satellite with an Intel 2020M, both w 4GB ram) that are ready for new distros - both were running an Ubuntu variant based on 20.04 (Lubuntu on the Satellite, MATE on the desktop). The Prodesk is going into the bar I'm building in my basement for media purposes (music/movies on a connected TV), RetroArch, running Jackbox games, etc.. The Satellite is my kids' computer - primarily used for RetroArch, as a DVD player when traveling, browser based games (lightweight - think ABCYA), and things like MakeCode Arcade.
I like the LTS model, do not care about fancy UI, etc., but I want to get these machines off Ubuntu (I'm open to Ubuntu-based, though).
I was thinking OpenSUSE (leap - not tumbleweed, unsure of DE/WM) for the desktop, and Mint (MATE), but am curious if there are any other lightweight distros that are still very beginner friendly other than Puppy worth spinning up? WMs/DEs I should consider other than MATE/Xfce/LXDE? twm's are absolutely out considering the audience for these machines). I remember having issues getting wifi configured on the Satellite, and the Prodesk uses an external wifi dongle that I had to find drivers for - I am totally comfortable knowing I will need to do this for any new install, but would prefer something stable enough where I can assume these won't break on updates.
RAM upgrades are a possibility for both as well, but with the Satellite I doubt it will do much as the CPU is just so meh unless I am going to specifically go the Puppy route.

In TV and movies, there are always characters who are super kind and just, and who are monarchs and royalty. Could this really have been so common? And could it stay that way after the monarchy is inherited?

I'm trying to remember a movie I watched in the 80s or 90s. Might have been made-for-tv.
It was about a famous male teenage singer, and a "normal" teenage kid who looks similar enough to the singer that they could trade places. The normal kid thinks his life is boring. He's unpopular and longs to be like his idol, the singer. The singer, who is famous, longs for anonymity, and the two somehow meet and conspire to trade places. The movie ends with both of them attending a concert, and the singer sings the line "All of those nights. All of the prices paid, we're on our way"

Just watched the movie last night. I liked how there were lots of different visual aesthetics and art styles applied into the movie. It helped a lot with not only boosting the already insane levels of creativity to the worldbuilding, but to make it even more distinct from ITSV. However, I think one minor gripe I have that makes me puzzled is the inclusion of live-action clips and the live-action Prowler from the MCU.
How does it make sense to keep the live-action and animated art styles distinctly separate from each other while they exist in literally the same shots if it is naturally assumed from the audience's POV that the characters in the story see their reality as "live-action" and we see their reality as simply a cartoon? Are (or could) the characters in MCU and TSV films aware of this strange phenomenon? Do MCU characters see TSV characters as exactly as how they're depicted in our universe?
If the distinctive art styles are indeed exactly representative of that character's reality, how does it work when Miles drew Gwen in the sketchbook, or when he did the graffiti art that showed all of his friends and family members? Did he depicted them hyper-realistically if Mile's sees his reality as "live-action", or did he depict them in that exact art style?
In the grand scheme of things, this is just a minor nitpick, but I feel like the creators should've pointed this out with like a side-comment or a joke if they're already so self-aware and passionate when making these films.

As many others, I started learning German mainly because of Rammstein. Being able to increasingly understand their lyrics is one of my motivations for keeping up in learning the language. I have also consumed other German media, such as TV shows, besides Rammstein, but in music Rammstein has been my main driving force.
However, in light of some ugly recent news, I am taking a break from Rammstein while the whole thing is sorted out. I don't intend to discuss those news here or make this post about that, since there's plenty of that in Rammstein already.
What I need is good recommendations for music in German that I can listen to to keep me motivated in learning the language. It can but does not need to be in the same vein of heavy/industrial metal. I can accept any genre that has decent instrumentation and interesting lyrics. What I don't like is extremely simplistic stuff that is just the same three-or-four-note melody repeated over and over while some singer says some trite or corny lines that have already been said in thousands of songs.

What is the storage used for.
I’ll be using it on Wi-Fi only. But $20 for double the storage sounds good.
If I download a movie or show on the Apple TV can I watch it offline?
Just thinking on downloading show for my son if internet goes down.

So, as I posted here over a month ago, after at first resisting in accepting the new canon created for Star Wars, I started warming up to it after they canonized Thrawn for Star Wars Rebels, but I still limited the canon continuity to Episodes I through VI in my headcanon because of my love both for The Old Republic and Legacy.
That meant that I at first disconsidered the 2020 Darth Vader comics due to some things tying into the New Trilogy (especifically Ochi of Bestoon, the Sith Pathfinder and Exegol), of which I wanted nothing to do with. This also meant no Mandalorian and no Book of Boba Fett either.
Thing is, some time ago I realized that, by doing this, I was missing some good stuff, especially the Dark Heart of the Sith arc where Vader investigates Padmé's death while revisiting his past as Anakin Skywalker (also, this cover), and both the War of the Bounty Hunters and the Crimson Reign crossovers (Star Wars/Bounty Hunters/Darth VadeDoctor Aphra) that explain why it took ONE YEAR for Luke, Leia, Chewbacca and Lando to rescue Han even though Boba was taking him to Jabba.
But what really convinced me to give the post-RotJ canon a chance was the news that LucasFilms is planning a "New Jedi Order" series of films that shows Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order, and there is a chance that she will do it like Luke did it in Legends instead of repeating the same mistakes of the OG Order. If this really happens, it means that going through that mess of a trilogy is worth the headache.
So, in order to fully prepare for accepting the RotJ canon, while August doesn't come I'm watching all the movies in chronological order, and after watching Episode VI this Saturday, I'll watch the New Trilogy, and if I can accept Episode VIII even with all the derailing Rian Johnson did, I'll officially accept it as part of my headcanon.
Why "if I accept Episode VIII"? It won't be the first time I'll deem a movie worth to watch after hearing it time and time again it was worthless. I still remember I always heard Friday the 13th Part V: The New Beginning was such a disaster that they brought Jason Voorhees back in the next movie, but when I finally watched it myself, I deemed it a good movie (for Friday the 13th standards), so maybe the same thing happens when I finally watch The Last Jedi.
The only downside is that accepting the the canon part of post-RotJ events means saying goodbye to one-fourth (maybe three-fourths) of the Star Wars: Vector crossover. I can always make my headcanon that the Muur Talisman perished alongside Celeste Morne inside Dreypa's Obliette during Cassus Fett's nuclear bombardment of Jebble, which, for all intents and purposes was the general belief at the time of the Inter-Wars era, as pointed by my character, Hendrik Keto, while discussing the Three Great Amulets in my Star Wars: The Old Republic fanfiction, Shadow of the Jedi. So, what do you think?
