Intros you never skip?

Started up season 2 of Avatar The Last Airbender and it occurred to me that I never skip the intro sequences for any episode of this show. It’s just so good.

What other show intros can you not skip?

1 year of Unemployment... I just wanna disappear
  • This is the advice you need OP. It’s going to feel like shit to take rejection after rejection. But the reality is that success is the 2000th attempt after 1999 rejections, but only if you’re actively trying something new each time. You can do it.

  • How do I get my clothes to smell like I just bought them at the store?

    I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.

    How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??

    'We'll come for you next': Israel threatened to kill teen journalist in Gaza — then did
  • 🤷 I wouldn’t fret the downvotes too much. Unlike Reddit it means practically nothing here. It bothers you a whole lot more than it bothers me.

    IMO, the least interesting conversations are ones where everyone agrees. When opinions differ, the real tragedy is when we stop listening to the other side.

    For what it’s worth, I’m more than happy to keep listening.

  • 'We'll come for you next': Israel threatened to kill teen journalist in Gaza — then did
  • You’re thinking too rationally. It is nigh impossible to be rational in a situation where you are hungry, tired, and could die at any moment from a drone strike.

    What does “be smarter” even mean? Move out of Gaza?

  • 'We'll come for you next': Israel threatened to kill teen journalist in Gaza — then did
  • Nobody wants to die. It takes a lot for someone to risk death to make a statement. It’s a feeling I will never be able to fully understand because I’m not there living this reality with him.

    Another way of putting it — saying “be smarter” is like telling a minimum wage worker to stop spending money on lattes and they’ll become rich.

  • Day 83 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I love these slice of life type games that offer a variety of quests, trades, and places to explore. I know there are plenty of those as single player games but they’re infinitely more fun as MMOs where friends can hop in and join you.

  • Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead?
  • Minimal. There’s a unique captcha system in harvesting that makes it difficult to bot. The closest thing to bad bots are people running multiple accounts on single account servers to run dungeons. It’s a bannable offense and people do get banned for doing it.

  • Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead?
  • Try Wakfu. There are a lot of chill trades to grind casually and the economy is completely player driven. There are no NPCs to buy or sell your loot to.

    The PvE gameplay loop is really fun. The game has an adjustable level system that encourages players to replay lower level dungeons. Battles are turn based and have a surprising amount of strategy.

    The only real problem with the game is that the devs seem to not care about player growth at all. They do zero marketing and sometimes the registration system is broken and won’t get fixed for awhile. It’s like the opposite problem to RuneScape.

    Backfired Wishes @lemmy.zip TacoEvent @lemmy.zip

    How it works

    1. Post a wish, like for a genie (e.g. "I wish for a million dollars")
    2. People comment with ways it can backfire. (e.g. "Great! Here's 2700 Zimbabwean dollars.")
    3. Profit!

    Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

    I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

    It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

    The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

    Any recommendations for iPhone screen protectors that do not take away from the display?

    I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

    Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

    Do you tip for takeout? (How much?)

    Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

    US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    Charger: Weapon Attack…

    … is an extremely lackluster feat. I had originally read the skill description as being a main OR bonus attack and that felt really strong. After getting the feat I am now stuck with a meaningless skill that takes both actions for what is essentially just a walk + hit.

    Am I missing something with this feat?

    lemmy.zip New custom theme for Lemmy.zip - Lemmy.zip

    Hey everyone, we’ve made a new theme for our instance. It’s set as the default instance theme at the moment so if the theme setting in your profile is set to ‘Browser Default’ then you should already be seeing it. Folded is a theme based on another custom theme, Lemonberry [https://github.com/thayer...

    No way to reset or go back other than by resetting the app. Screen is completely blank and white. Only the system menu bar on the very top is visible (clock, cell signal, wifi signal, and battery).

    “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements

    www.texastribune.org “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements

    The protesters called House Bill 2127 the “law that kills” and said it will leave those who labor outdoors at the mercy of their employers.

    “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1628233

    > https://archive.is/2CsfM > > House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance. > > “We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

    How do I see posts I've made on other instances?

    I had made a post on a Beehaw community. I see comments in my inbox, but when I click “Posts” in my profile nothing shows up. To be clear, the beehaw post is my only post ever on this account.
