No Stupid Questions

I bought one a few years ago because game pass looked like a good deal and I wanted a media player that could play BluRays. Now game pass isn't such a great deal anymore, I cancelled it about a year ago, and there doesn't seem to be anything drawing me to the system anymore.

So the console sits unused in my closet. But I'd hate all that compute power to go to waste. Is there anything I can do with it?

Niche media like Slay the Princess, Talentless Nana, Divine Gate, etc.

"Second screen" is when you're watching something, but you're also on your phone which means that the show or film you're watching had to explain what's going on (so you don't have to explain the plot or even much of it) - the kind of stuff that Netflix have been putting out lately. I wanna hear your thoughts on that.

Job title: easy, you can use your prev job or whatever your expertise is

Company: this one is tricky imo. I saw "Visitor" , "Personal Contractor", "Freelance", "Independent contractor", and also made up name (Bob Inc)...etc.

Usually those places just want you to fill out the info online, then at the event, you scan a QR to get your badge. But in some rare case, they need to call out "Your name + Your company" to get the badges. What do you do? I had to use my prev company title and name.

Seriously, I have not been this tilted since the last time I played Brawlhalla and League of Legends.

I see a lot of AI slop music on YouTube, and I think it’s gross. AI is genuinely for people with no talent and who are lazy, but what really pissed me off was seeing a Michael Jackson AI song. Fuck the person who did that. How are you going to disrespect the GOAT like that? Do you think we should report these videos?

During court, when something happens and the judge tells the jury to ‘forget that’ or ‘not include that,’ if the jury heard it, how could I, as someone on the jury, possibly just ignore what I heard? Whether the evidence is admissible or not.

Growing up everyone around me treated me like a weird freak for staring off at like a wall or out the window or something else when I was lost in thought or bored, so what are we supposed to do when we're not actively look at something?

Title pretty much sums it up. Watched a video recently where someone was asked to name a black superhero that didn't have lightning based powers and while I could name a few it made me realize just how prevalent the trope is.

But why?

Edit: Y'all I'm not asking for examples of black heroes that don't have lightning powers. I'm asking why it's a trope to begin with 😮‍💨

I’m not looking to homeschool my kids, but I do I want to create some effective age (8 -11 year olds) appropriate lessons and teaching materials for some summer learning.

Is there a community that sort of does that?

A separate and related question How can I do home tutoring for subjects they are weak in?

Donald Trump has been posting images again.

One of them shows him attacking the Earth from space with lasers. Two places are being blown up, the clearest of which is Ireland (the second might be Bulgaria).

I'm British, so not totally up on US politics, but it surprised me that he was attacking Ireland.

I appreciate that he sometimes posts weird stuff, but it usually seems to be related to something. Attacking Ireland from space for no reason seems random even for him, so I'm guessing it's related to something.

So, please can someone with more insight explain why he'd blow up Ireland?

Every short video has captions on them suddenly and many times they don't seem related to the video and just block what I'm trying to see.

"The 9[am] to 5[pm]" is a common term for one's regular job, on the basis that normal people start work at 09:00 and finish at 17:00. I've worked a few jobs and closest I've ever gotten to this is 08:00 to 17:00, which I gather is standard.

Are there real jobs where people actually start at 9 and finish at 5?

In some cosmetic surgeries, ~~plastics like silicone~~ are added to make the face or other parts of the body appear larger. But where does the plastic go? Does it go under the skin layers, between skin layers, or above them? Do they cover nerve endings (i.e. is there a sense of touch), do they restrict things like blood vessels? If somebody with an implant were to get injured near the area they had stuff injected in, would the plastic show up, or pour out, and would this injury heal itself? Is the consistency of it more liquid, solid, or kind of jello-like?

For the record, I am not interested in these cosmetic surgeries. I've always found surgeries that have no medical benefit to be very silly, as it's an additional risk for no real benefit.

edit: I have been informed that plastic surgery does not necessarily mean actual plastics, and the term has existed before the material was a thing! And apparently, silicone is less common since it is difficult to clean up when it leaks, and saline (mildly salty water, similar in concentration to salt in the blood) is now used instead since it is easily absorbed into the body

Do you think defense attorneys who defend cops who unjustly killed Black people—or people in general—are ‘bad people’? Like the lawyer who defended the cop that killed Sonya Massey—were they ‘bad people’?

So if I put on a nazi blog that said something akin to um I'm going to kill all of you.. Given I don't know who they are beside username and where they are at would I be arrested? How is that different from what the 20 year old did? He was just more specific as far as I can tell.

Yes I know the cliche saying of “every president is war criminal” blah blah blah. But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat. Trump has -

• Tried to coup the US government over election results
• Sent ICE agents into cities to harass the public
• Defended ICE killing civilians by labeling victims as “domestic terrorist”
• Bombed Nigeria on Christmas 2025 (it’s unknown the casualty count), Nigeria did not attack us
• Illegally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader and his wife, Venezuela did not attack us
• Is currently starving the country of Cuba with no food, electricity or aid, Cuba did not attack us
• Is spreading false information about White Genocide in South Africa
• Killed Iranian Generals in his first term after tearing up Obama’s Iran Peace Deal
• Bombed a school of little girls in Iran
• Started a war with Iran, killing their leader, Iran did not attack us
• Wants to occupy and takeover Greenland, Greenland did not attack us or ask for this
• Inplements unprofessional and nonsensical tariffs on the Global economy

And so much more. Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist. No other president has caused this much global terror in the modern era.
