Anyone else notice an increase of travelers asking how “not to be a tourist” on social media? I have never understood this fear of being seen as what you are (we’re all tourists when we’re traveling and cannot, by definition, be a local in a new place.) This whole “I am so much more sophisticated than those OTHER annoying tourists” attitude reeks of snobbism. EDIT to add that I do understand that many do not want to be seen as the stereo…

What’s real and what’s… something else, in space-faring (and trippy) Lifeless Moon, out now There is no life in the void, but something weird is definitely happening in 3D platformer Lifeless Moon. It’s out now for the PC. Life finds a way Lifeless Moon is definitely not what its name implies. At least, we don’t think it is. Then again, we’re not really sure what the heck is happening … The post What’s real and what’s… something else, …

Compensation for offering my seat: what else can I get away with? An occurrence I believed to be limited to movies actually happened: the flight was fully booked, and they were providing cash incentives to passengers who were willing to take a later flight. Since my partner is on that later flight (we made separate bookings), this option works perfectly to ensure we travel together. Now, I’m wondering if there…

It’s Tesla versus everyone else in the race for EV dominance Photo by INA FASSBENDER / AFP via Getty ImagesFor years, Tesla was synonymous with everything cool, high tech, and futuristic. But is it still today? “Teslas used to look cool and now they don’t,” said Jessica Resler, a Brooklyn resident recently shopping for an EV who eventually settled on a BMW i4. “And they’ve become the Uber car of the city….

New Jersey Drivers Still Happy For Someone Else To Pump Gas: Report Oregon was one of the last states in the U.S. that allowed drivers to pump their own gas. But after the recent passage of a bill by Oregon state lawmakers, that changed, and Oregonians can finally pump their own gas.

401K and Roth IRA maxed out, what else can i invest in that maintains some liquidity? Where are people parking their money once 401K and Roth IRA are maxed out? All my additional money is safely in a High yield at 5.15%, but curious if anyone has some moderately safe investments that might earn more. I do have $10,000 parked in I bonds that will most likely be converted to T Bills depending on rates at years end. ​ submitted …

Anyone else a fan of Love, death and robots? For all the throwaway shows Netflix has, LDR is actually really good, fun short form stories with some really cool premises and it’s kept going strong each season. Really liked Bad travelling, Swarm and Jibaro from season 3. The only ‘criticism’ I have is that some of the ideas are so good they should be their own series! submitted by /u/…

Anyone else notice their Twitter impressions cratering since yesterday? Just wondering if it’s just me, or maybe a broader change affecting others too. I’ve had six posts between today and yesterday, and my impressions on each are about half the average. Anyone else? submitted by /u/MsManifesto

Where to go from Stockholm? Gotland, somewhere else? Hi, very general question here. I am working in Stockholm right now, and before leaving I will have 5 free days mid-august. I’m thinking about traveling. I went to Åland already, it was great (go there if you have the chance, it really is super nice to visit!). I thought about Estonia, but it is a bit far and expensive. There is also Gotland, so…

What is a role that is very well cast, but you can see someone else playing that character? I recently saw some of The Office audition tapes and while I can’t see anyone replacing Rainn Wilson as Dwight, I think Bob Odenkirk would have a done a good job as Michael Scott even though Steve Carell was amazing in that role. What are some examples in your opinion? submitted by /u/ilikepickuptrucks

R7 vs R8 vs Something Else Hey everyone, I’m looking for a new camera and have been looking between the Canon R7 and R8. While I am used to Canon, I’m not against looking elsewhere if you think it’s worth it. I need it mainly for my college capstone project where I’ll be shooting lots of interviews with basketball players from a local league work. I’m also gonna snap some…

Dealing with trolls (can’t think of what else to call them) So, my photography side business has been going nowhere. It’s been over a year since I have sold a print. My website seems to get decent and consistent traffic, but no sales. My social media presence is very little. Instagram being the only one that has a decent number of followers, though I am convince its mostly bots or people wanting me to ch…

Anyone else having a bad feeling regarding Threads and Meta monopoly? I mean I really don’t like it that they try to build a social media monopoly. If they will be successful and replace Twitter with Threads the only big fish left would be TikTok and maybe Pinterest and Tumblr, but idk if this is on the same level submitted by /u/Seraphina_Renaldi
