Movies@lemmy.world•Why is Conan O'Brien such a shitty therapist?English
2·3 days agoAnother thing to consider is that we’re seeing the film through the eyes of Rose Byrne’s character. Major events of the film definitely happened, and characters acted generally the way they did, but she’s not necessarily seeing the events as they actually are happening.
Conan’s character is absolutely ignoring her in a moment of need, but her own anxiety may be making it appear worse than it actually was. That doesn’t make it right, just a reminder of how we’re viewing the events of the film.
Take for example the role of the husband. Throughout the film we view him as a jerk who is clearly not supporting the main character. He’s always dismissive and unhelpful. Then late in the film we learn he is in the Navy and off on a ship. His actions of not being there for Rose Byrne are suddenly much more understandable. Should he have left his wife alone? Probably not. Was he likely doing it for the family and daughter specifically, probably yes. Once he arrived home he immediately got to solving the issue with the hole. He genuinely seemed like a nice guy. But importantly, this story isn’t about the husband, it’s about Rose Byrne’s character. Her anxieties are real to her and valid, however they do consume her, which is where the problem comes from.

The Simpsons@lemmy.world•Actually, there are four points [Hard]English
3·3 days agoAs a kid I assumed Drambuie was some weird adult food that contained a red paste, like frosting. Grading papers while eating lunch made sense to me.
When I learned what Drambuie was I was immediately taken back to this episode and got a chuckle for a whole new reason.
Correct!

23·3 days agoMany years ago I heard a comedian tell a joke, “I come from a long line of people who had kids.”
He was a funny guy, with a funny set, but that line always stuck with me.

The Simpsons@lemmy.world•Today's point's going to be the funniest, side-splittingest cavalcade of... [Hard]English

But he looks so happy!
Yeah, I mentioned fish, or zsh, only because day to day shell and scripting shell can be different.
If you want to script, bash is the way to go. For day to day, any personal preference is fine.
As you’ve mentioned in other threads, bash is a hard requirement for the OS, so if it’s already installed, and the default on most Linux distros, bash is probably the best option.
The dash shell isn’t designed to be user interactive. It’s a lightweight scripting shell/language.
The ksh shell is an older standard shell. Years ago I worked for a company that ran corporate Unix systems and on those systems only ksh and tcsh were available. Ksh was the default, and as someone only familiar with bash it was a bit different but mostly the same. So there is at least one point for maybe choosing ksh.
However my personal shell preference is zsh. When I write scripts I do so using bash. The two shells are 99% similar on a day to day basis, but I prefer zsh for a user interface. So I use one for day to day and the other for scripting.
Other threads have also mentioned fish, which is also a great choice if you don’t know where to start.
Are zsh or fish “heavier” or “bloated”, maybe. But remember to consider your attack surface. If your house is on fire it doesn’t matter of you fix the leaky faucet in bathroom or the kitchen.
