Nope, too many side effects.

All the people I knew who took the thing ended up with regular covid symptoms for at least a week if not more. I think I'll pass for now.

I like the horror story ones: Darkness Prevails, Horrorbabble, Manfred Arcane and Lighthouse Horror. Pretty much any cat-focused channel is worthwhile. Recently discovered jumping spider vids.

When posting a reply to a topic, it shouldn't get marked as having one new reply, which came from yourself.

I'd like for notifications to get marked as read when either clicking on context or answering directly.

Well, all of those features would be a good thing to have, but especially rewriting submission URLs to Ramble-specific frontends for that service. By the way, the Instagram frontend is called Bibliogram. You can also add teddit (clear net only) as a Reddit frontend.

How far down can you go the list? It's supposed to got all the way down to the 1920s, but most people will run out of movies they know earlier.

Hm... maybe it helps to know that the list only goes down to the 1920s, so you already got half the set. Also, I'm interested in how people would answer this with incomplete information, so not having enough data points is so that everyone's answers can be different. Just go with the first thing that comes to mind.

You said:
(It has nothing to do with Science Fiction.)
I ignored that and went with SciFi, haha.

Not enough data points.
And I am a person who subscribed to five different filmmaking,cinematographer,producer,SFX magazines and a few exotic underground film quarterlies for 25 years.
I looked for letters , vowel patterns, us soil release date months, box office takes, runtimes, amount of CGI, etc.
Not enough datapoints for me. And as a logician, i disregard 1960s and 1960s as possible empty sets in the above puzzle, and possible red herrings, though in most IQ oriented test corpus questions, the blanks are meant to not be null sets (WISC-R Full Scale, WISC-IV extended, Stanford-Binet, WPPSI-III, etc). Null sets as part of a puzzle are not considered valid in a open ended answer, and only used in multiple choice answers.

Interesting choices. Which was the common thread you saw that led you to them?

I don't know how I would complete this, but let's see how GPT-2 would:
1970s — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
...not what I expected, really. Maybe GPT-3 would do better, but come on, I don't want to join the private beta just for this.

Reply to comment by Wahaha in Why cookies don't get deleted from the browser unless whitelisted? by Wahaha
Everything is pretty much a cost-benefit ratio....in this case, convenience vs inconvenience. I have no problem logging into sites in order to maintain a cookie-free PC. Well, so far as I can make it cookie-free. There is only so much Self-Destructing Cookies, BleachBit, and CCleaner will do.

As said, I've been using XP Pro for three years now, and hence relegated to using Mypal, Centaury and Firefox 52.9.0 browsers. As both the OS is long ago EOL/EOS, and the browsers are equally outdated, I'm not impressed with that malarkey.

Reply to comment by Wahaha in Have you gotten your COVID vaccination? Do you plan to? Why or why not? by Rambler
Same here. It's not that I'm anti-vax, it's just that I have no reason to get the vaccine since it:
I may get it in a few years if it's still a thing and people aren't giving birth to three arm babies and stuff. If my life becomes inconvenienced by not having it, I'll work around it as best I can.
