lol right, I totally forgot to explain that barbers often did surgery and dentistry.

That's also where the concept of a "barbershop quartet" came from. Dentists would have the aforementioned quartet singing loudly outside of their shop to drown out the screaming of patients inside.

Sure, it's totally fine to not like them. My point wasn't whether jump scares are good or bad, but just to explain why they're used in basically every horror movie ever. They're a good tool to help ease less experienced horror fans into the movie who would otherwise walk out or turn it off once the tension got to be too much for them.

Jump scares aren't really meant to scare you, they're there to relieve tension. If a jump scare feels forced to you, then you weren't very engrossed in the movie, or it was put in a bad spot -- but if you're really on the edge of your seat and then a jump scare gets you, you'll relax afterward so the tension can start to mount all over again without feeling too oppressive.

If jump scares aren't doing that for you, then you've probably watched enough horror movies that you're slightly desensitized to it, but the director has to think of every movie goer when making a movie, and bringing new viewers keep the genre alive.

To use the comedy analogy from OP, it's more like a long winded joke that keeps going and going and building and building, and then suddenly PUNCH LINE! and you're laughing. Except the long winded joke is the tension building, and the jump scare is the punch line.

Let's see if I can guess everyone here, from left to right, top to bottom:

  1. the guy from the TV show The Bear
  2. Eddie from Stranger Things season 4
  3. Legolas from I'm gonna guess that still is from Return of the King
  4. Jack Black from School of Rock
  5. Markiplier?
  6. Geralt from The Witcher TV Show
  7. Pedro Pascal's character from The Last of Us, I think his name was Joel?

I was just talking about this recently. There are of course some women who like muscle men or assholes, but most women are attracted to men who make them feel safe and/or make them laugh. If it is about looks, they're probably just looking for a slender/chubby guy who has a caring/funny/brooding kind of look about them.

Also! Looks can change as you get to know someone. A person who was initially hot as hell can become revolting if their personality sucks, and vice versa, someone that didn't really stand out to you could become literally the hottest person in the universe if their personality rocks!

You can download specific DLCs but I'm not entirely sure they'll be useable. It's worth a try. Here's how you do it:

Open a web browser and type in steam://open/console and it should open the Steam console inside of Steam itself. Type download_depot <game_id> <depot number> for Rocksmith the game id is 205190 and you can look up the specific DLC you want on steamdb

So for example, the Pearl Jam Song Pack could be downloaded using download_depot 205190 222139

Rocksmith's DLC SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/205190/dlc/

If this DLC has been disabled as you said, this might not work, or you might need to make sure that Steam doesn't try to update the game (which would disable the DLC again). You can do that by browsing to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ (assuming you're on Linux, or just wherever your "steamapps" folder is on your PC) and find the file called appmanifest_205190.acf and set it to read only. That should prevent Steam from modifying any changes you've made to the game. Just remember to set it back to writable if you want to update the game again.

The game might not recognize the DLC as I said, but you should be able to access the files anyway if that's all you wanted. They'll be in ../steamapps/downloading at least until the download is complete, then it should try to apply the DLC to the game, which might cause the files to get deleted. I'm not entirely sure about that.

East is sunrise. West is sunset. The sun will also always be slightly south and even more so in the winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere then it's slightly north).

If your local area has some kind of landmark like a big tower, or a big lake, learn where that is relative to you and use it as a reference point. For me, I live near a big lake and it's always south of me. It might be easier for you to ask yourself "which way is the lake?" instead of "which way is south?" or whatever your landmark and direction happen to be.

It's not exactly "unrecognized" because it's fairly popular, but From -- yes, that's the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.

It's pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It's a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.

The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight "The Entity" and "The Entity's Realm" vibe if you're familiar with the game.

It matches for non-primes and doesn't match for primes.
