  • How do I screenshot another persons phone?

    So I noticed while at work recently, that my supervisor took a screenshot with his phone of the screen of the scanner device I use for my job. I am not talking about how he just takes a photo with my hand holding the device and it shows the screen. No. This is like the actual screen of my device that was taken a picture of. 

    Is there an app I can go to do the same thing? I am interested in learning about it.

  • How do I set up or get donations?

    So I am wanting to do a special video series on YouTube to raise money and give to a local hospital. It will be taking place throughout an entire month once everything is ready to go. Things for now are still a work in progress for now. But to know things in advance, where would I go to set up an account for taking donations? 

    Do I need to set up a new bank account? Is there a site or mobile app I can use to get these donations?

    What additional info must I know (if anything) relating to this charitable cause? 

    Any and all advice helps! 

  • Is it safe now to order products from China?

    So I am wanting to buy this item, and it is being shipped from China. However, I am very skeptical on the whole thing with the pandemic still hurting here in the USA. Is it safe to order from China and not catch any sign of the Virus?

  • Do nice guys really finish last?

    The old expression, sometimes I believe it to be true. I am a nice guy. I try to be friendly to those I meet, and associate with regularly. But I feel lonely.... 

    One of my coworkers told me about the PoF app, similar to Tinder. I met a few women and took them on dates, but those I try and make a connection with do not seem that way towards me. 

    I am kind, respectful, very funny (always making jokes and puns), and Most Importantly, I am not out for a "booty call" on a first date. I actually want to do the more chivalrous approach. But it seems that no matter what, I fail at trying to have a relationship. Could it be the way I was brought up? Or we just dont have that much in common? Or am I just to naive to know that she is not interested? I will admit I am a bit of a geek... (is that a bad thing?) I like Marvel movies, anime, and going out to Cons whenever they are in town. 

    Before you comment "Do not worry, you will meet that special someone", how can you be so sure? I want advice on things where I can start again, and build off that.

  • What is the term for this dramatic music?

    So in certain instances there might be a great battle going on. And instead of intense hardcore music playing in the background, its more soft and elegant for dramatic effect.

    The perfect example is like in My Hero Academia, s4 ep13 (Infinite 100%). Just after the transition from Deku to Overhaul, we hear a woman singing with all action going on around the characters, underground.

    What term (if there is one) is there in this case of dramatic/suspenseful effect?

    See the YouTube search results below to see videos of said episode

  • What did you think of MHA 4x24 and 4x25? ?

    For the fans of the My Hero Academia anime, what did you think of the final 2 episodes of Season 4 "Japanese Hero Billboard Chart" and "His Start"? I personally LOVED "His Start". It really is the better of the two and makes you feel for Endeavor on wanting to start over with himself, and become a newer, better person than what he was. And that music in the final battle... so fitting! 

    From what I seen on YouTube with others reactions, they loved it as much as I did (if not more!). By the end, I seen tears in most of their eyes, applauding, cheering, and seeing Endeavor as the new #1 hero and the new Symbol. 

    Again, for those that have seen it, what did you think of the episode?

  • Why am I not successful?

    I try, and I try, and I try. Nothing gets me nowhere. It does not matter what I do. I always fall short of accomplishing (quite literally) ANYTHING. I put a lot of thought into what I want to accomplish, but I get little to absolutely nothing in return for my efforts. These are but a few things compared to others. Any advice can help. 

    When I am at work, I see others talking for a long period of time and yet still manage to make top performance. I keep to myself and focus on my job, getting it done the best way I can, and my production numbers fall beneath those other top performers mentioned before. 

    I create YouTube videos to make people react and laugh. I created pages for people to Like/Follow me in hopes of building my audience. Many hours of production and money put into the videos, only to get maybe a few views and maybe 1 subscriber every once in a while. 

    I play an online game with others, with the concept to survive in game. I am always the one taken down easily. Or in a gameplay tournament I always rank in the top 33% that fall short of advancing, instead of the top 10 to 20% of winners that do. 

    I cannot even find a relationship with someone. I introduce myself, and they just instinctively know to stay away when all I want is a friend. I cant even have a friend. Sad.

  • Am I mean for saying "No"?

    So when I was together with my "then girlfriend", one thing I can remember when we were together was she wanted to go out to eat at a local buffet. It would be expensive for me since I knew I would be the one paying for it. I was on a budget at the time, and I told her no. I did offer to go someplace else where we could still eat and be on my budget. She wanted to go to the buffet still and called me mean for not taking her to where she wanted to go. 

    I am not about to be getting the better of by a complaining, whiny little brat that she was because things were not going her way. Was I right, or no? 

    By the way, if anyone is wondering, no... that was not the reason for our breakup.

  • Batman Character Jokes. What do you have on these characters?

    So I was talking with someone I work with the other day, and I made jokes on the Batman characters. Specifically, how he seems to bully mentally ill people. When you think about it....

    Joker - Crazed Psychopath/Sociopath (Insane)

    Harley Quinn - Stockholm Syndrome

    Two Face - Bipolar

    But I cannot seem to find anything funny to mention about others like Poison Ivy, Penguin, and Mr Freeze among other characters. Plus more.

    I am asking you all to come up with lighthearted jokes about these characters I can add to this project I am working on.

  • How do I treat my bruised toenail?

    I work in a warehouse, and I was laying out pallets for items to be placed on them. I had dropped this one pallet and it came down on my right foot big toe. It did hurt but nothing broken; so no trip to the hospital. It did bruise the toenail  where blood collects under the nail making it appear purple blue or black. I have been letting it heal naturally and the area around it did heal.

    Today though, my toe is healthy and normal. But the bruise is still there. It does not hurt at all. Its just there. 

    What do I do about this? I hope I do not need to get the nail removed (I know it will grow back).

  • I need help with 'Change My Mind' meme jokes?

    So I am a Deadpool cosplayer. One of the things I do is to make people laugh hard. An idea I got is to do an impression of the Change My Mind guy. Do my own take on his meme. 

    I only have 2 jokes I could use now. But I need more to change things up during the events. I need ideas. What are yours? 

    One of them is 'Thanos is a stoner' and the other is 'The Flash has no super powers'. 

    I need more. What are your takes?

  • What are these beat circles? Are they downloadable?

    So I am looking up soundtracks from a few of my favorite places, and two in particular I found interesting. They both have a circle in the center with the beats and volume coming off said circle.

    Is this a feature I can download for myself? If so, where can I find it?

    Examples

  • Why are so many anime based around fighting and battles?

    First off, I do not consider myself a person who is obsessed with anime but does enjoy a series or season from time to time. Willing to watch certain ones that find interesting.

    From childhood, I grew up watching Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh as one of my first anime series. As I grew up, I seen that there is a lot of conflict as a primary in much anime. Monsters fighting, people fighting, and more. I know anime is not fully based on battle action (look at hentai for example, if you are age 18+) but it sure does seem like each anime is one side vs the other. It seems that a lot of series need that staple.

    I just want to know is it anime that needs to have that staple, or (with respect) is Japan a violent or dramatic country?

  • What is it about Super Hero movies that make them so popular?

    With the release of the MCU in back in 2008 with its first film, Iron Man, people seem to really come to these comic book super hero movies more and more with each one. Even in DC with the newest Joker movie, people flooded the movies to see it.

    According to Wikipedia (at the time of this question), all 4 Avengers movies are within the Top 10 highest grossing movies. The next one down the list is Black Panther at number 12. Aquaman coming in topping the DC movies at number 20.

    Growing up, I was never into super heroes, in the end always saving the day, keeping their identities a secret, etc. I didnt even watch much Power Rangers, but I still like that series.

    But what is it about super heroes that makes them so great and popular though?

  • Why is the Tyrannosaurus Rex so popular, or is it overrated?

    As a dinosaur fan from childhood, I have noticed things like movies, coloring books, and other various sources of media that the T-Rex is among the most popular (if not THE most) popular dinosaur. However, the Rex is honestly not my personal favorite.

    I do not hate the T-Rex, but everywhere there is dinosaur media, it has to include it like its a law or even a commandment.

    But asking those who love it or not, is it your favorite dinosaur (if so, why?) or is it just overdone and overrated?

  • Why do I fail so bad at life?

    I just feel like I am not succeeding to where I can/should/need to be. I am just average in looks. Not very attractive. I try to make friends, but I always end up alone in the end. I give a lot (if not everything) to try to make others happy, but never am I happy myself. The younger generation is ahead of me in life, where I cannot seem to get anywhere. When I try and do good, it ends up being a bad choice in some way.

    I just want to belong, and not be a failure.. not be unsuccessful. My one friend likes me, but her family does not. Other than that... All I got is my family, but even they look more on the negatives than the positives at what I do.

    I guess I cant even rely on my own parents or family...

    I hate my life!

  • What are some good Deadpool cosplay themes (see details)?

    I went to my first local major Comic Con in Atlanta last year. I had a fantastic time! Doing it again this year. However, I need a new theme on my Deadpool costume

    Last year I dressed similar to his design in the "party scene" in the Deadpool game. This year I already got 2 themes (a Hawaiian theme and a Baseball theme), and I need a third to complete the 3 day weekend looks.

    Taking suggestions for any new looks, on a budget. Something original, funny, and simple.

  • In the game of Yu-Gi-Oh! Is there a difference between discarding a card and destroying a card from the hand?

    So I have a dinosaur Yu-Gi-Oh! deck, and I am wondering about the effect of Fossil Excavation...

    [Activate this card by discarding 1 card, then target 1 Dinosaur-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. Negate the effects of that monster on the field. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.]

    ...in combination with either Babycerasaurus

    [If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck.]

    ...and/or Petiteranodon?

    [If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck, but it cannot attack this turn.]

    Also, is there a difference between a discard and destroying a card from the hand?
