Nuclear weapons are the ultimate Torment Nexus.

I have a quiet rule where if I post more than twice in a day with no engagement for 24 hours I will stop posting. The one time I stated this explicitly two people liked the post. Her and someone that NEVER posts.

It is the most insane movie I have ever seen. More than A Serbian Film or Human Centipede. The only one that comes close, very, is Yakuza Apocalypse.

I have known and said at the time humanity was in trouble when I got Gmail. This company is going to destroy us with convenience. This was 2007. In 2012 I came home and heard Kyza say just as I parked "Sipping vanilla, chilling, watching Ichi the Killer." I was tired at the end of a long day.

Fair enough.

John, James, Jacob. My mind processes them as WHITE NAMES THAT BEGIN WITH J. With no difference. It is a major reason I read digital books so much. The ability to quickly figure out who the White Name is easily makes things easier.

In 2010 two white women were hitting on me and I tried to indulge them. They got offended because I could not tell them apart and even worse, I struggle remembering European/Christian names.

Nocturnal Animals was so confusing I had to sit in my car and read the Wikipedia and check the cast to understand that Isla Fisher and Amy Adams were not the same character. I genuinely think all Anglo Saxon and Germanic people look identical.

I had to put my finger under every word as I was reading this to make sure i understood what was being said.

stuff like this is a huge part of AI frustration for me. what was wrong with Google maps? is having a computer say "turn left at the big tree" so valuable that you'd rather kill the planet to ask ChatGPT instead of following the little arrow on your phone? we already have tools to do these things!

SpaceX eyes $1 trillion IPO: Report

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Ghost of Yotei has Kurosawa, Miike and Watanabe modes. Oh my days.

The thing about AI is that it is so obviously not reaching the level of adoption that the ruling class had hoped for. Sure, it's still successfully wreaking havoc, but MOST regular people HATE AI and are having it forced on them by their jobs and social media. We should never forget THAT truth

That shit is neither popular nor widely adopted. They're trying to force feed us and STILL failing. Don't let them tell you otherwise. People HATE AI.

A lot of my healthy eating is because if I eat too much /anything delicious other than fruit/ my skin itches for a week and I get horrible headaches.

Also it's somehow an end-of-history / kinda-cyberpunk movie: - the baddies just want money, not ideology - uncomfortable late-80s Japanese corporate dominance orientalism: check - themes of surveillance, automated security, and computer technology

It is interesting technology. It is still useless for a long time at that power level because for years the limit has not been power. It is that rubber technology that cannot provide the grip. Aerodynamics are a smaller factor.

There I go, talking about things that will never happen.

It is only 8th in the country. Just got wind. Emissions could be close to 0 in 5 years if humanity really wanted.

It is self serving. 40% of electricity generated in Oklahoma is from wind. The state is in tornado alley, which is shifting south due to climate change, and is potentially able to produce ⅓ of all energy used in the country.

Butlerian Jihad might be the only way.

China to allow limited imports of advanced Nvidia chip

It "lost its primary safety functions."

Hate. It shows a lack of control. That said, there are people and things I hate. They earn that designation.

Anger. Anger bypasses my logic and my nonchalance. Which means you’ve done everything to pull me out character. It’s volatile && it’s disrespectful.

somewhere north of 65 million tons of electronic waste was generated last year - of that only 22% is event flagged as properly collected, let alone actually recycled. stories like this are justified because "we need the metals" - then why are they being thrown into landfill, promoting destruction

People refuse to believe I am broke. I am. I am especially too broke to buy 4 figure alcohol for any reason.

I have 1-5 drinks a year. 1 for every new country and 1 or 2 with friends if it looks delicious. People want me to start a new birthday tradition because historically birthdays have been some of the worst days of my life. One tradition I considered was buying Pappy van Winkle and having a drink.

It is very telling how men come to the defense of men AFTER it has been found the man did something wrong.

Never cared about the man in life. Then he violated women and now they must be defended.

Then I remember people take the words of starving desert men from 5,000 years ago as sacrosanct and literal. Capitalism being defended by anyone without access to means of production. Not masking to avoid disease. Buying SUVs when the climate has told us it is a bad idea for 50 years.

I tell Her and everyone that the average person is not unintelligent. Humans got to the moon 56 years ago and space 62. The bottom of the ocean 65. We can eliminate or control most disease. There are even decades old vaccines for (lung) cancer. Birth control sans side effects or hormones.

To me Joe Hill is a better writer and ends his stories more interestingly and conclusively. King is more illustrative. A trait Hill also has considering he also has multiple thousand page books.

Stephen King stopped taking drugs just before his children became adults. The quality of his books plummeted. Then he got into the accident and the horror elements went down and the install writing went up significantly.

them mfs pushed the bar so low that they were able to win elections with "vote for us or else" despite knowing other paths to victory.

My main zombie survival rule is to not be around white people after the collapse.

"Once solar panels and wind turbines have paid for themselves, electricity gets generated very cheaply." Communist China doing capitalism better than the Americans.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Heists are back!
