The other day I wanted to watch a fun animated movie, and found that I’d never seen a Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles movie that came out in 2007. Downloaded, put it on… and immediately greeted by the weinstien logo… then they had not one but TWO different Asian actors doing lines in the “broken Chinese accent.” Kinda ruined the whole movie for me.
What’s the word under “Pumpkin?” this is AI isn’t it
Sounds like the village of Hinderstap from The Wheel of Time series
The “TAK-a-ta’s” are both super helpful and oddly reminiscent of Lisa Simpson learning how to dance “Tap-a Tap-a Tap-a!”
I once went to a place to meet some people. The people I came to meet were in two distinct groups, chatting. I didn’t know which group to join, so I stood in between them, listening to both. First one was talking about something boring and stupid, the second the same. So I just… stood there. Outside both groups, staring at the floor, wondering if I should just leave.
weekly “get high and watch a movie and then watch a few episodes of whatever tv show we’re working on” day
It’s my favorite day of the week! I also eat like a death-row inmate on his way to the chair the next morning. Talkin’ MAD chocolate covered pretzels
what’s the most mature, stable distro there is? One wherein I can stream and download torrents?
Key and Peele rated higher than Chappelle show? What are we even doing here?
lol the people behind season 2 must be fuming…
Also, if they can just, randomly specify seasons of a show, why aren’t they excluding the last season of GoT? or the finale of Lost (haven’t seen, but come to believe that the finale was considered one of the worst ever)?
I stand with the Israeli people and their right to live in peace and safety. At the same time, I don’t agree with all of the Israeli government’s choices on how they are conducting the war. I want the violence to end, and the innocent Palestinian people affected by the humanitarian crisis that has resulted to receive the lifesaving aid they need. And I know that many in Israel share this sentiment.
He wrote an essay for Time Magazine. It’s a short read but… Yeah even calling it a war is troubling, because Palestine doesn’t have a military? He says he feels for the innocent Palestinian people, but spends far more ink on bemoaning rising anti-semitism, and never really touches on the massive difference in body counts between the hamas terrorist attack and the genocide that isreal is currently engaged in. He also, of course, doesn’t call it a genocide.
It’s like his heart is almost in the right place, but he just can’t gather to courage to call a spade a spade. He calls the war in Ukraine a russian invasion, he calls the conflict in Lebanon a pogrom. Why can’t he bring himself to call what’s happening in Gaza the same? It’s literally an isreali invasion and a pogrom. He can’t just call for a two-state solution, say he feels for the innocent Palestinians, and wash his hands of the rest.
The r/jewish reddit thread on his essay is similarly obtuse. it’s from 2 years ago, but even then, it was clear as day to any outside observer what was happening. They’re so worried about the ghost of anti-semitism that they miss the fact they’ve become their own genocidal nightmare.
But why male models?
Dominos thin crust. large with pepperoni and veggies is only 1600 calories. They got a deal (on their website, gotta go to the menu and click it after adding pizza to cart) makes it 9.99. They also let you round up your order to donate to St. Judes Hospital.
I was strict about dieting for a long time, no pizza for years, because I wanted that six pack. I got that six pack. Immediately afterwards, I ate a whole pizza. The flood gates opened. I ended up eating like 6000 calories everyday for 2 weeks. Got sad at my bloated body without a six pack. Got back to my 1200 calorie workout everyday diet. Three days of that, weighed myself, the whole adventure only gained me 5 lbs. Would do again.
Nope! My boss told me that because I work from home I should log on at 8:30. So, naturally, I log on at 8:55, cuz I know his ass ain’t getting there early enough to notice 🤣
Oh I haven’t tried anything yet. I’m too scared I’ll fuck it up 😅 Anything that has me loading boot screen and entering commands has me thinking I’ll just absent mindedly type “delete system/32” somehow
As a lay-person, reading these memes and comments, and understanding nothing, is probably the biggest factor that’s made me decide that, while I hate windows, I’ll never feel comfortable using Linux. I mean, seriously, how much of the time are you frustratingly troubleshooting stuff? I just want something like Windows that won’t shove ads and ai bullshit at me and won’t brick my laptop after updates 😭
I dunno, I want to live an interesting life, so I’d volunteer to try ALL the jobs. Mining dilithium, serving aboard a starship, fighting baddies on the outskirts of Federation territory, raising a family, becoming a holodeck program writer… A life of leisure means you get to try whatever you want, and can always fall back knowing you’ll be fine. I think more people would want to do stuff, like me, than you think.
Kinda like how every single pilot program and study they’ve done with basic income has had the same end result, no reduction in work force. People want to feel useful, and they want to get ahead. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, when everything else is met, people just want to feel needed.
Godamn Lower Decks really was the best Trek we had and they fucking cancelled it
Also Geordie falling in love with the holodeck version of a visiting researcher, Christy Henshaw in the episode “Booby Trap.” She encounters her holodeck version swooning over Geordie and it weirds her out tremendously
It’d meet with the same level of success as “That 90’s Show”
I haven’t traveled nearly enough, but I’d say it’s either Amsterdam, Netherlands, or Barcelona, Spain.
Amsterdam for the freedom and beauty. Barcelona because it’s beautiful and on the beach.
It’s not even a great beach, kinda rocky for my taste, but it’s just such a beautiful city.
