Kinda suggests to me that even the cult members are mostly in the cult so they can get a closer look at the exciting shitshow. I don’t get the impression this guy cares that Trump got shot, just that he’s a part of the “fun”.

That explains the second verse and the lyric “We’ll throw the ball and we’ll throw the bat / The baseball goalie has to be really fat”

Not as well known, for obvious reasons.

It was beaten by a year by Dark City.

I saw both Dark City and The Matrix, in the theaters, when they were released. I liked both, and I have talked up Dark City for years to people who only saw the Matrix.

Recently rewatched Dark City. It is nowhere near as good as the matrix. It’s still very cool, but it’s confusing and janky as hell and that’s not part of the charm.

If you’re reading this and you haven’t seen it, you should! It’s fun and you’ll see some cool shit. But don’t expect it to be better than Matrix.

Gattaca is a parable about racism, in-groups vs out-groups, and the need to keep the powerful from seeing what you really are inside. We’ve basically always been there.

This also works for books assigned as homework.

And there’s no solidarity like class solidarity. Remember Ellen Degeneres hanging out with Bush? Bruce Wayne would’ve been in that skybox too.

There’s a missing 4th piece of poster board, that would be placed to the right.

It would have read:

ROOM
, YOU ASSHOLE

Are these things literally Little Tykes Cozy Coupes like wtf

It’s actually safer if everyone knows. Spreading the knowledge of Roko’s basilisk to everyone means that everyone is incentivized to contribute to the basilisk’s advancement. Therefore just talking about it is also contributing.

This change is likened to expanding a CPU from a one-lane road to a multi-lane highway

This analogy just pegged the bullshit meter so hard I almost died of eyeroll.

Damn it’s gonna take me a while to make a whole cup but I’ll get started

Feel free to distract the shit out of the drug dogs though.

Or maybe hang this one in the kitchen

I’d really love it if people stop saying “it’s by design” when they can’t point to any motivation for that design. When the quoted admin says “thinking this is by design” this is equivalent to saying “Lemmy developers prefer that there be no image moderation tools.”

Like, what. Why would they want that. They clearly don’t want that. They’re working on changing that.

Two stories like this–as in, “oops AI sucks actually”, in about as many weeks. (The other one was about Amazon shutting down their Just Walk Out mechanical turk nonsense.)

I think we’re starting to see the tide turn against Altman’s big con.

I liked this quote BTW:

the test left it confident “that a voice-ordering solution for drive-thru will be part of our restaurants’ future.”

lmao you… already have one of those? So the subtext of this message is “we can’t just say AI was a terrible idea but yeah, we’re going back to the shit that worked before”

Apart from the confederate flag itself, this show was pretty much anarchist. They spent every episode humiliating the cops and breaking any unrighteous law they could. The show treated the flag as set dressing.

They also came from a family that canonically resisted the Union during the civil war. And there’s very few black people in the show whatsoever. So.

I know the hate symbol has always been a hate symbol, but if there’s any show where you could say “it was a product of its time” (the 70’s, btw) I think it’s this one.

The woman who launched the site gets clocked as trans by gender prediction systems. It’s already happened.

Nothing could possibly benefit that company as much as Elon Musk getting demotivated and no longer coming in to work.
