Jason Pargin’s “Zoey Ashe” books are decent. Especially if you’re focused on social media and AI impacting day-to-day life. You may already be familiar with his writing for Cracked (back when it was good) as David Wong

Winnie the Pooh characters could be translated to DND without much effort: Pooh as a totem Barbarian, Tigger as a Swashbuckling Rogue, Oath of Redemption Paladin Eeoyre, Owl as Nature Domain Cleric, etc. Then you can build a small adventure in the hundred acre woods to collect supplies for a birthday party or something similar
As I live in the south I hear my “how are you all doing” morphing into “howya’lldoin” and there’s nothing I can do to stop it
Bubonic Plague never went away and it doesn’t make much sense to vaccinate against it. It’s still carried primarily by fleas and other small blood drinking bugs, prairie dogs can also commonly carry it. Plague is treated relatively easily by antibiotics and isn’t usually fatal or likely to cause long term damage. As the title indicates there’re usually 7-10ish cases of plague per year in America and those are rarely fatal
Rump roast braised in molasses, brown sugar, chipotles in adobo and stock. Served shredded on flat bread with a Russian dressing and cabbage. Season liberally with paprika and keep trying to wash the blood off your hands, it has to come off eventually, right?
I’m so sorry to be the one to tell you this but 30 years ago was the mid 90s, not the 70s-80s
Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don’t have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot
Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it’d be hard to stop him
Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them
The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists
Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”
There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support
28 Years Later 3.5/5: Man, they just decided to get weird with it huh? Look, there’s one gigantic, swinging, singular thing to talk about in this movie which is a batshit crazy choice but overall I think this might be the best in the series. I’ll have to see how they turn this into a 3 parter before I can commit to that opinion
Oh, Hi! 3/5: This was a mystery movie monday movie and I think this one is going to resonate with a lot of women. I would have liked the ending to be a little less ambiguous, which is how I’m choosing to interpret it because if I take it the way everyone else online did then the movie loses a star and a half
Prey (2022) 4.5/5: Dan Trachtenberg continues to put out the best Predator movies. It’s probably not fair that I like this more than the original because it is so clearly a love letter to the original. Still the story works really well on a re-watch when you see the formula for the movie much more clearly. I had zero expectations for Predator: Badlands and Dan has quickly moved it up my must see list
It just occurred to me that this meme needs like 2 modifications to be about Paul Atreides
I think we’re both dancing around the same ideas. If Pandora openAI hadn’t already opened the box and loosed the horrors upon us this would be a different conversation. Open source models do return some of the grossly abused power away from mega-corps which is always a good move. However the creators of those models need to be held to higher standards than I think we hold most projects to online
Just started with YAMS using Plex 2 months ago:
Movies: 241 TV Shows: 30
About 3.5 TB on an 8 TB drive
I’m going to disagree here. We do regulate some of those things, there’s plenty of things that are illegal on the internet and many governments including the US will hold you accountable for hosting illegal content. Gun makers have been sued on multiple occasions because of their unsafe practices. Car manufacturers are responsible for selling vehicles that meet minimum safety standards
The creator of a tool should have some level of responsibility for it, even if someone else utilizes their creation nefariously. I’m not saying Sam Altman should be sued for manslaughter when chatGPT tells someone to kill themselves (there’s plenty of other things I think he belongs in jail for, but I digress), I just think that being open source doesn’t absolve you of the responsibility of putting up guard rails. Not every invention deserves to see the light of day
I bring my water bottle to theaters and nobody gives a flying fuck. 98% of the time it is water but every now and then I do bring an alcoholic beverage and nobody ever bothers checking to make sure it’s only water
Reloaded and Resurrections? Girl, you can do better
I’m more interested in why he’s on a plane. Capsule Corp primarily uses UFO type tech and certainly nothing with nacelle on the outside wings
“I ain’t lettin my boy play kitchen like a girl”
“Now that’s a real straight man’s toy”
