Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it's unplayable without raytracing . My card isn't even old, it's just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn't look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.

This is bad right? No known links means this is spreading undetected through the population right now.

This album came up in a discussion of worst album covers of all time, and rightfully so. I don't want to name the band because they're not lying, Wikipedia is seriously fighting to keep this album cover uncensored and accessible.

This isn't some edgy underground band either it's a very popular band from the 70s/80s. It's insane how normalized this pedophilic behaviour was and is in the music scene.

I know this might count as low hanging fruit because it's some random on a website, but I'm trying to dunk more on the actual concept here which I am obviously not linking to.

Setting up following this guide: https://mullvad.net/en/help/shadowsocks-android

And I have everything in OpenVPN and Shadowsocks set up like they say, but when I try to connect to the Shadowsocks server I get the error "Failed to detect internet connection: connection closed". The upload/download shows I can upload at ~30 kbps but no download.

I'm on MIUI 14 which may be the problem because I know it has some issues with...everything really... But I turned off power saver so it should be allowed to run in the background

Been hearing about this one since 2020 at least. From what I've read it sounds like it's most likely not prion related, but people are suggesting environmental contamination from either the Irvings or Glyphosate

And not in a good way.

The movie is written by Nick Pinkerton, who I've never heard of before but is apparently associated with the Red Scare Pod in some way. The movie is a mumblecore surrealist comedy loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, where the main character travels through different parts of the United States and meets different characters. It's got some funny parts and it held together well enough in the beginning but it starts to drag by the second vignette and really starts to broadcast where it leans politically.

The main character essentially acts listlessly throughout the entire movie and calls things and people ableist slurs. While other characters are supposed to...I guess represent different political positions in the US? I don't really know what the point was meant to be, but the vibe is "caring about things is dumb". There's four main vignettes which boil down to the following:

Maybe I don't get it because I don't really vibe with this kind of art. But genuinely this movie was pretty boring and it feels gross when you know the politics behind it. I will give them credit though, I was anticipating a TERFy joke the entire movie and I didn't catch one.

Went to see Challengers last night (good movie btw) and before the movie they played the most unhinged ad I've ever seen. It was AI generated children talking about being victims of the holocaust. It straight up looked like one of those ai tiktok slop stories that bot farms make. Something about a giant image of a child talking about gas chambers while their eyes shifted unnaturally and gazed into nothingness really made me uncomfortable.

Apparently it was to encourage Holocaust education?? Just absolutely terrible execution

I haven't been able to find the ad online yet but if anyone does feel free to share with the class

Thank god this trial didn't end up finding him guilty. For context, he ran over some plain clothes police officer after plainclothes police rushed Zameer's car while failing to identify themselves as police. Zameer was charged with first degree murder for something that was pretty obviously an accident caused by police incompetence. The trial was also full of lying about what happened and being called out.

If you're into the idea of a John Wick esque action movie where Dev Patel fights the BJP and RSS then I really recommend this.

It doesn't outright name the BJP but it's pretty obvious. It's also got some good commentary on land seizures, along with the treatment of indigenous and Muslim communities in India. Also some good representation of the Hijra community which I haven't seen mentioned in much Western media

Absolutely insane ruling but unsurprising that the government would fuck over renters in yet another way. They say it's the tenants responsibility to know if their landlord resides in another country and to plan for that. This is just going to incentivize foreign landlords to not pay taxes and pushing all the responsibilities onto the tenant.

Real back to colonial absentee landowners vibes
