It's crazy to think that the country we've been strangling for almost a century doesn't have blockbuster slop as a bigger priority because of CONunism.

Do you have a source that isn't AI generated?

The 'i' is capitalized. The multinational corporate conglomerate that owns them is called Independent Journalism.

I have never enjoyed Adam Conover. He's like Penn Jillette but even more insufferable and less funny, which is a triumph in both respects. But unlike Penn Jillette, Adam has always seemed disingenuous to me. So I'm not particularly surprised to see him shilling crypto, and not particularly surprised to see him backpedal for dear life. It is weird to hear him keep calling himself a comedian. I genuinely didn't know that's what he saw himself as.

YAASSS QUEEN! Can you imagine how embarrassing this slamming must have been?

The tech bubble needs to crash before we start seeing great tech people again. There's too much money in it. If you asked 100 computer science majors why they chose CS they would all tell you it's for the money. And I get it, because it fucking sucks out there.

So are they going to stop the software carriers at the ports? Are they going to search every software container for Chinese AI?

Oh, no doubt. But we need to normalize not taking at face value pictures of text. At least make them put some effort in.

Dude that's awesome. What if superheroes were sad? I get sad sometimes.

Whereas with a flashlight you can point it at any part of the room you want and illuminate it, but the room as a whole isn't as bright.

Many of my flashlights (I own 3, not trying to brag) are brighter than my ceiling lights by a huge margin and quite easily illuminate a whole room. This analogy only really "works" if you're talking about a maglight from the 90s.

Dude is gay as hell. Admitting that you're gay is one the gayest things you can do.

Is this the bargaining phase?
