  • They really are good at painting out wire work in movies these days.

  • I said this when he bought Bond and the Washington Post.

    Bezos is basically Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies: billionaire media mogul who manipulates the news to his own ends.

    Slight tangent, but Elon Musk is even more like Hugo Drax of Moonraker: foreign-born billionaire who owns a rocket company and is obsessed with repopulating the earth with his own offspring.

  • Deep Thoughts by Werner Herzog.

  • The real version isn't a ton better, but his head is less slumped over, and may have just been caught mid-blink.

    There's enough other evidence that he falls asleep during meetings that there's no need to exaggerate this one.

    Edit: This is why this comm has rules. Links to trustworthy news sources, not just random unverified dunks.

  • Just so I'm getting this straight,Being in control of your feed = "echo chambering yourself".Looking at everything = "very angry people flooding the platform with their negativity and extremist views".

    You do you.

  • When the rats start jumping off the sinking ship, remember they're still rats.

  • You've been Baader-Meinhof'd.

  • It's easy to set up any number of seemingly impossible situations if you start with the premise of a super entity that can accurately predict the future.

    What you're given is [Ridiculous Assumption] + [Normal Situation] = [Paradox]

    But the trick is to quickly gloss over the [Ridiculous Assumption] and frame it as [Normal Situation] = [Paradox]

  • Didn't JD also endorse some AfD chuds in Germany last year, only to see their numbers drop even further?

  • They also have a browser extension to put some additional info right on the steam store pages.

    Not the entire price history, but it will show the lowest ever price, and the last time it happened. Even if Valve puts a 30-day history on the page, this would still be useful to know if a game ever gets discounts deeper than whatever it had most recently.

  • Hopefully the story or progression is engaging enough to keep my interest.

    The devs have promised that the story and progression will be getting a change from previous entries. The past few have gotten some flack for just throwing all the currency and all the cars at you without much challenge to it. Recent editions are bordering on being a car-collector-simulator as much as a racing game.

    Personally, I've loved them all for just messing around and driving hundreds of different cars, but a bit of change in formula would be welcome, if they can pull it off.

  • In about two days, there will be reports of massive volume of shorts on oil company stocks that occurred in the minutes before the announcement, then another day after that, nobody will talk about it again.

  • I grew up on Transformers, Thundercats, GI Joe, Voltron, He-Man, Duck Tales, Inspector Gadget, The Smurfs, Dungeons & Dragons, and dozens more. They don't all hold up the same 40 years later, but this was basically the last generation of free, over-the-air Saturday morning cartoons.

  • You better open it up!

    I'm counting to three!

    One....two....two and a half....

  • The cynic in me thinks Vance and the rest of the GOP are waiting until Jan 21, 2027, or shortly thereafter, to remove Trump.

    That gives Vance a nearly two-year trial run, and the built-in incumbent advantage (as long as he can blame everything on Trump) in 2028. Being less than two years as replacement President also maintains his eligibility to run twice more.

    If Vance takes over now, he can't run in 2032 (assuming they do enough fuckery that he's re-elected in 2028).

  • Remember when gas prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine? Biden's fault. But when Trump invades Iran and gas prices spike? Also Biden's fault!
