That was the training data. Along with 4chan.

Remember when windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of windows? 🤣

Hell, I had a Familia (323) that could get pretty far out there. The boys and i would take it out on a 20 mile trail to fish and camp all weekend by a secluded lake. The local ranger (I don’t know what the local terminology was for his job) gave us his number in case we ever got stuck, though we never needed it. Only once did he stop us to warn us of pretty severe washout after heavy rain. We heeded his advice and went elsewhere that weekend.

“All these scientists are getting me pissed.”

I was thinking something similar. Listening and tracking of the US President. That is an espionage dream. It would probably be more useful than assassination, as they’d have direct access quite frequently and could sell the information to adversaries if they aren’t interested in acting themselves.

He’s allowing a foreign government to create and gift his presidential aircraft? This is the pinnacle of trumpism, both incredibly corrupt and incredibly stupid.

The children were “cheering” the cybertruck as it pulled up? This is what people who purchase certain types of vehicles imagine will happen, but it never does. I don’t believe him.

I get it. It’s hard to fit in meetings when you’ve got a busy schedule of watching fox, tweeting, playing golf, and going on rants for the camera.

Let them fight.

The president is openly conducting pump and dump schemes. This is truly incredible. He’ll tell his marks when they lose their shirts, that the “liberals” caused it to happen, and they’ll gobble up that shit straight from his pipe. The minds of the maga cult are completely incomprehensible to me.

Oh, he’s 100% an apartheid supporter. In fact, I’m pretty sure he has had something to do with trumps exposure to South African white nationalists and their “white geonicide/land taking” lies and conspiracies. It’s also interesting to see a fox news host acting as if they’re against apartheid when they’ve been the most significant platformer of these foreign white nationalists and the dissemination of their lies, particularly during the Tucker era.

Most trucks can accommodate some sort of official or unofficial tent. Granted, the Aztec was, I believe, designed with that in mind. I feel like the cybertruck tent failure was likely a combination of poor design and the lack of critical thinking that a person who purchased a cybertruck has. Regardless, I prefer my canvas tent on the ground. There is plenty of space, no climbing, and I can have a stove (heat only) for winter excursions.

Sounds like an old timey insult for a “rural” person.

I’m not sure why people downvoted instead of educating. To answer your question: no, it isn’t. It has been awhile since I’ve used torrents, so this may be a little out of date, but typically, within your P2P client you’ll have active “seeds,” including while you’re downloading. Some people immediately delete files from “active” after their download is complete. It is generally considered proper etiquette to leave the torrent active (at least) until it you have uploaded approximately 2x what you have downloaded. This helps keep torrents active and relatively quick, while not placing the bulk of the bandwidth burden on a few seeders.

While the story can be a bit bland or even cringy, the movies have a lot of visual appeal. I’m not surprised they do well.

Why are you equating a poor movie going experience with being antisocial and introverted? This resort to ad hominem is unnecessary just because we are having a discussion. I get plenty of regular social interaction, it just doesn’t involve theaters. They’re a pretty minimal interaction space, anyway, if you’re behaving as you should in that space. People can get out and enjoy each other’s company for cheaper and with a better overall experience in myriad ways. While I agree that there need to be more third spaces, the theater won’t be it, if for the expense alone. I remember a time when it was a good way to enjoy some A/C for a couple of hours for relatively cheap. It’ll cost $20+ just for the ticket to sit in a dirty chair.

Very true! I have a great setup at home and I am sitting in the best position for it. Also, it isn’t deafening when action picks up. Louder is not necessarily better.

Theaters tend to be dirty, and the people tend to contribute to making the experience worse with their lack of common decency and consideration for others. Add the cost to attend and the value just isn’t there for many people. These are the major factors to declining sales. Additionally, my home setup is quite nice and not as expensive as you might imagine. My home experience is great. There’s no one to interrupt, throw food, or generally make a nuisance. Also, I can pause at my leisure if I need to take a moment for something else.

I suppose. I don’t think he’s inherently wrong here, though. Ticket sales have been declining steadily for some time, and 2020 sped it up. Theaters have grown increasingly expensive to attend, while the experience has gotten progressively worse.

“Old news” is an idiom meaning outdated or no longer relevant. It isn’t quite that literal.
