Unironically, yes. If the “internet” were to disappear tomorrow civilized society would no longer exist. Too much had been built on an unstable jenga tower of technology. We put a lot of faith in the status quo existing despite the fact that little evidence suggests it will

That was really interesting, thanks for sharing

I’m probably going to do a trial run of Bazzite on my secondary computer to see how much does and doesn’t work and make my decision based on that

I’m in the same boat. I am really not interested in Windows 11 at all, especially after using it at work. My primary hesitation has been video game playability in the past but the steam deck has really expanded how many games are playable on Linux and I also play a lot more games on consoles than I did a few years ago

I don’t personally think we’re anywhere close to this point but I imagine the objective is to eat the corporate laptop market. Outside of developers I think there’s a real appeal to giving business users an AR headset and a phone. You don’t have to worry about monitors, keyboards, headsets, etc. It’s significantly lighter and more mobile. Most of what business people do doesn’t need more processing power than a phone has. You could eliminate cubes and just have banks of seats with small desks. Plus imagine the productivity gains when you can literally watch the user’s eyes and prevent them from even looking at non-work items

Wow, I got really distopian with that really fast. Of course Apple and Meta are interested in it

You jest but there’s a carbonated Persian drink called Doogh and Milkis is a Korean drink that they remove a lot of the lactose from. It’s not a crazy concept

You’re correct, I was skipping details to make a joke. While ultimately the mother does deside I think most Moms (who are a mess from just giving birth) turn to the nearest penis owner they trust for a decision on the matter and that’s usually the dad

Carbonating water creates a small amount of carbonic acid in the water and makes the whole thing slightly acidic. Usually it’s not enough to instantly curdle milk but it would certainly give off the same smell/taste as almost expired milk. This would almost certainly be very gross, even ignoring the bubbly milk part

In America at least most people don’t really consider it until the kid is born. Then in the post birth rush of things happening someone asks if you want to circumcise your kid. Most Dads will say “well I’m circumcised, so I guess” and his dad said “well I’m circumcised, so I guess” and his dad said “well I’m circumcised, so I guess” and his dad said “HE IS BORN OF SIN! We must circumcise him to discourage sinful behavior!”

Most people really don’t think too deeply about most things, try not to over think it

It’s kinda the same thing as “selling feet pics” and “stripping to pay for school”. There’s a common belief that since men are so desperate for sex that any woman willing to do sex work will make a decent amount of money. That’s simply not the case if you actually talk to any kind of sex worker. However, America is so puritanical that most people don’t even know a sex worker, let alone have the bravery to ask them about their work

Yup! I record all my movies on letterboxd so I just checked what I watched a week ago and went forward

• Smokey and the Bandit 3.5/5: I expected this to suck but I was really blown away. Burt Reynolds is legitimately funny, Eastbound and Down is an incredible theme song, and the whole ACAB motif of the movie aged very well
• The Legend of Ochi 3/5: I saw this for mystery movie monday and spent most of the time thinking this was a mostly AI generated film. The creators insist there was no AI used in this but it does lead one to wonder why they chose the (for lack of a better term) AI-aesthetic for the whole thing. Regardless, still a weak movie even by kid standards
• Final Destination 3 2.5/5: It’s fine, there’s some nudity and bunch of teens dying violently. Not much to write home about
• True Lies 4/5: About the level of sexism I expect from a 90s movie, but still pretty entertaining and has great jokes. Arnold and Cameron are just two heavy hitters doing great work
• Sinners 4/5: I thought this looked dumb as hell in the trailers but word of mouth got to me so I decided to see it. This movie is pretty good, has good music, pacing, and manages to get you more invested in the characters than most horror movies. It’s worth seeing and I would put effort into seeing it in a packed screening because it’s great with an audience
• Final Destination 2 3/5: This is also fine. Good kills, a decent plot and I like how it ties it back to the first movie, the bus kill is fucking wild (spoilers)
• A Minecraft Movie 1.5/5: I would only recommend seeing this in a theater with a bunch of people. There’s about 5 good jokes in the movie and it really feels like there were far too many cooks in the kitchen working on this

Morpheus died in the Matrix mmo shortly before it ended. The Wachowskis consider the game to be cannon so there’s nothing to be done. It’s not some conspiracy against Fishburne and I don’t know why outlets refuse to include that info

JonTron got too big for his britches, fucked off of GameGrumps and then on a podcast popped off the “50% of crimes are committed by 13% of the population” horseshit and then kept doubling down on it, now he makes just garbage tier reaction videos like once every 6 months

Similarly RubberRoss’ cosplayer wife cheated on him with ProJared in what may have been the most pathetic public cuckoldry since Hogan famously belched “I can’t fuck brother! I ate too much sushi” so Holly and Jared both fell apart after that

I don’t know if he counts as a YouTuber because he got canceled on twitch and moved to YouTube but Dr Disrespect live streamed himself at TwitchCon including going into the public restroom where there were minors present. Which is a bad look but could maybe be seen as an accident if it didn’t also come out that he was actively cheating on his wife, whom he had a child with, with women he was meeting with from Twitch. It was all a bit too much and his platform collapsed while he also started firing off lawsuits in multiple directions
