If Disney can’t sue for this, then what exactly would be too far? We’re a few steps from being able to animate our own movies in Disney style.

My high school paid for everyone to take some type of career aptitude test. Everyone got a list of various possible career choices. Burned in my memory now is that I scored “region 99” which apparently meant my personality type didn’t fit any jobs. Or something.

I’ve had this experience and morning was like, “I’m gonna plan the trip of a lifetime to London and Paris and maybe Rome for a month or more.”

Then in the evening I’m like, “well Vegas is a cheap flight, so if I spend a night in Vegas maybe I can go to Denver too?”

Depends how easy it is to avoid using. When there are lots of choices it’s easy to switch. Hard to boycott the website that handles half of all retail in the USA.

I got charged for like 3-6 months of DoorDash premium. And that’s without having a DoorDash account. Apparently my GF used my card for one order, and managed to accidentally sign up for a subscription which she never used. So the account not in my name, not on my phone, and not attached to my email. I was able to call them though, and they “generously” refunded 2 months.

Seriously fuck DoorDash.

The Last Jedi in particular sucked balls. TFA was good.

I’d force project myself like a hologram in front of a ton of enemies, get shot at for awhile, but don’t worry I’ll be fine I’m just a force projection. But then it turns out force projecting myself is really hard, so I’ll die anyway about 5 minutes later. That seems peak useless.

You never really know, it’s plausible. But I doubt it. It doesn’t seem any more likely now than it did in 2016.

Ceasefire in Gaza for a minimum of 6 weeks (if I understood the news correctly) is huge. That conflict might be close to over if we’re lucky.

That shitty host is like “WOW GET A LOAD OF THESE FREAKS” the whole time while the freaks are being welcoming and nice.

That’s literally the joke. They start with the wrong opinion then slowly educate you with the correct one.

Former NBA players Jarrett Jack and Chris Duhon are cousins.

The Daily Show had a segment Who Will Juggalos Vote for?.

Wilhelm scream. It’s in everything. It’s memorable in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but it’s in Soul Plane too.

I’ve watched far too many hours of sitcoms, because I’m recognizing a specific laugh that gets re-used over and over. It’s by far the worst on How I Met Your Mother (where I first noticed it). They’ll repeat the same laugh 2-3 times within the same episode. It’s a specific high-pitched laugh that almost sounds like the person is inhaling while laughing rather than exhaling. HIMYM doesn’t use a live audience so they re-use the same laughs for the entire run of the show.

They do this for all new accounts now. They let you make an account and use the site for a day or two and then start requesting personal info like drivers license. The scan of your face will be used to see if you appear in the background of other people’s photos. Giving you new friend suggestions, and generally increasing the amount of time you use the site. But it’s also about them harvesting as much info from you as possible, because that’s what they’re selling.

Honestly makes a lot of sense. The ink probably turns into a solid at too low of a temp.

USB micro (not sure if you’re getting micro confused with mini, but doesn’t really matter) only supported data transfer, not video transfer (like HDMI). Some USB-C ports are data only, but it theoretically supports more than USB micro was ever capable of.

For example you can buy a USB-C to HDMI cable for a few dollars, which could theoretically plug your phone directly into your TV (if your phone supports that). But a USB micro to HDMI cable was called an “MHL adapter” and was expensive and only worked on specific MHL capable phones like this one. It has a separate box that requires its own power cord in order to work, it’s not just a simple cable. USB-C should, in theory, eliminate the need for such a thing.

a series of switches is not ever going to create a sentient being

Is the goal to create a sentient being, or to create something that seems sentient? How would you even tell the difference (assuming it could pass any test a normal human could)?

I heard Facebook is spent tons of money to combat election misinformation in 2016 and 2020 and I heard the same story again in 2024. The problem is solved right?

As a depressed 16 year old boy I received a self help book from my mother. I was offended. Never opened the book. Like in hindsight I guess she thought I needed help and the book would somehow do that, but all I saw was that my mother thought something was wrong with me.

AI is just a plagiarism machine with thousands of copyrighted materials that “trained” it, which they paid nothing for.
