It’s quickly reaching the point where all the US will be able to export will be movies and television.

Until Trump turns on Hollywood because they won’t give him an honorary oscar, that is.

Those are from Belgium, not France.

Trump’s always wanted to be a mobster, even though he lacks the skill.

Unless your name was Sarah Connor, of course.

Morally, having a child is indistinguishable from murder.

Still no chapter #148, though… 😭

Yesterday, yes.

I don’t mind sex scenes if they fit the characters and plot (and won’t complain about seeing naked beautiful people anyway, as long as it’s fine by them), but the awkwardly placed and just long enough to be creepy feet shots on Tarantino’s films and the anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (of course the first episode of season two had to have one; seriously, Madhouse, what the actual fuck) start to get tiresome after a while…

For context, this was back when TVs were big boxes with a cathode-ray tube (a massive vacuum-“filled” glass bottle with the phosphorus-coated screen on the bottom and a literal particle accelerator on the top, put on its side, and powered with high voltage) inside.

If you can manage to have sex on top of a low cupboard put on top of a table you could probably have sex on top of one of these (though you probably shouldn’t, what with the glass, and vacuum, and high voltage, and whatnot), but falling off would probably be a common outcome.

Doing it on top of a modern flat screen would require a much less believable amount of acrobatics.

GenAI-made ads have famously received even more criticism than regular ones, though, so maybe they’re not even good for that (even “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” might not apply here, given that the common reaction seems to be to want to boycott the advertiser)…

Injecting “seamless” ads into their results might work better, but people are usually quite fast to detect product placement in images, and would probably raise an outcry, and in LLM’s case users would probably also notice, and the more pre-prompted the things are the more useless they seem to be… them suddenly talking about products and brands on every answer would probably drive even more users away.

It seems that many people suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia experience occasional short episodes of lucidity (especially when nearing death).

This suggests that memories, personality, and reasoning ability might not be (entirely?) destroyed, but simply inaccessible or unable to work properly, and that if the root cause for this malfunction could be treated a partial or even total recovery might be indeed possible…

The award lost any respectability it might have had the second it was given to Henry Kissinger.

Sure, people are more and more ignorant and incapable of basic though every single day, but that’s just the system working as intended, producing a population that’ll be as easy to exploit as possible without even noticing it, and who wouldn’t be capable of doing anything about it even if they were aware.

That’s horrible and monstrous and we need massive reform and to euthanise the ruling billionaire class if we are to survive as a civilisation.

That said, however, if your game relies on hints in order to be playable IT’S A BAD GAME.

Sure, back in the good old LucasArts and Sierra days you could call a helpline if you were stuck, but the games were designed to be solvable without doing so, and a high percentage of players having to call would have been seen as a serious design failure.

I’d say this developer is another example of the decaying capabilities of the average human. As is whoever wrote the “article”.

Didn’t eat it, just raped its teenage mother and threw it in a lake.

already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention

It’s all projection with these assholes.

ACAB.

There’s zero other reason to shoot

Pig could be a racist, an homicidal maniac (which seems to be a requirement for the job), a little coward with no trigger discipline hiding behind its gun (another requirement) firing due to a nervous spasm, it could have heard an acorn fall and thought it was under fire and started blindly shooting “defensively” (happens more often than you’d think), aiming at a playful neighbour’s dog, under its monthly murder quota, being initiated into a cop gang, high off its mind on a cocktail of PCP, meth, and cocaine from the evidence room, or more probably some combination of most of those…

Oh. Why not simply call it murder, then? Is duelling an aggravating circumstance?

Wait, how can you arrest only one person for dueling…? Wouldn’t you need two? Is this some sort of Fight Club situation…?

ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
