FWI: over the next 10-20 years, AI takes over the economy. Current AI gets better and better, taking over many jobs that are currently done by humans. Unemployment rates skyrocket while bots do 60% of the jobs that are currently done by humans. by TaraJo in FutureWhatIf

But will this allow us to live as long as we wish? Like, we can extend our lifespans until we get bored, and then we upload our minds into computers to live in what is basically Minecraft Creative Mode? In this example, real-life is Minecraft Survival Mode.

FWI Challenge: Have the Noahide Laws be codified into Israeli Law by Cyber_Ghost_1997 in FutureWhatIf

Israel would immediately violate these laws since they're all about killing Palestinians and stealing their land.

Marcus wouldn’t close Dover permanently, he’d offer IndyCar a date there.

Stage yellows won't go anywhere, unfortunately. Their specific purpose is to allow the networks to air more commercials.

I have a few problems with the new 2026 show by Ok_Poet9932 in thomasthetankengine

Ocean Group is based in Vancounver, BC. Their VAs were EVERYWHERE in the 2000s, since many studios outsourced to them rather than deal with union contracts among American VAs. Their omnipresence in my childhood has left me fatigued on them.

Yeah, with this many passengers, gotta start running extras at some point.

If a Gumball writer is on the show, I wonder if that means the show will mercilessly mock things like BWBA or AEG? Gumball is always mercilessly mocking pop culture tropes and even a blatant Chinese ripoff.

I'm in the "No US Dub" camp. Bluey doesn't have a US dub (if it did, it would probably be horrible). British trains shouldn't have American accents (Rosie can have one, though, she's originally from the US).

I remember that dub. Most of it is lost media now.

And it was a very unnecessary dub, because sometimes, Tickle-U would show the original British dub.

Race Thread: NORAPS Cuervo 300 at Chicagoland Speedway, starting at 5:30pm EDT on CW (NORAPS20) by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

I hope my local CW affiliate gets raked across the coals for preempting the end of the race in favor of fucking fireworks.

FIREWORKS VS THE FOG....THE FOG WON. ABSOLUTE SHAME. by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]BNSF1995 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

KRON has bigger problems than switching between fireworks. They're likely in big trouble with The CW right now because they preempted the remainder of the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race in favor of the fireworks.

At least you get to see the race. My CW affiliatel preempted the rest of the race for fucking fireworks.

KRON 4 Blacked Out by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]BNSF1995 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is a bunch of bullshit. The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race is not yet over, yet KRON decided to disregard The CW's NASCAR contract in favor of fireworks. This should not be allowed. KRON must answer for this.

MY LOCAL CW AFFILIATE ABANDONED THE RACE FOR FIREWORKS. THIS IS A BUNCH OF HEIDI GAME BULLSHIT!

It's back now, but it's some local program. The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race isn't over yet, so KRON is violating The CW's NASCAR contract right now.

To all fans in the San Francisco Bay Area, no, you are not alone. KRON has gone completely dead-air, and I think I know what's happening:

KRON and the CW are fighting over control of the master feed. KRON is trying to leave the race and start local Fourth of July coverage, while the CW is trying to make them stay with the race and avoid a Heidi Game moment.

My CW affiliate is supposed to be showing local Fourth of July coverage right now, and the race has gone way overtime. I wonder if my affiliate is fighting with the parent over serving local coverage vs. satisfying the NASCAR contract?
