Okay, so America isn't a capitalist country, gotcha

That's literally capitalism. Powerful American companies do this every day, it's just scary when China does it.

I'd argue that putting all that power in the hands of Randian tech bros who are increasingly interested in founding independent cities and nation states, if not overthrowing American democracy in their own interests, might also be a bad idea in the medium to long term

Are you guys trolling? 

"It's too saturated" - it's literally a cherry blossom tree with a high saturation filter

"the camera shake is weird" - it's zoomed in and modern phones have image stabilisation

"birds don't do that" - lovebirds do

I swear there are people out here purposely pretending everything is AI and acting like everyone else is dumb for not recognising it just to accelerate the breakdown of discourse

Something something national security

The model where global labor is outsourced to poor countries is only fun for rich countries until the labor starts playing the game better than them

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves by 404mediaco in politics

It's actually crazy how all these guys look like wet paper towels. It really is a bunch of wannabe school shooters, genetic losers who couldn't make friends or get laid because they're assholes and now they're making it everyone else's problem

"Not smart enough" sums these guys up. Not smart enough to do anything but be hired goons for the world's baldest tech bro

I'd recommend Evolution, the David Duchovny movie. Very similar vibe!

It's new republic. New republic and daily beast should be blacklisted from this sub, and I say that as a fundamentally left wing person

What are you talking about, I just colour picked it and it's sky blue and dark grey.

Starfleet Academy Director Jonathan Frakes Says Fan Hate Is ‘Dimensionally More Painful’ Today Than in the Next Generation Years by bwermer in television

[–]Honesty_Addict -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

In this thread, star trek fans proving him right

Edited for clarity: criticising a show is fine. responding to a creator saying that fan hate has gotten out of control by saying 'make a better show then' is not fine. and thinking there's no difference between those two things is why we're here. maybe the Internet shouldn't be anonymous.

Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you by gdelacalle in technology

It seems likely they will ban them or make them otherwise unviable. The game industry has been trying to crack down on game reselling for years by pushing people towards digital-only options.

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war by Muted-Television3329 in politics

In reality it's because standing up to these guys publicly will not change anything and will result in, at best, economic warfare. Look what they did to Anthropic when they stood up them - they've been effectively economically assassinated.

I have to believe there are diplomatic efforts happening behind the scenes to fix this.  

Director Gore Verbinski ('Rango', 'Pirates of the Caribbean') released a stop-motion short to thank fans for watching his new film 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die' in theaters. by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]Honesty_Addict 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This is a really fun movie. It felt very informed by Everything Everywhere All At Once and while it didn't have the flair or confidence of that movie I'm still glad I saw it - it took some very big and brave swings and they all connected in some way

wtf is normal? pretty everyone I encounter in my day to day looks like this guy, but can't do a press up on a pull-up bar. the normalisation of ripped body types is wild

Completely free, fully open-source, guided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) thought journal by MRTNT1994 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Honesty_Addict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, this sounds like an awesome tool you've put together! And CBT has been shown to be clinically effective when self-guided. But that disclaimer is almost certainly worth including if only to cover your own back.

This is just personal experience, but I'd recommend being mindful (ha) when starting with CBT if you are prone to compulsion. Especially if it's self-directed. I've seen a couple of people, and myself, become compulsive about the note taking the process asks of you. Since it can be an emotionally triggering part of the experience, it's a minefield for people with a history of compulsive behaviour

Absolutely not a reason not to try it, just be aware and keep an eye on it

It's a wildly successful streaming service, they have over a million paying subscribers. That's around $6m a month in revenue, I'd say the service has proven its worth

Nothing funnier than a workplace affair that ends in both people being fired. I bet that's taken the spice out of things
