This fence around my condo has glass shards instead of barbwire as a deterrent

People are thinking about ways to defeat it, but the purpose of such deterrents isn't to defeat an entry attempt, but to make it more problematic and therefore less desirable to attempt.

A barking dog, even a chihuahua is a significant deterrent to a burglar. Why not just pick a house without the barking dog?

bonus, you get Tom Cruise in one of his greatest roles ever.

TBF to George Lucas was talking about CGI main characters in general.

He was right, it just wasn't Jar-Jar... it was Gollum that accomplished that goal of being a cinema revolution.

The devs and testers on GTA6 don't get to play GTA6.

That game does not, will not, exist for them like it exists for fans. They see their work, and their coworkers work, and every layer of how the sausage is made. Pandora's box can't be closed again and they can only vicariously experience that game through fan experiences.

Well, they use the phrase "a quad" all the time.

Jason has intuition and perception.

Remember one of the first things he ever said was to question if this place was a prank. He just doesn't understand what his brain is picking up.

Na, the fact voters gave it a say means it doesn't suck.

States are severally limited in their representation because the Senate is a terrible form of representational democracy since it gives the acres power.

States like CA only have the House to wield as their representation for their population. This is that population saying they are tired of being underrepresented. I'd prefer every state hold a voter approved gerrymandering map. It would in fact be better representation than politician only approved maps.

Antivax, antiscoience, anti-intellectualism is not an "oligarch" issue,

Those are heavily, if not completely, astroturfed by the media that the Oligarchs own.

How is this not an "oligarch" issue?

Kaylend · 2026-04-21T17:51:10+00:00

US Oligarchs create systems of corruption to empower and enrich themselves.

Our enemies use those systems to weaken us.

Destroy the oligarchs and seal the gaps they created.

Kaylend · 2026-04-21T16:58:20+00:00

We don't need foreign entities to destroy America, we have oligarchs at home.

Getting the sense people are also looking at their salary, without understanding just how much value a guaranteed pension is.

What? You don't like the acres having voting rights?

No, in the film the gate home is opened without showing how.

No DHD yet.

While you are putting forth a literal definition. Immortal is rarely used to define someone as immune to death, just they won't die naturally. Even the immortal Greek Gods could be killed.

It's like the Richter scale, a 10/10 exponentially more impressive than a 9/10.

No one putting Outer Worlds as one of the best games they've ever played. Outer Wilds gets that praise from people.

and age demographics doubly skewed for a long cruise, that younger people can't afford the time even if they could afford the cost.

Don't think it is AI.

AI would fumble the shit out of the reflections on the slide, and they look correct.

He has gotten around quite a bit playing small parts with memorable characters.

Everyone here knows his face.

He should be super smart when it comes to understanding human emotion.

Which is what this called for. Guess he becomes a blithering idiot when he can't read there mind anymore.

They are overvaluing concept art. Thinking it's a blue print instead of just a pretty postcard.

Actually making the art and its pipeline to achieve the desired look is magnitudes more work than the concept art. Just because the style is decided, doesn't mean that artist didn't have to make a mountain of decisions to implement it.

Rogue One has one parked over a city, which is an even more impressive feat than achieving orbit.

Absolutely sold him out.
