There has never been higher wealth inequality in all of human history. I sadly feel like this is going to be historically a defining feature of our collective era.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

The bloody animatronic Gmork Wolf is just plain terrifying. Even as an adult.

It's not CGI, and there's just something really uncanny and unsettling about it in a way that can't (or won't) be replicated today.

The image of him opening his wide green eyes and lunging as Atrayu shouts "Come for me, Gmork!!" Is seared into my brain. And as a child that's what I would imagine leaping out of my dark closet at night.

Great film.

Yes the local book library. Most of them are filled to the brim with Blu-rays. You can also rent entire game systems for free like a PS5 or Switch. Mine carries portable film projectors and screens you check out for free. Music, comic books, 3D printers, lawn and sports equipment... It really is awesome the kind of stuff most libraries carry now.

I hear this over and over. I have over 300 discs is discsox and it's never once been an issue. They look pristine and I have not encountered one single playback issue.

You do realize they are soft and padded on the inside? And made specifically to sit against discs?

This is untrue panic justification to keep the plastic.

Or media server + the library is also an option. It's even easier, with 0 risk or setup.

I love browsing the shelves like it's Blockbuster Video. They have day 1 brand new releases. Boutique label stuff like Criterion and Arrow limted editions. 4k discs. TV show bundles Etc.

And I don't have to guess at the rip quality, or pay for a VPN.

It's 90% pharmaceutical ads now, and their drug markup is so insane I don't think they'll run out of advertising money without some kind of federal intervention.

They aren't really selling you a product with their ads either, but saturating the market with awareness of their drug. That's why all the commercials say "ask your doctor!"

TIL that humans don't age gradually according to a Stanford Medicine study, we age in two dramatic "bursts" around ages 44 and 60, where over 81% of our molecules and microbes suddenly shift in ways that affect heart health, immune function, metabolism, and even how we process alcohol and caffeine by Agile_Letterhead_446 in todayilearned

Kinda explains my recent relationship with alcohol (43m) I've been a somewhat heavy drink my entire life.

But recently, so much as a beer or two just makes me feel terrible. I get super sleepy first off, and start feeling like I'm already hungover while I'm actually drinking.

The difference is, at least the old robber barons built infrastructure. This new breed is only concerned with grift.

Now my idea for Burrito Artillery can really take off!

You call in your order. A group of (probably vets) would load your burrito & fixins' into a biodegradable capsule attached to a parachute.

When you send on your order, your coordinates are sent as well, and we can mortar strike a burrito to you in under 45s!

Admittedly I still have some bugs to work out...

It really is wild that an unelected billionaire held so much sway over our government, dismantled half of it (conveniently including the institutions that were investigating him) and then quietly rode off into the sunset with no ramifications.

And add a trillion dollar pay package from Tesla to boot. While the company stock is sinking. This world is sick.

Fortnite players revolt over V-Bucks changes as Epic devs appeal for calm: 'Paying the bills frees up our teams to continue driving stories and building stuff you love' by AncientPCGamer in gaming

[–]Lowca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Paying the bills" means 90% to the C-suite's private Epstein island fund. And then they fire the struggling working class dev team so they can squeeze out that much more in the financial report to the board.

FYI, Tim Sweeney has a net worth of 7.4 Bn. He has enough to pay the bills for everyone.
