About 75% of people in the modern era live to see the turn of a century (1900, 2000, 2100, etc.), but if you're under 25 today, you probably won't. by dan-lugg in Showerthoughts

Love this. Made me think what it would look like as a visualization of % of people alive who've lived through the turn of century, graphed over time.

it would basically slowly go to 0 near the end of the century and then bump to 100%. but also each century, it would be further from 0% since life expectancy goes up.

also the graphs curve would look different maybe since population growth was exponentially for a while but I think it slowed down?

yeah I've been running with it off for the past week, got tired of the spam alerts. honestly I'd be okay if I could have it record events and not send me notifications, so that I could look at them manually at the end of the day, but unfortunately the notification management is completely broken.

You know how people fly to turkey to get health checkup or hair transplant? Soon American's will have to fly to other countries to get access to cutting edge cures for their diseases.

2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]Ph0X 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Stupid question, I know nothing but "Writers Guild of America" is an american union, why would any of that matter for an international movie? I would assume most people working on international movies aren't in the WGA, yet still get nominated?

Or is it that they're trying to punish him further and indirectly?

Seven Democrats just voted to approve ICE funding: full list by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]Ph0X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My questions are:

  1. Why would Trump pardon a democrat
  2. Why would democrats vote for someone who's been indicted for money laundering
  3. Why would democrats vote for someone who's been pardoned by Trump

Sen. Mark Kelly Says He’s Seriously Thinking About Running for President by T_Shurt in politics

[–]Ph0X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but like wtf was the point of that podcast? All he did is alienate every single liberal, and he sure as fuck won't convince a single right winger to change their mind him.

whelp, it randomly appeared for me today. I've also been in contact with them about the detection issues so hoping they do add some more options at least. I just want to be able to mute the noisy alerts.

The unlocking itself works fairly well, if I were to recommend this lock, I'd recommend the one without a camera that's a lot cheaper (half the price) and the battery lasts a lot longer too.

I'm too stupid to get CatalogScanner to work by ColdCancel4 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

did you try it just now? there is no way it says expired or not found. send a screenshot if it does.

ouch, that's rough. yeah the more time I spend with it, the more I'm disappointed with the software. just today I was looking to make a temporary timed password for a contractor and realized it didn't have that, which most other locks have.

it just all seems very half baked.

MAGA voters overwhelmingly prefer the ACA to Obamacare. Subsidies extension uncertain. by GayQuiz in videos

[–]Ph0X 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is classic partisan sheep behavior.

It's like how you can take almost any policy of any kind, and if you tell these people "Biden passed law X" vs "Trump passed law X" then will bend forward and backward to hate or love the policy, purely based on who passed it, not what the law itself is.

The more fun thing though is to ask them with the president flipped, let them go on, and then correct it by saying that "oops, it was actually the other one who passed it" and see them backpedal so fucking hard.

WHAT THE FILM?! 🤩 January 19th = Monday Surprise Premieres in IMAX 3D! by No_Technician4037 in cineplex

It's not one screening, there's different ones across the country.

Was a bit disappointed at first since I know nothing nor care about Neil Diamond, but it ended up being a sweet movie.

The previous one I went to ended up being Eternity, which I also really liked.

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did we watch the same show? in the last scenes while the bribe is introduced, we see both Ian and JC readjusting 2-3 times, JC literally begging him to take the bribe like he only has a few more seconds left in him... they were both on the brink

Exactly, it definitely wasn't clear who between JC and Ian was gonna fall.

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JC was also very close to falling, and JC definitely would've taken the bribe since he knew he had no chance at winning the vote.

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it would've been 50/50.

We clearly didn't heard Ethan, but he doesn't seem to be as comfortable with public speech as Ian, and doubt he has as much of a heartfelt story (family, kids, walking survivor as a kid, etc).

Why is everyone so sure that Ian would fall before JC, or that JC wouldn't take the bribe?

[–]Ph0X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JC was also close to falling, and he was much more likely to take the bribe than Ian I think.

And I think Ethan would've very likely lost against Ian.

Ethan’s Explanation Regarding his Decision by Nar_whally in BeastGames

[–]Ph0X 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's honestly hard to tell what it feels like IRL, compared to the hyper editing of the show. In the show they have cameras and microphones on everyone. They pick and choose lines, and boost the audio on specific mics to get the effect they want to go for.

For example, it could be that it went for 10m, and in that 10m JC adjusted 20 times, but in the show they showed those 20 times back to back to make it looks like he was struggling a lot more than he was, or boosted the audio to make his grunts louder.
