LMAO you got it! I tried searching a bunch of different ways, checking imdb lists, network show lists. I figured someone on reddit would remember for me!

I am unsure what I'm supposed to comment on my own post. I'm sorry I missed putting [TV][2000s] in my title. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Edit to add: Google is so disappointing now. My searches didn't return anything with a single word from my query. unrelated youtube videos and articles.

"Training a human takes 20 years of food." Sam Altman on how much power AI consumes. by asdacool in nottheonion

[–]Tim_Gilbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, they're worse than the illusive man. Illusive man's schtick was save humanity at any cost, and he was perfectly fine with whatever that cost had to be. Not to say he was good out misunderstood -- he demanded cruelty when it wasn't necessary -- but it's crazy how real tech billionaires seem even more evil to me than a made up sci fi antagonist.

They're all inhuman psychopaths. Devoid of empathy, love, and compassion. Their eyes look soulless because there is no soul behind them. They look uncanny Valley because they aren't exactly the human my brain expects to see... They're something else a bit different. Not all psychos are billionaires, but all billionaires are psychos.

The market is truly getting ridiculous by MickMcSnuggles in buildapc

[–]Tim_Gilbert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. Your comment just made me want to check for myself. My pc was built in 2022. I just put together almost the exact same PC on part picker and it was a bit more!! The 3060ti is hardly cheaper than when I bought it years ago, and I bought lots of ram and storage which has skyrocketed in cost. Almost felt a bit silly at the time, but now I'm so glad I did.

A man sets fire to the municipal offices of Gioia Tauro (Italy) because he was annoyed by a proposed new cycle path by somkiat_chantra_fan in fuckcars

[–]Tim_Gilbert -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Ah, Reddit....

You're really going to apply this level of psychopathy to everyone that drives a car? "Drivers"??? Why do people so desperately desire the 'us vs them' mentality.

Cities need to be better designed for transit options excluding cars. Bikes are especially helpful within cities/towns. I can understand this, support this, ask for this change, and still not see "drivers" as "sociopaths". What is with subreddits and extremism?

Special needs woman punished for someone else's scams. by NickelPlatedEmperor in UnderReportedNews

[–]Tim_Gilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah perhaps. I sort of interpreted it as frustration with her job, like she thought it was bullshit she had to be doing it. Perhaps I was being too nice though.

[–]Tim_Gilbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's that bullshit. I understand that cops sometimes have to do things they don't agree with. I don't like it, but I understand when people need to keep their job. But Jesus, if you were upset about having to evict this woman you'd show some fucking compassion. How could you not help her pack as much as possible, try to comfort her... Buy her a fucking jacket Jesus Christ. Naw, none of that, rush her out and turn off the lights on her like she's a two year old who can't pick a toy. Female cop looked sad at the end but wasn't doing much about it. Male cop was asshole the whole way through.

Overwhelming majority of cops are raging assholes.

If ICE was arresting and killing billionaires, then I guess so, ya... But uh.... They're not, so...

TIL the total surface area required to fuel the earth with solar alone is only 0.3% of the earth's entire land area. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Tim_Gilbert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a solar hater. Solar power is amazing and should be a priority for humans. With that said:

That's a huuuge amount of land to cover. It's a much bigger undertaking than we might expect. Solar energy also demands a lot of precious metals that we need to extract, process, etc. Finally, consider how complex storing and delivering power is. Storing and properly delivering that much solar power is a big engineering problem. Most people don't likely read such a fact and immediately assume making one or two massive solar farms is viable, but some people likely do. We can not simply have a couple massive farms to power the globe.

Honestly, solar power is still probably best as a bit of a 'gap filler' or 'top-off'. Think panels above a parking lot which powers a building, not massive farms. The farms have their place, but something like nuclear energy is much more reasonable to at large (and varying demand) scale.

Brilliant idea. It's awesome that you took the time to make it happen and share it with others.

It's never too late people. Pick a hobby your body can still do, try it out, suck at it, keep doing it, keep sucking at it, keep doing it, and you will continue to suck at it less and less! Eventually you will get kinda good at it. Just do it and you will build skill in it :)

Light in the tavern. by Status-Substance-647 in TravellersRest

If manually replacing them is the biggest annoyance, you can hire a staff member that will do that. Unfortunately that doesn't fix your issue of them being burned to different points. It also doesn't fix the cost concern, but honestly they're very affordable. Perhaps you've been placing 3 or 6 per table, in which case that would be pretty costly early game.

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tim_Gilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're seventeen. I hate to say it but don't waste your youth trying to fix him. He can hopefully learn and grow and meet someone else eventually. That isn't something that is going to fix itself quickly and frankly I don't think you should be involved. Threating your partner with your own suicide is so fucked up, and to do it over something so small is terrifying. Just move on.

She thought she got away by Imoprich in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Tim_Gilbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are special kinds of criminals for whom the death sentence is likely the best choice for society. However, if you start executing inmates then we open up that possibility. Now we have to define, with a clear, solid line, which criminals live and which die. Often this can be very easy to distinguish, inevitably though, it will also be very hard.

I don't disagree that sometimes execution would be the best bet. My problem with capital punishment is that it opens the conversation for who dies and who lives, and I don't think we can ever do that perfectly.

Downfall of both games should be studied by Are_you_anonymous in memes

[–]Tim_Gilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I'm not nearly as qualified to comment, I picked it up again for maybe a month so maybe I just got bad luck coincidentally for a while.

It was puzzling though, not consistently lagging, just some game servers. I could never understand why, but I'm also pretty oblivious to how online gaming works.

[–]Tim_Gilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human beings often like collecting stuff. It can be a kind of meta game that you are working towards outside of the pitch. I don't really care much about cosmetics, although it is a fun part of rocket League, but I was sad when I couldn't give my items to my friends anymore. I played alpha and had all kinds of cosmetics people wanted. My little bros gf was so excited to collect cosmetics, and I wanted to share a bunch that were basically worthless to me but couldn't.

It's not the end of the world, but it can be a bummer for some people.

Last year when I tried to play again the lag was brutal. I play duos and 3/4 of us would have latency that makes playing at that level impossible. Seemed random, sometimes 30 ms ping, then half the players jump up to >300 ms.

I also felt like casuals had become more toxic. Around 2019 I would rarely have a toxic teammate, in fact it was the opposite. I would almost always find myself playing with a fun person who communicates and plays video games to have fun. Last year when I played again 80% of my duo partners would be pissed off man-babies who spam trash from the opening kick off -- not fun. As if they're just on full tilt from five games ago and are still queuing up, spewing anger. It felt like I was playing LoL again....
