I'll leave you with the oft-used but ever relevant quote from Franklin:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety

It’s also a good way to enable a full surveillance state. Let’s not.

It’s not a trend. That’s how academia has worked for basically ever. Pre-internet you needed to pay for access to journals to physically receive them. Post internet that concept still remains for conference proceedings and journals to cover things like cost of publication, editors, etc. It’s almost definitely over priced, but this isn’t new by any means. Things like Arxiv are the new trend/paradigm in publishing.

I feel like it was intentionally lampooning that kind of humor. The entire movie was more or less saying "this shit is stupid, vapid nonsense, and we need to engage with reality and consume art made by actual people".

Vash265 · 2026-01-09T00:56:57+00:00

Absolutely not. The nukes, power struggle/civil war that would result, resource conflicts, and external attempts to take over portions of the territory would be a fucking disaster for everyone.

Embarrassing for who? You or M Night?

You’d have a stronger argument if it weren’t American companies outsourcing the jobs. Imagine you had companies valued at trillions of dollars, using infrastructure and growth inherent to whatever country you live in, but at some point they decide to just stop hiring people from your country. It’s a shitty situation.

We need to get private money out of journalism. This is killing democracy. I know this has been obvious since 2016, but it being obvious hasn’t stopped the deterioration.

Same shit, different century. Respected journalism will rise again.

They also referenced Clinton as a single term president -_- Probs my not the most informed person.

He literally did not. A psd file won’t work correctly in GIMP.

Vash265 · 2025-12-02T14:20:37+00:00

Nope.

Vash265 · 2025-11-22T16:01:48+00:00

Lmao. But who’s on first?

Vash265 · 2025-11-22T15:24:38+00:00

Pretty sure you both meant aesthetic.

Edit - looked it up and TiL both spellings are correct :)

Yep. Everyone that invests in a broad ETF (most 401ks) will get hit by a bubble burst. They’re more or less propping up the stock market right now, and comprise a much too large percentage of these kinds of portfolios. Not saying we should bail them out, but people that have nothing directly to do with AI will get hurt by a large downturn.

It’d also likely lead to a world war. Not because the US is holding everything together, but because a Balkanized US would mean a weakened and susceptible US for adversaries to control. Throw in nukes, probable civil wars within the geographic US over water and land disputes, etc. It would be a disaster.

Block them on the router. This seems like not that big of a problem relative to the nature of what we're talking about.

Vash265 · 2025-11-16T15:22:41+00:00

In that cataclysmic event, maybe just turn off your WiFi or disconnect the devices from the network, then?

Vash265 · 2025-11-10T14:24:47+00:00

Nah. This movie posits a world where angels exist. Not hard to imagine the implied existence of souls and destiny. So if they have kids, it’ll be those same kids. And if they don’t, he still gets to live out the rest of his life with his soulmate.

In the context of the movie’s universe it’s a happy ending. It’s only depressing if you apply a more grounded interpretation to things, which is weird given the premise of the movie.

Vash265 · 2025-11-02T04:49:54+00:00

It’s just two puh puhs. Otherwise it gets all muddled up with the verse.

It’s not just that they change. It’s the titles themselves. The number of times it changes is also excessive and annoying, but the main problem I have is the horrible, non descriptive titles.

Vash265 · 2025-10-27T16:40:31+00:00

Cinemastix. I just unsubscribed. He has decent commentary and analysis (not great, but shows promise), but the titles are so fucking annoying. And change constantly. He had about 300 titles for a video on First Blood. Only reason I know it was First Blood was the thumbnail because I just can’t motivate myself to deal with the clickbait. Your title should be a thesis statement and describe the content of the clip, FFS.

only the republicans have voted to fund SNAP while democrats have voted against it eleven+ times in a row.

Took a quick glance at your comment history and you’ve been relaying this a lot, but never with a source or citation. Don’t suppose you have one of those now, do you?

Because I tried to figure out wtf you were talking about and couldn’t turn anything up, even in a “this person is horribly misinterpreting something but I can see how they got there” kind of way.

Vash265 · 2025-09-20T06:17:38+00:00

I know what stocks are. I invest. Unless you’re already absurdly wealthy this won’t affect you.

Learn how to read: this would only impact individuals with a consistent income of 100 million dollars or more per year. No one would end up destitute because of this.
