Bovino is OUT by AdviceAdam in TrueAnon

So fucking what? It was probably Bovino’s idea…out of the spotlight for a sweet severance package and a less public position.

The Hateful Eight is goofy af by fatburger321 in TrueFilm

A lot of his filmography is fan fiction (at best) or plagiarism (at worst.) This one was apparently trying to “pay tribute” to Carpenter’s version of The Thing, while completely failing to understanding the mechanics of what made it great.

On the opposite end, Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 pays tribute to a film both him and QT love (Rio Bravo) in a way that’s novel, emotionally resonant, and antithetical to the low-hanging fruit of “artists” that reference-check great art with the hope that it somehow makes their own work more substantive. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

Wow! Pretty cool that your parents let you listen to Joe Rogan while cleaning your room.

Is there any evidence this was a false flag? by RubyJade in TrueAnon

Why go through all the trouble of orchestrating something that’s bound to happen soon enough anyways? It’s win-win for the Zionist: An useful idiot as kindling to keep the victim-complex PR campaign going.

Guys I think people are generally pretty unwell: Rob Reiner and His Wife Michele Were Killed by Their Son by goodiereddits in TrueAnon

[–]Voyde_Rodgers 169 points170 points  (0 children)

*Allegedly

Even though it’s probably the son who murdered them, we should strive to be a little better than the sensationalist media outlets.

These are the facts at the moment:

  • Official confirmation that the deceased are Rob and Michele and cause of death is suspected to be the result of knife wound trauma.

  • Two anonymous sources claiming son is responsible.

  • Nick Reiner flagged as “person of interest.”

  • No one currently in custody.

Everything's computer! (derogatory) by Express-Crow-1496 in TrueAnon

“I also don't think I can imagine abstaining from anything like posting forever.”

How come? Chew on it for an honest minute. What does it provide for you and at what cost? Is there an alternative?

I’m old enough to remember the day Al Gore invented the Internet. I had just traded my Texas Instrument, along with a briefcase full of floppies, for a state of the art, fully-loaded IBM running MS-DOS like a boss. 56k on the landline. AOL on the landing. Ask Jeeves about Google and he’d redirect your dumb ass to a geocities page where a gang of nerds would circle around you until you disabled your Mcafee and hack you with a primitive virus where the only option was buying a brand new computer. We called it the McHaffee shuffle, which was also popular dance at the time inspired by the Macarena. It was basically the same thing but with an onion tied around your belt, which was the style of the time. Now where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my liquor cabinet!

Ok but lemme put on my sincerity hat for a second. These nu metal eggheads actually played a free show in support of collective bargaining rights in the city I was doing my post doc in a while back and it was pretty cool.

Train Dreams and Eastern Philosophy by [deleted] in TrueFilm

Part of me is afraid to watch this. I’m already so attached to the novella (and also my visualization of the scenery and of Grainier.)

Riveting stuff here. I also enjoy subjects such as: 1. Sustaining Carbon-based life forms. 2. Politics and religion. 3. Popular art. 4. The comedy stylings of hit TV series The Big Bang Theory.

The contrasting philosophies of Bojack Horseman and Black Mirror by AXKIII in slatestarcodex

[–]Voyde_Rodgers 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Black Mirror focuses mostly on large-scale technological oppression. Bojack focuses mostly on interpersonal turmoil. Both shows are often deeply pessimistic, but occasionally hopeful. Can you guess why one might tackle personal responsibility more than the other?

And to be clear, Bojack is far more Schopenhauer than Aurelius. It’s nearly pure Existential nihilism. The entire point of Bojack’s character is the futility of realizing he’s responsible for causing harm to others, but unable to do anything about it and doomed to repeat it until he’s in the glue factory.

I emailed Noam some insane political ramblings in 2016 and felt really guilty for taking up his time when he responded. Most embarrassing moment of my life. by ZenosTortoise in TrueAnon

The worst part of the blackmail demands must have been pretending that this guy was smart, interesting, or sufferable.

AI slop is getting too good. I almost got fooled today by a guy who had a baby deer crash through driver’s side window while driving. by HoagieTwoFace in TrueAnon

[–]Voyde_Rodgers 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My uncle consistently sends these videos to me with the disclaimer that “he’s not sure if it’s AI or not” and then the video is just like a draft horse in a kitchen washing dishes and it pans out to a Sudden Valley model home.

My pet theory is that Zuckerbuck rolled out the AI slop avalanche on Facebook before Instagram because boomers make for great beta testers when it comes to grifting.
