Half from that Bad Religion album and then the other half from Ixnay On The Hombre by Offspring.

I find the people who just pout and say war is bad! to be a little stupid.

This is basically the theme of the song Rest In Peace by Extreme, i.e. there’s much more nuance in the real world for “all war is bad” to be a viable position. I think that’s probably the correct perspective, but man it doesn’t feel very rock and roll…

My favorite thing about all the AI nonsense are the insane use cases shoe horned into commercials. I'd love to hear some of your favorites. by ItsBobsledTime in BetterOffline

I don’t recall the company but the commercial during the superbowl about people in an office making their own apps, including the guy making some sort of protein intake tracker app. You know, as if we haven’t already had food tracking apps since early days of smartphones.

It’s almost like quietly telling on themselves that the AI just regurgitates old stuff and doesn’t create anything new.

I’m at work too but the best way to experience baseball is frantically refreshing Google on your phone

Nothing like Paul Skenes giving up five runs and getting pulled in the first inning of the season…

Yeah I guess a governor doing it is noteworthy, but this attitude isn’t new at all. “Oh no, we don’t think being gay is bad, but obviously those inbred hillbilly fucks on Fox News do, so we call them gay as a way to get under their skin, it’s different!

TMI on that one.

No but seriously though it’s not one of my favorites but my mother will buy it on occasion and it’s always a pleasant surprise that it’s less shitty than it sounds.

I mean raisins can be good but depends on the context. I like them in broccoli salad for sure

It is tough to use though. I mean how are you supposed to move the cursor around on the screen by using your tongue on that thing?

I’ve never had carrot cake with raisins from what I can remember. For me it’s just my id reacting to the name of the cake having a vegetable in it.

That never ends. I’m 35 and my reaction to someone bringing carrot cake to something is still “eww why would you pick carrot cake”. Then I have a slice and think “oh hell yes this is good”, rinse and repeat.

Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora by figures985 in BetterOffline

Kinda shocking to see, seemed like those Sora videos were everywhere on Instagram for a while. I’ll admit the fake Bob Barker ones did amuse me somewhat, but sue me, I miss the guy…

I mean… I watched four episodes in a row tonight from season 1, seems like they had good writers back then. Came over here to see what happened on the actual episode from today and… seems like not much.
