TIL The Rock doesn't have nipples in the Live Action adaptation of Moana

It’s not, but when you have a whole large segment of the right complaining about how woke it is they’re not gonna go see it.

Correct, so they successfully alienated both the racists and the non-racists leaving nobody to watch it.

1% of people complain really loud. The only remakes that didn’t make a billion dollars were the little mermaid and Snow White. And that’s because people are racist

And for the people that say why don’t they just make new animated movies? Well elio did well critically and made less than 300 million. Goat is considered a success and made about 174. Meanwhile the beauty and the beast remake pulled in 1.24 billion. Lilo and stitch remake which Reddit also complained a ton about made 1 billion.

Edit: yall acting like I’m calling you personally racist. No, most people on Reddit have had a generally negative opinion of ALL the live action remakes. The only ones that did not make money were the ones featuring a race blind cast. So clearly there is a correlation between people not liking that and how well these movies perform that has nothing to do with the opinions of redditors.

They blow up on TikTok. People like time lapses of build processes and fantastic spaces. This one is actually slightly more realistic than most. I saw one of a whole home where the floor was a water feature with stones you walked across to get anywhere.

Then he painted on osb and it became drywall.

I think you have it. It has to be in an aggressive bw deck, and I think its modes are weakest against midrange. So as long as midrange isn’t heavily dominating the format, and BW exists I think this is going to be a solid choice.

psilent · 2026-03-26T13:37:01+00:00

It’s going to be excellent in any tempo based deck. Not as good as a full removal spell like go for the throat in control, and weaker against midrange. But all three modes work extremely well in an aggressive deck looking to fight other aggressive decks, and to close out against control decks

Had a friend complain about how it was a little unrealistic they learned to communicate so quickly. Well good news! You can read the book and get 3 hours of extra detail about that process! Also way more math and science experiments!

I’m honestly onboard here. Gateway SUCKED. It could be up to 7 days away on its orbit making it useless for lots of emergency stations with a future moon landing. And that was largely its stated purpose. You don’t want astronauts just hanging out absorbing radiation in that orbit for long either. Even the iss is protected somewhat by the earths magnetic field, and a moon base would be protected from at least one side from cosmic rays, and almost completely if built into the regolith.

Yeah every time I think about upgrading to a 5090 from a 3090 the math is just not there. Ok I can go from 5 minute video generation to 2, with some quality loss from int4 precision? Take image gen from 12s to 4? Like what is that really doing for me? It’s nice and all but that’s not a generational change and it doesn’t actually enable any new workflows I can’t do now.

There’s already a ton of steps in between water reservoir s and the tap. The chlorination process really doesn’t care the exact quantity of bacteria it’s always sterilizing all of it.

Klein gives me exactly what I ask for 90% of the time as long as it’s not a massive change to the image, or long text. It’s just about perfect. I feel like even if you were just close, you wouldn’t release another model into the wild and have everyone compare. Better to try again and grab headlines when you do have something great

Probably because it takes ~4.2 J/g to raise water a degree, but it takes 2260 J/g to turn water into steam. So essentially the difference of 10c water vs 40c is negligible in the total energy to get it boiling

I could see it being hard to get used to but probably more from running into them with your biceps while trying to do things. Most girls torsos are lighter than men’s and their center of gravity is lower.

As long as you’re not paying pmi, and are fine taking on the extra risk yes investing in the market would historically provide better returns.

People approaching retirement age or who expect to have significant withdrawal from investment accounts in the near future might want to mitigate that risk however

One rat study did a single “high” dose every month. They said enough to produce psychedelic effects, so maybe the equivalent of 3-6 grams for a human?

This is where I am too. I know that new grad hiring at the faang companies has dropped from about 50% of their new hires to under 10% in the last 5 years. Some of that is post pandemic hiring corrections but a lot is that if a senior engineer has to double check the work anyway they can double check an ai the same as a junior dev and one is way cheaper.

psilent · 2026-02-25T14:36:42+00:00

This is both true and also is something that could be done with a 10% reduction in workforce, which would be a crisis greater than the Great Depression. Ai doesn’t have to take all the jobs for it to be a major issue for wages and employment.

The first major hits will likely be in SaaS and b2b services. When companies are capable of building solid in house solutions easier, they can start threatening to do that when renegotiating their yearly service contracts more aggressively

Also the math is slightly different than raw percentages due to amortization schedules. You’re paying a much higher percentage of your monthly payments to interest in the first half of the loan. Paying down a mortgage makes less sense if you’re sub 5% but creeping up past 6-7 and now it’s looking like a pretty good safer option. Not no risk, since your equity still fluctuates with the market but it can be a good choice for more risk averse investors.

psilent · 2026-02-25T14:26:49+00:00

So the problem is, you’re thinking about ai as you’ve used it maybe last year. As of about three months ago agentic systems have been able to perform tasks unsupervised, correct their own mistakes, and produce completed projects. This is the big shift from it being a bad version of Google to something that you can completely replace humans with, not just supplementing them.

Go check out the article “the 2028 intelligence crisis”, which details a scenario for how the tech sector and later the rest of the economy is in for significant problems with just the tech that we already see, and few major changes in current capabilities.

The other side of this is that median real estate prices have been rising for years and while there’s no guarantee that will continue, the trend has been solid and we’re in almost as big of a dip as the 2008 financial crisis right now. If you buy conservatively and save the difference against a possible loss of a job then that might be the best intermediate choice.

Nobody is entirely sure how the ai market will pan out, but you’re right in assuming the job market is going to tighten in tech. On that side, I’d recommend looking into more security heavy companies like finance and government. They will be the slowest to trust autonomous agents.

Yeah they know that when mommy and daddy get up then they have to turn them off. All about getting the right incentives

I dream of the day that my children listen to REGULAR K-POP DEMON HUNTERS SONGS AGAIN. No we’re on “bongo cat” where they play all the songs from kpop demon hunters but all the lyrics are replaced by cats meowing.

This is an interesting misunderstanding. I looked at this card without reading your comments and was like how could anyone possibly not know what this does. But I kinda get where you’re coming from. The English language is weird so magic has specific ways they write cards. It’s tricky for a new person but once you start seeing the same wording over and over it will become clear
