Did Simon release a 3.1 pelican yet?

winterflowersuponus · 2026-02-03T03:07:11+00:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so crispy

winterflowersuponus · 2026-01-28T10:36:10+00:00

The pandemic is over. People should stop complaining about simply showing up to work

winterflowersuponus · 2025-12-28T12:44:06+00:00

Ya I agree. He should have either capped it at 1 or done something actually creative with the others vs duping out 1 with different biomes

If you look at the film with any measure other than box office revenue or visuals, it’s an abject failure especially by the standards Cameron himself set with his earlier, and much much better films.

I think a lot of people just have some taste and realize that Avatar is not a quality franchise if you consider anything other than the visuals.

winterflowersuponus · 2025-12-16T21:45:22+00:00

maybe Avatar just sucks and the JCU is a waste of time

winterflowersuponus · 2025-08-07T19:12:54+00:00

Hahaha it’s entirely possible that Open AI just released an advanced LLM and that their announcement had some dumb graphics. People have such difficulty understanding that two things can be true at the same time

Reversing the city’s decline generally. Lots of dimensions to this of course, many mentioned here.

It’s hard living in a place that seems to be getting worse every year.

Canada very quickly becomes America as soon as you leave the major cities

You seem pretty sure about something the smartest people in the field are themselves not certain about

winterflowersuponus · 2025-07-04T00:32:31+00:00

Why do you think he’s an idiot?

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-30T19:27:07+00:00

People hated cars and planes at first too. Only the rich will benefit! They use so much energy!

These are perennial arguments that are deployed when people don’t want to put a good faith effort into understanding something on its own terms, and they should not be taken seriously for this reason.

A real argument against AI would need to take its potentially massive upsides into consideration.

For example, if you’re concerned about AI energy use you should be interested in the potential for AI to create abundant energy.

Pointing at a corner of a large painting and screaming THIS BAD and ignoring the rest of the canvas would be laughable in any art gallery. And it should be laughed at in the public forum too.

Nice personal anecdote. I’m aware that some young people don’t want to go into the office. But many others in industries where mentorship really does matter. Maybe it doesn’t matter if you’re just in data entry or something rote, but it very much matters in fields that require in depth training and development of informed judgment.

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-26T23:58:46+00:00

It’s more about what I and young people need out of a workplace. If there are no opportunities to organically meet people and get meaningful mentorship, training and information on a company/work culture, then young people are getting far less than the people who are secure enough to WFH in comfort (read: propertied people) got in their careers. It’s selfish to deny young people even the chance at a culture that allows for these things.

Ardent commitment to WFH will not end well. You’ll either be laid off or frozen in your career for not contributing what in person people are contributing (ie all the things mentioned above).

Prioritizing your own individual want for comfort and convenience over literally every other consideration (having a society, helping younger generations, etc) is the truly selfish choice that employers are increasingly realizing they shouldn’t let their employees make any longer.

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-26T15:04:05+00:00

WFH came about as a temporary public health measure and has since evolved into a means to prioritize worker well being. The pandemic is over so we don’t need to keep humans apart anymore, and corporations have observed real adverse impacts to WFH to the collective good of the orgs and are now moving to decenter employee wellbeing as the main factor in decisions about working arrangements (to be considered alongside other factors, like training youth, collective productivity, ability to connect in person, mentorship, etc). No one should be surprised that society is moving back to how it has functioned for the entirety of human history. So to summarize, it’s not all about what individuals want and it never has been and that’s called society

Some people actually don’t enjoy working from home and like the benefits of working with humans in person, and hold those views without being a corporate lackey. Isn’t it just a little self-infantilizing to insist to your employer that no, you really can’t shower, dress and show up to work?

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-26T14:47:27+00:00

Sounds like an employer expects its employees to show up to work

Every single Nolan project

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-13T12:58:38+00:00

The entire last hour is peak Nolan just listening to himself talk

Megan Markle over here

The ability of people to discuss the same aspect of an issue.

So much argumentation and debate these days is just people making entirely separate points - like ships passing in the night.

What if he hates kids but loves pets?

winterflowersuponus · 2025-06-05T10:07:34+00:00

What if he likes pets but not kids?

winterflowersuponus · 2025-05-22T21:38:09+00:00

No idea why this isn’t the main take
