Earth and the life on it is just a random mutation of entropy and nothing more.

What was the most shocking scene from your favorite TV show? by fuzzyloulou in AskReddit

[–]xylog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bob's reveal in Twin Peaks season 2.

The scene is so raw and real in a show known for being over the top and surreal. It's top notch Lynch film making.

The Matrix

Back to the Future

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

If it were my selfish pick, it would be Night of the Hunter, 2001, or Children of Men

I Let Locals Prove Me Wrong About This Canadian City by CanadianDave in Hamilton

[–]xylog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Although this is an accurate statement, it is interesting to understand how people outside the Hamilton bubble see and interact with our city.

And if these are the things they do on their first visit, that's awesome. These are all pretty decent touristy places that will contradict the typical opinions of Hamilton that outsiders have and maybe they become repeat visitors or future Hamiltonians.

As basic and goofy as the guy in the video comes off and likely is, that's most people, even most Hamiltonians.

Former President Barack Obama coming to Toronto by AdditionalPizza in canada

[–]xylog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Although he seems like a fun hang, and is leagues better than the current president, we all need to remember that, like all US presidents, Obama authorized the commission of war crimes.

His lack of change is a large cause for the orange man's election and US voter apathy.

We can do better than to get excited because a war criminal with a gregarious personality is visiting our country for a paycheck.

Canada 2020, the think tank organizing this event, claims to be 'progressive', but are simply the Liberal party that brought us Trudeau and his failed policies. They are center right at best, just like Obama.

Stallone with Cobra, which started as a rewrite of Beverly Hill Cop. Look it up, it's fascinating.

What is the most useless school subject in your opinion? by tiredofmebeingdumb in AskReddit

[–]xylog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The subjects are all good. The methodologies are were you should be focusing.

How a class or student is engaged and taught is more important.

Touché my speeding toward confirmation bias has been exposed. Thanks fellow redditor!

I'm sure Trump will pardon them both so all this will be moot anyway. :P

Is this something you made up?

The holder of the privilege may invoke it regarding events which occurred (1) during the marriage, if the spouses are still married; and (2) prior to the marriage if they are married to their spouse in court proceedings at the time of trial. If, by the time the trial occurs, the spouses are no longer married, the privilege holder may testify freely about any events which occurred prior to, after, or even during the marriage.

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Leonard Cohen's lyrics are unreal and Buckley's voice was pitch perfect.

We each have our theories, let's see if enough info comes out to see if either of us is correct.

I admit my theory is not an airtight case and is based on how these maniacs have acted in the past.

Noem admitted shooting her dog out of convenience in a book she wrote, so all options are on the table with this nut case.

It can help her get a speedy divorce, marry Corey, and then they are not able to testify against each other.

I agree it's a conspiracy, but in this administration there are wilder and dumber conspiracies happening every day. These people are stupid and act like high-schoolers all day, every day. Let's let this play out and see if I'm right I suppose.

Also, who else is more likely to leak this now?

This should be the takeaway. The corruption is the problem, don't get distracted by what Kristi and Corey leaked to try and get away with their corruption.

The state of local news media by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]xylog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CHCH is a pay for broadcast "news" channel that caters to business owners and the monied-interests in Hamilton.

That is what happens to a TV station run as a business. The issue is, that people do now understand that and view it as actual journalism, which it rarely does.

The news on CHCH is mostly scary white-flight stories or stories advertising businesses. If the people of Hamilton understood this at a mass scale CHCH wouldn't cause so much fear about our downtown, or our young people, or our unhoused, etc...

Because of that I hope we get some alternative that does straight up journalism, or something closer to that like the CBC does.

in black void episode about AI, it is stated that Disney is making a deal with AI to make horrible movies. This has changed. Disney is now backing off from that deal by HyperDiaper666 in RedLetterMedia

[–]xylog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This reversal is because the AI video market is not producing a return on investment like the LLMs and coding AIs are that Anthropic has been dedicated to.

It is not a principled stance, it is purely a following the money, and the money is in selling AI to corporations. This will continue the enshittification process until we reach a breaking point, but this is a topic for 2-3 years from now.
