How many of you have received these calls? I got a ton of them along with my husband and siblings.

I’m so tired of the constant attacks by these losers. Someone needs to shut them down.

While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.

Basically, a website can block you or treat you suspiciously based on whether or not this “feature” says that your computer or browser is approved and unmodified.

This can become a problem as more sites adopt this. You can be using a 2 year old device and suddenly your bank stops working because your device no longer shows up as approved. It can be used to artificially enforce obsolescence. The fix would be to buy a new device.

You could be using Linux or a 3rd party browser and many websites will become unavailable to you because they can never show up as approved and unmodified. It basically breaks the open web.

I never had that problem. In general, I don’t worry about sharting. I would see a doctor about it if I were you.

I would never buy from them anymore. I am fairly certain that explains why I could not access my games from years ago.

It’s a fox site. The comments on those sites were always akin to sewer water. Also the ads are cringe inducing.

The best part of this is that the AI could not come up with original content. All it can do is repeat what humans already output. I would say games journalism is safe from an AI takeover. Now we just need to get rid of the bot spam.

Isn’t this what /u/spez was also concerned about? AI mining Reddit for content?

Yeah, AI is killing tons of jobs, but there is no reason to let it without a fight.

It’s up to you to give your life meaning. Just because things suck, doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the towel. Imagine the Bronze Age humans, who were getting killed over idols and and some random warlord’s whims. They persisted in the face of adversity so we exist today. Imagine the lives of the enslaved, raped, and oppressed native Americans and Africans in the face of Spanish rule in South America. They persisted with no clear future freedom in sight.

I could go on about humans facing horrible situations but my point is this: throughout history we have always faced a dark situation as a result of other human actions but we always found a reason to persist… or even fight back.

You can definitely tell the writing was AI. The characters spoke like they are in an infomercial. I couldn’t watch the whole thing.

Left from pocket. Wallet goes in right pocket with keys.

It looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully, the combat is very polished because that would really make this game shine.

One of these days he is going to hit something during one of his little tirades. Reminds me of a kid who needs attention every few months.

Smart phones. Not even Star Trek could predict we would all be walking around with a slab of glass that is exponentially more powerful than computers that took up entire rooms, can communicate with others sub-second via voice, images, video, or text, can access the sum total of public human knowledge at the blink of an eye, and can guide you to any location with a map for everywhere you want to go. It’s really powerful stuff and it’s in everyone’s hands.

New York Post says the police are investigating it as a possible drug overdose.

The teen’s lifeless body was sitting in a chair next to a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, unidentified pills, and drug paraphernalia, the sources said.

I am horrible with directions. I keep my Google Maps going when I drive for that very reason. In games, I just use the built-in map. If there is no map and the world is not made of unique geometries and settings then I am out. I will have no way to navigate.

:q!

I think the problem isn’t the quality of movies. After all, we have had some really good ones with some that did well (including 2 Marvel ones) like Guardians 3, the Spider-verse movie, Super Mario, Avatar, Dungeons & Dragons, etc…

The problem is that nobody wants to go to the movies anymore. It’s as simple as that. The theater has lost its audience now that streaming is mainstream. Why pay for a $8 coke and $10 popcorn when I have my whole home kitchen available?

Also, even streaming is seeing its audience’s time grabbed away by other things. In my house, making time away from video games, YouTube, and online socializing to watch a 2 hour movie isn’t always easy. Folks have to put away their hobbies and normal entertainment for a passive experience. It’s not always an easy sell.

So no, I don’t think something is wrong with the movies that are coming out. I don’t think an increase in quality will help. I think they should aim for streaming more and away from theaters.
