Is there any evidence of American rat-fuckery in the Bolivian coup attempt?
There is a concept in post-modern philosophy called “hauntology”. This theory posits that late-capitalist societies loose their ability to imagine different social orders; and cannot imagine the future except as high-tech versions of the current social order. To fill the void of novelty, the culture industry must constantly recycle and repackage old culture.
Anyway, this isn’t a new phenomena, just a technology enabling us to resurrect live people instead of just fictional characters.
The funniest thing about the Cybertruck is the windshield wiper. Not only does it ruin the science fiction ascetic by breaking up the flat surfaces, it breaks up the primary surface with a dumb squeegee arm. It’s also a little reminder that not only were the first wipers invented in 1903, but that they were fitted to electric vehicles.
I think they used one huge wiper in an attempt to make it look innovative by just by virtue of being unusual.
REMEMBER: If you have to have sex with you boss for advancement, that doesn’t make you a slut, that makes them a sex-offender.
“career advancement” is euphemism designed to switch the power dynamic.
I read the other day that Kim Gordon was 70 and my soul did that Private Ryan meme.
DAE remember that the OceanGate CEO bragged that Boeing helped them manufacture the sub?
At the time Boeing disavowed, but who you gonna believe?
Currently it seems that there is a negative correlation in some places between intellectual achievement and fertility
It’s ironic because the more people who accept the plot of ‘Idiocracy’ (2006) as plausible or scientific is evidence that humanity is getting stupider.
This is a bad take. Software updates that fix life threatening defects are as serious as any recall.
It’s motivated reasoning. Either the people making this argument are Tesla owners, simps, or shareholders and are trying to protect the phantasmagorical value of the company.
Saying “my car’s drive-by-wire software gets more firmware updates than my printer” is not a flex.
Reading through these comments it seems that many lemmings have wildly optimistic ideals about ethics in the “true crime” genre of documentaries.
Even for sincere documentarians, presenting unvarnished history accurately and completely is an impossibility. For the bad-faith actors, you’d be amazed at how much is outright staged or otherwise faked. The only rule is that it be entertaining.
As far as “true crime”, the question of “should we even make this” is pretty ethically fraught. True crime is cheap, popular, and stuffed to the brim with hacks and bad faith actors.
On the SNES, green blood and all.
They won’t stop doing it. Think of how many live service games have failed. Are the investors going to stop drooling over that Fortnight $$? AAA game are made to please investors, not players.
Boiling everything down to econ101 serves to absolve the bad behavior or games companies as “rational actors” while placing the blame for shitty games practices on “stupid” gamers.
I’ve been on Lemmy since June and I haven’t once seen a video of a dude punching a girl. It always made me queasy that shit was soooo popular on reddit.
People don’t make fun of starcitizen because “games journalism”. They laugh because it’s development hell is funny. Even if a satisfactory product come out the other end, it’ll still be an internet legend.
I always figured the dialogue was a lost in translation/ cultural disconnect thing. What I had a problem with was the way Liu writes women. The way Zhuang Yen comes into the story into the second book made me want to puke.
Well, I know what the next Jimquisition is going to be about.
I for one, love it that Trek took a turn toward hard-scifi when it went to the big screen.
Been using WM pickup service since the start of the pandemic. I’ve a browser that flushes cookies, so I have to sign in every time I order. They demand 2FA, but I discovered if I had $20 or $30 of groceries in my cart before I signed in, all of a sudden a password was enough.
Also the quality has gone down steadily the whole time I’ve used them. Dented cans, old eggs and wilted produce. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t buy anything fresh from them unless I can’t get it elsewhere.
Great! Time to add it to the wish list and buy it in 2027 for $30.
Do people still pirate Windows? You can download the iso directly from Microsoft’s website and you don’t need a registration key anymore.
