  How very American to worry about the nightmare you’re enduring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E.P.A. Plans to Reconsider a Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos | The Trump administration’s move sets back a decades-long effort to end the use of the material, which is widely banned in other countries.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, Trump also thinks that asbestos is perfectly safe and that the mafia has invented its negative health effects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oooh, I didn’t even know it had a sequel!

  I wouldn’t say it flirts with the supernatural as much as it’s with one foot into weird fiction, which is where cosmic horror comes from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Blindsight is such a great novel. It has not one, not two but three great sci-fi concepts rolled into one.

  One is artificial intelligence (the ship’s captain is an AI), the second is alien life so vastly different it appears incomprehensible to human minds. And last but not least, and the most wild, vampires as a evolutionary branch of humanity that died out and has been recreated in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mantis, watch out!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the mother also liquifies her own innards and regurgitates them to feed her young, dying in the process so there’s that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or a serial killer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Earth trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s in a deleted scene of the first movie and re-integrated into the director’s cut. And in the Ridley Scott made Alien movies since Prometheus there hasn’t been a single mention or glimpse of the queens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Earth trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s one egg, it’s only one chestburster and consequently one alien initially. That then has to web humans to turn them into eggs (O’Bannon/Scott canon) or turn into a queen to lay more eggs (Cameron canon).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all ever think maybe the hype around melding your body and mind with an Asari is all bs and their pussy juices are just hallucinogenic?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really like idea that they only look sexy to us the player because we’re human and that they look Turian to a Turian, Salarian to Salarians and so on because they emit something (pheromones or empathy waves) that alters the perception of other races.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Faculty, any day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Core. The perfect dumb movie that’s fun to watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna Ride This Bussy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are real bussies for not leaning into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sandman Showrunner on Decision to End Series, Neil Gaiman Factor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I will probably watch it because it’s one of my favourite comic stories adapted really well, but other than that, Gaimam will never get another cent from me.

  Same for Rowling, though that’s easier because outside of Potter she has only written utter trash (including these abominations of prequel movies).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ and ‘Citadel’ Hit Syndication for the First Time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s explained in the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, Tomb Raider. One of the most well known videogame characters is literally an ass-kicking woman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a spider in my bathroom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably didn’t drown but might have gotten infected by mold. There’s a reason spiders prefer dry places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Official poster for "Zootopia 2"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The city also seems to have grown, there were plenty of new habitats in the teaser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The kids are ready for it...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not Schadenfreude, it’s more education by fear. Make children be afraid of not following the rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[DeliberatelyBuried] Ratatouille⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact, there is almost a hundred percent chance that Demodex mites lives on the skin of your head and face at this very moment.

  The burrow into our follicles and live on the oils we excrete. They come out at night to mate. On our faces.

  They are microscopic and mostly harmless though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA employees "upset and confused" at return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As always, it’s just a sneaky way to get people to quit.

  All the data and studies on the topic point to the fact that working from home had a positive economic impact. It leads to happier, more motivated workers, which increases productivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being single⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, totally. Forgot about that possibility. My bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being single⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, a good relationship should just be your favourite person to spend time with that you also find sexually attractive (and vice versa).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too pretty to eat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much for sure. The bokeh hides the fact the bowl on the right side merges with the berry and the left one looks a bit better but still odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does Scully make an appearance as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These algae also produce biogas that can be used for heating or producing electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Let the Simpsons Die: An Open Letter to Matt Groening⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the reason he created Futurama, because he retained all the rights to it unlike the Simpsons. That’s also why FOX killed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House Tech Bros Are Killing What Made Them (and America) Wealthy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, they want to to build their techno-fascist “utopia” on the cinders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And the dragon melted the iron throne instead of the murderer of his mother because apparently it can understand metaphors or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What TV series would you call some of the earliest examples of 'prestige' TV?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say Twin Peaks. It’s a wonder that is was such a success, since it’s just such a weird, singular vision of two creative people, Mark Frost and David Lynch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The final episode of Game of Thrones.

  Feels like a “How-not-to” on good screenwriting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Carnivale. Would probably be really successful on Apple or Amazon now.
