Its very cyberpunk for sure! I think it was Cyberpunk Edgerunners where in the background of many street scenes there’s folks just zonked out on the street with little fap machines going nuts on their junk while the world passes them by, completely oblivious to everything

I mean people usually suck at naming roads. Water St is often where the water tower is, Railroad St runs parallel to the railroad, Fish Hatchery Road is where the fish hatchery is, and then there’s the tons of roads named after specific families who lived on the land they run through. Granted it’s way less dark than the countless cities that are named after the people/natural features that were killed when founding the cities. So many places are named after who and what was once there…

This one’s a little real for any fellow Americans who are self-employed (or have mucked up their taxes and owe a bunch)

Having worked at a bank, everything is PDF files. All the billions of dollars in loans, assets, and accounts etc. it’s all PDF files of agreements and terms. The entire finance industry would be heavily destabilized if the industry somehow rug pulled them on PDFs

Why is my PDF file booting the Linux kernel?
- Comment on Save as PDF 1 week ago:
The best part is Word for example now by default just outputs a PDF file if you tell it to export an XPS file, which gets extra funny if you have a licensed version of Acrobat installed because Acrobat installs an extension to also export as a PDF except it works worse!

You don’t have to be a little person to weigh 123lbs, just skinny. I’m average height and have always been super boney and the only way I’ve ever been able to gain weight was by working out. I weighed about 125ish almost my entire adult life, and only in the last couple of years as I became able to bike 100 miles a week did I squeak past 130

With halfway decent management Sears was in a good position to continue holding a massive and controlling portion of the American household market, the problem is they had inept owners managing the company who managed to snatch bankruptcy from the jaws of success
It doesn’t help that it was owned by a hedge fund that made bank on Sears’ demise such as by saddling Sears with a ton of debt, 40% of which was owned by Sears’ parent company
- Comment on Work smarter, not harder 2 weeks ago:
I mean the mismanagement didn’t help at all. Forcing different departments to compete with each other, some departments spinning up redundant support teams that were exclusive to their department, etc.

There’s still a handful of franchises which retained the naming rights post-bankruptcy too!

- Comment on ai generated logo 4 weeks ago:
This is always the part that blows my mind, they can’t just crack open an image editor to move the project over the finishline? Seriously if you’re already 90% of the way there with an AI generated image, just pop open GIMP or paint.net or whatever and make those couple of tweaks. Or, y’know hire an artist and say “here I like this logo I generated with AI, can you do something like this but better?”

One only needs to watch John McAfee’s uninstalling McAfee Antivirus video (NSFW) to realize how much of a legend he was.
LGR did a wonderful retrospective when he announced his candidacy for US president. Dude seriously lived life to its fullest and made tons of questionable decisions
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 5 weeks ago:
People don’t remember how he flat out campaigned on some policies that were to the left of Hilary. They don’t remember his charisma in the Republican debates, the way he expertly worked crowds back in 2015-16. They ask have forgotten about how he said he’ll “drain the swamp” and that he was “self funding his campaign” so he “wouldn’t be beholden to any other interests”
Turns out he was just a sad wannabe dictator who can’t even manage to control a Latin American nation with the full force of the US Military, let alone establish himself as emperor over the 'states

For me it was shoving a bunch of Teslas in a hole in Las Vegas and calling it a “hyperloop”
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 5 weeks ago:
I really appreciated him around that same era, as he seemed to be the only rich person actually showing any real care or action to try to do something about climate change. Up until him every rich person and every politician seemed to be actively dismissing climate change as a concern. It feels like around 10 years ago was when political discourse finally stopped trying to argue whether or not climate change is real and instead shifted to trying to argue that any actions to prevent climate change were unrealistic or futile
Remember, Musk was building up an electric car company, a home battery company and a solar roofing company through the 2010s. Plus he was pushing for cool space stuff. We were going to have a colony on mars by 2020! Incredible!
It was the whole hyperloop thing that killed it for me. It quickly became apparent as his Las Vegas “hyperloop” was just Teslas in a tunnel that he was full of shit and it put his other lies and half-truths into perspective. Honestly his antics over the last couple of years have killed my interest in space flight. I fucking loved watching rocket launch live streams. I stayed up until 2am to watch the Artemis launch. And now I just can’t bring myself to get excited.
I appreciate that he brought Tesla to profitability and Tesla proved to other automakers and consumers that electric cars are viable and cool. I appreciate that SpaceX has completely changed the rocket industry for the better and now every rocket program worth it’s salt in the world is trying to replicate the Falcon 9 rocket boosters. But that’s all I’ll give him. He didn’t do the work, he just funded it, and I appreciate that he did fund it when nobody else would but that’s it.

The reason there’s no public list is the MPAA literally has a secret team called CARA (Classification and Rating Administration) who review works and assign ratings to them. The members of the CARA team are kept secret to prevent studios from bribing or otherwise influencing the panel members. CARA members are generally given a ton of leeway to assign ratings as they see fit, so while there might be a general practice of one swear word in a PG-13 film for example, this isn’t a hard rule. There’s also notable examples of CARA assigning ratings that were unexpected

I swear I remember pausing it to go “did he really just say that?!” But rewatching the pictured scene in S2E19 he’s speaking with Aang who would not be a worthy recipient of such a burn, and he doesn’t say such a thing to Zuko in that episode

Ah … ! What’s happening? it thought. Er, excuse me, who am I? Hello? Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Calm down, get a grip now … oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It’s a sort of … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach. Good. Ooooh, it’s getting quite strong. And hey, what’s about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that … wind! Is that a good name? It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on. Now – have I built up any coherent picture of things yet? No. Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation … Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now isn’t it? And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

I mean that’s kinda been his schtick is being the “conservative boy genius” except he’s pushing like 40 now so he’s been shifting his style before he completely outgrows his old style. Letting some stubble grow, wearing leather jackets, and generally hitting that “divorced dad trying to look cool but not too much y’know” look
