Still haven’t watches the last season… I don’t see the point now.

Ugly Americans.

I thought the show ended with the movie and it wrapped things up?

Cloud people, mole people, Ted Cruz

The problem is everyone is “disgustingly educated”

Just because they’re part of the server doesn’t mean they knew it was there.

Shout-out to my man Sam.
I know a lot of people here hate him for his political takes, but his meditation app can be divorced from his podcast career. His science based approach to meditation, with no spiritual conflation is so refreshing.
I’ve had so many life changing realizations about my own mind thanks to him. His efforts to emphasise the outcomes of compassion and stoicism in the face of hostility have changed my outlook on engaging with abrasive people, and is one of the most important lessons I’ve learnt in a long time.
Furthermore, the realization that free will is an illusion helps to change how you view people who annoy you. They’re victims of their own minds, and slaves to every prior cause in their life. Forgiveness and tolerance are both rational, and impossible perspectives to deny, once you can see it clearly.

I guess its personal preference, it’s like eating food with a lot of spice. Some people enjoy the stress it brings.
- Comment on What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good? 2 weeks ago:
That’s the point… We’re watching the spiral of a gambling addict. Its pure anxiety, and it’s done so well.
- Comment on What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good? 2 weeks ago:
Zoolander?
- Comment on Anon judges books by their covers 2 weeks ago:
With exposure to neurodivergent posts online, it became apparent to me that even interacting with people is an unreliable way of discerning someone’s character.
Some people are highly anxious, which can manifest in all sorts of ways, from seeming like an asshole, to being erratic and sketchy.
I’m sure we’ve all had situations where we said something, later realizing how it could be misconstrued.
Then we’ve got people with autism, schizophrenia, ADHD, depression, etc.
And that’s without mentioning the personal circumstances of the day, week or month.
Just don’t judge people if it’s unlikely to cost you anything.
Choose compassion, patience and respect. You will never know the plight of a stranger.

My Dad showed me the Avatar game on PS4. The default settings have EXTREME motion blur, just by turning the camera; the world becomes a mess of indecipherable colors, it’s sickening.
Turning it off changed the game completely.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I get it, I’m just saying it’s unnecessary. If I need to see what’s going on in the background, then my eyes should be able to focus on it.
There are very few scenarios where DoF would be appropriate (like playing a character who lost their glasses).
Like chromatic aberration, which feels appropriate for Cyberpunk, since the main character gets eye implants and fits the cyberpunk theme.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but you still get the blurry effect outside of the spot on the screen you’re focused on.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 2 weeks ago:
It’s like motion blur. Your eyes already do that, you don’t need it to be simulated…
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 2 weeks ago:
Depth of field is basically how your characters eyes are unfocused on everything they aren’t directly looking at.
If there are two boxes, 20 meters apart, one of them will be blurry, while aiming at the other.

Tumbler has one of the worst comment layouts…
- Comment on Which movie do you feel has the most wasted potential? 3 weeks ago:
I actually encourage a watch of the fourth film, but not as a Matrix movie.
Lana Wachowski took her beloved franchise, executed it, pissed on its corpse, and left it unburied.
The film explicitly states that Warner Bros threatened to make it without her, so she decided to produce it in a way that would guarantee fans ignored it, and the franchise would be definitively concluded.
The entire movie is a “fuck you for making me do this” and I applaud it for that. It’s such a shit film, but I need to give it credit for its stance.

Phil Conners shoes are fine too
- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 3 weeks ago:
That was dialogue our written into the movie which was scrapped before the movie was released, which could be interpreted as hyperbolic, since the director stated it was 10 years, then 30-40 years.
- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 3 weeks ago:
Then, to break the curse you’ll need to find Rita, and make her love you.
- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 3 weeks ago:
I’m more concerned about the implication of never breaking the curse.
Would failing to break the curse mean the universe fails to continue?
You would be responsible for the end of time, if so.
- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 3 weeks ago:
Assuming you can figure out how to break the curse.

Microsoft Clippy materializes as your permanent sidekick. You cannot close Clippy.
“Looks like you’re jacking off again, would you like help with that?”
“Looks like you’re thinking about your ex again, would you like to stage a home invasion?”
“All women hate you, the logical conclusion is that modern day feminism is at fault, would you like directions to the nearest KKK rally?”
- Comment on Would you rather be trapped in Groundhog Day or the Truman show? 3 weeks ago:
Assuming I wake up in Phil Collins shoes…
If I’m unaware that I’m the main character, then Truman Show.
If I am aware that I’m the MC, but I’m stuck in the loop for more than 5 years, then Truman Show.
If I’m aware that I’m the MC, but unaware there’s a condition to break the Groundhog curse, than Truman Show.
Though…
If the day involves me waking up in MY bed tomorrow, without knowing there’s a condition to break the curse, then I’m fine with not breaking the curse. I’d actually be pretty pissed off if I broke the curse accidentally.

I’ll tell you what’s definitely unsettling;
The fact that if you kiss a mirror, you’ll only ever kiss yourself on the lips.

There are different types of intelligence tests, sure. What I was talking about was IQ tests.
But yes, I do hate intelligence tests, they have a long history of reinforcing systemic racism.
- Comment on smort 4 weeks ago:
Mensa has long been the benchmark for high IQ societies.
Go take their sample IQ test. It is only pattern recognition.
Unfortunately this is the norm.
- Comment on smort 4 weeks ago:
IQ tests are interesting, because they’re mainly a test of pattern recognition.
However, knowing how the patterns are formed, can easily net you +10 points on an IQ test.
It’s a shit way to determine “intelligence”.
Some people might score highly, but are socially inept and unmotivated, meaning they have a lot of raw power, without having the mental capability to channel it productively, which is pretty fucking stupid.
Then you get people like Musk and Trump, who are both highly motivated people, despite being dumb as rocks. Yet, our geniuses can’t figure out how to mitigate their stupidity.
- Comment on smort 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, there are a lot of low IQ dickhead out there, must be genetic or something. ::: spoiler spoiler /s :::
