Toy Story 5
There’s a Toy Story 5?? I haven’t even seen the third one yet. Or any of the other ones you mentioned…

In three years, 90% of animated films are going to be generic crap churned out for a quick buck.

That’s what my taxes are for. I rarely pay more than $5 for medication, if anything. I also pay significantly less in taxes than US citizens and have less potholes in the roads.
- Comment on Fear Mongering About Range Anxiety Has To Stop — CT Governor Calls Out EV Opponents 10 months ago:
Just adding to that, what required maintenance can you do on an EV?
I can take care of most of the basics like fluid and brake pad changes on my IC car. On an EV tyres are a given, but is there specialised maintenance work that I can’t do myself?

This is the answer we all needed.
- Comment on Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times 10 months ago:
I wish I could remember the origin, but I had perhaps 1 hour of contiguous sleep last night so I’m operating at 10% normal acuity.
The TL;DR was, even with adequate distribution, we would still be operating at above sustainable levels in terms of emissions.
- Comment on Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times 10 months ago:
Today, climate change is a right now problem
Only for a significant majority of humanity. And species in general. You just gotta hustle and get that bunker built and you’ll be all good. Climate change is a hoax anyway, I saw a picture once of the ocean in the 50s, and a recent picture with no reference to tides, and the water levels were the roughly the same from about 500 metres away.

Like, they used 198 lasers, or they used 98% of each of the 200 lasers?

Interested but actually not enough to be bothered checking for myself…

It’s sarcasm. I upvoted them because I would have said something similar to highlight the absurdity of any argument against defederating with Threads.
- Comment on Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy 11 months ago:
Context matters.
- Comment on Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy 11 months ago:
If you can’t tell the difference between nudity and sexual content, maybe it’s time you cut back on the jerking off.
- Comment on Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy 11 months ago:
Yes, because it was just going to turn into pornhub v2.
- Comment on Twitch immediately rescinds its artistic nudity policy 11 months ago:
Fucking on the money. (actually… literally)
There’s a big fucking difference between basic nudity and sexualized content, and I’m exhausted by people like you pretending there isn’t and that this is some sort of puritamical crusade against the bodies that we all have.
Exactly.

- Comment on Tesla recalls nearly all vehicles sold in US to fix system that monitors drivers using Autopilot 11 months ago:
I don’t think AI will ever be able to account for context; like ‘black friday sales are on and the general trend on the road is a lot of fuckery, so I’ll drive extra extra carefully today’

I, for one, have been trained by corporations and news agencies to react impulsively and without any deeper consideration for decades now.

Depending on how far away the box is, this might be the most efficient possible alternative.
If it takes you an hour to get the drive and plug it in, and the drive is 14TB, you’re looking at a download speed of 31,000 megabits per second.

That’s not good for your mental or physical health. Just share the news stories and suggest alternatives, and never give the corps any money or data if you can help it.

It’s just corps being corps. Even the guy who literally gave 10,000 people AIDS didn’t get jail time. The Dropbox execs will be lucky to get anything more severe than a bouquet and a box of chocolates. We all know that, and no amount of demanding will do jack shit. Only your wallet has a voice that gets heard.

Some hilarious highlights:
He bought stolen phone card account information from American hackers. After setting up premium toll chat lines in Hong Kong and in the Caribbean, he used a “war dialer” program to call the lines using the stolen card numbers—ringing up €61,000 in ill-gained profits.
In 1998, he was convicted of 11 counts of computer fraud, 10 counts of data espionage, and an assortment of other charges. He received a two-year suspended sentence—because, at just 20, he was declared “under age” at the time the crimes were committed.
In January 2001, LetsBuyIt was close to bankruptcy. Schmitz bought 375,000 euros in the company’s shares — and then announced he was preparing to invest an additional 50 million Euros. The news hit the market, and the stock price of LetsBuyIt surged. Schmitz cashed out, making a profit of €1.5 million.

Reductionist. He is a ‘felon’ because he hosted a service that was used heavily for piracy. Not because he was robbing banks or shooting people.
