  They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you’ll watch for 15 seconds and it’s usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

  I have absolutely no idea how this franchise went from an undercover investigation of a chop shop to driving cars into space

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basically the plot of TNG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This assumes Q was there to actually judge humanity and not begin a dialogue with Picard and the Federation. In his own omnipotent way. It’s not a judgement, it’s more of a test or like a training.

  BNL and Animorphs? What is this a crossover episode?

  You are correct, unlike my autocorrect which decided it didn’t like the word ‘post’. Edited

  Not just Mercury’s story. All those times the movie had Mercury spiraling into sex and drugs and the movie versions of May and the rest of the group were cuddling with their wives and girlfriends. You know, the way they were famous for doing.

  Started this because I didn’t see it in theatres and can’t find the og discussion thread.

  I finally watched Barbie after a full year of heavy PR campaigns to see the best movie of the year that was saving theatres and driving studios to go back to original IP for film ideas. And after all that my reaction is a solid…meh.

  It was fine. I felt other movies have done the same themes but better and more cohesively. And I’m not sure what the final message of the movie even was. It felt like there was some boardroom interference in the final product because you could see the story aiming at something, then changing course before they got to a satisfying conclusion.

  Acting and set design was good, it just overall felt like a miss that was made bigger by the giant campaign they launched to sell the movie as great.

  This behaviour isn’t because he’s famous it’s because he’s incredibly wealthy and no one has ever told him no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US to argue Google abused power to monopolize internet search as antitrust trial begins⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  DDG is my go-to, it’s normally good enough. Google used to be better at showing searches so I’d still go check out then if I couldn’t find something.

  But since their ad strategy changed to favour paid suppliers and their servers are getting switched to handle heavier computing, Google is starting to suck now. So honestly its probable that you’ll need to work harder to find what you’re looking for regardless of which engine you use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nanoparticles will change the world, but whether it's for the better depends on decisions made now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We have had this same type of decision so many times in our history. Fossil fuels, antibiotics, plastics, AI. And we always have to learn too late that there were big, avoidable mistakes.

  Might be better to just accept that and adapt to the fact that we are just horrible at making this type of choice.

  They absolutely would be profitable, it’s just that those costs would then be passed on to the consumer. People would see energy costs skyrocket to make up the difference.

  The oil companies still have a product most of the world needs and people will (and have) killed to get it. We’d rebel against a government they tried

  In order to get passed oil we need to move to alternatives like EVs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is wild to see this. It’s amazing how quickly things change.

  Yeah, Russia was incredibly powerful in its heyday, both in global influence and military power. Think about how people are worried about climate change now, then double it. That was the threat of nuclear war that kept people awake at night for decades.

  After the time of the collapse we found out how empty a lot of their power was. How much of their achievements were less an unstoppable train and more of a rocket that couldn’t be refueled. They had power but they never figured out how to make it sustainable.
