Strava wants my birthdate now … like wtf …

When I got this house, all my appliances were Samsung. It’s been five years. None of my appliances are Samsung.

Remember how they kept saying their victims of woke being taught in schools?

I hate them.

is the plate microwave safe?

It’s a shame for me because I got jobs from STEM but I didn’t make bank like my peers and then invest in real estate to strangle hard working people. I just made enough to barely make my payments and I genuinely love it but AI has sapped so much of my joy.

I was like, would anyone in the company at least want to hear about how bundlers work at a brown bag talk and why we use them for server side and client side and all that? and everyone was like, no … AI can do that. I was like, fine …

I’d go further, I think in an ideal world all the countries of the world would be funding these projects and holding these huge tech companies to task.

I don’t even plan to live that long but if I did I’d be blessed to look that good.

“AI artists” 😂

You should see the interviews with some of these guys afterwards. They were saying how they hated how people saw them on the internet and assumed they were terrible people without knowing them. Yes, the racists were upset about being pre-judged.

I’m an 80s kid (so barely Gen X) but I did miss a lot of movies … didn’t have the ability to see whatever movie I wanted at my age. However, there’s been so many references to these “formative” movies I’ve noticed throughout the decades … so recently, I don’t know what’s wrong with me but instead of going through a lot of the soulness Netflix movies (yes, I know there are a LOT of gems too) … what I’ve decided to do is watch a lot of these classics and then I watch YouTube analysis/review videos of them. So even though I may not get to see people talk about the impact it had on them.

You just listed St Elmo’s Fire so I may have to add that to my list.

Okay, I don’t know if it sounds bad but I saw the Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (2009) with John Travolta and Denzel Washington. I can’t say I enjoyed it but I didn’t dislike it either.

I actually didn’t know there was a 1970s version. It’s definitely on my list! Thanks!

Thanks for your insight. I watched Ghost In The Shell this year as a part of my blast of the past viewings. I felt if I watched it closer to when it came out I would have had my mind blown. Now, I’m still impressed with what they came out with but I definitely can’t appreciate it in the same way.

I’ve also noticed how some older movies can feel quite sexist or abusive towards women. However I still like watching them regardless. I still like seeing what the zeitgeist was at the time. I think Breakfast Club has a lot of pop culture references to it as well and I enjoy catching up on those (albeit decades late). There’s so many movies that pierce the cultural barrier lately (or it could be my lack of keeping up) so I enjoy seeing it. So I’ll keep what you said in mind! 🫡

I’ve never seen the Breakfast Club. I went through some oldies recently like: Cape Fear, Chinatown, The Thing, Primal Fear, Airplane …

Anyone that’s seen it, can you tell me if it’s still worth catching up?

[edit] lol why the downvote … I’ve expressed no opinions? [/edit]

Uniqlo?

“if we paid for every piece of data then we can’t have LLMs!”

“they’ve paid for their LLM usage but doing it in a way I don’t like!”

“and that’s why I had him killed”

seriously though, I don’t really feel sorry for people like him … could have been a million different ways you could have had affairs or did whatever but you had to go through Epstein …

Hey Mickey! 👏👏

Apparently it’s not when the president’s family has a stake in these companies.

One.

He’ll hire one of his crooked cronies to paint the wall a different colour for a shit load of tax payer dollars and tell you that fixes the light and then blame the Dems for not changing it when it was working.
