That movies was so good. I was a teenager with testosterone levels pushing towards psychopathy. I thought he was the hero of the story even after it was over. My mom (I guess correctly) thought he was the bad guy.

My cousins and I still quote that movie a lot, though its even less PC now than it was back then. "Now THESE are Vietnam Jungle Boots! They're great for..." Back in the day we would scream that shit at each other, now I'd cringe so hard I'd probably pull a stomach muscle.

People are going to freak out when AI starts contacting them out of the blue.

I tried to explain this to my wife. I can walk for long periods with no issue. But shopping? Amusement Parks? That shit is not walking, its trudging and it plays completely different with my energy levels.

Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I've only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

TIL that Sicilian is a language that is separate from Italian?

Welp this did it. I'm going to need you to go turn in your Arab card down at the Department of Arabic and Islamic Civilizations. Otherwise we're gonna have to send Akbar and Ahmed over.

I wonder what the timeline is before the inevitable selling of data results in users getting doxxed.

Gavin newsome: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

He said years ago that the homeless issue was his number one problem, and its gotten worse and worse in CA. It's up like 70% in Sacramento, which is his backyard. We can do better than that, I know we can.

It’s the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. Trump is being ungracious by continuing to post about how horrible Biden has been (in his opinion). Its very un-presidential on Trump's part, and shows the real lack of class that he is well known for. This is the kind of thing that pushes people in the middle one way or the other. It also demonstrates that he has trouble keeping his mouth shut even when he know that running his mouth is going to hurt him.

IPO was it for me as well. Once something goes public, the enshitification begins in earnest. Reddit users better be ready for their user data to be sold by the board, there will be more ads than ever, and I'm predicting people will start getting doxxed in about 2-3 years. Never mind the fact that AI is already making the lion's share of the posts to farm karma for reasons that I don't even understand.

This video is a year old, they've made a lot of progress since then.

So am I to take it from your inference that the Russian Lemmy site is called Lemmygrad?

In my teens I watched NBA basketball religiously.

In my twenties I was a huge MLB fan.

In my 30s I watched the NFL every weekend.

In my 40s I have athletics daughters and I watch them play and I also watch women's soccer.

Does it help that the US women are a dominant force in the international area whereas the men are just "no longer a joke".

Yes, yes it does.

When my highschooler was younger we'd go watch the Washington Spirit at the Soccerplex in Germantown.

It sat about 4,000.

This summer I travelled back to the US and caught a Spirit game in the new stadium in Baltimore. Holy shit what a big difference.

The crowd now had 19,000 in attendance.

There is an old army manual that says if you are ever forced to work for the enemy, try to push as many things as possible into committee decisions, because it looks like its helping, but also slows everything down to a crawl/halt.

The DC Mayor position is so corrupt usually. Anyone old enough to remember Marion Barry? I don't know who it is now but last time I lived in DC the mayor was Vincent Gray and he even looked corrupt. He looks like Snidley Whiplash and Joe Jackson (Michael's dad) had a baby.

Was the first one any good? I've played a couple of 40k games that were meh. I like the lore, but the story and gameplay have to be up to par also.
