I think the era of the influential movie star may be over.
It's become more and more apparent that the only reason we think highly of any of these people is that they pretend to be virtuous people on the silver screen, and the moment that they don't have a script in front of them, that virtue falls away and all we are left with is someone who has spent their entire lives focusing on exactly one skill that has absolutely nothing to do with whatever they are talking about today.

Not to mention a wide variety of devices and platforms that make use of the Linux kernel but are not remotely what you might expect from a free software kernel -- everything from Android to smart televisions to cameras to light bulbs.
Ironically, proportionately speaking there's probably more locked down Linux devices than there are locked down Windows devices.

"what young people are protesting over because they're being paid to"
I came up with a great solution in the shower. You know, some of the things coming out of Israel are just terrible. Stop sending American dollars to Israel. But you know, some of the things coming out of Palestine are just terrible. Stop sending American dollars to Palestine. Hey, while you're at it, hearing some terrible things out of ukraine. Stop sending American dollars to Ukraine. Oh hell, while you're at it why not just stop sending American dollars anywhere that isn't America?
One of the reasons that the United States became a superpower is that they stayed out of the Europeans and the Asians dumb conflicts. Then they ended up not bombed whereas the rest of the Earth was bombed and that worked out very well for them.

Kind of reminds me of when Linus on LTT was about to break his Linux install and it told him he was about to break his Linux install and he had to write "yes, I understand what I'm about to do this will break my Linux install" and he complained that he had to write that all out to break his Linux install and then his Linux install broke and he was all surprisedpikachu.jpg
Problem with the phrase is that "vaccines are being used to inject ultra high technology microscopic microchips" is held to the same standard as "vaccines that were put to market without fully testing under a program that specifically put them to market without fully testing them could be dangerous, and the people who disagree the most were saying they were probably dangerous until a Republican stopped being president"
On a lark I checked out who published the Mark Twain anthology I've got on my desk right now, and honestly I don't even recognise the parent company.
(I guess though the service they're providing isn't the book or even the printing, it's putting it together in a suitably pretentious package - and that isn't a criticism, that's the reason I bought it)

Torn between Bulfinch's mythology and The Hobbit next. Leaning towards the latter, since Tolkien has a reputation as a great English writer, and it has a reputation as a classic piece of modern English literature.
I was listening to a representative who had a show talking about how you get up there, and instead of representing the people who voted for you, you're expected to vote the way some expert in the capitol says you should vote.
But the capitol has its representatives. Let them vote the way the experts in the capitol say to!

I recall it was some absurd number, like half of books struggled to get more than 12 sales. I got more than 12 sales, and I'm just some shitposter on the Internet!
Something I realized listening to music with my son is that high fidelity music has existed for about 80 years, so any new musician needs to compete with the greatest music produced by all of human civilization in 80 years.
What's easier at that point, especially given the fact they're going to keep getting a revenue drip from a lot of artists who have been dead longer than any of us have been alive? Finding the next Jimi Hendrix, or finding some dumb ho to mumble about her "wet ass pussy"?

Honestly, typically I'm pretty much entirely opposed to Central planning, but when you're dealing with a public good like electricity I can tolerate it, but it needs to stay a public good. At the end of the day all of the stuff that needs to get done in order to produce the levels of electricity required to keep rates low he's probably going to need enough Capital that very few private sector players are going to invest that, especially when they can make way more money by making less power and charging more for it.
It's like, all right -- use taxpayer money to fund the creation of a public good and keep it a public good. Fine. But "Deregulation" meaning selling off that asset the private sector didn't build and wouldn't build is just wholesale corruption and theft.

It appeals to my inner grade 4 student who probably would have drawn something very similar in my notebook while I'm bored in class.

Gotta admit, seeing the cyber truck, there's a lot of things I absolutely hate about it.
Buttons on the steering wheel for turn signals, and having to use the touch screen to put it in gear? Yuck.

Even up here, the Conservatives are on track to get a huge majority. I think last I saw 224 seats projected of 342 (with the balance held by 4 other parties), it's gonna be a pantsing, because I don't think they're done losing seats yet.
The only place I'm not hearing about this is the UK, because the conservatives have been in power forever there but have consistently failed to be conservative.

To amplify what you're saying, this is a research professor at a Canadian university who made comments about mRNA vaccines was fired just this year.

So stories like this are coming out, and yet people keep saying smug and stupid things like "if any experts thought there was a problem they'd publish and be rewarded!"
A large number of doctors and professors and media people have lost their careers -- not just their jobs but their careers -- because they spoke out against the establishment narrative. The idea that you can trust a system that potentially May reward you for lying and punish you for telling the truth, that is actively rooting out anyone who dissents, that's just absurd. People who used to be skeptical and would need compelling evidence have shut off their brains...

"hello you absolute Legends. IQ tests are a long and complicated test intended to test your intelligence, some people took this as a challenge. Today we're going to talk about the IQ test any % speed run. Some people have taken the IQ test over 10,000 times to achieve some of the records that will be talking about today."
