Looks like a new king of the hill this year. I'm usually pretty negative on new old shows, but this one might be fun.
I feel like if they didn't get the MMR vaccine, they're probably not going to start listening to the CDC now.
Klarna is hilarious, it's like a throwback to the late 90s where you would have a normal business but just tack on the words "on the internet"
In this case, payday loans.

I think the train company would be really mad at everyone switching their train tracks all the time. One person or five tied to the tracks it's a huge rail accident waiting to happen.
Well I don't know what Bono is doing doing concerts thing, he should really get off of his ass and go run for office using all of his millions! Since he knows better than everyone else how to do things I'm sure that he will get elected and be very effective in office!
Geez, so much for labor being the party for the poor and downtrodden. "We see you.... And we will tax you."
hoe_math has a lot of good things to say tbh, some of it based on real established psychological models such as loevingers model of ego development or spiral dynamics
Regardless, just because someone is right about some things though doesn't mean they should become your personal guru and you believe every single thing they say or believe it is all that is true.
His black pills are true and real, but there are still people who fall in love, get married, and have a good life regardless. Truly nihilistic people have faith in nothing -- not God, not love, not community, not family, and there are a lot of people today who are like that. They will be extinct in a lifetime or two, outlived by people who can have faith in something that they haven't seen yet.
It's only through faith that you can act as if life has meaning when it feels meaningless, act as if there is value when it feels valueless, act as if life has sense when it feels senseless, and for many who have faith, one day you wake up and realize your faith was well-placed.

I didn't know it was based on leaked code, oops.
But yeah, the fact that it exists is awesome.
Actually really amazing seeing the golden age of source ports now that people have those new glowie reverse engineering tools (even if this isn't one of them).

ReVolt has a FOSS engine remake. I was literally playing it on a chinese handheld about 15 minutes ago since it is recompiled for so many different platforms now.

My headcannon is a giant cast iron thingamabob that shoots balls made out of steel! Very uncomfortable thing to wear on your head I do not recommend getting one!
I had Snopes fact check this, and they told me that when a black person kills a white person it isn't killing because thanks to white supremacy white people do not die when they are killed because white power protects them from all negative consequences. They therefore were happy to mark the claim as false. USA today's fact checkers went a step further, saying that when a black person kills a white person, it only hurts the black community therefore the claim is false.
Deboonked!

ngl, having seen what passes as a canadian professional engineer a lot of times, I don't think our licensure system really does much to make sure people who are licensed are actually competent.
Sometimes I see people sticking their noses in the air, like "Oh, we're the high class engineers, not like those third world engineers" then you see if someone ever built what they engineered it'd blow up or fall down, and it's like "why do we even bother with all this shit then?"
And apparently it's like "Oh, but they're responsible for their designs" -- bullshit. With the incompetence I've seen the last few years, every engineer would be living in a shopping cart if they had to take responsibility for their work.

I get a kick out of the implications of what he said, actually.
"Oh lordy, we wuz stolen from our homeland, most of us died crossing the ocean, and they made us do unspeakable things without pay -- like polynomials. Damn you to hell, you white devils!"

It's a sci-fi/speculative fiction book about 4 people from today waking up 100 years from now after dying unexpectedly in a plane crash in the arctic. They witness and try to integrate with varying degrees of success into the future that already experienced the consequences we're just talking about today, while dealing with the personal consequences of their resurrection (which are at times really visceral) and also navigating the pathologies of our age transposed into a new age that sees the world through much different eyes. Meanwhile, the story also looks at the potential consequences of certain technologies that are just beginning today but are likely to be fairly mature in 100 years, such as a combination of AI and neural implants.
The book lives in people's immediate perspectives, and has no omniscient narrator throughout. Everything that happens happens through the viewpoint of the characters in the book, and so part of the journey of each character's arc is learning with the reader about this new world that's quite alien to our current postmodern civilization.
One difference from most science fiction is that this isn't just modernism plus or postmodernism plus. It's a society that rebuilt from the ground up after our current era destroyed culture, meaning, and institutions. It's a society that believes in community, and that has made religion a core part of that community.
