@DrBriefsScratch
What struck me the most about your thread is how often you put yourself out there (competitions, communication, sharing your code, your ideas)...
...only for people to pass on you, ignore you, and not open doors to gainful employment.

Kids today will never know the joy of quickly jumping out from behind a tree darting in front of a moving vehicle 😔
They would envy squirrels.
Surpsingly quiet from the Costin Alamariu / Bronze Age Pervert faction of Twitter.
Didn't you romanticize rape, war, murder, pillaging, invasion? Didn't you extol us all of the virtues of piracy, of sun and steel, of might makes right?
What's wrong? A little uncomfortable?
@sexytwerp
To be serious for a second: you used to be able to just randomly email people and get help or a response. People were willing to share their knowledge and insight.
But at some point, something shifted and it rarely (10% of the time?) works anymore.

This is GenX crap. This show is Charlie Grandy (born 1974) and Mindy Kaling (born 1979). GenX doesn’t get enough hate for their now dominant “That’s gotta hurt!!” sense of humor.

That’s the biggest advantage I see of a hotel…if the room isn’t meeting your expectations you just ask to change rooms.
1st thing I do is turn on the A/C in the hotel room. Not cold enough or noisy? Immediately ask for new room.
I feel your pain.

It's very much in line with the aesthetic you'll see in catalogues, high end hotels, stores, restaurants.

The doctor god-complex is something we all have to begrudingly tolerate.
We could extinguish it through humiliation if we wanted to, but the draw of the god-complex is probably a pretty good motivator for them to go into medicine in the 1st place.
@moultano
Some support for the sockpuppet theory: a very large number of the highest-scoring questions she answered were asked by accounts that were all created within one month of each other.
Some examples attached.
@NEETWorldOrder
A critical problem for literally 20+ years. I remember entering high school and reading articles encouraging Boomers to seriously start training the next gen to take the reigns, since Boomers were approaching retirement age. They’ve ignored it for 2 decades.

Fun fact: Cameron Diaz's father was a CIA operative in the Bay of Pigs.
In the movie “Lost in Translation”, the "Kelly" character (played by Anna Faris) is largely understood to be a thinly veiled parody of Diaz. In a memorable dinner scene, the character tells a story about her

Reminder that these outfits from The Fifth Element (1997) were designed by noted fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier and have become so iconic that they are still cosplay favorites 25 years later.
@nekrodvna
It’s not often discussed what a disaster Boomers were when they 1st joined the workforce en masse. Incredibly incompetent, huge drops in engineering & quality control. Whiny and lazy and entitled. The Boomers catastrophic entrance helped kickstart offshoring jobs overseas.

I downloaded the video file. Someone altered it from 24fps (the original cinematic framerate) to 60fps.
This is why it looks so bad.
2 major sins of Economists:
1) Using math to justify something obviously wrong
2) Using math to "prove" something obviously right, well-established, and rigorously defined in other fields.
For examples of 2, see famed "economic philosopher" George Soros' Theory of Reflexivity

I had to google Alyssa Kazew. Seems like she’s tried to make cringe her signature style.
This stuff will age like spoiled milk.
She’ll have to do what a lot of photographers do and scrap her entire portfolio and start from scratch to “reinvent” herself.

If academics in Math, Physics, Computer Science seriously read and critiqued the stuff that passes in Economics, they would have an autistic freak out and rip it apart.
But Economics isn't serious anyway, so no one even cares about it.

This isn’t about tech “blocking” god or some principled stand. The Amish simply realize that anything using electricity / electromagnetic frequencies is a ripe target of possession by ultraterrestrial entities who use electricity to interact with our physical dimension.

Zoomers will never understand the feeling of hearing “Firestarter” blaring on the soundtrack of Wipeout XL being played on a newly opened PlayStation 1 on Christmas morning 1997.
@remnantposting
Fucking morons wanting to turn back the clock. Then realize that progress and institutions are emergent and inevitable outcomes of the state of nature.
It’s like those little hippie communes or libertarian experiments that end in chaos. Just as hilarious as they are sad.

Violence is a fantasy to them. They see it through a screen. It's an abstract idea.
This is why I believe boys need to go hunting. Understand what it's like to hurt something and kill something, and humanely dispatch a wounded animal. Get down down to the real nitty gritty,

@SkinnyTuna
Yeah besides all the people noting "poor marketing", the critics treated it with ambivalence.
It felt like critics wanted to put it in the "Sphere" and "Event Horizon" bucket, sci-fi films they also hated. (But also better films than the critics would lead you to believe)
@VellowVperedist
You’re being too literal.
People are starving for creativity and beauty in the places we live and work.
Appreciating art deco isn’t incompatible with appreciating classical or neoclassical architecture.
Comes down to embracing aesthetics.

Gemini stonewalling me last night vs. ChatGPT
(Sharing the Depth Buffer is a common task, and Unreal even has its own "Texture Share" method to support it. But judging from Gemini's response, you'd think I was asking it for something illicit and dangerous)
@BeijingPalmer
Selection bias.
Huge numbers were rejected from service due to malnutrition. This was a wake-up call and shocking both to our armed forces and to the political class that realized an underfed, undernourished citizenry was a national security risk.

Contrast this with a ton of Boomers in America that consider their own offspring as competition in a zero sum game and seem to sadistically delight in the misery of their children.

There’s something just kinda elegant about a laptop. Some kinda technolust they can trigger.
Maybe we just appreciate the balance of form, beauty combined with the extreme amount of technical skill that goes into such a refined object.
