All I feel is anger. Anger at those who rule us. Anger at those who allow themselves to be ruled.

Who’s the best western star. Yes these are the correct choices. Deal with it.

Film was mass, going niche.
Novels were mass, going niche.
The world I loved has died, in so many ways, and it sucks. Old school hacking, old school startups, science fiction novels, heritage America ... it's all dead.
I don't know what to do.

Lots of comments about how to remake the film industry--and a lot of "build back better" type talk. Sorry you have to hear it from me, but film as a dominant cultural force is never coming back. But it's not going to go away either. It's going to stick around. Just like opera stuck around. At one time opera was mass entertainment. And then it faded and was replaced by other forms of mass entertainment--like movies. Today opera is a niche thing--reserved for the wealthy. But it still happens. Old operas are still being performed, and once in a while someone even writes a completely original opera. I think we can expect something similar from film. Niche film theaters will play old movies, and once in a while will play something new. But the days of everyone going to the movies on a Saturday night (or even streaming at home) is over. The new films won't be made for a mass audience--not like The Matrix or Starwars or Lord of the Rings or any of the other movies you love--because that mass audience is gone. And it's never coming back. Instead films will be made for a niche audience. And we're already there now. Marvel movies are made for a niche audience of beard neck fanboys, and Oscar bait movies are made for the NPR totebag and Volvo niche. What's going to take film's place? I have no idea. If I had to make a bet on the future of mass entertainment I'd go with anything live and in person. The faker (and gayer) the world gets, the more people will want authenticity. Stand up comedy is enjoying a resurgence--partly for this reason. As far as digital content goes, maybe it'll be gaming, or maybe vertical drama type shows. But who the fuck knows. It will probably be something that doesn't currently exist. But again, film will never go away entirely. Somewhere there are opera companies producing operas, Shakespeare festivals still happen, Greek plays still happen, and somewhere in the world somebody is putting on a Punch and Judy show. So film fans, don't despair. They'll be something for you. It might not be great, but it will be there. And I guess that's better than nothing🤷♂️ (Credit to my friend @DisgracedProp for the film/opera insight.)

@WilliamShatner This is the goal. You're supposed to spend money in the place your trapped for the duration of the charging period.

And for the #teslarites who don’t understand 500 miles. Time is money. How long does it take to pump a tank of gas? 4-5 mins versus 30. Early last week I went up to the Yosemite area (about 300 miles.) I got up there, did my thing and got gas (5 mins) and drove back. With a Tesla. It would be drive up (maybe on one charge) charge up 20-30 mins, do my thing. Drive back, stop along the way to recharge (again probably another 20 mins…) That’s too long. 500 would be one recharge so it’s 10 mins gas versus 29-30 mins which I would consider.🤷🏼

@nathan_covey The agents goal is literally to burn time while making it seem like your call is being serviced in a timely fashion. This makes it seem like the time for your call to be answered is lower than it actually is.

I've never had an AI support agent ever actually solve my problem.
I have to escalate to a human every time.

Israeli tourist on vacation in Thailand gets drunk and starts harassing random people, calling them “Islamo-leftists.”
She quickly gets put in her place.
Vacation didn’t go as planned. 🤡

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (Part One) is one of the most boring films ever to be made by a human being.

@hdthurst @maxyourtest A lot of people have shit BP from their diets, also. You need solid BP to get wood at maximum level.
English
I can see the potential benefits of this, but my question is,who the fuck doesn't get morning wood still???.. I'm in my 40s and still wake up with a raging boner every morning and sometimes in the middle of the night too . Hell I get hard-ons for no damn reason all throughout the day ever since I can remember... Maybe I have a problem.... 🤔
