Yeah turns out the people who hate data centers are being completely and totally reasonable
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Data centers are the leading cause of a 76% increase in the cost of electricity for America's largest power grid over just the first 3 months of this year, according to Bloomberg. The 13-state grid managed by PJM serves 67 million people, and costs have spiked this year. This time last year the cost of electricity on this grid was $77.78 per megawatt-hour. Now that cost has almost doubled to $136.53 per megawatt-hour. Bloomberg attributes that skyrocketing cost to the "booming demand from artificial intelligence data centers, which require vast amounts of energy and are putting a significant burden on America’s aging power grids."

@omegashutin People don't like admitting how big of a role luck plays because it would be implying they're not ultimately in control which raises uncomfortable questions about fate and destiny and the ripples of cause and effect that permeate through every passing second. But too bad.
English
The luck pill is also very underrated. Sometimes an incel can get lucky. I knew a 4/10 short dude who just happened to meet his gf on roblox when they were both 13. Somehow they are married in their 20's.
If he met her at 20 or something it would be over. Luck has a lot to do...

We are the last generation which lived in a society of mass literacy. After us, it's all video watchers.

@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj I appreciate that. I too could have been more polite :) All in good fun, even when it gets heated.
English
@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj Maybe I came in too hot and I apologize. It’s a totally decent action flick that I don’t care for. Nolan is known for his use of practical effects and as Homer described him Achilles could just as likely be wiz khalifa rather than Brad Pitt. Cheers
English
Troy fucking sucked. Achilles is fucking gay. Elliot Page is a good actor. Achilles is in the Odyssey in one fucking scene. Suck my fucking dick.

The biggest downgrade i’ve ever seen in my life

@GC_Strategos @LokiJulianus This is obviously untrue. China's leverage is immense and they have the US by the balls. Which is probably why Trump kissed ass like no tomorrow. It depends on China's interests.
English
@LokiJulianus China was never in a position to help Iran or Cuba beyond rhetoric.
English
@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj Being genuinely upset is too much, simply not liking the casting is fine. I'm not gonna pretend Troy was the height of the medium, it's just a dumb fun B or C tier action movie that at least tried hard in some aspects. Nowadays they'd CGI it up. I appreciate it as a time capsule.
English
@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj Look if we are getting into comparing Troy to jungle cruise with the rock you’ll find no argument from me. Maybe I misjudged your intentions but many are upset with the casting of fictional characters in a thousand year old poem and Troy did suck haha
English
@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj Critics panned it and it certainly isn't top tier cinema but it was a fun popcorn flick and audiences enjoyed it. People will inevitably compare Nolan's aesthetic direction to it, of course they would. And I'd say it aged okay, looks better than a lot of the crap out there today.
English
@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj It was panned at the time and hasn’t aged in any way positively, but yes, you can enjoy it, and many others do, no shade there. But weaponizing it against a new adaptation of the odyssey is silly behavior.

@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj Nobody's melting down, you know you're just being a cunt. All this waffling about how well-read you supposedly are because someone said they enjoyed the Troy movie? Where did I ever say it was perfectly faithful? Can't a guy enjoy it in its own right despite its inaccuracies?
English
@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj I don’t understand your meltdown there beyond you pretending to have read the illiad. Troy was a semi decent period action movie that had as much to due with the illiad as the office does. Achilles is never described once as white much less Brad Pitt like
English
@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj Naw, I have. Couldn't tell you which translation it was though, it's been a while. Never said I care deeply about it. Pretty sad watching you try and stroke your e-peen here. Inspired by that classic Matt Damon scene? How about fuck off, f&ggot.
English
@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj I have read the books that lead to this movie that you clearly care so deeply about. You obviously have not. That’s ok. Just say you don’t like the actors or filmmakers and don’t pretend you’re defending a text you’ve never engaged with

@airbent_ No, we also get groceries delivered to our doorsteps by some other guy in a car.

Do Americans really get in their car EVERY SINGLE TIME the go grocery shopping?

@LukasGJacobs @esjesjesj Oh so you read books? Name every book.

@MarsAutomatic @esjesjesj Very interesting way to say you’ve never read a book

Reports say Xi did describe the U.S. as being in decline, but he reportedly never added “under Biden.” That part appears to have been Trump’s interpretation, not Xi’s actual wording.

NEW: Trump says Xi Jinping was “100% correct” in describing the U.S. as a declining nation under Biden.
English
@daveswrite @TheMiddleborne This is how you do a stylized adaptation. This is a good movie. The Odyssey though, ehhhhhh.
English
It’s going to be hilarious if-aside from casting and stylistic choices-Nolan’s The Odyssey end up being the best adaptation of the work ever made
English
@mrgrozz @random2152 Eh, betting against Nolan has paid off lately. Oppenheimer and Tenet were both overrated and mediocre compared to the rest of his filmography. It's entirely plausible that Odyssey will make a fuck ton of money while still being a lackluster movie.
English
@random2152 Yeah, betting against Nolan because Travis Scott has a role for 30 seconds is foolish lol. It's still gonna be a blast in IMAX but atp my expectation is more Tenet where it'll need that big screen & sound to make up for average acting and visuals by his standards.
English
All this casting discourse takes away from how grey & bland the trailers looked. This is the guy who made Interstellar, he's set the bar as high as possible and this doesnt look to be on that level
5 min preview was solid in IMAX but nothing made me go "holy shit!" like Dune 3
