  • Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made

    Jump

  • This year alone:

    • Sinners
    • The Phoenician Scheme
    • Companion
    • Bring Her Back
    • Black Bag

    Which are all original movies that are genuinely good. Expanding to others there's:

    • The Legend of Ochi
    • Ugly Stepsister
    • Novocaine
    • Clown in a Cornfield
    • Eddington
    • K-Pop Demon Hunters
    • Oh, Hi!
    • The Ballad of Wallace Island
    • Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight

    You don't put in the effort to see original movies and then bitch that there aren't good movies

  • Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit

    Jump

  • You're citing examples from the 6th, 4th, and 18th centuries and arguably the last one isn't even about intellectual property

    Even ignoring the blatant "what aboutism" if your justification for why it's ok to steal video game ideas is because some Byzantians were mean to you 1400 years ago just know that nobody is going to take you seriously

  • Wyoming town to host AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined

    Jump

  • Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be

    Jump

  • I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There's also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don't doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s

    Is there like a cheat code for dating apps?

    Jump

  • Short answer: pay them. These apps have made themselves the barrier to human interaction and will put you in front of more people if you pay them. If you're online dating then you're playing a numbers game and the best way to win a numbers game is playing as much as possible

    [SERIES] What is your opinion on the old saying {"In vino veritas"}?

    Jump

  • Age quod agis

  • Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97

    Jump

  • RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

    Jump

  • You're correct, I had mixed up several of them in my memory. I think 6 is what I was thinking of where you can say "fuck your civil war, I'm out"

  • RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

    Jump

  • Technically speaking Far Cry 5 meets this definition. At the beginning of the game the big bad guy arrests you and says to wait while he brings you the person you're trying to save. If you sit there for 10 minutes doing nothing he returns with the person and lets both of you go. Most people just start murdering instead

  • What famous people in history do you think would be disgnosed with autism if they lived in modern day?

    Jump

  • Probably Newton and Tesla. Both seemed to not really understand other people and were more focused on their specific hobbies

  • It is linguistically impossible to behave anyone but yourself

    Jump

  • I'd argue tranqilizing someone is a form of "behaving" another person

  • Trump's EPA now says greenhouse gases don't endanger people

    Jump

  • I'd encourage them to try standing in a closed garage with a running car to see how they feel about how dangerous greenhouse gasses are

  • Removed

    What was the Nazi Germany equivalent to "Ted Lasso"?

    Jump

  • Ted Lasso is feel good TV about a guy who takes his traditional skill set outside of his country to a different career (football coach to soccer coach) and different culture. It has a focus on being kind and embracing other cultures. Obviously OP is implying a cultural dissonance with this being popular given the American political landscape

  • Day 370 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • Dead Rising 2: Off the Record did have a sandbox mode and in my opinion was the most fun game in the series. The original had an infinite time mode but you had to get the true ending I believe to unlock it

  • Democrats’ Project 2029 Is Doubling Down on Failure | The Democrats' Project 2029 takes up the unique strategy of getting the very people who drove their party into the disastrous rut it is now stuck

    Jump

  • The Democrat strategy:

  • Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium?

    Jump

  • So you're saying I should view the speed of sound in a medium like the speed of light in a vacuum? That it's the "speed-limit" of how a wave propagates and so trying to exceed it is impossible for a physical wave?

    What are some oasis-type locations or vignettes from video games?

    Jump

  • In Horizon Forbidden West

    Las Vegas

    becomes one after a story event

    The End of Time in Chrono Trigger is an Oasis in the void instead of the desert.

  • “Tax-Dodging Consultant” Is Now the US Treasury’s Top Tax Policy Official

    Jump

  • You know, in a sane country this would be a reasonable headline. Tax dodging is often done legally if dishonestly. By hiring someone who is particularly adept at navigating those loopholes that person could effectively shut them down without opening new ones. It takes a thief to catch a thief and so on. Unfortunately this isn't a sane country so I have to assume he's just going to make the loopholes just straight up holes to make things even worse

  • What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

    Jump

  • As I live in the south I hear my "how are you all doing" morphing into "howya'lldoin" and there's nothing I can do to stop it
