Robot That Gets Killed By Aliens Early In The Movie

there are obviously people who would *say* they consider the cheesecake factory fine dining but if you described an actual fine dining establishment they would clarify that such establishments are better classified as "gay"

Very interesting DSP (and processing) photos, and until better quality photos get released here an attempt to clean them up a bit.

Sometimes Threads does have the juice...

And the reason people keep asking it is not about ethics in absentia, it's always a lead-in to why we have to vote for Clinton or let self-driving cars run people over or shit like that...

Now we are watching a video of the San Jose test. incredible call of duty music overlaid on firefighter helmet cam. [BY THE WAY helmet cams are banned on firefighters in SF because one time it caught them running over a woman.]

Hm. "Son, we live in a world with bugs, and those bugs need to be handled by people writing code. Who's going to do it? You? I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a user who plumbs the archive that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it..."

Things that are now left-coded in the US: - looking out for your neighbors - knowing about sports - drinking beer - THE US MARINES

Real missed opportunity to have all the potential Bond actors compete in weekly televised challenges like a very British version of Survivor

Actual Canadian Interference

quick mention Raytheon and see if they boo because it's immoral or boo because it's a competitor

I really do not know why, but this post made me laugh so hard I very nearly fell out of my chair.

It really is amazing that they allowed JJ Abrams to say in public that he didn't know what any of the stuff in his movie meant and assumed that nerds would do all the work to figure it out for him.

"Grim Irony" (screenshot of internet post, 2026)

We asked a panal of 12 year old boys how to improve our morning commutes, and they unanimously decided "rocket powered kickflipping car" would be "sick as hell".

[0003642] Notable foes say "Prepare to die!" even if they don't notice you

my "unwarned lethal actions against nonbelligerent civilians in territorial waters are authorized under the ROE of a T50 op" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

Now this is bombing to win

The value proposition of humans to business enterprise will be "you can kill them in a way that matters"...

What your mentions look like when you say that bamboo tastes bad

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Many things to laugh at here but the one I really like is how she actually voted before to close the park, and her only confusion now is which option ("yes" or "no") is the one that actually closes the park.

You’re not a real Bay Area resident until you’ve had “fuck dem kids” printed in the newspaper

No, that's Kraftwerk, it's supposed to sound that way.

A really important thing about SF fans is that when Gibson wrote a book roasting their misunderstanding of cyberpunk as being an aspirational aesthetic, they misunderstood *that* book as *also* being an aspirational aesthetic...

The trees aren't actually this red yet -- the sunrise is just very strong this morning. It makes a neat picture, though!

I mean, I actually would be okay with AI-gen stuff if I could go look in the list of training materials! "Human artists learn from each other too" yeah well I can go *ask* a human artist who their inspirations were, whereas ML companies tell me to go eat shit...

"I wanna be able to hang out with the people who I wish were my friends and have it so they have to do whatever I want and they can't tell me 'no' or 'stop' or 'bro that's stupid'..."

Last week I stumbled across a once-classified report from 1971 that listed the actual times for SLBM attacks and warning systems. What hooked me from the onset was that all the times are listed in *seconds*. This week for DOOMSDAY MACHINES, I try to unpack all that a bit...

One of the things I genuinely believe is that the American "obesity epidemic" is an expression of American discomfort with sensuality; eating food has a sensual aspect, and because Americans don't want to talk about it they can't really address the fact that they're addicted to it.

images that spring to mind unbidden, part 999: "trans-inclusive radical misogyny" // "women should stay out of kitchens"

gregor samsa awoke one morning to discover he had been transformed into a sickass beetle. fuck yeah he said scuttling all over the walls and ceiling like no dumbfuck traveling salesman could ever do. this is the best day of my life he said

This is what you get from a generation of guys who grew up reading Cracked Dot Com listicles titled "here's twelve things your white woman teacher 'forgot' to cover in history class"...

One of the things that's shaped the #cyberpunkfuture as experienced is high-bandwidth RF communications. Nobody really predicted that was going to be a thing; everyone figured it was going to top out at text-based SMS.

There were a surprising number of things like this that promised a completely new take on the Bland Boring ROLL-Playing Genre and turned out to be a copy of D&D except with an insane amount of detail in the authors' hyperfixations.

the main tradeoff of going to grad school isn't money or prestige. that would be laughable. the main reason to do it is so you can ruthlessly pick apart movies that touch on your area of subject expertise

have this come out in like '87, this might be the most insane film ever made

ive delivered mids. plenty of them. ive got more mids left in me to boot. everyone dispenses mids sometimes, its normal. you either learn from it and grow or you actually-stagnate and turn into someone who is utterly insufferable to be around cuz no one fucking likes Mid talking like theyre Peak
