Yeah, and a lot of the movies mentioned are not popular because people did not like them. Of the ones I have heard anything about, Mickey 17 is the only I have heard good things about. Red One, really? That is an example?

At least in the US, going to the movies is expensive as all get out, so I think this is less about the movies themselves. I liked the movie clubs where you get x number of movies a month (I did Cinemark’s before COVID), but not everyone has a theatre with that option. Also, for me personally, I am still keeping a tight COVID ship, so that means the draw of places like Cinemark is not there anymore. Overall, it just seems like there are fewer reasons to go a movie, especially when oftentimes movies come out on streaming a few weeks to a couple months after it hits theaters.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Nobody here is saying Chinese authoritarianism is good, they are mostly pointing out that this op-ed is really, really bad and does not understand the technology, or pointing out that your post history/quality borders on racism. That doesn’t mean they are pro-authoritarianism, it just means they are pro well researched, quality posts and are already tired of the anti-China spam thanks to past accounts doing the same thing

I don’t get why you would then suggest farming the leaves only.

They were suggesting using the leaves as food for livestock, so you would not want the plastics in it. This is a guess, but I think they were just trying to say it could be a dual purpose “crop” since the leaves don’t contain any microplastics

In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time

I go through waves. Sometimes I don’t want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn’t buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don’t let that be the only reason.

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

lol, I just watched a Climate Town video about that show. Also a good watch

Apologies if I come off as upset, I am not. I don’t feel I was even a target of those comments. I was just pointing out that some of those folks might have come out swinging due to the perceived tone of the original comment, and calling other people names does not help that situation. My real hope was that they would be a little more careful with their words since tone hard to convey in text, and using words associated with people that more often then not are not acting in good faith can convey either aggressiveness or just outright trolling

Use of the word “trigger” is the key part here. It is most often used by right wingers just trying to piss people off (“triggering the libs”). Starting off with that and then commenting on how people are “sanctimonious” for expressing valid opinions are what tell me you were less than open to an actual conversation. It has nothing to do do with the post itself (though I tend to agree she really doesn’t say anything of value) and more to do with how you are going about interacting with people like a right wing troll. Hell even in this comment you end with a common right wing dismissive phrase (virtue signalling) that, again, tells other people you don’t want a conversation

African Jackals are closest based on what I have seen. Dire wolves and north American canids might share a common ancestor, though

Not only that, but grey wolves aren’t even the closest related existing species, and some scientists that work at Colossal wrote the study saying as much. If you want to call it a new species, sure, I could see it, but a dire wolf it is not

Now look at the comments in here, a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour.

Is there a word for a sentence that does the same thing it describes?

There is no reason to denigrate people because they don’t agree with you or don’t like the nature of LLMs/generative algorithms. It really feels like you came looking for a fight (“I know the title will trigger people”) and trying to dismiss folks that point out this does not fix the fundamental problems with LLMs

Unless you already have a ready made supply of books, magazines, newspapers, poems and recipes to hand

Libraries are a thing and they have all that and more. No smartphone needed for a library card

How is From going downhill?

Or Sceptre if you want a non-smart TV.

It might be anti intellectualism in me

Ah, ok, well I see we are done here.

Have a good one

1. Anarchy is not the precursor to feudalism (and even feudalism as a concept is hotly debated among historians). That statement is also incredibly Eurocentric. The reality is there was a large variety of political and social structures around the world. Hell, just look at pre-colonial Native Americans and the huge variety in culture there

2. You are defining anarchy differently than a majority of people. And fine, whatever, but you are going to get in a lot of pointless arguments because you are coming at it with the incoreect notion that anarchy means chaos. Especially on a heavily leftist platform that has a lot of anarchists.

I recommend doing some reading and getting caught up on modern anarchist ideas instead of spouting that kind of nonsense. Hell, look into some anarchist societies and see what they are/were about. Also note that most of the non-extant ones are so because of state violence against them.

When did we try anarchy?

Yeah, I am also confused by the context. Both colums can be desirable traits/skills depending in the job. None of them mean someone is a “rule bending narcissist.”

Are you just a disagree bot programmed with leftist plattitudes? Cause that is what it seems like
