Wages of Fear (1953) One of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen.

It was remade in 1977 and called “Sorcerer”. I’ve never seen that version and neither has anyone else because it opened against Star Wars.

If you examine closely, you’ll see there is no AI, but Vin Diesel reading a script (written by humans).

You ever notice that the manosphere dudes who think relationships are an Econ101 function of how rich a dude is divided by how hot a girl is are the same people who get shocked and offended when women act shallow and materialistic?

When you exceed the recommended dosage: aspirin fucks your stomach, ibuprofen fucks your kidneys, acetaminophen fucks your liver, and Aleve fucks your heart.

The worst part about this is that the black excellence crowd like her, her husband, and Oprah think capitalism is the answer to black poverty. While in reality, they’ve just excelled in the music and entertainment industry who’s model of exploitation makes the Waltons look like labor activists.

It’s really not surprising that the most homophobic are queer themselves. Imagine how much you would resent someone who got to openly express what you’ve worked so hard to suppress.

Debian cut ties in January, so if you quit after that, you’re officially slower to change than Debian.

Angela Collier: come for the physics, stay for her calling Elon Musk a dumbass.

Yea, holding a job is just like slavery. It makes perfect sense if you don’t think about it. One time I had to help a customer after I clocked out. You can read about it in my best selling memoir: twelve minutes a slave.

People focus on the trouble AI is causing in schools, but the real tragedy is that young people today can live their whole lives without ever composing any type of long form writing. Asking them to is like asking someone to do long division when a calculator is right there.

Some people will still love to write, but for the majority, creative writing is dead as disco.

The AI data centers are paying their electric bills

This bears repeating. Datacenters do have to pay the light bill. Even when the VC money dries up. It’s a beautiful thing.

Just a reminder, the Trump regime can deport Abrego Garcia tomorrow but it refuses to. He has agreed to go to Costa Rica and they have agreed to take him. The reason they don’t is because they’d prefer to send him to some African country where he has no connection simply to be cruel to a man who has embarrassed them.

Vindictive prosecution is harder to prove than innocence through insanity but the Trump regime has delivered it to Abrego Garcia on a platter.

Did you know that many 20th century historians argue that the French resistance was irrelevant to the outcome of the occupation? The Tienanmen Square protesters had captured stockpiles of small arms, how’d that go? There is no debate about the Black Panthers, Weather Underground, or any other left movement willing to do violence. They were all crushed by the US Government. I’m sorry to report, but Hampton was wrong: you can kill a revolution by killing revolutionaries.

If you’re interested in history, I’d point out that successful revolutions are often accompanied by military defectors. The military guys will bring the guns. (and the ability to actually fight, unlike the average GI Jabroni)

If you’re an American, having deep seated mistrust and skepticism of the medical establishment, pharma, and government is 1000% justifiable. Every one of these institutions has exploited, abused, abandoned, and murdered people, all in the name of public health.

As a person who grew up in poverty, the idea of trusting doctors and medical authorities is just as ridiculous as trusting the police.

Assuming that social problems are the sum of individuals making dumb choices is an easy shortcut that not only eliminates the discomfort of thinking about the issue, but has the added benefit to implying that you’re superior.

The number of possible combinations of genes is so large that the chance of a random duplication is vanishingly small. Even twins aren’t exact copies because they’ll have mutations unique to themselves.

Rich people are allowed to rape girls in America. Law enforcement is an enabler, not an obstacle. Nobody is even talking about how to change that.

For every 1,000 sexual assaults, only 25 people will be incarcerated. America doesn’t give a tiny shit about people getting raped. When it happens to girls and women, we ignore it. When it happens to boys and men, it’s a joke. That’s still going to be true if Trump and everybody you hate is rotting in prison.

This comment is braindead bigotry. It’s like saying a paraplegic can’t be a lawyer because they can’t climb the courthouse steps.

There has never existed an astronaut that didn’t need significant accommodation to live in work in space (duh), you’re arguing that disabled people don’t deserve the exact same treatment. Fuck you.

So like you want President Gavin Newsom to order the Justice department to charge Tucker Carlson with mortgage fraud?

Corruption and abuse of power actually get worse if it’s “both sides”. Don’t you think?

The problem with articles like this is that they only focus on games that are bad as a game, and ignores games that are good to excellent, but that are still bad because they screw their players over, engage in abusive business and labor practices, or are simply owned by dogshit people.

As you can tell, I’m waiting for the Jimqusition end of year lists.
