How is that a bad thing? Still looks like a good place for community meetups and is one less road. Gotta take the silver linings where you can. It’s not like it’s flooded all the time.

A short film known as Spin, made in 2004.

It’s about a physicist who is bicycling down a hill and a car is in his path. The driver turns to see him and hits his brakes in the last moment. He skids over the hood, mostly unharmed and begins to ponder this.

If the driver hadn’t had the single neuron in his brain fire and trigger him to look again, he wouldn’t have hit his brakes and he would have collided with the flat side of the car, likely killing him.

He applies this idea to quantum physics and realizes that this is happening with every decision made by any living creature at every waking moment, creating countless split possibilities for all moments in time.

The final scene is very striking, showing a car approach an intersection. The view splits to show the car turning both left and right. The camera splits multiple more times to show the concept that you can always choose any path at any moment. Some are just more likely than others.

It showed on IFC back in 2005 or so, and I’ve tracked down some limited information on it, but it was shot on 35mm and I’ve found no real leads on watching it anywhere.

This is the very limited IMDB page for it.

Now they just want to make you pay to waste some plastic.

There’s just so many options

That’s easy. You just ignore your conscience because money speaks louder to these people.

This is the first artist I’ve seen that I listen to that’s pulled their stuff. Good on them.

Wow. This is some serious science fiction level stuff. This is an amazing development for a lot of people, I can imagine. They mention same-sex parents, but also, being able to have a biological kid for any reason of infertility is really awesome.

I’ve had plenty of success using it to build things like docker compose yamls and the like, but for anything functional, it does often take a few tries to get it right. I never use its raw for anything in production. Only as a leaping off point to structure things.

No, I just find it funny that they chose the absolute softest blow choices of games. They could have chosen way more “woke” games than these.

The first time I played through it, it didn’t really sink in. When I got to the ending where ::: spoiler Spoiler You you give up Songbird in exchange for your cure and you find that they are able to heal you only by removing your cybernetics :::

I booted the game back up the next day, but just couldn’t bring myself to continue with my character. It felt like I finally got them out of that world. I didn’t pick it back up again for another month and started with a fresh character because of how hard it sunk in.

They didn’t even call out any actually controversial games. Ultrakill is hardly even “ultraviolent” once you play something like Cyberpunk and do a brute character.

All I want is more BT 😢

I need to know the shoes to complete the image

It’s like thinking Star Wars is all about cool glow stick fights. I mean, it is, but it’s about other stuff too.

Someone should make a script that just does this on every webpage.

……No

The opposite of love is not hate but apathy. If you give something your attention, it’s getting something out of you, whether you want it to or not, whether they’re aware of it or not.

If you want to truly hurt someone in a way that doesn’t hurt yourself, just cut them out of your life and move on.

I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!

I’ve certainly seen this with Skyrim from friends haha 😆
