  1. I mean, zero argument from me that we dont' have the sustainabile business models yet to support the investments and we are likely in a bubble-- but a productive bubble as not all bubbles are created equally. I think there is zero doubt that there will be a route to effective monetization at some point, but yea, for now my sora 2 video I created of a tupac coming out of the WWE tunnel to Hail Mary is probably a waste of everyone's time except my four friends who thought it was funny.
  2. To be fair, the rapture is stupid and not biblical.
  3. Didn’t know this site was full of AI doomers. Ewwww
  4. I had the odd thought… In some ways you can argue once things have been attempted to be equalized and brought together in equity, there are no pressure valves (historically there have been abused and taken advantage groups that allow for the pressure release) and the whole engine was always destined to blow without a way to manage the full scale tension of everything being equal. It’s a flaw in the design of the machine more than anything. Our society literally wasn’t built for equality and equity and inclusion and fairness (white male landowners out front shoulda told you). We actually probably need a new model and to redesign the hardware from first principles rather than keep trying to configure and customize the system we have that isn’t built for the purpose we are trying to bend it towards.
  5. Thought this was about the lovable rascal from Queensbridge.
  6. Apparently this guy has lost 5 PM’s recently and his job is now almost toast. Anyone following this? Snap elections can have negative unintended consequence I guess is the lesson here?
  7. Sora app! Bitcoin! AI!
  8. Your post was like 40hz to the nards. Great stuff.
  9. RIGHT?
  10. TBF, Gold just broke an all-time record of $4,000 an oz I believe.... https://www.wsj.com/finance/commodities-futures/gold-price-4000-ounce-record-d63ab2bd
  11. I think your analysis also gets an "incomplete" because I think you could be right, but it depends... It depends on who is going to step up and be the next Iran and funnel money, arms, protection and leadership to the next generation of Palestine's Hamas that you think is inevitable to crop up? While Israel might have done a terrible job calculating the long-term costs (TBD), I think they tried to mitigate long term consequences. Which is to say the dismantling of it's enemies who allowed Hamas to be as powerful as they got to be as a terrorist group for the OG 10/7 two years ago, in the attacks in Syria, Iran, and abroad. They were trying to eliminate the threat wholly (which, grossly, looks like it included eliminating Palestine completely) and seemed to have the mindset of take the axe to the roots and not let it grow back. Obviously they've failed so what's next? Did they get enough of the roots for the weeds to be managable or is it all Hamas-redux all the way down? TBD, WIP, Incomplete.
  12. Wait, Tony Evans was into pedo stuff?
  13. If you didn't use chatgpt for this answer you are a genius. thank you.
  14. As usual Shane Gillis is on the right side of an issue (e.g. the right is so stupid for making bad bunny halftime show an issue):
  15. When one starts talking in should's and ought's it tells me that they are not being realistic and mindful in the present and instead pining wistfully for a bygone era or idllyic age (which itself is probably romanticized in bias and not wholly true). A better mindset, to tie it back to the D's and optimizing messaging and success, is to take a "control the controllables" mindset. "it is, now, what it is-- what are you going to do about it". Dont' waste your tears on how it should be if not for those mean old hateful R's, because it's a waste as we all know they aren't wasting a second thinking about anyone else.
  16. I think Bill Burr, rightfully and the KSA thing notwithstanding, would push back on being a Bro-comedian. He, like Chappelle, seem to have a different point of view on popular ideas (e.g. WNBA/women's rights in that clip above, the BLM movement on SNL, trans and terf stuff with Chappelle) and they communicate that POV with humor. In some sense, at least when they were first speaking out on these, they were the counter-cultural POV and going against popularity. Maybe what Marc is saying isn't wrong about some of those POVs and topics being old and hackneyed now-- but Burr and CHappelle and a few others are the tip of the spear. I think Marc is decrying the long tail, the rest of the wood behind the arrow, that have come along lately in the last few years and saturated the comedy circuit with those takes and he's talking about a whole horde of comediens we don't see or hear from second tier and down trying to make a name for themselves by getting in good graces with the "bro algorithms"?
  17. It's happening gif? From the AP this morning:
  18. The bolded was my initial point. "WHAT" is the R's fault? We have to get to a specific pain point rather than a general "It's the R's fault the government shut down". Okay? What does that even mean to the layman? That was my point, nobody I know or talk to or interact with has felt 1 ounce of pain fromt he government being shut down right now (hence the comment, there seems to be a huge lack of urgency). Maybe I'm insulated in the suburbs. Maybe not. Maybe there just needs to be more time to allow the negative consequences to play out (e.g. holiday travel snarls). Maybe not. The point is, you have to drag the people across the glass and help them feel the pain they are supposed to be feeling from the government shutting down. A winning message isn't "the R's are dolts and shut the government down!" if there is no pain. A winning message is to identify the pain and tie it to the R's fault, "Your prescription arthritis medicine went from $5 to $300 this month and every month after beause the greedy republicans shut down the government!" I just made that last consquence up, but you get the point. Need to analyze and draw out the conclusions and spoonfeed it to people.
  19. There seems to be zero urgency on this thing. Stock market ticking up still somehow, informally and anectdotely, nobody I talk to seems to care that the government is shut down and most don't even know in a "oh, this that still happening is it still shut down? btw what does that even mean?" It seems like the politically plugged in get it, but not sure how what % of the actual people that make up in the real world.
  20. I’ll take bad bunny over Kendrick Lamar any day
  21. When I read what you wrote, I immediately thought of the asian comedien from knoxville tennessee. Dems (asian man) need to be able to speak with a southern drawl (popular in red states):

    I wish i could find it, there is one where a fat lady is going after him and he says " I can walk backwards faster than you" and ragebaited her so hard.
  24. From what I saw of Hawkins, he was throwing 50/50 balls against Kent State that would be defended easily (or picked) by a team who isn't Little Sisters of the Poor. But then again, I saw Lagley have a dang fine game against our supposedly good D while throwing 5 picks against someone else.
  25. Hi Mrs. Rowling, didn't realize we had a legend in our midst.
