This is the paradox: the "AI" bubble is based on hype. It's not about creating useful things. It's about hype to inflate stock.
If the public resists the hype, then line does not go up.
So they hype harder and harder, repelling most people with their hard sell tactics.
It's a downward spiral.

Hi @magic.wizards.com, can you make sure my friend Cory here is not receiving only $455.88 instead of seven Collector Booster Boxes of Final Fantasy he won in Arena Direct? Because obviously that would be super villain type shit that you wouldn't want to do. #mtg
the way it's written makes it sound like I'm getting $455 for 7 collector boxes. seems like fraud imo

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Welp. This is a lesson to everyone not to participate in the Arena directs since @magic.wizards.com is willing to screw players over and leave them high and dry. Considering the fairly absurd entry cost for these events *and* the fact that this is now taxable income, this is a miserable value #mtg

It sucks that @mozilla.org has completely lost the plot because I've used and evangelized Firefox for 17 years now and would really rather not switch off it, but oh well. What's your favorite #Linux friendly privacy-focused web browser? I would really prefer not to use something based on Chromium.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

WORD I am really, really tired of "we tease the tragic backstory of the detective" can't a detective just detect, the murder is surely sufficient drama.
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money

Power Rangers (2017) is not an especially great movie, but sometimes I put it on when I'm having a crappy day because Elizabeth Banks seems like she's having the most fun possible and it's infectious. It's an absolute joy to watch her chew the scenery.

Some say it is best to live without regrets, but sometimes regrets are necessary to uncover honor within yourself. We learn kindness from the example of others, but also from reflecting on times when we were unkind, regretting those moments, and vowing to do better.
