A guy once argued with me about a movie he’d only seen the cold opening of. At some point he declared “I don’t care I know I’m right” but kept arguing Because he did care, he actually didn’t know if he was right, but was entirely unwilling to recognize he might have been wrong Don’t be that guy

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

And if your excuse is that any president would have used 9/11 to lie us into invading a country with no connection to it, you might be right. No president has been good on the subject of Iraq. But maybe we start with not rehabilitating the one who actually did it? Ya know... just see how it goes

No worries I will accept answers as long as people want to give them. Hard agree on Final Destination, they are not good, not even in a "so bad it's fun" way, it's just the over the top kills. 3 is probably the only one I legit enjoy. Fantasia I would say is iffy if it fits but very good visuals

So since my name is already "spooky" themed (has zombi in it) every year when people do spooky names for the season I decide to go in a different direction. I am incredibly proud of this joke, do not tell me how bad it is, thank you.
