This Happiness Lab podcast episode "Unhappy Millionaire" is kind of blowing my mind. I've written about Dan Gilbert before, he's a genius, and it just gets better and better from there. Hard recommend (minus the annoying hard-coded ads) -- I guarantee this will surprise you in ways you absolutely don't see coming https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/the-unhappy-millionaire

Poor Things is like a much, much more accessible The Lobster. It is almost as good as Everything Everywhere All At Once which is an unbelievable compliment. See it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlbR5N6veqw

codinghorror,

a "141 minute mistake"? Dude, you're a 64 year long mistake as a movie reviewer!

codinghorror,

@u47 I dunno, these are objectively so good that it's hard to take people who hate them seriously. Go watch cartoons?

codinghorror,

@ristkof @u47 it's like people who say "I don't like chocolate". I mean, OK, but are you sure you're an actual human? 👽

codinghorror,

@ristkof @u47 well, ok, but the academy awards disagree with you 11 times, so objectively.. uh.. that's let's say a "rare" opinion. ;) I could also cite metacritic, but we're good :)

codinghorror,

anyways, don't take my word, look at Metacritic: https://www.metacritic.com/movie/poor-things/ and also what the hell is wrong with the movie reviewer at the SF Chronicle!?

It's amazing how bullshit diamonds are, from beginning to end. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/02/lab-grown-diamond-revolution-wont-happen/677378

codinghorror,

@veronica yeah the whole thing is pretty bad, once you read the history

I still can't believe how fast gambling became mainstream in the US.

codinghorror,

@lizardbill turns out, people like money. and sex.

codinghorror,

@joranelias @lizardbill I am simultaneously repulsed and yet, attracted

codinghorror,

@JasonPunyon @joranelias @lizardbill Jason I have to admit this may actually be the first truly funny thing you have ever said.

This graphic novel asks the hard question: is a cult necessarily a bad thing? SPOILER: MOST OF THE TIME YES. But not always. That's the human condition. Strong recommend: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1945509635

codinghorror,

@kfanyo @zeh graphic novel has always meant just that, a story told with pictures, like a giant comic book. I'm not aware of "graphic novel" meaning "graphic sex" in my lifetime, at least. That's a bit like saying "adult education center" means.. uh.. sex? like "adult movies"? It's just.. not correct IMO.

it's so weird how call of duty mw3 disabled chat at the end of the game. Maybe there was too much smack talk? I can't even say gg now.

codinghorror,

@Nerdfest @Cmastication 100% agree but it's dead. They aren't going to evolve or improve it. It's "legacy" :(

codinghorror,

@Cmastication yeah I get it but I send love at the end, because I build the world I want to see.

codinghorror,

@Cmastication it's amazing how being exceptionally kind can completely change the vibe in the "room" of the game. It works. I've done it. Many times. One guy literally asked me if I was a therapist. Maybe I am lol

I complained about this on the bird site, but man. Printers are still a nightmare, even after all these years. My pretty much brand new printer (6 months old?), unless I reboot it every time I use it, shows up as "USB connection error" in Windows. Every. Single. Time. But! If I reboot it first, it's fine.

@PenguinToot the day I use OS X willingly is the day they bury me in the ground.
