jordanlund,

Great, now explain why you chose to adapt a book and completely ignore everything that made the book great…

Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.

Just an open world survival game, only you’re a cat, dealing with regular cat problems. You have to hunt, avoid larger animals, compete with other cats, figure out which humans are dangerous and which will give you treats, judiciously spray things to maintain your territory, maybe mate and reproduce (your sex and fertility...

jordanlund,

The opening of Stray was very much like that…

Elon Musk’s new xAI company launches to “understand the true nature of the universe” (www.theverge.com)

Elon Musk has launched a new AI company called xAI with the goal of understanding the true nature of the universe. The team at xAI includes AI researchers who have worked at companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and DeepMind. Little is known about xAI currently except that Musk seeks funding from SpaceX and Tesla to start it....

Democratic jitters grow over Cornel West’s third-party bid (thehill.com)

Cornel West recently announced he is running for president as a Green Party candidate, challenging President Biden in 2024. Some Democrats worry that West’s candidacy could split the progressive vote and help reelect Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee again, as Jill Stein’s campaign did in 2016. However, West has...

jordanlund,

LOL - Jill Stein had ZERO impact in 2016. The loss was all on Hillary failing to show up in Wisconsin and Michigan and talking smack about coal in Pennsylvania.

You can’t win if you take states for granted. Joe won all three of them and that put him over the top.

jordanlund,

Journey to the West from China. Story of Monkey, good stuff!

Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces amendment directing Biden to withdraw from Nato (www.independent.co.uk)

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. She argues that European countries are not reliable partners and are not paying their fair share of NATO obligations, while the U.S. pays around 4% of its...

jordanlund,

Remember when the dumbest ones were Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann?

To be honest, I couldn’t remember Bachmann’s name so I just Googled “tea party congresswoman idiot” and it was the first hit…

jordanlund,

2016 I mocked up a fake bumpersticker:

Palin/Bachmann 2016! It’s a no-brainer!

Where are all the good stealth games?

I’ve been trying to find one throughout the Steam summer sale and come up dry, and now I’m out of money until the 15th. Hopefully y’all can help me find a good one before the winter sale. Here’s a rundown of what I’ve tried so far and what I’ve liked and dislike about them:...

Cancel Amazon Prime [2021] (archive.ph)

Amazon Prime is a remarkable success but also dystopian. It has made convenience and speed the norm, habituating consumers to buy more products. Prime’s flywheel effect - where more customers lead to more data and scale which attracts more customers - has fueled Amazon’s dominance. Prime subscribers spend twice as much and...

jordanlund,

I bought in because of the free shipping, but I cancelled when the price went up.

Turns out, you can still get free shipping if you bundle your orders together and are willing to wait an extra day or two.

jordanlund,

I’m going to suggest some older shows, they may be hard to find on streaming, but they are on physical media:

NewsRadio:

Titus:

Better Off Ted:

“Our business is one hair away from complete collapse, our CEO is sick and can’t work, come save us!

$55K first year salary.”

jordanlund,

It really is not and the person who would do well in the position and save the company is likely already earning 2x that or more.

jordanlund,

They need to replace Johnny Depp… Coming soon! Edward Scissorhands: The Musical!

jordanlund,

I’m down for Barbie, but as much as I love and trust everyone involved with Oppenheimer, I know how it turns out. I don’t feel a pressing need to see it in a theater.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

jordanlund,

The big reason is updates. Phones will only get Android and security updates for so long. After that point, you buy a new phone or run the risk of being exposed.

jordanlund,

The last good Pixar movie was Coco (2017) and even that was a little predictable.

Before that you have to go all the way back to Brave (2012)? Toy Story 3 (2010)? Even 3 was starting the slide, it couldn’t touch Toy Story 2.

jordanlund,

I think you’ll find they hold on to it harder than you think. ;)

Some really good books on the topic everyone should read, super interesting stuff:

Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super-Rich–and Cheat Everybody Else

Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense and Stick You With The Bill

The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use “Plain English” to Rob You Blind

It’s not just my locality, it’s any locality more than, say 50-100 people.
