I’m taking off.

Yes

I know my job is very important and I’m proud of my work. That said, I’m also burnt out.

I could probably delete LinkedIn and still walk into several companies to get a job.

It is still good for me to have it out there as a public facing version of me.

The US is currently spending billions on an illegal war with Iran. It is hard to say with a straight face that we don’t have enough money for space exploration and social programs when we spend our money on that.

Years of practice from spammers and others.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

Someone is going to have to plan the trip, still. Are you planning it? Is the retired family friend planning it?

How are the two of you talking about planning the trip together? Have you two discussed what the two of you want out of the trip? Does your friend know that one of the reasons you picked Vietnam was to drink, meaning they may end up with a hungover roommate?

Also, 45 days is a lot of time to be around someone. Plan activities where you two can be apart.

Given his script caveats to get him to star, you’re right.

Movies are going to go away because either no one has the attention span for them or they want a full season of prestige television.

I disagree with 4. Nic Cage is a great actor, he just isn’t going to give a subdued method actor style of performance.

I look at it more that Denis made a lot of choices to remove a lot of the more esoteric elements to fit that it was a movie and a sequel made years later. A lot was removed from the book, but it still feels well paced for two movies.

And if you’re going to make significant cuts, you might as well cut out the really weird shit.

It is also a case where AI is contributing to a greater human act of creativity. It is one step above a character creation screen.

I’ll put it at a 2. The only way that I have seen AI go beyond a 1 has been when used by people without a talent in art use AI art as a way to assist in visually telling their story, like using it to help their D&D campaign or to provide the visuals for a comic book.

There is still a creative vision using AI. It just happens to be by someone without an artistic talent.

We’re getting Guantanamo Bay if we are lucky.

No. Love could be communicated at minimum as text message.

Either Bad Lieutenant.

The devs seem happy with Lenny not growing and the numbers seem to indicate that Lemmy isn’t growing unless brought on by an external source.

Some people do it because of the cost of living differential. If pay in the city is over three times what you could make local, you might be incentivized to take a long commute and deal with it.
