The funny thing is pets.com and WebVan were way ahead of their time. But who sells groceries and pet food online? …Amazon. the fucking bookstore does.

No one could have guessed that’s how things would have turned out, however, it is clear that people follow the hype and forget how to run a business and make profit. Amazon was doing it fine, others weren’t.

I am guessing Nvidia will still be around and OpenAI might collapse. They talk about being profitable “next year” every year. They are burning investor cash. Nvidia has been a solid company since before and will be after.

Anthropic, I don’t know. But these companies so many people see as the top of the food chain probably aren’t.

It still is, unless you’re conservative. They fight long and hard to keep their grindr activity behind closed doors where their wives can’t see them play.

I’d vibe with Morrigan tbh, probably a cool as fuck Raven goddess, likely misunderstood and wrongfully feared.

She’s literally just saying that you should make sure every day has at least a moment you take for you, and I trust she’d know how important that is

Yeah that looks dangerous as fuck… He’s basically transferring all the energy of his legs pushing into however big the end of that arrow is, and right at the back of his skull.

I hope that bow is actually really loose and it just looks funny but people are dumb as fuck

I think it really does boil down to capitalism. Nostalgia sells really fucking well, and there are big wigs in suits that realized comic books were basically a gold mine in movie scripts and merch.

But also there’s a factor in that the production value, expected costs and revenue rose dramatically for all this stuff. Movies cost so much to make now because they want to maximize profit.

And they realized that betting on some author’s weird new story was risky, even if it was a good story. But X-Men? Everyone has heard of them. It’s way less risky to invest in brands that already exist and are popular.

I think it’s more that investors/producers are risk averse, and they want something guaranteed to be known and seen before they throw millions at it.

It’s not just nerds make and spend money, but nerds are very loyal to their brands, and these fucks only know how to sell brands.

Nah, looks like this thing has too many body holes, and the belly button wouldn’t be there.

By abductee reports those things can be smooth as barbie dolls, more like remote control biological androids/cyborgs.

Well, except they split them between the tall and short kind. These appear way too tall to fit the small android version. They don’t say as much about the tall greys.

Third eye, probably trying to draw telepathy

One last look at the glowing mass that could’ve been so many beautiful paperclips

Sex bots being deployed as public school teachers is so fucked up even fiction authors wouldn’t touch it.

Like ffs this is so dystopian it’s one of those things they don’t put in the history movie 200 years later because it’s unbelievable

“here is your pizza shaped protein mush”

Filed away in my colon

chow tape flutter is a great VST for this. Lots of music uses effects like this.

this fucking goon

It’s planned obsolesence. They make more money by marketing high tech/luxury stuff and having it break on purpose in a defined amount of time.

I got some Carhartt “worker” jeans, advertized as nice jeans for manual laborers.

I work from home in my home office. The crotch tore in less than 6 months of hard… sitting.

Expensive shit they want you to buy over and over again because they think you’re an idiot. I learned to sew, learned to darn my nice wool socks that tore predictably in 6 months, repair and maintain my motorcycle, repair my plumbing, because fuck all this enshittification.

My new MO is to buy your shit once, and either i will say your brand is great or keep wearing my torn/repaired carhartt jeans and keep reminding people never to buy them unless they want to learn how to sew. Fuck these greedy pieces of shit.

ive seen þat several places. Apparently the german printing press didnt add it so it fell out of use.

I think it would confuse people tbh because there’s þ and ð.

ðis is soft, like breaðe

þat isnt, like þink

th replaced boð

lol no i’m not at all making a point about freedom being bad. No idea how you got that.

i feel like way more people should learn to meditate because this level of brainrot addiction is disturbing.

Yes i released Moriarty – and that’s totally on me

i have so many protocols to represent the most common fractions perfectly without needing more than just ONE bit. They even work with positive and negative infinity!

The trick is to first negotiate the protocol youre using.

protocol schema 1/2

1 bit, little endian

if one: value is exactly 1/2

If zero: value is NOT one half

Schema 1/3

if one: value is 1/3
