"Technology" as a concept? Of course not.

Algorithmically curated, corporate sponsored content promotion inside digital social echo chambers? Absolutely.

There's a guy who wipes down the loads.

Look, I get that she was wronged, but unless the defendant is Google or Microsoft, leveling damages like this is egregious and absurd.

That's a hair over 0.5% of Apple's net earnings 2022. They would literally need to hit with this kind of penalty 200 times a year to actually feel it.

This won't change a goddamn thing.

Personally, I think RED was his best series.

Right. It's a question of where the threshold is before we consider something dangerous enough to warrant a warning.

In fairness, cigarettes contain known carcinogens. You are ripping apart your DNA with every dart. Can the same be said for having a few drinks a week?

I say this as someone who's never taken a single drag or had even a drop of alcohol (cooking notwithstanding).

Hot damn. That's how you do it!

Part of "prohibitively expensive" would mean that such financing arrangements would not be legal.

That settles it, I'm throwing all my investments into Orville Reddenbacher.

I use it regularly (web dev). A lot of complaints and mockery stems from using it badly. None of the programming languages that are regularly the butt of everyone's jokes force you to use them badly, they just allow you to. If you follow good practices, you'll be just fine.

what am I missing?

That fleeing the scene of a collision is an offence in and of itself. Fault doesn't play into it.

No, it probably wouldn't have happened in the first place, because the driver of a sensibly-sized car can see things that are less than fifty fucking feet ahead of the dash.

Monstrous behemoths like this should be prohibitively expensive to own for personal use and/or be restricted to industrial/ag use only. Fuck your camping or hauling one chair or whatever the fuck you do twice a year. You can rent for something that seldom.

I'm with you here. I'm beyond tired of this immediate branding of people as wholely disregardable because they have some unsavoury opinions. People can simultaneously hold good and bad opinions. You're not a bad person for agreeing with an idea held by someone you mostly disagree with.

Tom Cruise is a culty weirdo, but he's also a phenomenal actor, so we like his movies. In all likelihood, Hitler enjoyed sandwiches, but that doesn't mean sandwiches are bad.

Follow ideas for their own sake. The idea that Hollywood pumps out a lot of garbage is correct and agreeable no matter who says it.

Save the Cat! formula

Huh. I've never heard of this before. I played through The Matrix in my head while reading a Save The Cat guide and it's strikingly accurate.

Maybe we just need to let Hollywood do the AI thing for a while so people can see how creatively bankrupt the execs are.

I don't think this will end like you think it will. Last time we had a writer's strike, we got reality "reality" TV, a cursed genre that continues to grow more popular and more vapid than ever.

This works until all the OEM's jump on the malicious malfunction gravy train.

Oh, but I guess totally okay to blackmail men because they're disposable

And here I thought pansexual meant you really like cookware.

I knew I couldn't be the only one who noticed the type face.
