At what point does the AI just write the script, build actors and environments for it, "shoot"/render the movie, advertise it, and send it out without any human interaction? Will the movies of the future just all be animated? Would definitely be far cheaper than buying equipment, paying staff, and renting locations.

Or Pixel Perfect, the classic Disney Channel Original Movie.

Oftentimes EU device laws affect other markets because it's easier to send the same device everywhere than to design and produce a separate one just for Europe.

Really, this is a great example as to why "intelligence" and "`wisdom" are two entirely separate things.

Movies are getting really long and I don't know if I like it. I watched Across the Spider-verse recently which was I think 2.5 hours. To be fair it was a fantastic 2.5 hours, but every other movie in the theater was 2 hours plus and one was over 200 minutes long. Half of them were animated, which are usually on the short side and for good reason, because there's never any real meat to the story (Spider-verse again being the exception). Sometimes you just want a relaxed 1 hour 20 minute story; not every film has to be this gigantic grand experience.

Forty thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of human potential.

Here you go.

Here you go.

People complain in the comments about it falling off and breaking the mirror. I can attest the base does pop off after maybe a month or two of daily use. If you remove the mirror when you aren't using it and re-suction every once in a while it's really not an issue. It's a bit unrealistic to be asking for an infinite suction cup. Materials admittedly feel cheap but it's only $20. Just don't put the base above anything it would damage if it pops off on you.

Shower mirror. It has a base that suctions to the wall and a reservoir that you fill with hot water so that it doesn't fog. I had no idea how much better it was than shaving at the sink. If I'm in a hurry I'll sink shave but I love shower shaving and I love that mirror.

Edit: Here's the one I use. No major complaints, just remove the mirror between uses and re-suction every once in a while.

Check if your monitor is VESA compatible and buy a monitor with that brack if it is. Don't cheap out, you'll want to spend at least $100 for quality arms IMO.

Also, make sure your table is strong enough that it won't warp - you're going to be putting a lot of weight in a small area. It ended up warping my IKEA desk but I didn't mind since I got it second-hand. You can put a block of wood between the clamp and the table to distribute the stress and keep the clamp from leaving a mark as well.

Because apparently editing text is the opposite of writing a tweet, lol.

This one I can absolutely agree with. Takes an extra couple seconds when you're changing sheets but you will never have to redo the corners ever again.

However, I haven't been needing them since I started using Threshold sheets from Target. The corners are deep and have a ton of stretch. Of course I keep the suspenders around for when I need them because they're so small that the footprint is negligible.

Guys, this is some seriously weak bait, block and move on.

It doesn't matter what the political situation is

You seem like an idealist, which I have some respect for, but you also have to account for reality. And the reality is, we don't really vote for individual candidates anymore. We vote for one party or the other to have an additional vote. Elected politicians hardly ever vote outside of their party anymore. It's not ideal but it is reality. If you vote for multiple candidates of different political parties, you're just making noise.

This is so hilariously uneducated to the current political situation that I really hope you're arguing in bad faith instead of just that stupid.

It allows them to rule on cases based only on what they legitimately believe to be the correct decision.

I wish I was this blissfully ignorant.

When you don't actively kick out the terrible people in your group, you are making a choice to say "this is something I am willing to tolerate." So I'll ask, if you are a conservative and recognize that there are bad actors in your conservative party, are you calling out those bad actors? Or just putting your head down and joining rank and file because your party told you to?

Also I noticed from my previous serious relationships that my girlfriends would tend to agree with my point of view after some time.

Did they enthusiastically agree or just stop challenging you when you started talking about it?

Your very first step should be therapy/medication. We're all just randos on the internet and won't be able to give the same personalized treatment as someone who spent the better part of a decade studying this stuff.

Healthy habits will also help. Just 2 hours of walking total in a week makes a huge difference. You can carve out 20 minutes a day and take one day off a week, or do it all in one go on a nature hike. Cut out alcohol entirely if possible, it's literally poison and exacerbates mental health issues. Sleep at least 6 hours, cut down on processed junk.

Beyond that I recommend finding local social spaces, like a board game shop, and going there when you feel ready. You could reach out to the owners and see if any special accommodations can be made. The hardest part will be walking in the door - the trick I use is to tell myself I'll just stick around for 1 hour (30 minutes, 5 minutes, whatever you are able) and then leave if I'm having a bad time.

Aside from that, focus on making friends first and often a relationship will organically grow from there. I won't pretend that it's easy, but it's absolutely possible. You are deserving of love and acceptance just as much as anybody else.

Oops I mean your friend lol.

Lol are the goalposts so far gone that we are trying to imply hate speech just isn't a thing that exists anymore? They didn't say what was classified as hate speech, just that it is definitely on Twitter. If you don't believe there's hate speech on Twitter, well... I'd offer to sell you the Golden Gate Bridge but I don't want to take advantage of such low cognitive ability.
