21·11 days agoThere are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.
By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.

Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail
I am very impressed about your directness and take charge attitude. Your approach of bring others in to help you accomplish your goals really speaks of future CEO material to me.

movies@piefed.social•Uwe Boll is rebooting the Alone in the Dark film franchise
9·1 month agoRampage was actually a good (if fucked up) movie.
Back when I had free time, I watched a lot of bad movies. Good bad (Tromeo and Juliet ) bad bad (BloodRayne). Just about everything of Boll’s falls into the second bucket, but Rampage is in neither. I don’t want to oversell this, but its an above average movie.

Havn’t bought one yet. Just eyeing my next project (realistically 2 projects from now). I narrowed down the Millennium cause I think I could get the most utility out of it. If I were to really do it how I would like Id need a pbx and thats a project Im definitely not willing to take on for some time.

movies@piefed.social•James Cameron And Robert Rodriguez Have ‘A Blood Oath’ To Make Alita 2: ‘We’re Making Progress’
3·2 months agoStarted rewatching it because of this comment. It’s an ok movie. Not great but not bad per se. The eyes are an aesthetic choice and fit in with the rest of the movie, don’t bother me.
Of course I’m a sucker for most scifi, I even consider Jupiter Ascending a guilty pleasure and watched both parts of Rebel Moon. Those are objectively bad movies. Oh, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Great guilty pleasure.
A movie doesn’t have to be great to be enjoyable.
yeah, but Im over here trying to figure out how to connect an old Nortel Millennium so that the display works for caller ID… (I want to put one of these in the garden)

Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk’s Grokipedia launches with AI-cloned pages from Wikipedia
2·3 months agoyeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

What are you talking about. the upper can brace against a backward force because it has steps behind him. The lower cant. Plus the lower has to lift their lance upward while the upper needs to lift it less. The high ground has a clear advantage here.
I had a friend tell me her strategy on unsolicited dick picks was to respond with pictures of other dicks in shoes. Often coupled with comments akin to ‘you couldn’t pull off these stilettos, but maybe you could try a kitten heel.’



Risotto isn’t complex per se, but 20-30 minute of stiring/babysitting isn’t exactly easy.
