All I could picture reading that last paragraph was Mac and Charlie making a fight milk commercial.

I keep thinking about the first ep of Battlestar Galactica (2004) where everything in the ship is hard wired and closed-circuit and realizing that that’s more like what my personal sci-fi future is going to look like.

Know what’s better than learning something? Learning a second way to do it. Learning cursive has more benefits than simply being able to read/write it.

Kid’s brains are sponges and multiple studies over the years all show a direct correlation with learning more/varied things at an early age drastically increases the ability to keep learning later in life.

Like the thing you’re sarcastically saying Biden would never do

I’m not sure they meant Biden would never do that. I got the impression they were saying if he did, imagine the meltdown from the maga crowd who are currently cheering it because it’s “their side”. Basically if a Dem gov’t did pretty much anything the Trump gov’t is doing they’d have a huge problem with it but since it’s their team they’re good with it.

He’s increasing it to 1.5tr in 2027 instead.

Danielle Smith already sorted this for you though, Albertans don’t need public education anymore. All she had to do was label CO2 a "foundational nutrient for all life on Earth” and bam! No longer a pollutant. Easy-peasy.

This is where I’m leaning. I tried Matrix years ago and just couldn’t get my brain around it, but it looks like it’s time to revisit it.

Thankfully the Rock’s remake seems to have been scrapped (fingers crossed it stays that way), so Big Trouble in Little China (hence my name).

I’d also say The 'Burbs (one of my favorites) but it just got a series.

He also recently mentioned about his new Netflix movie that Netflix said “it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.”

I’m doing what I can, as small an impact as it has. I’ve become much more aware of what I buy, use, and consume. I’ve begun to repair things instead of just buying new replacements, I don’t buy American whenever possible, and I don’t use any AI at all. I’ve completely cut out Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Reddit, any streaming service and any social media except the Fediverse, and of course nothing from Musk.

However, the biggest impact I’ve been able to make has been getting a couple people to re-think what they consume from fascist-enabling big tech companies. Small wins.

Riker: “The line isn’t centre! Your side is bigger!”

Picard:

That suggests things will get better for the next generations. It’s not looking like it’s anything you’ll have to worry about.

It’s being set up so he can divorce her without his “Christian” base getting upset. He’ll pull some bs about “no longer being able to live in sin after trying and failing to save her soul” in the lead up to 2028 then hook up with Kirk.

Haha same! I’m around 9 months in now tho so it’s evened out. Now I just silently judge haha

I wish it was higher as well but unfortunately it’s not surprising. These things seem to fall into the same average, and not just the US, it’s in Canada too; one-third is rational, one-third is irrational, and one-third is apathetic.

It’s insane that in Canada it takes me $400-$600 a month for 1 person to eat basic, but non-processed food. 2 meals a day, basic breakfast of eggs and a meat with maybe cheese, and a dinner of a protein and veg and maybe rice. I cook everything from scratch including bread and use everything, like bones for broth, etc. It’s getting impossible for low income Canadians to even hope to eat relatively healthy, but at least the shareholders get bonuses every year…

The ability to solve your own problems.

IMO, critical thinking is the single most important skill a human can learn. Teach a man to fish and all that.

Surprised I didn’t see this quote yet:

“Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” ― Edward Snowden

“If I had taken the GPUs that just came online in Q1 and Q2 in terms of GPUs and allocated them all to Azure, the KPI would have been over 40,” she said.

“If I had bet on black instead of red I would have won”
