It’s a movie based on the true story of someone who was good enough at Gran Turismo he got a shot at becoming a race car driver. It’s a movie based on a story about the game and not on the game itself.

The first few episodes were fun and character-driven. Then the show remembered it was an MCU show, so they introduced a half-baked villain so they can have a bad CGI final battle.

Looks looks a fun popcorn movie.

Ah, yes. The code word for “it’s gonna suck balls”.

As opposed to actual fun popcorn movies like Guardians or Ragnarok that never get called that.

Intergalactic is pretty overused in movie trailers, but that was the shittiest take on the song I’ve ever heard. It’s barely recognizable.

I have to believe he wanted to do something of a “suicide by enemy fire.” No way he was up for the kind of detainment and “enhanced interrogation” they’re gonna put him through.

Honestly, I’m just back to multiple apps. I work with people from all over, so I have like 7 different apps. Ah well.

I’ve been using it for a while. I stopped.

My two issues were security concerns because Beeper needs to unencrypt my data from all platforms to re-encrypt it to send it to me, which sounds like a huge single point of failure; and regular connection issues where I had to switch back to the original app.

Great concept, but not quite there yet.

He’s not warning of AI controlling nuclear weapons. He’s speaking of the development of nuclear weapons as a cautionary tale that applies to the current development of AI: that, like the scientists who built the bomb, current AI researchers might one day wake up terrified of what they have created.

Whether current so-called AI is intelligent (I agree with you it isn’t by most definitions of the world) doesn’t preclude the possibility that the technology might cause irreparable harm. I mean, looking at how Facebook algorithms have zeroed in on outrage as a driving factor of engagement, it’s easy to argue that the algorithmic approach to content delivery has already caused serious societal damage.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He’s not wrong; he’s just not on the side he thinks he is.

I treat them as sports team insofar as I hope that the stadium catches on fire and collapses on both of them in the middle of the match.

I think you’re right. And I think NATO wants Russia to completely commit to a war they can’t win until the government collapses and/or rethinks its global strategy.

I have to believe this is just posturing for the people at home on the part of Zelenskyy. He has to know immediate membership of Ukraine into NATO means direct war with Russia leading to nuclear escalation, as Ukraine would immediately invoke Article 5.

Just saying “Ukraine will be invited to NATO once the conflict is over” is enough; it means whatever territory Russia gets to keep over the course of this conflict is it, because then Ukraine becomes NATO territory. It forces Russia to try and win it all (which they can’t) because there won’t be another invasion of Ukraine.

Oh, I see! I misread the article. Good news!

It sounds like Erdogan is saying this is conditional on the EU reopening talks about Turkiye joining. Is that even happening?
