I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

I heard something similar; the studio didn't think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to "battery". Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

My boss's favorite saying is to just make logical decisions.

I can't take him/her seriously because he/she is a Mormon and that's the least logical decision you can make.


The ramblings of an absolute madman. This is what they've been demanding your respect for.

Unfortunately it's burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.

One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances... Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).

A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.

To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they're saying "Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they're the best they will ever be"

A little bit of cultural linguistics going on really. Even though the texts are also calling OOP gay and queer, and doing so with the same amount of vitriol as with the f-slur, they aren't recognized as emotionally charged in the same way. All the other cursing is not hate speech per se as it's not directly targeting any immutable characteristics.

I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it's just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can't truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we'll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.

In 99 we only had crappy dialup and I didn't really know how to browse the web, even if I sort of understood the basics (and I would have been six, admittedly). My dad would look up cheat codes at work for games I was playing and download the Web page onto a floppy drive to bring home to me. It was wild times.

That to say, the infrastructure was all there, but it's hardly guaranteed as a kid that you're browsing the web and know where to find all the best glitches.

There is a single precedent I can think of, which is that with some regularity I see infants/newborns referred to as "it".

Some YouTubers I know who are trans or who have come out as trans since I started watching and are still doing their own thing: GameChamp3000 (game challenge videos and recently some trivia), DaThings (YTP style videos), Shammy/Joy (game review/critique), and probably a few others that aren't coming to mind right now. I'd argue Jim (Stephanie) Sterling hasn't really changed though trans issues do come up more often. I haven't watched Philosophy Tube recently but I do believe she still does videos on general philosophical concepts.

Hah, to be fair the guy is literally producing a movie. Honestly I think his semi regular content has taken dives a few times while he works on big projects, but YMMV whether it bothers you or not.

Maybe I started watching late but Weissman always kind of struck me as trying too hard on the comedy bits, but I don't mind because it is good knowledge nonetheless. My biggest issue is that he's a little on the pretentious side and he occasionally uses fancy/expensive/inaccessible ingredients or tools, but that's really just a personal problem for me.
