They named their AI “the cat”?

Barb: 2 come first, gooder!!

While you are correct, and xitter is essentially the social media arm of the government now, i believe that that doesn’t legally mean that it’s owned by the government.

gotta say, not a huge fan of using obvious “AI” art to promote this.

And yet when Netflix was good the amount of people who pirated went down a ton. I was on that train. Just give me a service that isn’t outrageously expensive, has most of the content i want, and is more convenient than pirating and I’ll do it, as long as i have an income.

Ooh a double reference, fancy!

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he’s said about such things.

Along with most of the other exec. orders he signed.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

That’s a fair point, i can absolutely see Gandalf the Grey justifying with something like “there is more evil in this world than just Sauron”.

Gandalf wouldn’t even still be there, since he was only there to aid in the fight against Sauron. He’d have gone off to Valinor shortly after Sauron’s defeat, together with the rest of the elves. And there’d be no Aragorn to be a good pal and extend the good lifespans of the realms of Men, so Gondor would never get a new king and the realms of Men would likely fall to evil a bit into the third age.

Rules are rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LoL is not a company, the creator and owner of it is Riot Games.

i doubt they’d have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.

The twilight movie series. I’ve watched the entire thing at least 3 times, still love it. Meme scenes aside, they’re actually quite nice

Not that i engage in this particular variety myself, but this kind of activity typically gets more fun the deeper you dive in. I generally only watch esports, but the more i care about the outcome of a game, and the more i understand of the game, the more fun it is to watch. I can think of no better way of caring more about a game than siding absolutely with one of the teams and betting money on their victory.

Why choose just one? i have a list in wallpaper engine that’s like 150 images long that cycles through.
