So... I work in digital media and this is actually just the tip of the iceberg. Let me walk you through exactly what I do on a daily basis (except to sell food).

I had a rather deep-but-also-shallow conversation with a friend not so long ago, and we ended up agreeing on/with the idea that AI that are not specifically meant to titillate should probably not be human. Clippy was ahead of his time. It sounds like a joke, but we will only avoid popularly sexualizing AI when their…

That would potentially make you more vulnerable in this case. The tracker could still report its location using someone else’s phone that happens to be in the vicinity and you would no longer receive an alert that a tracker is following you.

Great. Fuck ‘em both. In my dreams, this ends like Death Becomes Her with the two of them continually disfiguring each other and then spackling themselves back together.

Yes, the double standard. When Republicans act racist, Democrats call for their resignation. When Republicans are accused of sexual assault/harassment, Democrats call for their resignation. And when Democrats commit those same offenses, Democrats . . . call for their resignation.

It’s amazing to me that adults are often treated with less agency than kids.

Terry is an Ex football player who has clearly kept up the training routine of an athlete in his peak.
And yet, he is acting in the most effective way possible to bring this crisis to light and in front of the entire world. The fact that he’s using the power of his voice and mind is more terrifying to sexual predators…

He made a rhetorical point not a threat.

Get that straw man outta hear before someone sets that on fire.

I don’t think his views stem from a lack of understanding of the science at hand - I think they stem from him trying to use science to justify the empirical fact that he’s a racist, misogynist douchebag.

On those environmental factors....lead.  All the goddamn lead.  

I agree with this part of your comment:

My Toyota’s doors unlock when shifted to park. I never get locked out but I’m always worried about non-existent black men wanting to rape my Big Handsome ass.

“Hey guys, just do crime, okay?”

I’ve seen it three times now. Twice in the theaters, and once on Netflix. Each time I go into it apprehensive, each time... I love it. It rules. Is it flawed? Sure. But it so overcomes its deficits with some amazing stuff.

But man am I tired of arguing with some of my friends about it.

I still love the movie for how it broke the formula of Star Wars movies. Legends are perfect, people are fallible. The Jedi were deified, but they were blind to the dark side taking hold under their noses. Obi-wan failed Anakin, just as Anakin’s son more clearly failed Ben. Unable to live up to his own legend and,…

Hated it, saw it, liked it, watched it again, loved it, watched it a third time, still love it but definitely aware of its flaws.

Regardless of how one feels about TLJ, I think we can all agree that KMT in no way deserved to be attacked the way she was. One can dislike a character without harassing their portrayer.

It doesn’t matter WHO she killed. She was a minor at the time and should have gone to juvie or a mental health facility, not prison.

I think that if she was white and/or male, she would have gotten 90 days. I’m totally serious. Our justice system is lopsided for people of color and it’s not right to just accept that…

Idk if Todd Howard could get up on stage and try to sell people on another game after this mess.
