for real. people really mad about this movie. you watch it for the camp, fashion, soundtrack, wink the breakout star, and emma vs emma.

There is no such thing as a worthless degree.

Not necessarily. A lot of people live off of social security alone.

Counterpoint. Tropes are tools and anything should stay on the table. A good writer can make just about anything work. 

You’re missing the point about as much as it’s possible to by being anti-Oppressed Robots. It’s that people are actually trying to build AIs, now, for real. Even as our awareness and refusal to accept institutionalized racism grows, we’re still trying to create slaves that we think it’s OK to own because they’re not…

One final tip... PLEASE TRAIN on how to safely use your gun! So many people, even those with concealed carry permits, have fired less than a hundred rounds through their firearm, and most have never received formal and competent training beyond their concealed carry class, and even those often require little or no…

Some of us still teach.  And a lot of us hate what the organization has become.

every gun is loaded. i don’t care that you just checked.

Some excellent points. In addition, if you are going to make the decision to own a firearm, get some training. At the barest minimum, get trained in the safe handling and use of the gun you are purchasing.  It amazes me how many people buy a gun and then put it away with no idea how to operate it other than what they…

That was Dan!? Now I’m gonna have to go back and re-watch it to mentally substitute the miners takeover scene with Dan Dority and Seth Bullock. I really wish the bartender had gotten more lines, now.

On the other hand I’ve started watching mostly foreign Netflix series. There’s some great Norwegian and Swedish ones. There’s one Spanish police procedural that is so bad it’s good. 

According to your screenshot, Shaun the Sheep is now available as a profile icon! Let’s be serious — this is much more important news than the Netflix-mooching thing.

I think it is a big mistake to write off the idea of Trump winning again, even in a joking way. I was not shocked he won last time and won’t be if he does again...I will be sick, depressed, maybe even suicidal...but not shocked. Don’t put too much faith in polls...

The original Hummer was conceived as a way for civilians to play war, driving around a street-“friendly” version of the Humvee, a war machine used to plunder foreign lands for riches. The Humvee was an essential tool in the Iraq War, a disastrous conflict manufactured to grab control of oil. In a neat symmetry,…

that’s a good one. I also like Mr Money Mustache’s blog for good intro into the overall philosophy of FIRE.

I really like that there’s a link that deep-dives into it more. WB has been doing disclaimers like this for their classic cartoons for a while and I think it’s a solid solution to keeping art intact but contextualizing the racist overtones of its time.

Pluto could also be mentioned in the last slide as some odd/interesting content that is totally free. Like some other services listed here, it also has a slection of ‘live TV’ channels.

Kanopy for free US library card holders in many counties: free and thoughtful selections of movies, TV, documentaries and even lecture series and educational materials. Kanopy even has a FireTV app for watching on your home “big screen”.

To take a stab at it:
What you said is not untrue, but it’s also not irrelevant. The 80s was a time when a lot of the bad attitudes that are so corrosive to modern society were cemented. Things like “trickle down economics,” “greed is good,” and, yes, strongman attitudes towards solving problems. That was when America…

Any particular reason why you left Microsoft Teams out?
