Not hard to see what’s really going on here. Nunes is worried that Trump is going to blame him for the stock price, and he’s trying to preemptively shift responsibility somewhere else.

Right, and that really is a big upside to digital media. Less waste, less carbon from trucking boxes of media to stores. Less carbon driving to the stores, less waste upgrading your player and all of that packaging and shipping, less waste when from spindles of blanks, etc etc 

The app isn’t the problem, it’s the CCPs control over the app that’s the problem....a very big problem.

Did you read the comment you were replying to?

This type of comment is why there needs to be an IQ test to vote.

all the domestic social networks do this just as much

The law requires ByteDance to divest from Tik Tok

Ugh. Of course they’ll still use it while it’s legal, because it’s still legal and they have a campaign to run.

I’m not sure what the point of this article is. We keep getting articles that avoid or elide real concerns about TikTok ownership and security concerns, but insist it’s Real Bad to do anything about it. And…

We should be funding NASA, not paying SpaceX.

Nah, Total Recall would require him to be a man of good taste.

We should also really be considering the ecological impact of physical media in an age where something gets bought, sits on a shelf its entire life just to signify that you’re into something, then gets thrown out at some point. There are better ways of giving money to artists.

Dude just dropped some mushrooms over the weekend and watched the OG Total Recall, about the taxis.

I was all in until the last season. The disgruntled worker thread and the Star City threads were not particularly interesting for me.

The facade is over. He’s a fucking carnival barker who was born into wealth and lucked into more. He merits attention not because he has anything brilliant to say, but because he believes himself to be brilliant and will act on that belief in unpredictable and potentially destructive ways.

Ideology is stupid. Ideologues are people who think they know the answer before they even know the questions.

I think part of it definitely is Garland’s desire not to offend potential viewers by making the bad guy a generic authoritarian that everyone, liberals and conservatives alike, can rebel against. But a big part of it, again, is that I don’t think Garland actually understands American culture, that any new civil war…

I can go with trying not to pick a side.

the Incel Camino has issues?

The irony of the stupid useless vanity project Cyber Truck being what kills Tesla is just too much to take. I’m not sure they’ll recover from this. Manufacturing it is already a disaster. Tesla’s famous quality control seems to have been even better this time around. The whole thing is a constant disaster. 

Then they need an editor.
