I just have never been impressed with Anthony Mackie. He’s always kind of been a mediocre actor which is fine if you’re in a side character role, but he doesn’t stand up to playing the star character. I’m convinced his performance in the second season of Altered Carbon is why it got cancelled, because that first season was some excellent sci-fi and the lead in that season was good and most importantly convincing. Mackie fell flat.

So him suddenly being the new captain America is…lol. What did marvel think was going to happen here. It’s like that second black panther movie where that antivax lady became the star character. Thrust into the lead role and the movie fell apart.

Anything with Mackie in it will suffer the same fate. I hope this proves me wrong though

This is why I don’t update Nvidia drivers unless there’s a fix I need. If it’s stable, that’s all I want.

Family has been using this for years now

I pay for kagi because it’s genuinely less frustrating to use than searxng, duckduckgo, bing, and whatever shit Google is up to these days.

They’re fine search engines but after years of using them I found they annoyed me sometimes; their limitations will surface if you use them long enough. In contrast, I haven’t ran into a kagi search results page yet that has annoyed me by not finding what I expected to see.

The problem is that Google was good for a long time and then that became the bar everything is measured against. None of the free ones I tried came as close to that Google-like search from the before times as this paid service does.

I wouldn’t last long if I tried for a daily regimen, I’d fail so hard by maybe Saturday of week 1

For me, it’s 1-2 times a week for 3-6 mile day hikes. Gives me something to look forward to later which is important because it’s mildly addictive to get out and away from concrete and people. I savor it more when structured like that and it’s easier to keep the habit going.

Not to say one habit is better or whatever. But maybe if daily isn’t sustainable for you, mix it up

If the roads are okay to drive, definitely going out for a hike today. It keeps me sane

Nice

The I’m sorry Jon variant is a better read

I want to apologize to you guys. I’m sorry you’re forced to suffer for my country’s stupidity voting in this dipshit. You don’t deserve this.

I do love that your government is clapping back against the bully, because only terrible things follow when you appease fascists.

But it’s regular Canadians getting squeezed in the middle as a consequence. For both our sakes I hope this ends soon

The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals

The scope is thankfully limited only to CDC scientists.

Not that this makes it good news by any stretch.

This is going to push research money squarely under the thumb of corporate control, which is of course the aim here. Privatize everything.

I do know scientists hate having their work paywalled or censored so I’d expect sci-hub to get a lot more popular real quick, but many will definitely self censor their official publications to keep their jobs til orange hitler shoots himself in a bunker somewhere.

Yellow star is so last world war.

It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around

No better way to get people who used to voluntarily give you money to give you more money than threatening them.

I think the endgame is to tear down anything tax dollars have touched. Which, you know, is plausible since his entire platform could be simply summed up as a giant middle finger.

Expect them to attempt to torch more than our science databases

American here.

I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us

I wouldn’t count on it.

But that’s been my strategy lately, setting the bar for expectations so low it’s in hell. That way I am never surprised, and it’s appalling how many news headlines have been limbo-ing their way under that in recent times.

This article is framed in a way that makes it sound hopeful, but this bit kind of ruins the whole thing

saying they saw or did things that crossed ethical lines

Emphasis mine.

So basically we have child murderers who regret doing it because now they’re haunted by the spectre of their atrocities. At best we have guys who stood by while watching their coworkers murder children which isn’t really better, just less evil.

What’s the game plan if they did?

Trade restrictions?

China already proved those did fuck all to stop them from developing their own model.

Ducking knew this ai bubble would burst sooner or later, just glad we can finally get on with it now.

Bit confusing of a title. Sixth sense guy won against the lady who sued him for 81 million for copying original elements such as a woman holding a doll, and fainting.

Basically a troll looking for a payday, and she lost

French supreme court*

Sure sure. Just happens to glitch on Inauguration Day for orange Mussolini as zuck and the other social media heads are in the audience. Totally a coincidence.
