I am the walrus
Donny, The Big Lebowski
Is this the Steve Buscemi quotes part of the thread? Because if it's not it should be.
There's just something enticing to me about the "man vs. nature" theme when it comes to an alien planet's flora and fauna, which both Pitch Black and Riddick offer in spades. I can understand why you like it for the reasons you laid out, I just found the world building and politics boring myself.
Also, Riddick has Katee Sackhoff while Pitch Black has Keith David.
I feel like Chronicles of Riddick is the weakest of the three Riddick films personally. Very big on world building but feels like a slog compared to Pitch Black or Riddick.
Sorry, added the film title. Fight Club.
Jet fuel can't melt real dreams.
Immediately get really fuckin annoyed that Linux is only in its sixth year of development and I still don't know enough about programming to start developing for it to speed up the process of getting it to how I am used to it today.
On the other hand, though, start magically knowing a bunch of zero day exploits with zero research because of learning about doing these old ones in cybersecurity classes.
Nah mainly still being annoyed at how much tech has regressed. I'm spoiled by FLAC music and 4K video.
Try not to let the women I loved slip away and then inevitably lose them in entirely new ways I am sure. How do you even try to recreate the original conditions without inevitably changing them?
I'm not sure how badly I want to experience it all again with how bad it's getting.
Oh and maybe get famous as a mystic who can see the future for things like where Saddam is hiding. And get those Saddam memes started a lot sooner.
It doesn't get better than JC Denton in Deus Ex.
Fight me.
Yeah the idea that they can't just start deleting shit because someone told them "no" is just dumb. If they want it gone, they'll torch it as fast as they can. I wouldn't be surprised if the library of congress was already on the chopping block planner.
I feel like these people aren't even really worried about superintelligence as much as hyping their stock portfolio that's deeply invested in this charlatan ass AI shit.
There's some useful AI out there, sure, but superintelligence is not around the corner and pretending like it is acts just another way to hype the stock price of these companies who claim it is.
Sure, but it's also very likely that reddit is still retaining all posts even "deleted" ones in their database. I can go look at the profiles of people who haven't used their accounts in 12 years. I can use Arctic Shift to view posts and comments that users have deleted themselves... even from deleted accounts! All the data is still there. That's why a few years ago when people were deleting accounts it was widely suggested to edit every comment into gibberish before deletion, so the final edit in the database would be worthless. I remember when there were extension tools to do it like NukeReddit that changed everything to gibberish and then deleted it for you all automatically. Those tools had stopped working by the time the exodus due to the API changes happened.
Anyway, I wouldn't past that fucking pile of shit Steve Huffman to just be passing it off to Palantir because he's such a little bitch.
Do not get the subtitled version. I know this is the opposite of what you usually want for a foreign film, but trust me on this one.
The English Dub for this film is absolutely unhinged and great.
I've been trying to find a list of the English voice actors for a very long time because I swear I recognize several voices from my Saturday morning cartoons in the 90's. (Most notably one of the young Shaolin boys that Hung Man Ting befriends)
Starring:
Ten years before Kung Fu Hustle, Jet Li starred in this comedic action film which sports a lot of elements of what you might call a "Live Action Anime."
As shown in the animated GIF above, the film starts off on full-blast with a Shaolin plus a baby fight. (and of course catbox.moe is down so the GIF isn't loading now, d'oh!)
This would be the first of two films Jet Li would star alongside Miao Xie as a father/son fighting duo, followed by My Father is a Hero / The Enforcer (1995). The Enforcer is a much more serious film than New Legend of Shaolin, and in my opinion New Legend of Shaolin is just a way more fun film.
The entire film really feels cartoony and over-the-top. Every step of the way it gets weirder until it results in an absolutely insane climax and ending.
Savage, and true, in the case of that film.
But Jeff Goldblum is still alive, so you've got that going for you, in that universe.
