I always include the rider because the picture of the bike is on the street. A bike or motorcycle on a street is “everything I do not want to hit”.

That’s interesting… bold move though. I can think of MANY failed 3rd person mobas.

Genuinely it almost feels like a clone or a mod. Although really overwatch 2 seems to be in such a terrible spot that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was purposeful.

that, that just adds more questions.

No, I think the comic is making you think about the system at large. It’s not the anchors that are the problem. Anybody in any position can be where she is.

You could be getting tons of money… not to produce anything or to improve the world, but to maintain power for an upper echelon. It could be a lawyer, it could be an influencer, it could be a pundit, a politician, a programmer, a security guard, a military contractor. There’s this idea that a large paycheck is because you deserve it, because you are providing what’s needed. In reality a high paycheck can be given to you because you’re part of a problem that someone wants you to maintain.

Perhaps the main use for technology is increasing the amount of inequality society can tolerate without collapse. I can’t fix inequality – that just seems to be what the humans want.

However by investing in surveillance technology, computer vision, and AI I could perhaps help our society to bear unbounded amounts of inequality indefinitely, without collapse. Social collapse is a less-than-zero-sum game, whereas an unequal society is still generally more-than-zero-sum. So I posit that the latter is objectively better.

… Are you suggesting that we increase inequality to make the world better? Like we need an overlord, be it robot or human, and the rest of the population needs to be placated, worked to the bone, and easily replaced?

I gotta assume I am just vastly misunderstanding something in this argument, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. Is it just sarcastic?

Borderlands 2, Krieg was an intriguing character but as a class generally sucked. His ult was a melee only mode which… doesn’t mesh with a game about COLLECTING GUNS. They also introduced Gaige. Her class worked better in the game, although very gimicky, lore wise she was basically a more sane Tiny Tina.

Like… genuinely a series or a movie about him sounds cool… but… I don’t think they’re gonna show him off like that link. How is an internal monologue supposed to work if only one of the 4 hear it? It can’t work while sharing a spotlight.

Also I can’t remember if it’s official or cannon but

I mean, I understand leaving out Brick. Both Roland and Brick are not… bastions of dialogue. Both combined could be a bit much in a film. Even though he’s a fascinating character. Mordecai confuses me more. He seems like a much better straight man (comedy term, not the orientation) than Roland or Brick, and if he operates like a sniper then he makes a great diagetic narrator to move dialogue and scenes because he operates as the scout from range. Granted the CG for the bird will probably cost.

I’m sure a good chunk was they wanted more Tiny Tina, and then they added Kreig just for the reveal moment which is… a lot of dedicated screen time just to create a moment. Seeing as he barely had any time in the trailer… clearly he doesn’t shine in this film.

Oh it’s easy, they just googled “Roland voice lines” and he sounds like a perfect role for Kevin heart.

Could he pull off the borderlands 2 Roland intro? I don’t think so, but I’ve been surprised before.

What really has me saddened is the whole pisswater gully bit. Tiny Tina is a native of pandora, Roland and Lilith are not (to my knowledge). So if anything, the roles should have been entirely reversed because:

1. It makes more sense.

2. It’s way funnier.

Which means they’re messing with backstory of the characters to match… nothing. Because it doesn’t seem to make the writing better, and it differs from the original. It would also match Tiny Tina’s character so much better and mitigate the annoying whiny child part of the character that is just SHINING through this trailer.

point #1

No, it wasn’t. We didn’t keep the secret. USSR successfully stole secrets. They also knew we were up to an atomic bomb. I don’t know why you think they didn’t.

Point #2

Imagine if someone told you that Europeans never went back to the New World after Columbus.

That would be ridiculous because there was good free unclaimed land. While it’s never explicitly said, free unclaimed land requires oxygen, food, and water. Otherwise it’s not land you can live on, it’s land you can work on while someone keeps you alive.

We should have the Moon setup like it was in the Sam Rockwell movie: Moon by now.

Why? In the arctic we can measure the weather of the poles, study long term isolation of humans. We don’t need to provide water or air, transportation is cheap compared to the moon. The marianas trench allows us to study formation of the earth, genetics of crazy offshoots of earth biology. Evacuation procedure is UP, taking hours. Moon trip is 6 days round trip, can’t be cancelled or evacuated. Both are drops in the bucket in price vs the moon.

With the moon you can… well what? A telescope could be awesome but if you’re going that far you could also just drop one off at a Lagrange point of the earth. Mining sounds great until you realize that bringing the resources home require either an entire manufacturing hub on the moon to launch resources at earth. You won’t see returns for decades, any fuck up could ruin it all. Telescopes are unmanned, so drop it somewhere and it lasts as long as it lasts.

I believe the moon landing was faked.

• The USSR acknowledged that we made it, there’s no reason for them to lie.

• We plopped retroreflectors on the moon, so you can shoot lasers at them and bounce them back.

• multiple groups were able to track the missions via radio transmissions, which isn’t someone saying “oh look they said they’re in space so they must be” It’s mutiple locations saying. “I’m recieving this signal from this direction at this time. Judging from all this data, they’re halfway to the moon.”

• Why would we lie about it? If it’s about stealing the money that went into it we already have 60% of the pentagon budget unaccounted for. If it’s about deceiving the soviets how could we possibly trick them? If it’s about raising nationalism why not pull an FDR and minimize poverty?

just… no. If you want to push this then you need some hard evidence. You’re the one making the extraordinary claim.

As an aside, do you also think the James Webb telescope fake? That is as nuts as the moon landing, and is still friggin THERE.

I don’t know why, but I always imagine knights moving forward and then left or right, I always get infuriated for some reason when I see their movement described the other way around.

I know but if they were smart they’d say they’re gonna take an hour to do it, find the footage in 10 minutes and goof off another 50.

Pull a Scotty, then you’re productive and lazy. It’s just disappointing they can’t even procrastinate properly. I feel bad.

I mean, in the era of VHS this won’t work because ultimately you’re fast forwarding and rewinding. So you’re gonna watch it anyway. but in the digital era I thought this would be what any Police officer did?

Like… they’re not even gonna spend 10 minutes on a theft?

right? they’re pretty impressive. Although the cat one I saw was definitely AI made with all the weird limbs of the cats.

What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time, the beginning of every end, and the end of every place?

E, it’s a really mean one when delivered verbally

I always use edge whenever I’m making a public presentation with a computer I use. Simply because I never use it. Then autocomplete won’t embarrass me if we look something up.

I’d buy that. I’ve had amazing vegan and vegetarian chilis from cans, but never anything of the same quality from something with meat.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.
