What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

Uh, nope. Lived in rural America. Most truck drivers are pavement processes who haul something maybe a handful of times a year. The vast majority.
There was not a shift from 30 years ago everyone driving tiny cars and hatchbacks to now where everyone became blue collar and needed a truck for work suddenly. It's corporate marketing. Corporations can get around fuel standards by making trucks instead of cars, so they convinced everyone that having a truck was somehow necessary, and the good people of the USA gladly ate it up making the f150 the most popular vehicle on the roads followed by the other truck models.
Also, "most people
on these forumslive in major cities". Ftfy. It wasn't until I left my town in Iowa did I realize how many people there are. The entire population of thestate of Iowa lives in my one city.Do you know Brooks Wheelan?

I was an early adopter of No Man's Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.

Idk why but I randomly thought of that show recently, when I was a kid I took a bit of guilty pleasure in watching it when it was on TV
️French stuff at it's best!

I like scenes, many scenes in the movie; the whole movie? Nah, it's not as horrendous as people make it out to be, but still…
I love the whole scene in the throne room. Nice supversion of expectation, great execution.
One of my main gripes with TLJ is that subversion of expectation kind of stops working when you do it like 5-7 times in one movie.
The other main issue is that Cantonica should have had a 15 minute podrace scene instead of the giraffythingies.

Superman probably pays more in taxes than Batman.
wrote last edited by [email protected]That is probably because Batman doesn't pay taxes, Bruce Wayne does.
And Bruce Wayne is known for spending tons of the Wayne foundation on helping the poor and criminalized. Tons of charities, schools, orphanages, homeless shelters, ... are funded by them.
And if Bruce gets tax breaks because of that, it is because that is how the law works, not because he wants them.
Bruce is far from the average Billionaire you get in our dimension.

Bruce Wayne doesn't exist, it's merely a disguise Batman sometimes wears.

Charlie Kirk would approve... Well, he would now I mean. SCNR
Too soon?

AI coding, “vibe coding”
We call it 'slopping'
Not everything AI generates is slop. It is only when used by commercial instances, like businesses and people who want to sell their art.
Let me guess, you frequent the "Fuck AI" sub?

Lookout guys, its a prompt "engineer"!
My 5 year old niece is a prompt "engineer" too.
If you want art to have absolutely zero humanity in it, gobble up all the slop you want.
You are correct about the end stage capitalism component. But if youre truly a "prompt engineer" you should know running a local model doesnt at all unlink you from massive data sucking corps, because who do you think trained that model?
For the record I will also say that painting a picture DOES take more invested skill than a photograph, and I will respect the person who painted a scene vs took a picture of it WAY more. Now, both can be enjoyed by anyone, and thats fine.
I'll have absolutely 0 respect for any image made using ai. Its a toy, and a tool for corporations to further cut costs where they want to the most (take out the pesky humans and gross empathy, ick!)
wrote last edited by [email protected]It takes skill to eat literal shit without gagging
Doesn't change anything about how good it is.
Skill has nothing to do with art.
People said the same about electronic music. Calling it "skill-less" music, since you only have to "press a couple of buttons" instead of learning an entire instrument.

The idea that you can just take your account and migrate it to different PDS is awesome.

High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show.
Not so much the piss scene, but still. -

Saving money. I take pride in doing my research and getting the best deal instead of just stumbling into the first store I come across and paying for whatever the sales person talks me into. The latter wouldn't even hurt me financially, it's just a thing of principle.

I've not read All-Star yet, but I keep getting it recommended to me. Thanks!
wrote last edited by [email protected]All-Star is what made me change my mind on Superman. I never really liked him when I was younger, and it was for all the same complaints that people have already listed above. But All-Star was a blast to read, not in spite of it's (at times) cheesiness, but because of it. All-Star Superman is relatable because he embodies the best traits in all of us; he is incredibly intelligent and kind, leveled and patient. Without going into spoilers, I think what I love most about All-Star is that it shows that even the best among us have our weaknesses, and that it's not the huge, planet-level threats that define who are and what we do, but the small, innocuous things that can most affect who we are in the moment.

AMD > Nvidia
There's simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you're doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).
I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.

Steven Universe. The online fandom was insane. The actual show was incredible.
I'd say the same thing for generation 4 of My Little Pony.
