Actually, Aliens underwent a very similar process and in that newest release you can definitely see the AI screwing stuff up.

They're still around, perched in the trees and on the power lines watching us fuck everything up.

What? Homie, we're talking about the new documentary series on Netflix, not the sitcom.

The big heroic music playing leading up to the mother hadrosaur beating the crap out of the pterosaur is so good.

My only two big criticisms are that they gave Allosaurus so many osteoderms we know it didn't have, and that they unintentionally portray selection pressures as something that happens quickly as opposed to over time. Every single episode doesn't need a scene of an herbivore starving.

I gotta disagree. Dawn of the Dead is using the mall to make a thematic point. You could set Dead Rising just about anywhere, but Dawn of the Dead is ABOUT the mall.

Also, it's wild that so many of the dinosaurs are pretty accurate to our modern understanding, but meanwhile Allosaurus looks like it was ripped right out of Jurassic World.

There are a lot of cool things in The Dinosaurs. It's a fun documentary series.

But man, there seem to be a weird amount of scenes of animals slowly dying of starvation and exposure. And the show portrays competition and evolution in ways I'm sure are going to create misconceptions.

Yes! Thank you!

The way Canto Bight puts Finn in a situation where he can have Rose as an angel on one shoulder telling him to stand for something and DJ as a devil on the other is absolutely crucial to the movie's themes, and the fact that people refer to it as not being important frustrates the hell out of me.

Two weeks ago my regional supervisor told our team of photographers that the way she grew up "if you aren't white you aren't American". She then turned to a black photographer and told her "no offense". After a confusing few days that supervisor still has her job but the rest of our team does not.

Crazy how many replies chose to interpret this as a bad attempt at piracy rather than anything else.

I am not abandoning people because weakass candidates say supporting them costs votes.

Fuck that noise.

We've gone from "everything is gambling and Nazis" to "everything is Nazis gambling on gambling and Nazis".

I am so sorry this happened. This is beyond fucked up.

I have and will continue to. What I said is still true. Announcing that your vote is guaranteed is a bad strategy. Even if you intend to vote a certain way no matter what, don't give the game away. Don't tell the party that they could never lose your vote no matter how shit they are.

01.03.2026 23:17 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Tap away, my point absolutely stands. Saying loudly and repeatedly years ahead of time that there's nothing the party could possibly do to lose your vote guarantees you the worst possible candidate.

This is the most honest reply here.

It is, unfortunately, also how you guarantee that Satan will be the nominee. We can demand better. That's supposed to be the whole point. If you tell the powers that be that your vote is guaranteed regardless of what they do, they do whatever benefits themselves.

In like an abstract factual sense, they surely do. Like they could answer it as a trivia question. But clearly there's a dissonance when it comes to applying empathy for some reason.

What's really wild is that the comments seem to think that asking random strangers on the Internet will result in getting an honest answer instead of just fucking around.

The dots in the ocean or in the US are clearly the equivalent of voting for "boatymcboatface" and nothing more. Troll shit.

The vast majority of those are clearly people on the internet just fucking around with the survey. They may not know where it is, but when they put it there, it was to be funny.

There are two problems with this.

1. This administration doesn't give a fuck if what they do is legal, and no one has stopped them so far

2. If we pretend something can't happen, we're unprepared to fight it when it does

I love the fight with Ocelot. It isn't the most mechanically interesting, but his enthusiasm is infectious. It's just fun as hell.

Okay, cool. You do you, homie.

The rest of us will be over here enjoying the best characters and best world building in the Monsterverse. I'm here for Kurt Russell.

"maintain decorum"

oh my fucking god.

who gives a fuck, "unforced errors", he and his cabinet hate y'all, do whatever the fuck you want. Pipe in clown music. Fling bags of dogshit at him. Scream "draw a clock, grandpa". Piss water-balloons. NO MORE DECORUM, ONLY CHAOS MEETING CHAOS.

Come on, man. I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you!

Tell the cops that their use of force was inappropriate. They showed up to a planned snowball fight, shoved folks around, and all they got was hit with snowballs.
