John Carmack is another one. For all he’s done, his net worth is only 50 million, but he spends his time developing new tech. I wouldn’t say Carmack is well adjusted, but he doesn’t seem to think making the lives of other people worse will make his life better.
Advertisers and investors are drinking the same coolaid. It’s the customers of those advertisers that need to be questioning their ad space purchases.
I could imagine it if they were filled with spyware and rf sniffers. Not the regular spyware that google and apple have, but shit that spies on everyone around you. They just aren’t that competent.
They hung out together. Friends can adopt each other’s way of speaking.
He views the Rich as a separate ethnic group.
from wiki:
An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of humans who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Attributes that ethnicities believe to share include language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.
He’s mostly right, but that doesn’t invalidate criticisms of the Rich.
Alien and Aliens were different types of movies. Horror vs Action. That’s why Aliens works. It isn’t a rehash of the first.
T2 was similar to T1, but a change in dynamics like Aliens did. Sarah Connor was more in charge and knew what to do about Terminators by the sequel.
I think people overestimate how much the average creator can get from their work over time. They need to keep creating to maintain a livable income. Also, 28 years is a good number because it prevents mega corporations from stealing from small creators. Imagine if some novel series becomes a big hit, but Disney or Warner Brothers could just adapt it whenever they pleased without paying the author.
Cap it at the original 28 years after creation. The current 70 years after the creator’s death is ridiculous.
All you gotta do is throw in some heroic 3 Percenters to make it the perfect Pratt film.
What’s weird is is that truck isn’t tall enough for how big it is if you want to do practical work and haul shit. It would bottom out if you put a real load in it. These things are so weird to me. This thing is a glorified grocery hauler.
Mean age in the US is 39. Lets round it to 40, make it 1.5 times that and cap it at 60.
I got 400k miles on my current truck. I need to do some repairs to the frame, but I’m going to keep driving it because it’s still cheaper to keep it running than deal with a new truck that also needs money put in to it to fix factory design defects.
There were people going maskless during covid because they already caught covid and were only interested in protecting themselves.
I’m going to have to check my mother’s phone.
Perennial plants don’t provide the same nutritional yields. Annuals put all their energy into making fruits/seeds that can be harvested. Things like potatoes or onions don’t put all their energy into seeds, but they do put a lot into their roots and that’s what’s harvested.
We need more biodiversity, but we can start by not having brain dead landscaping dictated by office suits.
Brooks Brothers Rioters. Cut all their valve stems. Also, maybe do something about the SC, because they just handed the election to Bush anyway.
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”.
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks.
