That’s already happening and people are very mad about it because they think the plants are going to eat them.

Alright. Sounds like bullshit that you’re going to have to deal with, whether or not we’re facing the AI apocalypse, and I sympathise.

I don’t even really know what a 401k is, I’m not from the US. The fact that globally social security systems are failing due to neglect and tax gifts for the rich is a whole other issue.

That doesn’t mean much. If a person is too old to learn a new job, they should be able to retire. If a person’s cognitive ability is THAT low, so low they can’t learn the simplest of jobs, they should probably be in some care facility or (better) be cared for at home with their caretakers (who’ve had proper training) receiving adequate compensation. Why are we talking, in this context, about people who are unable to work anyway?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very much against what we’ve come to call “AI” and how it’s taking over everything.

What does “can’t be trained for a new job” mean? Why? What’s keeping them from learning a new thing?

They did want it to be the new PDF.

Why would I want this? Serious question. How would this benefit anyone?

So… you knew the answer?

Got several Rifftrax and, armed with that, finally worked up the courage to watch Old. Left me speechless. The amateurishness of the writing was astonishing. So, so, so many things wrong with it and I don’t even necessarily include the basic premise of “beach that makes you old”. I watch Doctor Who religiously, I can deal with weird nonsense.

Maybe at least hint at the big thing that is vitally important to the plot being there at some point before it becomes relevant and you reveal it out of absolutely nowhere? Seems like basic writing rules.

Hair and nails may be technically “dead” but there’s living cells that produce the material and would obviously continue doing so. If you’re trying to address your (many) plot holes and inconsistencies, do think your solution through.

Who the fuck came up with the idea that cells in children’s bodies need to be fed because they’re still growing while adults only “age” and don’t grow new cells so adults wouldn’t need food? What? That’s not how that works? If you’re grasping at straws to explain your shit, don’t bring it up at all.

And stop making your characters say what is happening. Oh emm gee. Seriously. Staaahp. Is this one of those movies that I’m supposed to watch while looking at my phone?

The Rifftrax helped me through the thing, as expected.

adding missing information

Did you mean: hallucinate on purpose?

Wasn’t he going to lay off the ketamine for a while?

Edit: … i hadnt seen the More Context and now i need a fucking beer or twnety fffffffffu-

You need to find ways to convey your intended tone of voice, that’s just the way it is. You could add a smiley. Even “Cool!” already looks a lot more enthusiastic than a dry “Cool.” with a full stop.

Did it promote skepticism and science though? It showed them being applied, sure. In the end though, the show was always on Mulder’s side of the “truth”. Of course it also kind of said “Scully’s work is important” but it was always assumed that her view of any situation would ultimately be the wrong one. Her science-oriented methods break down when it comes to (in the broadest sense) “supernatural” phenomena - because they are, by definition even, outside science.

We don’t have nearly enough shows that promote healthy skepticism and the scientific method though.

It is revealed in passing that Scully used to go by Velma Dinkley.

Fellow German here, slice of cheese on bread is the go-to. Microwaved, if I’m feeling spicy.

Possibly. No. Maybe. Yes. I can’t control what my brain retains (except in rare circumstances) and consequently it’s filled with a lot of useless bullshit that nobody cares about, bits and pieces of everything I ever read.

Had a phase where I read a bunch of Wiki articles about Marvel comics. This caused a few awkward moments where I’d throw in a random comment in a conversation I was overhearing but then wasn’t able to follow it up with anything substantial with my comic book expert interlocutors who’d actually read what they were talking about.

Feel vaguely accomplished for maybe a second, if you’re lucky.

Does it hurt you or anyone? No? Carry on.

Oh dear. This is uexpected, here of all places :D thank you for reading, this means a lot ヾ⁠(⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠*⁠)⁠ﾉ

Just fyi, it isn’t really considered very healthy and necessary to shower every day (unless you have specific reason, like work in a dirty environment). It’ll dry out your skin which can lead to more serious conditions.

Regardless, if you think you can’t stop cleaning yourself, that may be reason to talk to someone about it off the internet.
