Anyone I’ve ever heard talking about the non-aggression principle spat red flags faster than a machine gun.

At best, they’re truly so dense and unsympathetic they don’t recognize actions that aren’t directly or intentionally causing harm do still cause harm (example, the free state project people leaving food out for black bears “because they can” without thought for their neighbors who then have to deal with more bears). At worst, it’s rape apologia (crap like statutory rape doesn’t exist because that minor “totally asked for it” and the rape didn’t cause physical damage).

What a fun read, ty. I went to the Talk page hoping for some back and forth about ensuring the description of the project was unbiased. Nope, nada, surpised there aren’t any free state project fans within the ranks of Wikipedia editing volunteers who would have something to say.

White Zombie. It was fun seeing the low-budget combined with filming, acting, and dialogue that still hailed back to the silent film era. And for how racist it could have been in 1932, it really wasn’t. Misogynist? Yes.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

I would guess the next set of features “missing” from the Roku app have similar reason then. 1) I use a plugin to search and download subtitles from the browser interface; it would be great to be able to do that from the Roku app too and 2) once subtitles are available, easily adjusting the offset.

The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers. I recognize it’s a passion project for a lot of those involved and I am grateful.

The first thing I ever saw her in was Little Monsters. It’s a lightweight zombie horror comedy and she was delightful in it. Would recommend to anyone who likes the genre.

Produced by Stephen Curry. OK. Sure.

Under the bills, some kinds of local telecom projects would be approved automatically if a city or town doesn’t rule within a deadline set by Congress.

The tl;dr

Here’s an Article on the survey I’ve been seeing referenced lately that shows among the population surveyed, men and women are reporting similar rates of loneliness.

As to why it’s being called the male loneliness epidemic, well, I have personal opinions on that. Mostly that problems affecting men are far more likely to get sympathy, attention, and funding. How many times are issues affecting primarily women just hand-waved away as less important?

Have chronic diarrhea so they can’t trace a single log back to you.

If he somehow does start getting held accountable for this, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries will twist themselves into pretzels to somehow throw him a lifeline. And it wouldn’t even make me assume Schumer or Jeffries are in the Epstein files, I think they’re just so cowardly and worthless they’d help Trump without getting anything out of it.

I wonder if they know they are giving up on theaters. Maybe their plan is a minor theater run just for awards eligibility and then leaning on the home streaming market?

Theaters want to turn over movies, just like restaurants want to turn over tables. The theater gets $20/ticket yet whether the movie is 90 minutes long or 190. And that’s long enough quite a few customers will think “eh, I’ll watch that from home with snacks and bathroom nearby and a pause button”.

Roku has a Jellyfin app.

Roku device locked down with parental controls + Jellyfin app connected to your server + a non-admin Jellyfin user account so they can’t click all the buttons.

The Roku aoo isn’t great for my use because it’s stripped down. Maybe a benefit in your case.

We watched Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994).

After several scenes with an unnecessarily shirtless and lubed up Kenneth Branagh, I made a bet he was the director. One quick websearch later, confirmed, the man directed himself into many shirtless shots. Well-played, sir.

Hopefully later this week we have time for the new Guillermo del Toro Frankenstein. We’ll see if this one is as thirsty for Elordi and Isaac.

For real, half-naked and lubed up Branagh rolling around making full body contact with a fully-naked and lubed up Robert De Niro. Someone out there cites this as their gay awakening and I wish them well.

Ditto, and I switched from high-weight/low-reps to lower-weight/higher reps. Like instead of sets of 3-5, doing sets of 10-20. I recover better and It’s safer to do alone in the home gym.

I’ve been recommending 3 Idiots to STEM friends for years.

Edit: you said “recent” and I missed it. I still recommend 3 Idiots to people despite it being about 15 years old.

For actual “recent”, I like horror and horror comedy movies so would recommend to my fellow horror comedy watchers Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The third one came out last year.

Ah, at first glance I thought it was The Name of the Wind, from Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles. And thought it made sense the movie adaptation would also take a really long time.

Mix of both. My job requires a lot of collaboration on some things, and others require deep dives into really dry texts that I prefer to do solo.

I prefer remote work. I’m on video calls with people all over the world most days so there’s no reason to be in any specific location. Home allows for no commute time, privacy, better lunch, so many reasons.

No AI replacement for tasks so far. The company I work for has an internal client that is supposed to answer queries based on all those dry texts mentioned above. But when I tested I found 16/20 attempts came back with inaccurate information on initial query and I would say roughly one third of those would not be reasonably caught by someone not very familiar with the texts like I am.

I think there are some opportunities for AI, more along the lines of automating standard workflows, but I have no time to build them because they’ve already fired 3/4 of my team in advance of “expected efficiencies thanks to AI”. I’m also not an IT / Digital Tools person. Nothing about my job is related to building AI tools and they haven’t provided us with skills-appropriate tools. So my team is just prioritizing and saying “no” to the bottom half of the list we no longer have capacity to support. I feel increasingly insecure in my job every time we say “no” but I also won’t push my team to work an obscene number of hours per week.
