If we only taught things that were "useful" then we'd be discarding half the curriculum. Stuff like history, art, and how a fucking analog clock works, is worth teaching, even if it's not something everyone uses every day.

I keep squeezing my eyes shut and trying to will myself into the timeline where Bernie won.

I despise the liberals that voted for Hillary/Biden during the primaries more than the right just doing what conservatives always do. I never expected anything other than the current hate and ignorance from the right - but to see so many people who claimed to be on the left fall in line behind whoever the DNC/media coronated, and talking about Bernie like he was unrealistic or crazy, killed whatever hope I had for this country.

"I enjoy your boobs."

That's a high quality gif

To be fair the GOP would happily fund it too

Apparently I'm the only one that likes being titillated by movies. I don't get the "it adds nothing to the plot" complaint. Tons of movies have action scenes and gratuitous violence that add nothing to the plot, yet i don't see complaints about that. 90% of John Wick is gratuitous violence that added nothing to the plot, but I still love it.

I think this says more about American prudishness and people's unhealthy attitudes towards sex than anything.

Bunch of unnecessary death? Cool and fun! An unnecessary titty? Awkward and gratuitous.

Fuck all of you. I want more nudity and sex in my movies and the comparative lack of it compared to the 80s and 90s feels like we're going out of our way to exclude a huge part of life from art because it makes the prudes out there uncomfortable. But those same people are happy to watch nameless dudes get creatively and graphically killed for half a movie's run time.

I want more gratuitous sex and less gratuitous moral pandering

With Home Assistant and locally controlled devices there's no issues whatsoever. Completely locally controlled and solid as a rock ime.

Always bugged the shit out of me that he actually says "mother freaking" in that scene

Completely ruined my suspension of disbelief and I still cringe when remembering it.

"As far as you are concerned"

Correction: "as far as anyone else is concerned."

Consciousness IS continuity. If you are disentigrated and a perfect clone pops up somewhere to replace you... you died. Your current stream of consciousness ended and a perfect copy replaced you.

As far as all external observers are concerned it's still you. But from your own perspective? Well you won't have one anymore, you'll be dead.

Agreed, but I have a feeling I'll be using Jellyfin in a few years.

No shit it's not private. This is the digital equivalent of shouting on a soapbox in public and then getting pissed if someone records or remembers it.
