Smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

Here to share my mistakes and learn from yours. I generally mean to engage with the best intentions, i apologize if i ever feel abrupt.

Never assume malicious what is equally likely ignorance/over exuberance. 💙

  • Sure, how many people do you think you’d walk up to who are renting who would say that that’s their situation?

    Why are you talking about the exception not explicitly the problem that this is supposed to be trying to address?

    The issues are people who want to purchase cannot while people have more than one.

    Are you saying we prioritize those renters over homeowners? Is that better for the economy of the country to have people who are renting as opposed to people who own?

    Edit: also how does this work if a country cares about their citizens and absolutely any of their citizens are homeless while someone has extra and empty housing?



  • I just checked it out last night, i had a feeling it was a fun project for the actors, regardless of the overall quality, i wanted to see how they enjoyed performing.

    To be honest i didn’t hate it. It was longer than it should be, sucked itself off while also having awkward theater kid feeling moments. But i didn’t find it as disjointed as everyone talked about, if you watch some media that’s figurative you’ll be fine, it’s mostly more or less just a linear narrative following the main characters.

    Honestly it wasn’t the worse use of my time, for me. My partners watched with me and one left feeling frustrated at the conclusion (no spoilers) and felt their time was wasted, while the other just could not have their attention held, there were a lot of ‘i am deep’ shots that if you dont enjoy that you just wont.

    All that is to say I didn’t pay anything for it, so i had less reason to come in with any expectations. Oh, and I never found I liked the Godfather or his other “classics” so i came in expecting an old man’s passion project and that’s what i got. The actors felt like they had a blast so i couldn’t help watching the whole thing for them.

    All and all, if you can see it for free and appreciate it for what it was (a fun bad movie) i think it’s fine. If anything i found the ending to be a bit saccharin for a movie that tried to be dark? Some of the parts wrapped up ridiculously im still kind of stunned.



  • I think the issue people arguing with you that you don’t seem to get is that not everyone does want it to stop.

    You seem blind to that reality that there is a large portion who arent even looking or talking that people are dying.

    Who think what is going on and continuing is fine, or even good or right. And those people are in the positions to even try to limit any of it, and wont.

    You’re not arguing honestly if you really claim the reason no one in power speaks against it is because it’s too hard? That seems really unlikely doesn’t it? “It’s difficult and we’re looking at legal options” and “we will continue to arm and defend them” are wholly different.



  • The bimbofication of the chat bots has been weird to watch. I played with Replika back when it was an egg billed as “a chat bot you teach to chat how you want” more than a romantic parter.

    Were they ever good conversationalists? No, but if you’re someone who likes to externally talk things through they could be a fine echo of a generally positive generic person.

    Now they feel so gross and desperate/pleading it feels weird to interact with them.
