    Dark

    This show was great but the ending left the main characters' motivations completely inexplicable. Everyone said the ending was so good. So many unanswered questions. They answered the big picture questions but left so many details unfinished. A 4th season would be great.

    yeah, its not that I'm worried they'll see tits. Its the context. modern mainstream porn is a horror show without even looking for anything weird. I mean, thats what I've heard from friends and stuff.

    I'm just trying to figure out ; is he doing this for the same reason he posts the dog stuff (humiliation fetish) Or does he actually think this stuff looks edible? I guess I'm going with humiliation fetish, nobodys taste is that bad

    The Last of Us

    Never played the game so I dont have the issues with source accuracy. Good episode though. The gay dudes were written and acted as relatable, normal human beings. I literally had no idea there was anything gay going on until he kissed the guy. I have absolutely zero gaydar apparently; my wife...

    Can confirm. Two of those are a solid meal for under $5. The been rice and cheese is also available. But fucking rice isnt people food so fuck that. Still better and tastier than any fast food burger available for under $5.

    lmao. brother I'm a cheap fuck too but don't try to rationalize it. "what do you mean I wasnt allowed to share my password with 5 different households???" "If you don't let me keep doing it I'm out, thats it!!"

    Anyone read anything explaining the bizarre behavior of nat gas over the past month? Seems like at least half the time it moves in the opposite direction on related news. Pretty soon they're gonna be paying you to hold natgas. Just curious if anyone has read a discussion of this somewhere; I...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Used this tonight for the first time in an actual work context. Turns out this is a very effective way to search for a long list of taxonomic terms that are readily available on wikipedia etc. Nothing that really looks like AI, but actually useful. Looking them up in specific databases has its...

    Saw these on my recent trip. I was tempted to experiment with them until I saw they're served with some "spicy ranch sauce" or some similar kind of fucking absolute horse shit.

    I said: it contains valuable truths about the human experience You said: I agree, it contains over-valued self-reinforcing myths Huh? We seem to have different views of what the word "agree" means.

    If you don't think The Lord of The Flies contains some valuable truths about the human experience you should read it again. As far as essays, they were never intended to have the students come up with some novel new insight, the goal was always to see if you could string sentences together...

    There is a pretty easy solution to all this bullshit in terms of student writing.

Welcome back to the handwritten essay question written during the test period, in the...

    I dunno, it sounds a lot like comments I've read throughout this thread. That tone of "its so complex, how silly of you to think you could understand it like me". I presume forum threads were in its training dataset. I wonder if FoH threads were excluded because of the login features. This...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Ya know, thats a contrast I hadnt made before. The Deep, you watch his story and you end up feeling bad for him. And not even really disgusted by his octopus sexcapades. Somehow he makes the whole thing not charming or endearing but funny at least ... in some way, he's a sympathetic character...

    The Last of Us

    If Hollywood actually wanted to do something kind for black actresses they would cast them in roles written for black women. This little girl, who did a great job in the role, has been set up by Hollywood to be a punching bag so they can call people racists and virtue signal in the process...

    All double burgers would be better as single burgers. Fight me, rage against it, but at the end of the day you know I'm right. A QP deluxe with bacon, thats the burger if you have to eat McDonalds burgers for some reason, presumably because there isnt a Carls Jr nearby.

    I think its funny how Ossoi just posts obvious AI text in every thread, but people still thought they had room to make fun of my prediction that soon the entire internet will be nothing but AI text. I do however enjoy the lack of bad puns or dog references in the AI text posts, thats a nice...

    and thats how we'll recognize real human text - machine text will be uniformly high quality. For a time thats how the few remaining humans will recognize each other in the AI text dystopia. until the machines learn how to shitpost, then God help us all.

    I wonder what the real AI is like if the one they put out for the public to play with is this good. And I wonder what fraction of text I've read in the past couple years was AI generated. Soon it will approach 100%, since human communication on the web seems to have devolved to a...

    /sigh Blood spots arent embryos. (We don't have roosters so what the fuck is all this talk about embryos anyway? ) The chickens arent getting more calories now, they're getting a different food type. Its clearly some specific nutrient rather than total calories. Blood spots have nothing to do...

    Renfield (2023)

    what in the actual fuck. Sounds like a super funny premise. The trailer starts off promising. Then, that Awkwa Fina thing shows up. As the love interest. Shes not even believable as the love interest for a dude who eats bugs. What the fuck is actually wrong with hollywood?

    I've posted before about blood spots in eggs. We were running about 10-25% of eggs with blood spots. (Never the white eggs, only the brown eggs) We stumbled across the cure. Its corn. Just regular old cracked corn. We'd previously fed our chickens laying pellets plus table scraps, and they...
