Thiel for sure thinks he's John Galt.

It's a tie between: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension

See John Lithgow chew the scenery as the villain, plus Jamaicans are the good guy aliens. Classic bad movie, but fun to watch.

and

Remo Williams

It's terrible, it's racist and sexist in a 1980s way. But it has Kate Mulgrew and she's awesome in it.

Fruit loops.

I'll see myself out.

They were originally developed as translation software, after all.

Try not to sprain your wrist jerking yourself off, Donald.

Everywhere I've worked still has tons of POTS lines. Sure, you can switch them to LTE or 5G if you happen to be in the city. Rural areas just get fucked though.

Punctuated equilibrium.

Ben's heart is in the right place. But he is an idiot.

I know he doesn't bill himself as a journalist, but I was taught to not make someone else's story about yourself. Once he inserted himself into the mix and started doing antics he crossed a line, imo, and his legal troubles got magnified and he arguably made the legal issues for the Mansell's worse.

The video where AFPD is fucking with him and he gets arrested and then talks to the detective instead of lawyering up immediately had me shouting at the screen. Don't talk to the cops, people. Never talk to the cops, jfc.

I know lawyers are unpopular and expensive, but this is actually a case that needed them.

So they knew it was there and decided not to send it to the market where it would be possibly illegal. This is pretty brazen and I cannot imagine what they are thinking would come from this that would make the reputational impact worthwhile.

I love how all their proposed solutions are similarly disconnected from reality. Like "Let's just give the poors a big break on income taxes". Income taxes on lower-income families are already low, plus if nobody has a job in the AI dystopia then what do income taxes matter?

His faith must be weak for it to be shaken so easily.

Certainly coming as no surprise to any queer person over the age of, say, 35 or so. Old enough to remember when gays were social pariahs and our only sponsors were like lube companies and condom manufacturers. Then as it became less acceptable to shit on LGBT people companies started 'supporting' pride. Bravely speaking out only once it risked nothing. And predictably when the fascists decide to punish companies for providing their support all these 'trailblazers' muzzle themselves with the least surprising amount of alacrity. They were never allies and never interested in anything but our dollars. Fuck the lot of them. We can see who our friends are.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
