Right???

Oh, no, that’s illegal. You’re legally required to spend at least 10k on your death, it’s good for the economy.

Insurance companies negotiate lower rates

I feel like what they actually do is negotiate higher rates for the uninsured

I like the propoganda explanation

You know what? Fair enough

Hitler wasn’t vegan tho

Lifeline or dystopian? Yes. Yes it is.

Interstellar was alright. Didn’t care for the ending. I perfer my science fantasy to be more like star wars - i.e. the fact that it’s space magic is pretty obvious - and don’t like being sold a soft sci fi that pretends its a hard sci fi. (For example, I thought Everything Everywhere All of the Time was pretty good, because it was somewhat internally consistent but didn’t lean too hard into the ‘this is real science guys’ thing.)

But then again, i’m one of those people who can’t turn my brain off, thinks a difficult puzzle is ‘relaxing,’ and also knows a little physics. So I admit my tastes aren’t the same as the general audience’s.

I have never seen tenet.

This does not make me want to see tenet. 😅

It sounds like the sort of premise that the writers thought sounded clever but is actually full of plot holes when you think about it for even a minute.

And I could not do math without the ability to create graphs in my head.

And yeah, reading would be a lot more boring without being able to picture what’s going on. I’ve definitely confused movies and books before because my memory of the book feels just as vivid as recalling a movie i’ve seen.

Um… I hate to break it to you but I kind of do have a tv in my head. So do lots of people.

Unfortunately that’s not how that works. They can’t ‘just buy the company’ because infowars won’t sell to them.

…but they could infringe the fuck out of the ip

Getting a full nights sleep in 30 min sounds WAY better than not sleeping at all. You still get all the benefits of sleep and more time in your day.

Perhaps she was banking on a Clinton win.

Now how could any conversation about esoteric programming languages be complete without mentioning whitespace?

Nah it’s not that rare.

Try XCOM Long War. It will take you 80 years, because you will rage quit a lot.

I think that’s less a boomer opinion and more of a tinfoil hat lemmy user opinion.

(And I don’t mean that as an insult - these days I wear my tinfoil hat proudly. These are dark times!)

I don’t mind the qr code thing if there are also paper menus available, but yeah.

Well that’s a new nightmare fuel for me. Glitchy mattresses.

I feel like I’m pretty tech-savvy… which is why I don’t want software in anything where plain old physics will do the job. Software breaks.
