It will be enough to entertain the idiots who lack media literacy, and for the studios, that’ll be enough. There’s no meaning or subtext behind LLMs or Sora. It’ll just be trained to mindlessly copy the pop culture it’s fed.

Uwb is ultra wide band. It’s what makes things like Air Tags work, tracking them down to a few centimeters in accuracy.

They’re complaining about a photo gallery all the way at the bottom of the page. It comes after the content tags and author info.

Somebody needs to teach kids about actual drug safety. Abstinence from drugs is a shitty program that doesn’t work and often, the speakers just lie. Opipids are horrible enough that you don’t have to make up lies about them. When kids find out they lied about weed, they start to wonder what else they were lied to about. I can understand 14 year olds being dumb, but people in their 20s should know better than to be buying opioids on Snapchat and Telegram.

Also, I don’t see a way how Snapchat can possibly regulate this. Just like with Craigslist, criminals will use emoji and code words to sell drugs and get through language filters.

That’s because Google actually had HUDs in their glasses. Meta is purely audio.

Well now we’re already expecting people to have them, so yeah I think people will notice.

You can’t blame a company in the GPS industry for directing people to drive over a collapsed bridge while they ignore multiple warnings that the bridge is out in the first place? It happened a decade ago, Google should have fixed it a decade ago.

Also it can be hard to see the surface of the road at a distance at night. By the time he saw the bridge was out, it was probably too late. There’s no lights around the bridge at all.

I’m not saying all of the blame is on Google though, that road should be blocked off/barricaded. However, all of this would’ve been avoided if Google Maps told him to take a right turn instead of a left. All they had to do was listen to the locals telling them that it’s impossible to cross the bridge for a decade. It’s negligence pure and simple and if it hadn’t happened to him, it would be someone else.

Google has been told about the bridge being out multiple times and have refused to do anything about it. If you’re so negligent that you keep routing people to a collapsed bridge on a private road, you deserve to be sued.

I mean, I enjoy Star Trek, but half of the original series is finding complicated ways for Kirk to bang a blue lady or a woman in a silver bikini with green hair after the landing party dies.

The main cast survives everything, including Spock having his brain removed.

The video calls from other ships completely block their view of their environment, which is usually pretty dangerous.

Characters rarely evolve, the crew frequently gets disarmed and has to resort to melee combat, they constantly ignore their “prime directive”, the transporter always malfunctions, the holodeck goes haywire, etc. etc.

Both series have huge glaringly obvious flaws, you just enjoy Star Trek more.

Okay but when’s the last time you had 17 factors in a recreation in opposition to the Milwaukee Bucks, hmm?

I had no idea it was a problem on Radeon GPUs. I saw a few people complaining about not seeing the stars, but I didn’t have a clue what they were talking about since it was always fine for my Nvidia card.

Wow. I was fully prepared to skip this one. I love her films, but I really don’t understand the “Elvis Mania.” I know Coppola wouldn’t rely on fandom alone to write and sell her movie, however, I still figured that it would still be another movie focused on Elvis-- at least partially so.

That article was so passionate and beautifully written. It completely changed my mind and now it feels like I really have to watch this movie. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah and depending on how you use it, it can come off as offensive. For a good comparison look at the language surrounding race. “Black people” is a perfectly okay phrase to use. However, saying “the blacks” makes people feel offended and it feels degrading.

All you’re doing is switching it from an adjective to a noun, but it provides a significant change to how it sounds/feels.

Referring to women as female, especially in the same breath as saying men, is impersonal and cold feeling.

They do feel more like specimen terms because it’s really only used in the context of academic material or government forms. Yeah words have their meaning, but you also have to look at the context of how it’s used.

And on top of that it’s still a weird and clunky title. You either say male and female, which does feel weird and impersonal, or you say man and woman. Mixing them like that does feel strange. For example, you wouldn’t say felines and dogs, you’d say cats and dogs. You wouldn’t say interior and outside, you’d say inside and outside or interior and exterior.

Wow media literacy is truly dead. First of all it’s satire. Everything is elevated to such ridiculous levels to poke fun at society. They’re not saying all men care about is hummers and horses. They fail at running Barbieland because the only thing they care about continues to be impressing Barbie and winning her approval. I think you were just looking for something to be mad about or weren’t paying attention if you think that was where the film landed on men and their role in society. You seem to have a very shallow understanding of the film and you need to give it another watch.

Ryan Gosling’s Ken has one of the best arcs in the entire film. He goes from being obsessed, needy, and subservient to being a competitive, stereotypical bro, confusing machismo with self confidence, and finally along with all the other Ken’s realizes that all he needs is to be himself. No competition, no flexing, no being reliant on others to feel good about himself. He gains awareness of the world and the feelings of others around him. No, by the end of the film he doesn’t find his purpose, but he is now in a place where he can explore himself and find it.

They look like ads for Sims expansions.

Did you somehow miss the entire exposition near the end of the movie? The Kens learn to respect themselves, do what they like, and learn to be themselves instead of attaching their identity to macho bullshit and how Barbie views them. It was a pretty big scene. Gosling comes to grips that Barbie doesn’t love him the way he wants and that he shouldn’t value himself based on how she feels about him. He even covers up with a tie dye “I’m Kenough” hoodie, ditching his fake persona.
