Plotnick, an associate professor of cinema and media studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, is the leading expert on buttons and how people interact with them.
I like that being a leading expert on buttons is a profession that exists in this world. You go Rachel Plotnick.
His cameo in the 2nd Iron Man movie always felt so cringey to me. I don’t know how it came about, but I like to imagine Musk asked the production for the role. It is so clear to me that he desperately wants to be seen as the man who will single handedly save the world. His companies do incredibly impressive things, I cannot discredit the work of SpaceX, but the more he speaks, the more I am convinced that he is just an egomaniac cosplaying as a genius.
I think it is funny because, in reality, these different features would not appear in the world right next to one another. This map is a dramatization of geological features with no variation or nuance that naturally occurs. But for video games, it is easier to differentiate areas with these clear geological differences so the player can be like, “Oh yes, the island town.” Or “it’s close to the mountain” It’s just an acknowlegdment if how so many video games have done the same strange thing in order to streamline gameplay.
It kept things interesting! If not realistic, it was always beautiful.
Is reddit just bots commenting back and forth to each other now?
Will this extend to Comcast so people no longer need to provide fucking death certificates to cancel the service of deceased loved ones?
Who is starting this weather machine bullshit and why are some of my family members believing this? Why is it so hard for people to identify when they are being lied to?
“The day God Intervened July 18, 2024” That makes me fucking sick. What a pretentious asswipe.
Is history repeating itself this blatantly? And the people who are voting for him still believe they are morally correct.
I haven’t seen this kind of lack of critical thinking since Tucker Carlson visited Russia.
Generative Ai is such a drain on our resources. While I am happy this is bringing about more green energy sources, watching it be poured into such meaningless bullshit is depressing.
This man has clearly never met a lesbian before.
I have seen the QI clip a few times and never thought about this. Very interesting! Thank you for explaining it.
“The timeline is always being adjusted, through the work of archaeologists. To quote a now famous Hancockism, “stuff just keeps getting older.” Yes, and it’s archaeologists that you have to thank for that. Stuff keeps getting older because we keep looking for it, and because we keep analyzing it, in the plain light of day, not in somber academic conclaves where we decide what should and shouldn’t be revealed to the huddled masses, presumably living in fear of the next apocalypse.”
Hancock is hijacking peoples attention and funding. The money that went into making this season would have been much better allocated to various archeological digs. That way, more actual work and analysis could be done as opposed to Hancock’s tenuous theorizing. Archeology is always evolving, that doesn’t mean big archeology is lying to you. It just means they are presenting the most logical evidence they have at the time, and when new (well documented and analyzed) information comes along that changes.
Oh I still have fun playing it when I can! But it’s more of a desperate attempt at survival and less a strategic hunt for the bounty and skilled firefight with enemies. I wish this existed back when I was in college and had more free time to play and friends available to co-op with. I’m so anxious about letting down teammates I’m matched with online.
The new map looks awesome. Has the addition of console players changed the way game play and matchmaking works?
This game has such a fun premise, and the atmosphere is incredible. I wish I had enough free time to really get good at it.
What an absolutely horrific change in her day to day life over the course of a few short weeks. I hope she recovers quickly, although I hear that burn recovery is brutal and that her boyfriend goes to prison forever for such a malicious act.
Can someone explain to me the difference from Control Panel to Settings? It seems like more of a name change and of course, the UI will be different, but won’t it effectively be a hub to control your personal settings just like control panel?
I think they have been putting something like that up for a while. Traditionally, college students from GW, Georgetown, American and Catholic descend on the White House once the race is called to celebrate. I’m sure plenty of other people are there too, but it was overwhelmingly harmless undergrads when I was there.
