I fucking swear the entire planet just collectively forgot that The Book of Eli exists in an effort to convince the modern audience that a cool and violent action film can’t also have a deep and profoundly Christian message.
Chick fil a almost always just hires local American teenagers who speak English, instead of foreign adults, and theyre known for their great service and ability to flawlessly handle long drive through lines.
I think about this often because its not a coincidence that their service is so superior.
Companies need to start hiring American teenagers for jobs that were always meant for them again.
Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was dealing with home insurance.
Bought a starter home, paid my monthly premium every single month for 4 years straight without missing a dime.
A severe storm knocked tree branches through the roof. I called to file a claim for $3,500 in repairs.
Insurance adjuster walked out, wrote a check for $1,200 after my deductible, then sent a non-renewal notice two weeks later saying I was now "high risk."
Got me curious, so I looked into how property insurance models operate today.
Turns out insurance companies literally drop customers for using the exact service they paid thousands to hold, while raising rates across the board to protect corporate profit margins.
I was naive enough to think insurance was protection against emergencies.
In reality, you're just paying a mandatory subscription fee for a service you're penalized for ever using.
-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
Reminder that Muslims aren't fasting during Ramadan. They're just eating a huge breakfast before sunrise, skipping lunch, then eating a huge dinner after sunset. It's all performative and meaningless.
No Child Left Behind was such a fucking detriment to our society. I'm so sick of arguing with grown ass adults simply because they don't understand what they're reading
The Flintstones (1994) was an absolute practical effects masterpiece.
They really built a full-scale Bedrock city out of real stone and fiberglass in a desert quarry instead of using CGI.
