Scattered thoughts about the movie:

Obviously spoilers

I don't like the voice that Ben Affleck is using in the sequel, it sounds so forced, his performance was a lot more believable in the first one. The whole whole center of autistic children/teens working as hackers was also hard to believe. And Justine using the expression "normie" was pretty cringe.
And then there's the "acquired savant syndrome" which made a regular mom into a super assassin, that was also hard to believe. But as a sequel, maybe not the worst. Jon Bernthal did a lot to pull it up several grades, but the first one was definitely better.
Ben Affleck took a bit of a backseat in this one, and he didn't do too bad besides how he sounded almost like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the motel.

And to answer the question "how well is autism represented?", I'd probably say it was "fine". I actually think it was worse in this movie because it played too much into the neurodivergent superpowers trope. On the other hand, that could look empowering to some.

😂

If that's what the history books will show, that USA crumbled because a horndog had her intern blow him, then I can't wait to read it.

tror i Ukraine har noget med det her at gøre?

Det er i hvert fald ikke svært at holde de tanker adskilt. Men vi fik jo heller ikke ret klart svar på hvad der skete med Nord Stream 2. *tager sølvnapoleonshatten på*

Så kan man virkelig se hvor skrøbeligt samfundet bliver på rekordtid. Giver stof til eftertanke. Selvom de har sendt 30.000 politibetjente på gaderne for at dirigere trafikken, er der så ikke brug for strøm for at genoplade elbiler, og hvad med benzinpumperne på tankstationerne, de bruger vel også strøm, ikke?
Altså jeg regner jo med at de får det op at køre igen inden længe, men stadig, fødevarer skal jo transporteres rundt, skrald skal fjernes osv.

Jeg hørte tidligt at skylden var af naturlig art og ikke hacker-angreb, meeen - det kan være vi aldrig får sandheden at vide.

 

Nyhedsbureauet Reuters har trukket den tidligere melding om årsagen til strømnedbruddet tilbage.

Tidligere på dagen skrev Reuters, at Portugals elnetoperatør, REN, havde sagt, at årsagen til strømnedbruddet skyldes et atmosfærisk fænomen med ekstreme temperaturvariationer.

Den melding er elnetoperatøren dog aldrig kommet med, siger REN nu.

REN siger derimod, at man ikke kender årsagen til nedbruddet, og at man ikke kan udelukke, at strømnedbruddet skyldes "meget store svingninger i elektriske spændinger, først i det spanske system, som derefter spredte sig til det portugisiske system".

Det siger Joao Conceicao, som er bestyrelsesmedlem i REN ifølge Reuters.

REN oplyser desuden, at det ikke har nogen informationer om, at strømnedbruddet skyldes et cyberangreb.

EDIT: Nå ja, og så er der alle dem der ikke har kontanter på sig. Overvej et kontantløst samfund i sådan en situation..

Finally! Some good fucking news.

On a side note: I wonder if their abortion rights has gotten better, last I heard they had regressed a lot on that front.

Huh, I never knew Windows had SSH server capabilities - besides WSL of course :D

That's a clever solution indeed. I assume you're SSH'ed into something, but where? And what scripting language? Bash?

I'd die of cringe if I did that.

It pisses me off as well. It seems so out of place.

It's one of my favorite movies. I was still a pre-18 teen when it came out, in fact 1999 was an amazing year for western media, not just amount of amazing movies, but also music and games.
But I always found it odd how it resonated with me so well when I was barely old enough to work in an office, perhaps besides as a telemarketer or intern or something.
Anywho, to be an old man yelling at clouds here, I wonder if it's worth straining archive.org's servers by watching full movies from them. I'm thinking of this specifically because they're currently being sued for 700 million dollars by the music industry and it might not survive this time around.

PS: Speaking of Mike Judge, he's made some other amazing things like Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill and Idiocracy. I just watched Common Side Effects which was amazing as well.
