You shouldn't judge people on appearances.

... but, I mean, come OOON... he looks like a reanimated Madame Tussaud's sculpture. Like someone said, "Give me a Wish.com Mark Zuckerberg... but not so vivacious this time." And he's the CEO of an AI-related company.

It would certainly raise questions, if true, but my issues are with the baseball shooting specifically. The details, the timelines, the developments and changes as time went on, etc.

I think the Congressional baseball shooting may well have been a Russian ploy to help Trump.

It's clearly a thing with these types. Trump shits himself. Netanyahu is into scat. It's just who they are.

It would probably resemble Breaking Bad in a lot of ways.

You might like The Leftovers?

The recent Dungeons & Dragons movie sort of lightly fits your description, while also being unexpectedly good.

They also like to just hold onto large chunks of money arbitrarily.

Oh, you're going to take it up with customer support?

Lololol.

But the job creation!

I can name the details of every train run on every model since 1969, when they started keeping records.

Why did you build your fortifications on the train tracks, the ONE place the train can attack?

You worship in your way and let me worship in mine.

My ex finally admitted she'd been carrying on a relationship on the side, in case it didn't work out with me (her reasoning). She admitted it'd been much more than she claimed, she'd even met his parents, etc. After confessing, she started self-harming (hitting herself in face repeatedly for awhile) in front of me. I called 911, very quickly realizing I might be in that scene from Fear/It's Always Sunny and that this could go very, very badly for me.

Police showed up (~4:00 AM), shining flashlights into windows, waking up my Mormon landlords upstairs.

Thankfully, she sent the police away without incident/my involvement, then left shortly thereafter. She texted around 10 AM that she'd bought me a massage as a birthday gift, which was timely and welcome. She never showed her face again until I ran into her at a birthday party maybe 6-9 months later. Next I heard, she had shaved her head and moved to Indonesia.

Those are the main highlights, anyway.

 

There's a lot of gold for a 2:00 clip, but my favorite subtle part is that he appears to throw a frisbee for her to fetch at 0:55, after telling her to scram and just before telling her she has a great ass.

 

It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).

Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

 

Kind of random, but I've always enjoyed this. She's absolutely pitch-perfect and her voice pierces the room despite no microphone and being recorded on a crappy cell phone.

I love the hushed awe and participation of everyone in the bar. Would have been a magical moment.

 

I find fractals extremely fascinating and way, way, way out of my depth. One example being the Barnsley Fern, which I find so cool. It feels a bit like someone cracked a little piece of the Matrix code.

But is there anything really significant about the fact that it looks like a fern from a botanical/mathematical perspective? Do the two connect in any real way? Can we somehow find the math genetically or learn something about the mathematical properties of other leaves, for example? How "real" is it?

If I could make an oak leaf from fractals, would it advance mathematics and/or botany or would it be equivalent to creating a cartoon using Geogebra (nice to look at, but basically meaningless)?

 

In the past, I've relied on whatever stream I happen to be able to find through whatever sketchy site and it's really frustrating.

Are there any legit, reliable ways to catch NFL games as they're happening (ideally that don't require a cable subscription/tuner card)?

 

The way he keeps raising his voice somehow makes it so much worse.

 

I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.

It's a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There's a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn't immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.

 

Inspired by this video, which someone posted recently.

And, yes, this is a legit showerthought!
