Linoleum print block and print of my face. The tables at the wedding are named after national parks and I am at "Joshua tree" so that's why that's there

SKEPTIC: Absurd! His name is SOLID SNAKE? Then pray tell, what of LIQUID SNAKE? ACOLYTE: Why, he is the first one's brother, and the misfeasor whose crimes underpin the chronicle of which I was just preparing to speak. SKEPTIC: [Unnerved to have his disdain so thoroughly anticipated and routed.] Oh!

fyi i managed to find a way to synthesize my theory and the alternative presented in this episode into one theory: treebeard mentions trolls were made in mockery of ents (form) from stone (material) so it seems plausible morgoth made dragons in mockery of eagles (form) from boats (material)

"My opinion of God has never been lower," "Christopher Tolkien is Morgoth," and "Dragons are boats" are each, in their own way, the most each of our hosts have ever cooked

What do you think dragons are? This episode contains my exciting theory: dragons are the devil's version of boats.

The proposition of sentience or intelligence is part of the AI Industry’s agnotology gambit. Just as Big Tobacco funded red herring research to flood public discourse with doubt, so this industry poses inane talking points as existential questions and even funds research into them.

Fascinating story about how the social dynamics of people who don't think of themselves as a management class torpedoed the unionisation efforts at Double Fine, and how that meant the majority of the staff fired this summer were attempted union members.

i think the guy talking about having his phone read an audiobook in his AI voice mostly said that to get positive comments from his in-group and screencap disparagement from the outgroup because in practical terms what he is suggesting does not make sense

If you have not watched Sleepwalkers recently, you can't imagine how confusing this -- three or four times in the movie, this track starts up youtu.be/JKQwgpaLR6o and it's so physically uncomfortable when Lauryn Hill fails to show up

I'm tentatively pro-Digger for if there must be movie discourse it should seemingly have come from nowhere and be utterly opaque in a way that's truly refreshing; as far as I can tell the main question is if people really liked it, but always phrased in a way leaving the asker's own thoughts obscure
