Throw in some Venn diagrams for good measure!

To be fair, The Spirits Within was pretty amazing especially considering when it was made. I briefly had the same thought while I was still in awe of the realism, so I can definitely understand why people would believe those headlines.

I can imagine a scenario where a real voice actor is paired with a particular model and used in multiple films/roles. That's not that dissimilar to Mickey Mouse or any other famous animated character.

The idea that AICG actors will completely replace live actors is clearly ridiculous, but the future definitely has room for fully visually- and vocally-AICG personalities as film "stars" alongside real people.

Some people water walk.

Yeah, but usually only if their 12 buddies are stressing out in a weather-weary boat

It's a diagram of states where certain rights are being suppressed.

Top circle is abortion, bottom left is voting, bottom right is LGBTQ+.

The best people.

One of the things Harris really has going for her is the fact that she would absolutely demolish Trump in a debate. She would not let him off the hook for his lies and would be able to counter his BS with reality.

Which is why Trump will never agree to debate her.

If Harris does become first name on the ticket, they better put Jesus Himself Christ as her running mate.

Perl is definitely a WORN language.

Write Once, Read Never

Rollout policies are the answer, and CrowdStrike should be made an example of if they were truly overriding policies set by the customer.

It seems more likely to me that nobody was expecting "fingerprint update" to have the potential to completely brick a device, and so none of the affected IT departments were setting staged rollout policies in the first place. Or if they were, they weren't adequately testing.

Then - after the fact - it's easy to claim that rollout policies were ignored when there's no way to prove it.

If there's some evidence that CS was indeed bypassing policies to force their updates I'll eat the egg on my face.

PHP is better than Javascript these days.

Fucking PHP.

The only thing JS really has going for it is ease of execution, since any browser can run your code... though the ubiquity of Python is closing that gap.

That's a rude thing to say about your house. There's more than just book smarts, you know.

And the magic of buying two of them!

That last one is hilarious. Imagine having a tiny Sadako running around trying to drown people or whatever, but she's small so it really just ends up keeping everyone hydrated

Cupful of water appears in your mouth

swallow What the f--... Oh, Sadako, I didn't see you there. Thanks!
