Disappointed it’s Amazon but since they own MGM it was never going to happen any other way.

Otherwise, totally hyped. Love to see what SG looks like with modern effects and budget. Hope it can retain some of the campiness and understatement (like Jack O’Neil’s stubborn refusal to give Picardesque speeches and just relying on his people knowing the plan).

In a weird way this makes Linux a microkernel. They’re “macro” but isolated and cooperative. Coolest patch set I’ve read about in a while.

I don’t really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

This looks like fun, just grabbed it, thanks for posting it here.

Glad you’re still with us, hope you’re doing well, that crash sounds awful.

Intel has been struggling overall, and lately has been letting some of its Linux engineers go. Nothing absolutely fundamental has been affected yet (AFAICT) but I guess Clear Linux didn’t make the cut.

I know you’re joking, but it’s going to be something dumb like this that gets deniers to rethink their position. It may be some staple that disappears from shelves, or has to be replaced by an inferior substitute, or made with weird ingredients.

If lite beer had to be made with rice, or it got to $100 a case because of climate change fucking up the wheat crop, it would do more than every science paper in the world.

Hey, that’s great. I’m not sure it’s a way to reach full communism, but good on them.

Perfect example. Insurance is an entire industry of blood sucking middle men producing absolutely nothing.

Good luck to your friend. Sorry they have to support a useless leech corporation instead of, you know, paying that money to actual workers.

It’s really hard to generalize about leftist groups. The communists that feel this way have formed co-ops, or are cooperating with anarchists to do something like syndicalism (focused on unionizing existing businesses).

But the methods to start and grow businesses in a capitalist country inherently rely on acting like a capitalist. Getting loans requires a business plan that makes profit, acquiring facilities and other businesses requires capital. Local co-ops exist because they can attract members and customers that value their co-opness, but it’s very hard to scale that up to compete at a regional level. It’s not impossible, but it’s hard to view it as an engine for vast change.

Communists that focus on voting are delusional (in my opinion) but like all reformists they view the existing government as the mechanism to make widespread change.

Light speed is a “you must be this clever to participate” barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that’s all. Even if it’s not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.

I use private trackers exclusively for content I want to “own” or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you’re maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out…

Anyway, they complement each other well.

I will watch this, but only because I’m fairly certain Neuromancer is unadaptable to the screen. The thing that makes William Gibson great is the fantastic way he writes, leaving so much to the imagination but creating a definite vibe. When you have to fill out every single detail to render it on screen, it’s not going to be the same work. I’m sure It’ll share characters and plot points, but these are not the things that make Neuromancer such a classic.

Tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. Same with toads being frogs.

You keep getting hung up on conscription as if there aren’t thousands of men who went to war in the last 25 years. You don’t have to be drafted to get killed or traumatized, and just because you enlisted doesn’t mean you deserved everything that happened to you (esp. when most enlist are poor, have no prospects, and get effectively brainwashed as a teenager that the military is an out).

As for the rest, yes have empathy for single parents and wage slaves of any gender. I’m sorry sexual assault is thing that happens to many women.

Nobody is arguing that the patriarchy fucks men harder than women because you’re right, it doesn’t.

Your dismissal of the military issue and suicide is an example of your, and society’s, complete lack of empathy for men. Sure, it’s not women sending men to die, or directly causing them to feel hopeless, but that doesn’t somehow mean they aren’t victims of the patriarchy.

Did I personally get ordered to die? No, but I sure as hell had my role as an emotionless working machine, the assumed self-sufficient breadwinner that needed to support my entire family myself even if it meant my life was expendable, pushed on me by men, women, religion, and the media. And if I didn’t want that role or failed to live up to it, I’m a fucking loser and the community doesn’t care that I fed myself to a meat grinder and came out broken.

I promise, it’s possible to have empathy for the women who are being fucked by the patriarchy as well as the men simultaneously. Going back to my initial comment, it was never trying to disregard the scientist in the post, only dispel this idea that there is some individual that hasn’t experienced sexism/patriarchy.

The patriarchy is also what sends men to die for imperialism, tells them they can’t ask for help, admit weakness, or be vulnerable. It’s why the ratio of suicides is 6:1 men to women in the US and men are something like 4 times more likely to die deaths of despair, take jobs that destroy their body, or get rejected from jobs that deal with caring or teaching because of biased assumptions of pedophilia and sexual abuse.

Yes, some (read: cis, hetero, rich) men are privileged by the system, and we should absolutely not discount women’s experiences, but it’s not one or the other, it’s both.

I don’t think it’s minimizing to acknowledge that sexism is endemic and cuts both ways.

Don’t know what the other comment was, but everyone has experienced sexism. It’s inevitable that inaccurate gender stereotypes will be applied to you at some time. For men it’s just the “stop emoting you fucking pussy” or “you suck at nurturing so don’t even try.”

The patriarchy fucks us all.
