Nope, you didn’t read the article.

Director Young Kim,

“That was a hasty judgment on my part. Unless AI takes one more leap and reaches a point where no one can tell the difference, what I believed was still closer to an ideal than a reality. I expected some of you would be disappointed by our use of AI. I did not expect it to become this big.”

“I’m sorry we got caught this time. We’ll try to dupe you again later.”

I was born after that movie. I’m not bitching about Game of Thrones spoilers as I’m just watching it. It’s your fault if you’re… let’s check… 58 years behind.

After a certain amount of time I think rights to spoiler warnings are forfeit. It’s been decades.

The novel is more clear. Dave has evolved, literally. The monoliths are mile markers set out by ethereal aliens; the first teaching apes how to use tools, the other monitoring our progress to becoming space-faring.
Aliens ushering us into a next plane of evolution is a recurring them with Clark. Childhood’s End has the extraterrestrials taking a much more deliberate role in our species transition.

One of the last places I enjoyed here in San Diego is closing. Small, bar has a good a view of the stage, big names showed semi-regularly, and tickets were still always about 30 bucks.

Last big show I saw was Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. Shouldn’t have gone, seeing those guys so meek and unintelligible was just sad. There may have been stage shits during that tour but no crowd poops.

Some comment in here suggested certain artists might attract certain shitty fans.

Just give me some royalties or a writing credit on something.

Also very likely.

Well, I’m 40 and been to my fair share of concerts and fests, never even heard of people shitting in the crowds so they don’t lose their spot. Heard of and seen a sneaky piss some where or some genuine runny accidents. I’ve yanked my own broken nose straight at the edge of a mosh pit but I’ve never heard of people shitting their pants to hold a spot, nothing near creating a public shitting trend so bad artists are addressing it prior to their show.
Back in my day this wasn’t a thing; you kids are weird.

So, I wasn’t wrong in my reasons for not going to concerts anymore. 1, they’re too fucking expensive anymore. B, people seem to suck at being in public nowadays.

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve just become older and grumpier or if society has slid farther and farther away from what should be considered normal public behavior.

Also, going to the beaches here in San Diego and harassing the people harassing the seals and sea lions.

This is hard at fuck. This makes me hard as fuck.

I broke my foot a few years ago and can’t run anymore. I can’t play anymore but I’ve really been considering pulling my paintball gun out of the closet.

I don’t think that’s a George Lucas work.

The subject of the essay being the industrial revolution seems apt. Or is it ironic?

I hate flock, I hate the surveillance state we’ve lived in for decades. But you don’t just drive with a phone in your lap. She may not have been using it when the camera caught her but we all know she was definitely fucking using it. You’re lying.

It’s not hazing. I’ll bet it was during the Cobra Gold exercise, during which Thailand hosts various militaries including the US Marines. Part of the training traded is survival skills specific to the jungle environments Thailand provides, which includes eating of animals, dead or alive. Spiders, scorpions, snakes… one of the traditional hallmarks being the drinking of cobra blood as an alternative to being able to find clean water.

I’m looking forward to the Motorola and Graphene partnership. I may finally upgrade the S10 in still using.

Oh yeah, I forget how much H-D charges for new* machines. I’ve only bought 'em used.
