YouTube announced they will stop recommending some conspiracy theories such as flat earth.
I worked on the AI that promoted them by the billions.

I watched The Usual Suspects for the first time today. Holds up surprisingly well, despite the internet having spoiled Keyser Soze’s identity for me many years ago. I can see why Kevin Spacey won an Oscar for his performance here

Watched Alita: Battle Angel earlier today. Pretty good. Fast pace, excellent visuals and fight scenes. They tried to cram a lot of the source material into a two hour movie. I felt like they ended in a weird spot, obviously expecting to be able to do a follow up
After watching I immediately passed by a friend’s house to borrow these. Must be more than a decade since I last read them

Repost from AnnoDracula:
No actor should ever be cast as Batman unless they ace this scene in a screen test which then gets leaked online. Indeed, all former Batmen ought to record their own versions.

I’m very amused that Dwight Schrute (from the office) voices Lex Luthor in DC Animated’s Death of Superman, but I have no one IRL who shares both those fandoms so instead I shout it down the well that is Twitter

I have a Yahoo Calendar reminder that stopped sending me email reminders for some reason in mid 2013 and mysteriously resumed in 2019. It’s like someone accidentally killed a cron job and they only found out last Christmas

Fixed time, fixed scope projects always end in 1 of 3 ways:
- We move the deadline.
- We reduce scope.
- We implement “crunch mode” , everybody puts in 80 hour weeks till the deadline, burns out, quits and goes to work somewhere else.

It’s weird that Videl has a win quote “I can hold my own in a fight” even though she fights with Gohan/GreatSaiyaman. PS I don’t actually play this game I just enjoy the videos

There should be an emote for “Hey man, just let me have this win, I’ve been grinding for hours and only need one more to rank up”
Doesnt even matter what game I’m talking about!
And of course, there should also be the appropriate emote response “Sorry man, I still need to get my daily win” And also “BRB man gotta pee”
