To me it was 9/11 that started the insanity… Either way, if you look at movies from the 80s and movies from today, you clearly see the humanity lacking from todays movies.

I quit at 50, living on savings and stock market…

I dont know, its just something awful about working every day. I got sick of it.

Now im not doing anything special but im free to just live.

People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.

When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

That was 1990. :)

I played poker with my girlfriend. Watched fireworks for maybe 10 minutes.

Don’t worry so much what everyone else is doing. I also don’t drink on new years eve.

The public is full of people who do what they are told by our culture. You can choose to follow or not. :)

Pathetic would be to go out and hate it, just because you are afraid of what others will think if you don’t.

I will try it. People are too negative about mozilla. They are a hundred times better than Google and we need them to survive.

Oh yes, they must be very private.

Glad to see there are a few more people like me. :) Yeah that movie was a disaster but it appealed to the public apparently.

Yup it was clearly a joke. It’s her sense of humor. :)

I strongly agree with you OP, about Hollywood. They can’t put actually ugly people in the movies so they try to act like someone is ugly when they are a complete stunner.

Another thing, in movies and TV shows they keep saying “you look tired”, to actors who look competely normal and really good. No difference at all from their normal looks. And yet, they keep doing that shit. Once you think about this, you get annoyed every time it happens.

Ok my movies are:

Oppenheimer. Such a boring movie and everyone loved it.

Gravity. George Clooney is a charming clown in space, doesn’t fit the story at all, and everyone liked it.

Probably more, but those are the absolute top rated ones that I don’t agree with the public on.

Sounds like he was just coming over to her and security stopped it.

All my stuff is on a network drive (movies and other big files). All configuration of apps is in git (their config files).

Makes it easy to start over.

I just reinstall apps I need, it’s so simple with Linux and package managers handling it all.

I bet this is blown way out of proportion. Some guy who had a beer recognized Diane, security stepped in when he talked to her.

Celebrity web site makes a big deal for clicks. The article seems to suck up big time to the security team and BBC, and notice how it has zero details what actually happened.

It’s just to generate attention and ad clicks.

I live in Sweden. It was common with ethernet connections in the apartments when I was growing up. So not a time machine. But I could be getting the exact year wrong a little bit.

And it was 10 mbit connections, so that’s just about 1 mbyte / second. Still plenty fast when it arrived.

Today I have 500 mbit connection with option for 1000 mbit. It’s common here.

Edit: I asked chatgpt and it was 1999 that the first apartments got 10 mbit / sec connections. So I was off with about 5 years actually.

But you have Netflix and social media… Aren’t you happy? So much fun to spend all energy at work so you sit at home exhausted until the next morning.

1995 or so. My first apartment had 10 mbit/sec internet. Was so cool to download anything in seconds. :)

The bait and switch classic.

Hacker news users seem happy with its performance, so will try tomorrow. Fun with new terminals.

Without social skills, you are cursed to be alone, yes. Humans don’t hang out with people that makes them feel bad.

Fix your social skills or be alone. Your choice.

You just need to look good and you can meet someone in any random place.

If not, you will be friend zoned at best, disliked at worst.
