  • This is so weird to me. Are we really at a point where we need recreate old, dead actors instead of giving new actors a shot?

    Like could you imagine if we had this technology a hundred years ago and just decided that Charlie Chaplin was the best, so let’s just clone his likeness and put him in everything? You’d never have a John Wayne, a Robert DeNiro, a Harrison Ford, or a Tom Hanks. Just a recreation of Charlie Chaplin in every major movie - because it’s cheaper and less risky to recreate someone old with AI than it is to take a chance on someone new.

    This timeline is dumb as hell.

    I’ve got an older mouse too that you could add weights to like that. Was nice feeling like your mouse was substantial. Now most mice are made with as little material as possible and they sell that as a bonus of being ultra light weight. I hate how they feel!

    Thanks! Yeah I have a Logitech G500s and a Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyper speed right now. After using my computer for a while, my wrist gets uncomfortable. I’m thinking of moving to a vertical mouse. Maybe a Keychron M5 or a Logitech MX Vertical.

    Last night I got a wild hair and decided to search for ergonomic gaming mice. Most of the top results were to Reddit - and holy shit is it bad. I swear half the comments were in the same format like:

    “As a 39 year old engineer who likes X and Y, I like the blah blah blah”.












  • I know you’re joking, but I just wanted to point out one of my pet peeves and why your statement would never be released. In all these cases of police harming civilians, the writer (whether it be journalists or the school in this case) always switch to a passive voice.

    They never say “we injured them” or even “police deployed chemical weapons.” It’s always the passive voice “pepper spray was deployed.” As if the pepper spray just up and decided to deploy itself, that crazy silly stuff!
