If they can’t differentiate between Ai Slop and reality, maybe we should start generating videos of ICE terrorizing Maga people.

If the government had a right to that data they wouldn’t need to pay for it, they could just subpoena it. But they don’t, so instead they’re paying middle men to circumvent our rights.

As someone who is very good at driving without GPS in my local area, using GPS for long trips outside my local area does for sure slow my ability to learn the new location. But it doesn’t remove what you already know.

So if your father is becoming incapable of driving his old haunts without assistance, I would worry there’s something more serious lurking in the background beyond tech makes you dumb.

I think we all end up like the Asgards from SG-1 without the ability to transfer our consciousness to a new body.

Extinct via hubris. Obviously this assumes we do something about runaway global heating.

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but I think Tremors (1990) is very much in the same genre as Army of Darkness, and I’m pretty sure the whole movie is pure practical effects.

I’ve only watched it sober, I think it makes decent amount of sense.

You think I don’t know about beans?! I almost died in freshman year at Biffmoore because I ate a bag of uncooked beans. Dry Beans!

You’d live so long, your cancer would get cancer.

Can call the police when you threaten to hurt others, actively prevents teens from seeking outside help when they talk about killing themselves.

Agreed, but indiana roads are so much louder too. Its kinda baffling.

The youngest boomers were born in 1964, so they’d be in thier late 20s at the end of the 80’s. Which were my parents.

I also dont think there’s anything wrong with exposing your kids to older media, which was my point. Your kids will seek out new media without you, so giving them a foundation of things that came before helps expand thier knowledge base.

I feel this is exactly the same as boomers who raised thier kids on exclusively 70 and 80s “classic” rock.

I was 12 when that came out, and while I recognized it wasnt good, the pod racing was cool enough I wasn’t too upset to have seen it. I did not watch the next two in theaters, we just rented them.

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, I don’t think I’ve ever matched this level of disappointment while sitting in a Movie theater since.

4:3 monitors! Perfection.

Edit: Rise of Nations is an excellent XP era RTS

Avenger: Single Combat

Competitive Super Smash Bros Melee, we won’t ever die. And Nintendo has been trying to rub us out since 2008.

What got me through what sounds like a very similar divorce for me was being a part of a hobby with an inperson community that met weekly in every large city around me.

I drove probably 300 miles a week going to events to do anything to get my mind off life and spend time with people I actually liked, doing something I enjoyed.

Things that come to mind that will meet this are martial arts, fighting games, and outdoor activities (like biking or hiking groups).
