The first was one of the most hilariously bad and poor taste depictions of autism since Rain Man. There’s no way the second is any better.
I don’t think the older generations accurately highlighted how shitty those were as replacements because they weren’t shitty. Google, Wikipedia, and calculators actually brought meaningful improvements. This AI slop provides nothing on a shitty MS Paint meme or stick figure napkin sketch. Calculators, Wikipedia, and Google aren’t in a death race to consume water and energy faster than the world can handle. Calculators and Wikipedia (not Google tho) aren’t in a death race to move as many resources away from the working class as possible.
The other blindingly important part of those criticisms is their context. There are situations where it is valid to not use calculators, Google, or Wikipedia. Trying to say “but I want to make sweeping generalizations that miss the point of contextual arguments so I can justify AI slop burning fossil fuels” highlights just how much you misunderstand all of it.
This seems to be an alternative to Jira Service Management, not Jira Software. There’s a very important distinction between the two.
Have you seen how big the busy baby is? Your link doesn’t have the mold volume needed for the bib. For the utensils? Sure. But the utensils without the bib is pretty pointless.
Perhaps you should reach out to her and let her know that she can produce in the US? Have you done that since you’re so concerned about her grift? You’d be able to get proof she’s a real proof of shit. Of course you’ll need to provide capital since hers is gone and you’ll want to make sure to get all of her quote history since she didn’t do her research. She’s so clearly lying and you’re the only one who can tell the truth.
None of your examples are parody movies from companies with a long history of tons of sequels and dumb jokes. This is the fourth movie in a series. It’s basically been in development hell since the early 2000s. I’m not going to say this is quality; it’s not dead IP and it’s not a Kubrick. This is more like beating a dead horse (possibly) that resurrecting something.
If you wanted to make your point, something like Airplane 3 or Men in Tights 2 would have been more apt. AFAIK neither of those have been in development and they’re both from the same vein of late 20th century parody movies. The movies you mentioned would be good responses if a studio rebooted, say, Platoon as a 2000s war movie. Some movie collections like Naked Gun, Scary Movie, Police Academy, and National Lampoon are intended to stick around for a long time (even if they’re just getting progressively fucking worse).
There are maybe three sentences worth of content.

Super hard.

It drives me nuts on LinkedIn; it’s sad to see it’s made the jump to “longform” on substack.
This article isn’t really so much pro indie as it is anti Marvel and DC superheroes. A bunch of the books mentioned are Image or Dark Horse, who I wouldn’t call indies these days. Image is still creator owned (which is a good thing) and Dark Horse has been part of Embracer for awhile (which is not great). I’m genuinely surprised an article about indies doesn’t mention Bone too; that is the poster child for amazing work.
Consultancies don’t exist for improving companies; they exist to make the rich richer while giving some semblance of things like fiduciary duty.
Advanced tech? What advanced tech? People watching you on cameras? The highest rate of wake word false positives? Something else I’m too dumb to understand?
While I personally think a removal of encryption tends be on the other side of this conflict, I have been called a nonce several times by otherwise leftist folks because of my support for strong encryption(ie the only people who want encryption have something to hide ergo you’re a nonce). This is all anecdote so YMMV.
I’m glad you did! Savantism tends to be looked down on by the rest of ASD folx who aren’t savants, which is unfortunately a majority. It’s also important to note you don’t have to beat the shit out of your shins, subject yourself to loud noises and flashing lights, and do other unpleasant, torture-adjacent things just to mask. You can find communities out there that will accept you for you with or without a mask.
