I wasn’t ever even looking for support. I just wanted to not be treated like I was a burden and that their money and physical possessions, inanimate objects, were more important to them than me.

Like why even fucking have a kid if you’re going to act like they’re a fucking burden by the time they’re fucking 8? Yeah, because I totally asked to be here, mom. You didn’t fuck me into existence or anything.

I wouldn’t delete stuff from the laptop manufacturer right away, but the AdwCleaner is an AdWare cleanup app from Malwarbytes and can be safely removed as it had nothing to do with Windows Defender.

Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go in terms of partition size. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive. Depending on how much RAM you have and your page file settings, a significant portion of that space you’re looking at could just be a page file for swapping data in and out of RAM.

Have a good none, Bob

Bob Dole: The average American’s dead!

Savage, and true, in the case of that film.

But Jeff Goldblum is still alive, so you’ve got that going for you, in that universe.

I am the walrus

Donny, The Big Lebowski

Is this the Steve Buscemi quotes part of the thread? Because if it’s not it should be.

There’s just something enticing to me about the “man vs. nature” theme when it comes to an alien planet’s flora and fauna, which both Pitch Black and Riddick offer in spades. I can understand why you like it for the reasons you laid out, I just found the world building and politics boring myself.

Also, Riddick has Katee Sackhoff while Pitch Black has Keith David.

I feel like Chronicles of Riddick is the weakest of the three Riddick films personally. Very big on world building but feels like a slog compared to Pitch Black or Riddick.

Sorry, added the film title. Fight Club.

When people think you’re dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.

Fight Club

Doesn’t really give me goosebumps, but I think about it a lot because how much of a lie it is, especially because the Narrator/Cornelius is too full of himself to recognize the only people stopping to listen to him are people who are actually dying themselves. He isn’t dying, and isn’t actually listening to any of their stories, certainly not with sincerity or care. He is just merely… waiting for his turn to speak.

It doesn’t get better than JC Denton in Deus Ex.

Fight me.

Altman and a few others, maybe. But this is a broad collection of people. Like, the computer science professors on the signatory list there aren’t running AI companies. And this isn’t saying that it’s imminent.

You realize that even if these individuals aren’t personally working at AI companies that most if not all of them have dumped all kinds of money into investing in these companies, right? That’s part of why the stocks for those companies are so obscenely high because people keep investing more money into them because of current the insane returns on investment.

I have no doubt Wozniak, for example, has dumped money into AI despite not being involved with it on a personal level.

So yes, they are literally invested in promoting the idea that AGI is just around the corner to hype their own investment cash cows.

I feel like these people aren’t even really worried about superintelligence as much as hyping their stock portfolio that’s deeply invested in this charlatan ass AI shit.

There’s some useful AI out there, sure, but superintelligence is not around the corner and pretending like it is acts just another way to hype the stock price of these companies who claim it is.

If the SD865 is the undisputed champ does that mean that the Lite version is actually the best for Switch Emulation since that’s the one that ships with SD865?

Damn it can play Mario Odyssey?? I am a little surprised it can emulate Switch games, but damn that’s cool.

I understand why it’s Android but that also feels so limiting in a way…

I wish they would just raise prices rather than making everything shittier.

The companies, in response to you:

I have all three seasons soundtracks, because they’re all so good.

Joe Pera is my favorite out of all of them, honestly. I wanted to get him to sign my copy of his bathroom book “A Bathroom Book Not For People Pooping pr Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape” when I saw his standup show but the crowd was too big and I gave up.

Joe Bennett, the creator of Scavenger’s Reign on HBO and Common Side Effects on Adult Swim did the art for Joe Pera’s bathroom book, which is how I first found his art.

C. Martin Croker, voice of Zorak, died too young. Losing him was a big punch in the guy to early Adult Swim lovers of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and the Brak Show.

Well for one Ugly Americans was never on Adult Swim. It was a Comedy Central show.

Mike Tyson Mysteries is definitely a forgotten gem though.

Tragic that it never got a full season. One of the best.
