This week?

Temple Grandin (2010) - Very good as far as biopics go

The Great Dictator (1940) - Had never actually watched the whole thing, it was better than I expected. Powerful speech at the end. Mussolini hilariously done. Striking to know that this movie predates the worst that the Nazis would do to the Jews

Cyrano (1990) - Blown away by Depardieu’s performance. This is a phenomenal version of a classic story. Best version I’ve seen so far, including the plays of this I’ve been to

As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.

This can’t be said enough. It’s almost always not worth the strain on your mental health. You’re not a student but a worker for your professor and getting paid way too little

AI, booo

Forgot 2015

Legitimate interest to train AI

I know why they do it, that doesn’t make their movies suck any less

Fail-Safe is amazing though. And I actually prefer that it’s a computer glitch, that no individual causes everything to go bad, because the problem is the system

You can assume people here know what waterfall and the V model are.

They killed Roe v Wade already.

Hissssss 🐍

Don’t preorder, what the hell are you people thinking?!

What are you trying to say? Incomprehensible

This is so weird. Do people realize animals need to eat? Why don’t we eat that food directly? Eating animals makes for less food, not more. Like how 75% of soy is cattle feed, and then vegans get blamed for deforestation for soy beans. It’s ridiculous. Willful ignorance

20 years is a bit short but… Eating animals will be regarded as highly immoral, “but everyone knew those animals suffered, right?”, on the same level as we now judge slavery

I also wouldn’t know what they mean. Fascist takeover sounds like something I would notice?

And still they’re miles apart on the evil axis. That they’re both on the wrong side of neutral doesn’t make them the same. Vote to keep the fascist out and then fight zionism afterwards

Why the downvotes? Look at that picture. The buttons are askew

Of course the Dutch version is about water
