Single most disturbing scene from a movie that wasn’t rated R

Also the name of one of the best sci fi novels ever written, which has references to the phenomenon

I’ve been learning Haskell, and now I won’t shut up about Haskell

Snowcrash is awesome, your free library doesn’t mail books does it ? 😂

I came here to point this out and love the way you stated it. Confusion, hesitation and unnecessary lane changes are what create traffic. There has never been a major highway development in history that didn’t cause at least some short term issues. We should give city planners a bit more credit than that

Growing up as a musician I was always trying to be the contrarian that hated Nirvana because they were so popular and their songs were so ‘simple’. I’ve since realized the error of my ways

Just picked it up for myself after bouncing off fighting games my entire life and this one finally feels like it bridges that gap of being incredibly accessible for absolute trash while maintaining an incredibly impenetrable upper echelon of performance. And it just looks so incredible

Damn, Post-Rock is in shambles

Never seen this before. It’s incredible!

It’s an endless cycle. You work hard to enforce your ideals, then when you have the power to make decisions you realize how dependent you are on others to facilitate action. And every one of those people wants something in exchange. Suddenly the ideals you sought to enforce become diluted by compromise, everyone is unhappy and there’s a giant bear called greed knocking on the door into your mind.

Anyone getting into Eno probably already knows this, but Music for Airports is right up there with Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works for its influence on ambient music going forward

It’s not wrong, I love Hamm for his work in Mad Men but I’ve yet to see him in anything else where he didn’t feel extremely out of place.

Thank you for writing this up. Blindsight to me is exactly as good as it is hyped up to be. I think it crops up in all recommendations lists because regardless of what you’re looking for, it is something one should at least try to read. It’s one of the only books that I will actually reread every now and then. But I won’t pretend that Watts’ pros or character work is what brings me back. It’s purely the scope and delivery of his ideas that makes the book so fascinating and the atmosphere of the novel completely supports the abstract nature of his arguments.

The fact that Echopraxia is not as praised as Blindsight has always led me to believe that the book was missing the parts that made blindsight so great, and frankly without those parts blindsight would be a below average sci fi novel. I will move this up my TBR list based on your recommendation.

Soiled it!

The large orange one appears to have a crying babies face on it that looks remarkably like Donald Trump…

I also love Radiohead, weezer, BCNR, Swans and joy division… soooo

Stormlight Archives blows mistborn out of the water for me personally.

I wept.

On new game + in Armored Core 6. Absolutely phenomenal. FromSoft is unmatched in their ability to craft an incredible gameplay experience
