Oh god... millenials are going to go extinct aren't we... Are we sure this isn't a boomer created virus to hand over the world to zoomers... Come 2025 we'll start seeing zoomer-boomers being born... oh the horror

It's the government's job to delegate roles, when they themselves lack the competence. Then another less competent party comes in to defund that delegation with no plan to handle things themselves. Bunch of **** heads I tell ya

John Horton Conway, 82, has passed away from COVID-19

I have a consumer question. So I plan to build a new PC, namely for Cyberpunk 2077. Ryzen 4000 (Zen3) seems to be launching a good month or two after the game. So should I just go with Ryzen 3000 (Zen 2)??? My take is it would be somewhat cheaper of a build. The GPU probably matters more. I'd have less guilt re-upgrading to AM5 for DDR5 when that comes out. I'd get to play some games from my backlog sooner and isolation is certainly itching at me. I believe AVX512 also failed to get into Zen 3, so less of a reason to upgrade to the new and expensive half-measure. Also Nvidia GPUs work well with Ryzen CPUs right? I've only ever had Intel/Nvidia machines up to this point.

I believe 4000 mobile is Zen 2 while 4000 Desktop coming late fall is Zen 3. It's possible that 5000 will not be ready for AM5 DDR5 5nm, but instead it is Zen 5 (Ryzen 6/7000) where everything comes together. I'm sure the DDR5 lobby is ready to get the ball rolling, but it will take some time, and I could see it becoming consumer ready in 2022. If it does launch in 2021 it will be late, and won't really be consumer viable until 2022 anyways.

The buttons are already modeled off the Vita, which is one of the most premium feeling products and easily best d-pad I've ever seen. I too thought it looked liked the love child between a Portal turret and a DualShock 4... must have been for... science...

Sort of implies stupidity is beating corona, but in fact it's aiding it...

I motion to rename Artificial Intelligence to Automated Hindsight

Wonder if one can find iodine... Someone out there is coming out of isolation with yellow hands

Deus Ex is still easily my favorite game of all time, and I only first played it in 2012. It's prescience... uncanny edit: I don't think the virus is a conspiracy though, but I don't doubt people are trying to capitalize on it... shame really.

1. America's stimulus is paid from an immediate inflation of the economy through the FED conjuring 1.5 Trillion benjis 2. Canada's stimulus is also paid off by the sweat of it's people. Why need a stimulus at all then? It keeps the economy liquid. How does America / Canada really side with Corporations? All the tax cuts, selective Congressional fundings of contractors, the state of banking regulation and magical evaporation of people's savings. I'd argue the current inflation which robs people of their past labor is a more acceptable form of financial policy than what happens during the "good" 9-13 years runs between major crises. Just most people don't recognize it's in the good times when they are actually being robbed. Leave it to those benefited by the neo-lib corporatists to constantly cheerlead for their own neo-lib team as if they are the people's watch dog's. Conservative vs Progressive is just a fight for which elite get to drink from the slush fund for the next 4 years. I believe Athletes or in this case Hollywood composers can have valid opinions, but this cat is dead wrong.

No Country For Old Men was good. It came out at the same time as There Will Be Blood and even filmed in the same vicinity. I find myself preferring the later, though you probably need more patience for the pacing of the later. What tied No Country For Old Men together for me was Tommy Lee Jones' character, without that I think the film would have struggled to find closure. It sort of became a different film in the later third. Haven't read the book, but it was strange to switch the lead character that late into the story. Somehow it worked and was what was needed.

I thought Wasteland 3 came early? Or is that just my windows...

Bill Withers - 81

Wtf... I feel I've seen that before but must have successfully purged it from my brain. Good thing that sordid sleaze stain is rotting in prison. You hope hell exists for people like him.

I think this is the sort of myopic apathy is only possible while reality hasn't sunk in. If you're insulated because you're homestead, I consider you to be upholding civilization in the small. Even those people will find out that they need long distance trade for basic commodities. There is no good to come from misanthropy.

Imagine wanting to live in a world run by Square Enix...

I have to imagine it's all about putting the HP role as far behind as he can. I'm sure he loves the franchise as much as everyone else, but it it's an insanely strong typecast over him, and it made him and alcoholic. Gotta establish yourself apart from that. Emma Watson has also been fairly successful after HP, but she's honestly a bit stiff. It worked great in Bling Ring and Little Woman though.

Not sure if you've heard of the extended phenotype, it's a very important concept in evolutionary biology and Dawkins himself has dedicated a book to it. What you're describing very much sounds like what one would describe as an extended autonomic system, which is a concept I've never really put together before. From head nod up for friends, and down for strangers, basically compulsory behaviors that exist only between people or in the social structures at large.

Pi is a fantastic film, I will fight you.

If you're referring to a recent r/truefilm thread, I just defended it mightily from unfair onslaught.

I'm a big Aronofsky fan but still have not seen Black Swan... It just doesn't call out to me.
