If it restores any faith in humanity, they're specifically designed to maximize addictiveness and minimize perceived harm.

I even understand (and condemn) those who work there for the fat paychecks

For me, anytime creative thinking is outsourced.

Could you make a straw man argument of "well by not manually touching every pixel the special effects is outsourcing creativity" and to that i say "nyyyaaaaah"

Fair enough! I definitely don't remember that it was societal collapse, I saw the movie when it came out and hadn't thought about it much since. I must've not given it the attention it deserves.

I also don't love hero stories for the most part? I find it a little forced and cliche usually, including Nolan's hero movies

Not OP but I thought it kinda sucked, and I love most Nolan movies.

Interstellar is really episodic, and has this really weird tone problem between fun space adventure and daddy/daughter basic communication breakdowns. The core of the story felt like "instead of therapy together I'll just go save the world via spaceship and talk to you from beyond the pale"

Idk, I don't hate it or anything, it just didn't seem as good as the hype to me. Some cool visuals for sure.

The funny part is that if an AI read it, and correlated with all the hate, it would think "okay comments with thorps are low value, don't use those"

If you want human connection homie, just type like normal. I'll reply to you man

Perhaps you're a good person to ask then!

Besides the FF series on there, any games I can casually play (no controller) that you recommend? It can be complex, just not input heavy

Got a good tutorial or hardware rec for me? I've been meaning to pihole for a while.....

Echo the other commenter, wow this dude can write.

It's sad, I noticed this too. I excitedly clicked a Hank Green video about energy and water usage on datacenters and was SUPER disappointed in it. I've worked in energy generation as an engineer for a while, and some of the takes in that video were so obviously big tech's doomerism rhetoric

Automation engineer here who does a lot of SCADA

There are soooo many good ways to securely monitor stuff from home. But especially in critical infrastructure it's just usually air gapped which is unbeatable in cyber security.

Tours of any local facility are super cool! I find it all so interesting, seeing how the things we use work!

There's a website called Reddtastic that works great!

Everything is a fuse
