Tom Cruise isn't a "bad" actor. He's just a competent actor. He doesn't seem to do anything to train or improve. His ego and the sycophants around him tell him he's already the greatest. He'll never get better.Also: I have never understood people who think Tom Cruise is a bad actor. 'Vanilla Sky' proves he is certainly not.
Should he care? The guy is 62 and he looks like he could be my son.He'll never get better.
How the fuck do you guys still remember or know this stuff? Stop virtually stalking me.She might be in kahootz with them balkan boys that rolled you.
How is this an unpopular opinion?Any AC/DC album after the 1980's sucks.
I know a few people who enjoyed the Black Ice album. Then again, their taste in music in general sucks.How is this an unpopular opinion?
Nobody is stalking you, you are pretty much just dirty laundry blowing in the wind at this point.
I disagree with every other thing you said here - But this, I can agree with you on, and honestly think is reaching catastrophic levels.the Internet and social networks will not make you smarter, will not teach you anything new, but will take away and kill a lot of time
Okay you're not wrong on that one. But ACDC after "For Those about to Rock" is non existent with me. Their later 80's input was ass. Razor's Edge only had one decent song.Any AC/DC album after the 1980's sucks.
Same for Metallica's 72 Season's album. There's two songs I like.

Like, I genuinely think we're at the point where we need to start restricting people's social media access - especially that of children. Like it's been demonstrated again and again that social media and constant connectivity is killing people's attention span, sense of self-worth, making people feel more isolated, etc.
If Generative AI doesn't implode upon itself at some point, and it keeps advancing at it's current rate, it's just going to make shit a hell of a lot worse -I feel like any person or company or institution being able to generate images or text that's passable to most people at a rapid pace with minimal effort is going to make the hellscape a hell of a lot worse.
Having people's attention span and self-image, and entertainment and social life and professional life and got knows what else be driven by these satanic algorithms designed to maximise engagement is doing enough damage for society - Having these algorithms constantly push endless slop with no human involvement, is going to make all of these things so, so much more harmful.
At some point I think we're going to need a giant step backwards societally - Just roll back the clock.
Even if 100% humans would live in simulations, they would still likely prefer to SURVIVE therefore Musk's ET colonization argument still stands - you want to spread humanity out simply to increase the odds of survival. It can be automated, done by AI, of course. Each human could even live on a separate von Neumann's probe-like vessel, if we want to have a lot of those "baskets" for each "egg", since for simulation it does not matter whether you live on a planet or a spacecraft.if you want my opinion - then this is a one-way and absolutely irreversible process.
Man has always strived to exist in a world of dreams and illusions. Big feasts and big gladiator battles. Bread and circuses. too big a brain requires constant entertainment, dopamine, etc. Therefore, after the exhaustion of the earth's resources, the luckiest and richest will end up in a matrix like the creation of the Wachowskis, and the poorest will end up in Cyberpunk 2077. AI-generated worlds will become the only "real" reality for a person to live in. Someone still hopes to colonize other planets and other worlds, but there will also be an excellent simulation game about this, you can be either Elon Musk, or Darth Vader, or their common child.
