Also: I have never understood people who think Tom Cruise is a bad actor. 'Vanilla Sky' proves he is certainly not.

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.
 
Another good Cruise movie, even if it is a weeb wet dream, is Last Samurai.


Only mistake they made here was putting music over the machinegun. Should have just been the gunfire making sound like in Heat.
 
My unpopular opinion is I belive AnnaBanana is only stimulating alecs package to get to his stimulus package.
@alec bruuu I don't care how many times you two has reenacted that mailbox scene from Piss I love you.. She might be in kahootz with them balkan boys that rolled you.

Edit: So I might've mixed up p.s I luv u and the lake house.. no big deal.

I disagree with every other thing you said here - But this, I can agree with you on, and honestly think is reaching catastrophic levels.

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.

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.

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.
 
We will never spread out over the universe. If it were possible, it would have already been done by another civilization.

Plus, it doesn't matter. This is not base reality. It's a punishment governed by Nietzsche's idea of Eternal Recurrence.

It is and they have. They're just so advanced that whatever they are using we can't pick up with our primitive scouting equipment. They got mega structures circling our star for example.
 
Vicious Mockery and Crown of Madness is just instigation made manifest in dnd. Turning opponents on each other by roasting and weakening enemy dynamics is goated
