That was fabulous. I have one of these current gen light sabres. Hollow poly tube and super bright led makes for very fast and resilient. Makes all the sounds. Press a button and select from 7 brilliant colors. Smack it and it flashes like blades clashing. Mine has a shorter blade but it was...

Fair enough. So to return to the more central issue, let me ask “what do we actually want from AI?” Certainly there are blessings but I think the cursings are far greater. There’s no way to stop this and as Elon Musk notes, it’s probably too late anyway. Google teaches their AI to lie...

With five thousand posts over seven years, you are eventually gonna meet bad eggs. Still, this forum is overwhelmingly good eggs. Most of us can have adult discussions, encounter opposing viewpoints, even be offended and yet act with restraint. OTOH, when members haunt each other forum to forum...

So I see Aram showed up. No surprises there. BTW folks, I blocked him because he invaded a thread on home defense and tried to get me to remove my pro 2A posts from my own thread, which apparently offended him. He wanted me to remove the entire thread because though guns are cool in games, he is...

Yes you do. Someone taught you that because our system is not perfect, that it is not good when all the evidence you have is that it’s the best in history. Please read the last sentence in the second paragraph at the link you sent. Half of a thousand is 500 and none of the democracies in...

I’m a huge fan of the Alien franchise and like most of the movies. While I’ll agree James Cameron’s Aliens is the best of them, I have lots of guilty pleasure in the first AvP movie. I think it includes one of the best fight scenes in movie history, holding first place until Peter Jackson gave...

Not seeing anything new. You’d think whoever made the trailer would want to showcase that this is a new story. View: https://youtu.be/WzWi3Mhv9Jg?si=HAq1cAUSN3muVXCu

Look, Montoya moderates this forum. If he needed help, I think he would choose someone other than me or you. So far as I am aware, I have only ever had a serious issue here with one person other than you. I blocked that person and the problem is gone. Was years ago. I happen to enjoy most of...

No. I have no issues with Mudhawk. Stop making problems for others. There’s nothing wrong with the post. If you need to whimper, let Montoya know your knickers are all atwist.

If you’re asking me to remain civil you must think the above, civil. So where’s your complaint? Nowhere did I accuse anyone of anything but ignorance. I didn’t assign moral culpability. I suggested he read some. I think you’re being a little over sensitive. Absolutely, it is no crime to note...

To be honest, I hadn’t thought to turn this into a debate so I’ll be as brief as possible to address your points. There were over 64,000 separate democracies in Greece over the 600 or so years before Christ. Whomever told you it was a couple white guys lied to you. Also, anyone who led you to...

I agree with you, that examples of capitalism often fail to present a proper representation of human sanctity. I would just note though, that as a theory, Capitalism relies upon Individualism, which relies upon things like freedom of choice and private property rights. We’ve become so accustomed...

I think it would need to be the largest crowd funding in history. Lucas got $4B when he sold. To buy it before this next film you might have to pay near that much.

So back to the point she was making. What the director says she’ll be saying to men with this film: “. . .recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable, because you need to change your attitude. . .” Really, Disney? All...

Yeah. Rich people. Go figure. Better than a gold plated Ferrari, though. Did you notice the fire on the ground where the tracers hit? IIRC, tracers are normally like 1/10 the load. Crazy.

If Kathleen Kennedy had a twisted need to humiliate female characters, and did to Leah what she did to Luke, then absolutely I would be just as angry about it. With all due respect, placing the words “to me” before a sentence does not grant you permission to define however you like. There are...

I think the difference in modern films’ distasteful portrayal of girl power as compared to decades past is that the most modern is based upon radical or third wave feminism, which has at its core not a desire for equality, but rage and compensatory justice against the patriarchy. It’s one thing...

I hope you won’t mind me observing that sounds quite backward. Communism and its attendant Collectivist philosophy was handily debunked 2,400 years ago in the Greek political science lab using over 64,000 real world examples—conclusively showing that Capitalism is obviously superior. Since that...
