    Living in Colorado is a bit weird, because it’s easy to overlook a lot of the natural beauty you see every day and it just becomes part of the background.

    Every once in a while I’ll be running an errand and will have to pause for a second and just go “holy shit, the mountains look gorgeous today.”







  • Yeah it’s the same reason there’s so much violence associated with selling drugs. When you have no legal means of seeking justice (a drug dealer can’t just call the police if someone steals their supply) - you have to resort to unsanctioned justice.

    Turns out that electing a felon while systematically dismantling our institutions and trying to take away voting rights might not be the best idea.




  • Kind of. But when Amazon has the option to rent a movie for $3, and all I have to do is click that button and it will stream instantly, I still NEVER click that button. It’s not really a service issue, because it’s available instantly at just the click of a button.

    It’s more of a principal issue. Like why the fuck am I paying all this money for all these streaming services and you still want to charge me even more? Makes piracy an easy choice.



  • This is so weird to me. Are we really at a point where we need recreate old, dead actors instead of giving new actors a shot?

    Like could you imagine if we had this technology a hundred years ago and just decided that Charlie Chaplin was the best, so let’s just clone his likeness and put him in everything? You’d never have a John Wayne, a Robert DeNiro, a Harrison Ford, or a Tom Hanks. Just a recreation of Charlie Chaplin in every major movie - because it’s cheaper and less risky to recreate someone old with AI than it is to take a chance on someone new.

    This timeline is dumb as hell.
