4·1 year agoI wouldn’t celebrate too soon. The precogs they’ve got writing stuff over at the Onion are rarely wrong, they’re just early.
You would love the movie Slaxx.
Makes me feel better though!
And it took less than 30 minutes for one to show up here.
Subscribed! Thanks for the link.
I don’t think serial killers are scarier than sharks. I can see myself surviving an encounter with a serial killer. I cannot see myself surviving an encounter with a goddamn shark.
Yeah it’s awful, I really hope they fail but I’m not entirely sure they will. Most people who sign up are probably pretty good advertising targets.
I mean, Telly is giving away TVs that have a camera and second screen to play ads. Sony might not think they could get away with it a decade ago, but consumers seem to slowly accept more bullshit over time so I could definitely see their calculus changing in the future.
Honestly I think it’s just a shit idea. Only way I could see it flying is if you heavily (or completely) subsidized the cost of the television. There’s already a company giving away free ad supported TVs.
Yeah absolutely, here’s the filing:
Oh Sony is all over it, here’s one of the diagrams of their patent.
I mean we see that with Sauron and Frodo in the films. It would appear that having the ring on your finger when severed does fuck all to help you out.

The writing feels so close to Shitty_Morph from Reddit I was prepping myself to hear about The Undertaker and Mankind about halfway through.
So what exactly are you disagreeing with? You just don’t like their word choice? Because “Hey we should he careful or the extreme right will take over and dismantle our rights” is exactly what I get from OP. They specifically stated this is the beginning, it’s happening slowly, and they feel they would be a target if we continue on the same trajectory. What’s incorrect/hyperbolic here?
Pretty much all of history dealing with fascism disagrees with you. That alone justifies the concern. I haven’t seen anyone say the world is a year or two away from unimaginable suffering or death. But there is a very clear path to unimaginable suffering or death in front of us. We’ve seen the path of fascism taken before. We know what happens. We have historical and academic research that backs it up that we can compare to today.
Saying (without any evidence) that people are overreacting sounds much more like a coping mechanism to me. People are saying “hey we should really check out this smoke billowing under the door” and you’re telling everyone they’re being silly because you can’t see any fire.
This one is my favorite so far
