At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.

Yeah, I would pay less under Trump and so would everyone in my area. The brackets that would pay less under Kamala can’t afford to live here. Still a very blue area.

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

Two men walking in the bar and going straight to the bathroom together. Man jumped to conclusions.

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Some info on the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meșterul_Manole

I can only find the full text in the original Romanian or in Spanish.

The second one is The Goat and Her Three Kids, an adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, but somehow much more grim. I can’t find a full translation, but the Wikipedia article tells the story in good detail. The story has been adapted into a horror movie in 2022.

One of the mandatory texts in my country’s curriculum was the story of workers building a church and the head architect had to bury his pregnant wife alive into one of the walls, because creation requires sacrifice. The entire crew killed themselves once the building was complete. But that’s in high-school.

The first story that starts the 1st grade textbook is about a goat with three kids. The wolf comes and kills two of the kids while the mother is out (third kid hid too well). He then places their severed heads in the window, grinning, to make it look like they’re waiting for their mom. The grieving mother proceedes to invite the wolf to a feast (he’s family), which is actually a trap to burn him alive as revenge.

Capitalism is provably directly producing unscientific research at research institutions,

So you agree the second statement is not really about science.

That TNT looks like it’s an actual pillow. I wonder if that’s what inspired adding everything else.

I don’t think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.

This is mine

Yeah, I got the reference. I just think it would be funny if one of the characters with a lisp would be the one to say “precious”.

he mutters “it’s mine. all mine.”

I want to hear Daffy or Sylvesters saying “mt precious!” at least once during the movie

I thought AI was great at picking up context?

I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

I recall dreams the same way as I recall real events. There are no actual images or sounds that I can “see” or “hear” in my mind as I think back on the events, but I know I’ve seen and heard those things. So it’s difficult to answer the question. Did I “see” things in my sleep, but remember them only as ideas, or were they just ideas in the dream too? I tend to think it was the former.

You imagined a lot more details than I did. For me it was just the concept of a ball. And then the idea of it moving. The person and the table were left our as irrelevant.

The thought experiment I use when explaining to people about aphantasia is a much simplified version of yours: “imagine a circle”, “ok”, “what color is it?”

That’s it. People give an answer, sometimes including more details, like texture. Then I tell them that for me the question doesn’t make sense, I just imagined the idea of a circle and didn’t actually “see” anything, so there’s no additional detail to it.

Looks like they photoshopped a crocodile onto a bear

According to the article scientists already collected samples and ruled out some theories. They still don’t know what it is. So not something easily explainable.

I use multilingual keyboard layouts, so I know that at least on Windows the selected layout is specific to each window. If I chat with someone in one language, then switch to my IDE, it will not keep the layout I used in the chat window.

But I also have accidently hit the combination to change layouts while doing something, so it can happen. I’m just surprised that Cyrillic с is on the same key as C, instead of S.

Oh, right, using the same function name in multiple structs is what threw me off
