I used to work for a major telecoms compass until recently, working on their VMWare stack and to say they are a major customer of VMWare is to put it mildly. The cost for VMWare has skyrocketed after the Broadcom deal, so while the team were gearing up for the next gen system utilising more tools from the ESXi stack, now that's entirely abandoned and instead they're tooling up to replace it. That's over 500,000 VMs across a dozen or so datacenters. Broadcom's actions may make them a lot of money in the next few years as their customers are forced to pay this huge hike, but it won't last for long.

I only ever saw one rear projection TV in my life, and it was owned by the biggest sci-fi and anime nerd I ever met. It was a fantastic looking screen though, compared to the CRTs of the time.

This is why we say "the cruelty is the point" because this is where that cruelty leads.

Oh, 100 percent. There's much healthier ways to deal with that kind of grief.

I used to work in a shop that could easily be described as "New Age" and it has a tarot reader there. Having looked at the history of tarot but being a complete sceptic, I asked for a reading one time to see for myself how they go.

Afterwards I asked her "it's a light therapy session, isn't it?" She responded "mostly."

That's pretty much what it is, cheap, basic therapy to help you sort through your thoughts, and shares some similarities with CBT. I'd still recommend therapy if you need it, but I don't mind people going to a tarot reader if that's what helps them. But I still think the mysticism side of it can be a problem for a variety of reasons.

It's one of the tactics of fascism, to get heavily involved in sex. Regulating it, controlling it, and using the overlap with shame to control people. There's tonnes written on the subject and it's fascinating, but also terrifying.

Lionsgate is just going to get worse, based on the news that they're looking at AI for creating storyboards, removing that avenue of creativity and funneling it into a system of mediocrity that the entire rest of the production is then based on.

So the people who didn't like the idea of short pints asked if they were messing with the serving size of wine, and when told no, they went with that. Everyone else just consumed the same amount as they would've, more or less.

I've been saying it for years, recreate the Global, god damnit! Best sci-fi tech ever.

Say it with me, ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between:

The cruelty is the point!
