This is no shitpost

Yeah but for what

It's actually pretty funny a lot of times, I didn't realize it's supposed to be part black comedy going into it. Definitely an entertaining movie

Interesting, I didn't even know there was a book. The article you linked mentions the film writers said the book was meant to be ambiguous and they wanted that same angle for the movie. I found it hard to not think Bateman was completely detached from reality by the time he gets to the ATM, though I thought it was at least somewhat believable to that point iirc.

The movie (and book I guess) seems to be told from the perspective of Bateman (he narrates and is in almost every scene) so I thought it seemed up in the air if anything was real or just his imagination. I took from it that he himself definitely cannot tell what is fantasy and reality and you were along for the ride with his perception. His murders and their aftermath were pretty outlandish ie dragging the body bag with a huge blood trail past the doorkeeper, the collection of bodies that all mysteriously vanished overnight, the overdramatic helicopter spotlights into his windows during the meltdown phone call, etc. I think the only realistic murder really was the hobo where he could just leave the guy there. And if some were fake idk why any of them would be real.

I have the image of Bateman being just permanently aloof and fitting the 'dweeb' description his lawyer gave while nothing happened but him staring off into the distance daydreaming/hallucinating all of his batshit fantasies or maybe scribbling ferociously into his calendar.

The wild thing to me about anyone idolizing the character in American Psycho is that it's all but outright stated outright that the guy lives in wonderland and hallucinated all of his wild power fantasies except maybe being rich. He's outright called a dweeb by his lawyer at the end once he has a complete mental breakdown. It's like someone idolizing Nicholas Cage's character in Vampire's Kiss.

Would be cool if Nintendo just made games instead of being a patent troll that rereleases the same 10 games over and over again.

I don't see why anyone buys their shit except for nostalgia at this point.

Why bother submitting vulnerability reports just because some AI claims one with no POC?

For sure, thus why I said it's a pipe dream. We can dream though, maybe we will figure out some kind of solution one day.

I maybe could have worded my comment better, people definitely should not actually assume they are talking to real people all the time (I don't). But there should ideally be a place for people-focused conversation and forums were originally designed for that purpose.

I think when posting on a forum/message board it's assumed you're talking to other people, so AI should always announce itself as such. That's probably a pipe dream though.

If anyone wants to specifically get an AI perspective they can go to an AI directly. They might add useful context to people's forum conversations, but there should be a prioritization of actual human experiences there.

About time! Been using an addon for this, I wonder how the features stack up.

Highly recommend using groups for people who open too many tabs, I categorize them and they function well as temp bookmarks. Also recommend using another addon called autotabdiscard so you don't nuke your RAM.

Wow that's pretty great savings, a lot of what I saw basically said to expect to pay over a normal listing. Seems like a pretty good deal considering the amount of customization I assume you get, you just need somewhere to live while it's building.

Do you have any resources for what you used to plan your build? Or did you mostly hire professionals to figure it out?

I wonder at what point Powell decides he should raise rates. Trump has already been publicly stating he wants them lowered faster and how he also wants to fire Powell but it's not clear if he will be (legally) able to.

Last I saw there was a court case making it's way up the courts to overturn a legal precedent regarding the executives power to oust members of independent boards so it's technically possible he will be able to legally oust Powell and install a lackey if the supreme court decides to throw out existing precedent. I think you're right and both global markets and the dollar will reel if that happens. The fed is supposed to be independent and that obviously is not the case if Trump can fire anyone who doesn't do whatever he asks.

The supreme court seemed to grow a spine on the Kilmar case so maybe they'll continue to have one when this case makes its way up.
