smell is the sense most strongly linked to memory

I got two of those down, but I could be dommeing a latina soon so I’ll have all three and finally ascend to the next plane of existence

‘Economic destiny’
“This will be an incredibly exciting time as we take control of our economic destiny to create a new Canadian economy,” Carney said.

To this end, he promised to abolish existing trade barriers between Canadian provinces by July 1 to expand the economy, and to strengthen trade with “reliable allies”.

this will be an exciting time indeed; I’m eager to see how this develops and Canada’s economy decouples from the USA’s and flourishes in spite of it

why’d you think the second one was terrible? like did you think the movie is bad or was the at-home experience a bad one?

I loved the second, maybe even better than the first. or at least I feel the second has more rewatchability

ohh I see the male defaultism everywhere. I am a woman and work in a warehouse, it comes up often when all the folks (another woman in the warehouse with me) are referred to as “guys”. sure, most of the folks are men but still, it’s kinda disrespectful imo. but I saw a super clear example the other day watching a Cody Ko youtube video where Cody was commentating on, like, cringe podcasters or something. but there was a man who was addressing a 4 or 5 person group of only, all women. the male podcaster felt uncomfortable saying “hey women” or something and then chose “hey guys” instead. like, how more egregious can you get? they’re ALL women, and yet you think it’s a-ok to refer to them as “guys”. how hard is it to go to “hey gals” or “hey ladies” 🙄 as an aside, I hate when people say “men and females” like we’re a separate fucking species. I see that shit everywhere on less leftist communities, like reddit. haven’t seen it too much yet on lemmy but it’ll happen eventually as the site gains more users

the pilot doesn’t deserve being gendered? the child, okay I can see having their info private. but “3 women, and child, and the pilot” just seems a lil weird y’know

they’re named as Andres so they’re probably male identifying (edit- the article also uses “he”, so even likelier that they’re male identifying) but still, the women are ID’d by their gender, but the child and pilot by their “role” or age or something. I hope it was a consent thing, the pilot didn’t want to be listed by their gender, but the women were okay with it?

anyway, they couldn’t drink the water they were floating in because of leaking plane fuel contaminating it, but they had some flour to eat so they were in somewhat healthy conditions. quoted as “amazing conditions”, but I think that’s relative to having been deemed missing for those 48hrs

they were extremely fortunate, but still that’s gotta be a mind fuck to be surrounded by human-eating reptiles just lurking in the water outside the contaminated area. don’t fall in! life saving water within arms reach but you can’t get it safely. I’m glad they were airlifted to hospital, they probably needed a rehydration/water IV inserted

I like these pirate ones

we’re too comfortable with life’s conveniences, and then throw some apathy on top

when the world seems on fire
but you’re told that it’s fine
that’s depression

the ending is a great joke (a literal cop out) but I agree it isn’t all that fun to watch. it (purposely) is very anticlimactic. even with all the shenanigans going on thru the movie, it still has the main plot of Arthur finding the Grail, and people want resolution to that. it’s part of our storytelling DNA.

if you aren’t cringing at your past dumb mistakes then you aren’t growing as a person

after watching that, AI is fucking weird

holy shit I accidentally pointed at the monitor (touched it) with a 6 inch, thick, stick magnet in the 4th grade. got in trouble for “possibly damaging the computer” or whatever. I think the spot I touched the screen had some residual color change “damage” for some unremembered amount of time. I always felt stupid cuz how could I be so careless to point a magnet at a computer (I knew enough then to know that was a no-no). it’s good to know I didn’t actually fuck anything up (aside: changing memories of the past is time travel)

yes, that’s an important caveat. we only know what earthy carbon-based life and its signs look like, with dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide being key signs because they’re only made by living organisms on earth. looking for those chemicals is our best chance of identifying extraplanatery life because we dont know what the key identifers are for acarbon-based life. it could be that we have “found” life elsewhere but we just don’t realize because it not something we’re familiar with the data we get

lol, the irony here that this is a very used meme

do you know where someone could acquire those higher end products through other channels? some Chinese or other website selling quality products for cheaper than the brands but still for a profit for them?

I don’t think Trump cares about much outside maintaining his social position (being upper class, not going to prison, having media attention).

the nefarious fucks behind him (Putin, Musk, Thiel, etc) are the ones who want take over the world and reshape it into a technofascist dystopia where they have total control

the end result is largely the same, but Trump is just along for the ride as a useful idiot

what in the hell is going on
