This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference’s old link naming structure.

It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.

But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis…

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

otherwise you don’t realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.

Isn’t that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

It’s okay to not like Tarantino, I don’t care much about that, but your argument doesn’t really hold up for me.

I work on a helpdesk, my phone rings around 8-12 times per day, and most calls are less than 10 minutes. I work a 7.5 hour shift, and at most am on the phone for an hour or so total on an average day. I’m also in an office cubicle farm, not working from home, or behind a series of closed doors.

Lately, between taking calls, I’ve been reading books, looking at my phone, practicing French, and watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation on my iPad. The upper management knows I, and my coworkers, kill time this way between calls.

We’re efficient problem solvers who get our jobs done with no issue, so the downtime is spent how we see fit.

This reminds me so much of the twins in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Doing the bull dance, feeling the flow, workin’ it

workin’ it

Ferrari 9-10 shouldn’t be surprising but it is.

The hard tires are murdering Carlos atm, what a shame.

George still running on those softs at lap 25 is nuts.

Uh oh, George is saying it’s raining again 👀

Lando leads a lap! What a start.

Brundle having trouble finding people on the grid is wild, how is Silverstone so mild?

McLaren wtf Zack is so fucking pumped, proud of that guy. What a performance from Norris and Piastri.

Personally, mine was ninjas.

Power Rangers, 3 Ninjas (original one only), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But also, the early 90s Dick Tracy movie? I never actually saw the movie, still haven’t, but the imagery and products really captivated me at 4.

I thought my chest was going to cave in multiple times while watching this one.

This is a lot of what I was concerned about, for sure. Well said.

I do agree, but it’s also had ads for a very long time.

I think the basic idea is that data collection is a form of uncompensated labor. The matter of what it’s worth isn’t the issue, but the fact of it being worth anything to anyone at all, and it being taken from you with little to no choice in the matter. Not to mention bought, sold, traded, etc.

Yes, a lot of it is tied to agreeing to a EULA, but we all know that just about anything we click on or do on our phones and computers is tracked, stored, sold, and used to make money in dozens/hundreds of ways, EULA or not.

I don’t think I’ve ever bought something because of an advertisement.

Side note, this is incredibly difficult to believe, tbh.

Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.

Count that as the first strategy blunder of the day!

Jenson in the safety car, cheesing like a kid haha
