Thoughts on a decentralized transitive reputation system? I'm thinking of Whuffie from _Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom_.

Trump taking economic advice from a random guy on Twitter who paid eight bucks to be verified as Bloomberg

Experienced technical personnel will recognize the pattern of the interim CEO or "bungee boss"—management has no idea how to improve efficiency, so instead, they slash costs and hope it'll keep them afloat long enough to pass the buck.
It's a gambling move, not a sustainable approach.

I remember years ago when part of Tesla's strategic position on climate change was to use the car business to drive better battery tech that would go into Powerwalls to support a more robust energy grid with distributed storage.
That's all out the window now apparently.

Derriere is one of the best ones, because it lends itself to a very raunchy parody of Londonderry Air that I enjoy

And nothing is alright, alright...
And I want something else
To get me through this fight, baby
I want something else
To jam my crysknife through
His eye... His eye...

With the girl unborn, who's now at her breast
One
And you leave me
And we are broken
Still it's all that I want to do, rise to power now
Feel myself, head made of the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down
And I'm prepared to end the Spice
Feyd's got his jaws now locked down in a smile

And when the storm came in, the thopters were crashing
The atomics, they rip through the city
In my father's name, we strive
And they've made me Lisan-al-Gaib
I foresee a bloodbath next
My mother's the priestess, I must confess
She took the Water and passed the test

I believe in the worm beneath my toes
The spice gives a feeling, a prescient feeling
I foresee a warrior faith that grows
And the path I'm on would make me cry
But when I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be alright, alright

Then I rode again, and I rode again, I said
"How do I make it there to
The place where the Sleeper awakens inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said"
There is nothing else
When I look back now
Only I will remain, baby, baby
There is nothing else
I'm not listening when you say

And I wish I could get back there, Arrakeen City
But my Fremen name I have to make
Doing spice orgies lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I put the thumper down, I keep stock
And I walk without rhythm, I make for the rock
And then I jumped up, I took the worm that I was given

But my Arrakis!
my desert! my Dune! Baby, baby
I want nothing else
I'm not listening when you say
"My spice!"
My desert, my Arrakis
My desert, my Arrakis
My desert, my Arrakis
My desert--
The sand was gold, the spice blows,
I wore my stillsuit, rebreather in my nose

Keep on suffering while you go through
The first shock to the Sleeper inside you
And I speak to you like the Kwisatz Haderach
The Water of Life is what will shorten the path
But then you know the freak show takes the stage
The Harkonnens sneak attack and say:
I want nothing else

I said, how do I get back there to the place where I awakened the Sleeper inside me, how do I get myself back to the place where you said--
There is nothing else, where the fear has gone past; only I remain.

You're the priestess, I must confess, what you wear under your stillsuit, it passed the test

Whenever someone in a position of wild unchecked power promises a portion of the population will endure hardship for the good of everyone, they never include themselves.

Just absolute dogshit. Only felt like Star Trek during the brief moments Alok and Georgiou are comparing notes about atrocities and regret. Needed about 300% more of that

Lots of things I could say about this ending but really the only thing that comes to mind is "weird hill to die on but at least you're dead"

Sooooo the moral of the story is what, that it's okay to create and use a weapon that indiscriminately destroys galaxies as long as you point it at the mirror universe?

Absolutely no issue pausing in the middle of the climax to go deal with my laundry. That should tell you something

You've got it backwards. That they aren't thinking for themselves is the *explicit* text of the meme. The implication is that, like an npc in a game, you can treat them however you want because they have no awareness & thus no moral weight to their "lives".

This one's petty, but "asymptote coil" is such shitty technobabble

What's with the fucking camera work on this movie. The fucking slow motion whip roll or whatever during the fight scene in the bar and now this random quick zoom on the bloody tree?

Why is georgiou acting like this dada noe guy is embarrassing her by describing the terran empire as ruthless

Dialogue feels like they wrote every scene around having a quippy pull quote for the trailer
