Haha, that’s good. For a moment I thought it was real, then I saw the community. Thanks for the laugh.
zero@fek.xyzOPto Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China7·1 day agoOn Wednesday, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, met with President Trump at the White House and agreed to give the federal government its 15 percent cut, essentially making the federal government a partner in Nvidia’s business in China, said the people familiar with the deal. The Commerce Department began granting licenses for A.I. chip sales two days later, these people said.
Sounds very unusual, so Nvidia is giving a kickback to the White House? No matter how I look at it, I can’t see how this isn’t a conflict of interest. I’m quite certain that someone will say the 15% kickback will be used in R&D etc to stay ahead the competitors but where do you draw the line between revenues and national interest?
I have a very short attention span unfortunately, if I get bored after 10 minutes I move on to another. It’s not uncommon for me to watch a movie in 2 sittings due to time, work, gym etc. Weekends if I’m not gaming then I’ll be able to watch a few movies in 1 go.
I really like Foxx, Leguizamo and De Niro, that’s the only reason why I finished it. The same reason why I watched Armor and Alarum “starring” Stallone, but compared to these 2, Tin Soldier is perhaps a bit better lol, surprisingly I actually watched both these movies in 1 sitting.
Thanks for the comment!
Just like any book, you can walk away from a shite movie, too.
Hahah, you’re right, I probably should have walked away from this but I really like De Niro… still don’t know why I punished myself but oh well.
Also, OP, with respect: De Niro is a personal metric for quality? Ya lost me. AFAICT, De Niro hasn’t been a reliable performer for a long time, (sighs in The Irishman) … but I’m genuinely curious about your take on that.
The last few movies (Killers of the Flower Moon, Father of the Bride, Part 3) and TV shows (Zero Day, The Wizard of Lies) I watched, I really enjoyed. I actually liked the Irishman! I really do enjoy a good script and good actors, but it’s debatable what appeals to me might not necessarily appeal to another person. Are the recent content as good as say Casino, Taxi Driver, Heat etc… I don’t think so.
Still no lossless?

Have my upvote as I do enjoy reading other people’s perspective.
Wait, TV or penis? Jk!

Absolutely, “I promised them women”, that hit me hard.
Had the same feeling. Every time I thought he was dead he pops up again out of nowhere. I don’t know I’m hallucinating but did they try to humanize him a little bit? Like there were parts I felt like he knew those were his kids.
Tough question. There are parts of the second one which is really good, subjective of course, but everyone I’ve spoken to agree the first 10 minutes is really good (was directed by Boyle).
To me the story is not connected, but still worth a watch.
No apologies needed, I absolutely agree with you, loved the first 10 minutes, middle was a bit meh for me, then the subway scene was really good to me too. I actually asked my wife if I did that what would she do, she said definitely not a kiss lol.
zero@fek.xyzOPto World News@lemmy.world•Trump could meet in person with Putin as soon as next week, White House official says5·5 days agoIt matters. He needs a new supplier after his buddy offed himself.
The zombie “titties” and naked women are there too, absolutely, but there’s something uniquely ludicrous about the film’s focus on swinging, sprinting masculinity, a kind of visual punchline to apocalypse. And we don’t see this in movies very often. I actually thought the Alpha was Jason Mamoa for some reason, had to pause to Google it as I was pretty sure he wasn’t in this movie.

It’s frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it’s not too late to do something about it.
I’m implying that the powerful do nothing to help the Palestinians because they have nothing to gain out of it. Just like all the other countries with starving people and wars going on that don’t get much coverage. They will suffer and die because the powerful people have decided they are not worth saving.
Has Madonna been to Gaza?
