Oh, man. Vendors of OCR software can make big money now by rebranding as “AI-powered”.

So interesting that you mentioned this film because when it was new to the rental market I watched it, and it was around this time that Mel had weird bigoted events in the news. I was indifferent and mostly ignorant of exactly what he did, and even so, I was skeptical and doubtful as well.

However, we liked Apocalypto so much that we started rewatching it with the director’s commentary. Mel was such a fucking ass that he ruined our enjoyment of the movie. He was incredibly disrespectful of the actors in the commentary. He was not so much disparaging of them, but he effectively communicated how unimportant they were to him and how they were nothing more than disposable objects to him.

Then I recalled those vague bad things I had heard about him in the press, and I thought, “Hmmm. Maybe this guy is a vile piece of shit.”

On the other hand, disturbed fuckheads can make great art. There might be good reason that in the old days, artists were kept on a leash by wealthy families.

When a group of American freedom fighters go to take over a U.S.A. military base and hesitant soldiers aren’t sure if they should follow a traitorous president or their oath to the Constitution, the American freedom fighters being well-armed will make the difference.

In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.

Same, but a year ago.

Also, Temu has tried to take all the shopping search results from Bing/DDG. So those results are trash now.

I didn’t like that movie.

No. Stay and fight. The theater of conflict is closed. There is no place else to go.

If you leave you’re the same as these fighting-age single men fleeing Syria or wherever. Literally or metaphorically, you’ll end up drowning in the Mediterranean in a pathetic cowards death.

To the radical old-heads like me. If you have stage 4 cancer, then you ain’t surviving. That’s a license to do anything because you’ll be dead in a year. Find a billionaire and do what needs to be done. Of course I mean give them a stern talking to; I’ve heard psychopaths respond well to those. And not one of the famous ones, they are actually not as bad. The less famous ones are also more touchable.

Stay strong in the struggle.

I’m not the person you are replying to but I do have one answer.

The Library of Congress should be tasked with maintaining a searchable index of Internet and World Wide Web sites. No ranking. Your skill at finding sites would be related to your skill with writing search queries

If you recall Altavista from the late 90s, I am thinking of something like that
