Reminds me of the biologist from Annihilation. Time to reread the trilogy I guess.

1·18 days agoMan, this is Lemmy in a nutshell. Someone offers a well thought-out and well-written view to give some perspective on the other side of a popular Lemmy opinion, and the first response is just straight up ignoring the opportunity to have a real conversation and attacking the commenter as a person.
This place fucking sucks.
They’re culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t go in a fruit salad.
I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn’t follow anybody, and after a week I couldn’t upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).
Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.
What I’m getting at is, fuck tiktok.
Man, it’s worse than that. The CEO left in September 2019 with a multimillion dollar exit package, and went on to become a chairman of GM. The guy below him who mobilized the security team left to be the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. I did a deep dive video on this today, but I dont want to spam the link. It’s in my profile in a recent comment if you’re interested.
I actually just made a video about this story today. It’s crazy how far ebay went with this.
The movie is very loosely based on the first book. The screenwriter read it, had a dream about it, then wrote the movie based off the dream they had, intentionally never referencing the book while writing it. Which… Idk. Kinda fits the vibe of the story, but I’d love an authentic adaptation of the book, because it’s incredible.
The second book was a hard read for me, but it’s worth it to get to third, and honestly the third kind of retroactively makes the second one better. There’s supposed to be a 4th in the works I believe, but don’t quote me on that.
