Titanic: Project 401 allows you explore a jaw-droppingly authentic recreation of the RMS Titanic, from first class all the way down to the engine rooms.

Can't wait for the submersible DLC

I say this with affection: the Honor & Glory guys are absolutely fucking insane. They’re going on? Eight years of work now? With the eventual end goal of recreating every inch of Titanic in painstaking historic detail. There used to be an actual game planned for the environment as well but I think at this point it’s 100% about the ship.

Godspeed, you lunatics. Hopefully my computer will be able to handle the end product.

The gag on trailer park boys where Julian is perpetually holding a rum and coke is so funny to me. There's one episode where they crash their car and Julian crawls out of the wreck still holding it unspilled in a glass and it made me laugh so hard I thought i was gonna throw up

Things cops believe are “technicalities”:

  • Can’t submit evidence they stole
  • Can’t submit a confession they got by threatening to beat someone
  • Charges were dropped for lack of evidence
  • Charges were dropped for lack of a speedy trial (generally, starting within 30 days, unless the defendant waives that right)
  • Judge blocked a subpeona for private information
  • Judge refused to admit recordings made illegally
  • Judge won’t allow testimony from a witness who was guilty of contempt of court
  • Defendant’s lawyer was incompetent so the ruling was thrown out
  • Jury found the defendant Not Guilty despite the cops being very sure he did the crime.

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

i’m starting a movement to stop calling this shit “artificial intelligence” cause it’s fucking not. it’s not intelligent, and the things it produces are not informed by logical choices. it doesn’t know how to research sources for you. it doesn’t compose art thoughtfully or meaningfully.

call it machine-generated, text generator, chat bot, but it’s not intelligent.

There’s one guy in Columbus Ohio that has a completely unique strain of Covid that we only know about because of how much he is shitting and it is baffling researchers.

His identity is a mystery but they know where commutes to because his shits turn up there too.

Imagine going about your daily life blissfully unaware that there’s a research team dedicated to tracking you through your actual shit

that was the Devil

I mean they wanted rain

His name was Charles Hatfield and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t make a deal with him, but I am saying that you should be very clear about the terms and conditions

I think we need to fully appreciate the fact that the reason he “looks like the Devil” is that many depictions of the Devil in American popular media are specifically caricatures of this guy. Like, imagine being a con man and fucking up your hustle so badly that for more than a century afterwards people start drawing the Devil to look like you.
