Bloody Hedgehog posted:Community centers exist, but it's like a building that sits empty 90% of the time and they open it up when someone books it for a wedding or something. They have a "kitchen", but it's like a sink and a hotplate. No one just drops in at one to do some cooking. that’s regional in some places they have full commercial kitchens that they will even rent out to small home/cottage food businesses.

I don't think for most people its all that difficult to tell the satire from the real deal, and that's satire. Of course I say this and a guy literally made a company that made bad slimfasts and named it "Soylent" so y'know.

Trabisnikof posted:It is a case of mistaken identity when George is kidnapped by an enemy spy organization called SNEAK. During his ordeal as their captive, George discovers his exact doppelganger, a secret agent named Space Bong (a take on James Bond), who aids him in escaping their grasp. They literally just stole this plot from The Man Called Flintstone

dr_rat posted:Are community center/neighborhood houses not like a thing in the US? I just assumed they did have them as like 80's movies mentioned them all the time. In Australia it would be weird to live in a city and not have a community center/neighborhood house somewhere near by. Guess what happened in the 1980s.

Milo and POTUS posted:Ahh man a spy named flintstone was dope It's kinda lol how the movie presents a stone-age space program completely straight faced. Also a bit where Fred and Barney are trapped on an ICBM with no escape, and glumly resign themselves to their fate, and are at least able to change the target from hitting anyone.

In NYC a lot of seniors lean on them pretty heavily for food and socialization. It's one of the few city services that actually works, probably because there aren't many elderly migrants.

So is the AI worshiping us, as it's creator and all? Feels like that would be a pretty weird church service, but I dunno seeing it from the otherside could be interesting.

If I prayed I'd ask the gods for a 4090 every time so I can probably relate to the AI. It can have my hand me down 970
