an obstacle less technical people maybe get stuck at is "it shouldn't work" so they won't try it, but domain experts know it's all so absurdly stupid, stuff works even if rationally it shouldn't
I suspect this is the underlying root of IT having to tell everyone to, really, turn it off and on again

A still of Wesley Snipes in New Jack City. A black man in dark clothing has tear tracks running down his face as he points an out of focus gun at someone. The meme is that the poster is sad about having to do an unwanted action.
when I see a 90s quality pic online of an actor I liked as a kid playing a 90s videogame on a CRT but I know from 30 years of being online exactly which of those pics existed and are real versus which of these are just the robots and people working with the robots trying to play tricks to deceive us

2 metal pins show wings with parachute in middle, one says Airborne across the top.
when I was on the Medal of Honor team I got a metal Airborne pin as a team award, this style, from EA, so p r e t t y close imo

this art rules, but it's so unfortunate that if the year said (2025) instead of (2015) my experience would be to doubt it by looking at it like this, which so far isn't so bad given the ratio of stuff online from over a few years ago but doesn't bode well for how this plays out in the decades ahead

I haven't seen the movie but (a) isn't that the main plot of the 1924 story Most Dangerous Game, and (b) is there news of literally that happening yet, or are we thinking of it in the sense of DHS quotas and bounties, which I definitely dislike, but I think is slightly different in an important way

when I was a kid "you could grow up to be president of the united states" was something said as a compliment but for kids alive today high school or younger can you imagine how discouraging and insulting that must be to hear, and what a terrible person someone would have to be to put that on a child

it couldn't predict vegas would no longer have a legally enforced monopoly on this nonsense
likewise the movie had to track each runner because everyone wasn't carrying GPS devices and posting online constantly 😂
it did show people bet on who didn't know they were involved in it, so that holds up
