Re: What do you think of modern movies?
I've bought subscriptions to all the major movie-providers but rarely seem to be able to find anything to watch among the modern movies. I'm not quite sure what it's about but they somehow just don't grab my attention or peek my interest. So, I often revert to rewatching old favourites. Sounding like a Boomer, at 39!

Takes all sorts to make a world.True, of course a Buddhist would tell you to meditate for a few hours every day on the fact that the whole world is an illusion and so are you. On a related note, meditation is total self-absorbed egoism. Every hour you spend meditating is an hour you DON'T spend on helping the poor, the sick and the weak.
Oh no! Here we go…

I'm not really a trekkie but can you tell me more about exorcising Klingons?
@lobster is something of a court jester. Don't take at least half of it literally.

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
Have you heard about the AI homeless man prank? This is a kid taking a bunch of pictures of his empty family home and asking AI to insert a homeless man in them, and then dispatching them to parents in some kind of escalating order…. Homeless man at the door, homeless man in the living room, homeless man in parents bed.
Apparently this has parents so freaked out that they call the cops… multiple times the police helicopter was called in… Now the police have kindly asked kids to stop pulling the AI homeless man prank!

I’ve seen @federica exorcise a few demons from the newbuddhist forum, and they don’t go quietly. It can get scary at times!..
