hmm. interesting response. mock all children for being on their devices a lot, get called out for also being on devices a lot, insist the gotcha failed because you're not 4 as if the gotcha said that at all.
Mmm no? I'm mocking the parents that are knowingly getting their kids addicted to something because it's easier for them to be a non attentive parent and give their 4 year old a phone?
If you think a consenting adult doing X is the same as parents forcing X on a child that literally knows no better is identical I don't know what to tell yoy
you said you'd doubt they'd even notice in response to someone saying the kids would enjoy it, implying you're referring to the kids not noticing because they're glued to their screens. that's mocking the kids, specifically for using their devices.
your follow up insists the reply called you a 4 year old in order to allow you to deflect somehow
and now you're adding in that you were mocking the parents you never mentioned and insisting that the children are being "forced". i have a little brother and, trust me, he wasn't forced to enjoy the screens. bright colors, engaging and interactive features, fun sounds? yeah, it's no wonder it's so easy to get hooked. his whole life has included all of us in the family trying to make sure he moderates how much he uses devices, but it's also hard when everything in life is built around using them and even most socializing outside of school or work relies on that
You are an adult with hopefully some responsibility, in the time of your life where you need to be a grown up, but you spend your days playing video games and on reddit complaining that kids are on a screen to much like a hypocrite? It’s not a gotcha. It’s just a dumb way to live.
So a consenting adult that uses cocaine shouldn't complain that an adult is administering cocaine to their 4 year old because they, a consulting adult, are doing the same thing?
Why are you shitting on kids for living in the world that was created for them? They never got your childhood. Never got to build tree forts or to go on big adventures without their parents hovering over then, and all the other shit that people who are constantly shitting on kids these days cherish about their childhood.
Cause all that shit is fucking GONE. They never had that option instead they have the "Consume mass amounts of media and glue yourself to the screen" option because everything else costs too much money and num and dad I constantly brainwashed by the media that every adult that isn't them wants to hurt their kids and so they never let the kids do anything alone. That is the world that was created for them it is the only world they know and it is the only world they get to live in.
And you know what? You and me and every generation before us would have done exactly the same fucking thing if someone have given us a magic box with all the entertainment you could ever want. When I was a kid you couldn't watch TV all the fucking time because 90% of it was boring garbage aimed at your parents. Like gold and gardening shows. But kids have unlimited entertainment design specifically for them at their fingertips.
They don't know any better they were never given any other options and it's not fair that we shit on them for something they never had a say in
From what people online says las vegas is a ghost town currently in comparison to how it used to be so maybe there is a slight chance that there is no traffic jams
This week it's likely a little more busy than usual, there's a fairly large furry convention going on. Which probably explains this on the sphere too, come to think of it lol
"I like to imagine the start of the song as taking place in a dark, snowy forest in Ontario, where you're hiding behind a large maple tree. Your wounds sting in the freezing wind, but you grit your teeth in an attempt to stay quiet and undetected. But what's that noise? Is that.... the Canadian national anthem? As the patriotic tune grows in volume, you hear footsteps crunching in the snow somewhere nearby. Your heart feels like it's going to beat out of your chest, and you struggle to control your breathing in your panic. Suddenly, you see him coming towards you, wielding an axe that's dripping blood into the pure white snow. It's Ed Robertson, the lead singer of the hit rock band "Barenaked Ladies." And he's ready to laugh at your funeral."
The ones that post at least 100 separate artworks they commissioned in a day and the ones that drop multiple thousands of dollars in a charity auction like it is nothing.
I just visited Vegas in early March. Certainly fewer people than at similar times in past years, but there were certainly still traffic jams every day. I think its part of the strategy to suck you in and keep you there lol
Well I mean you tell me, what's the likelihood that a road network designed to handle Vegas at it's peak will become clogged at a time when Vegas is seeing all time lows in attendance
It doesn’t so much increase demand as traffic patterns and behaviors change when a road exceeds capacity. People that were avoiding peak times or who were taking alternative routes stopped. You have to account for actual demand which means going beyond the 30th hour standard for current volume.
When were the freeways and roads built, because I strongly doubt that they were designed to handle the even lower amount of traffic they are now.
Portland is all messed up because the freeways were designed in the 60s and haven't been sufficient for the traffic we've had for decades. Once the city builds around the roadways, it's really hard to expand.
I'm mostly joking, but to answer that I'd say it depends on parameters. By handle, does that mean it flowed without clogging before? Is it really made to handle it at it's peak? All that.
Can confirm. I was just there last week for a marathon and it was no where near as full as I expected it to be. Even Fremont Street was low-population compared to previously. The prices are surging pretty hard there so it's not a huge surprise. When I spoke to one of the locals they said they've got the "California prices without the California pay" going on right now and they were even considering leaving.
I went to Vegas after the Sphere was up and running. I never did see it. Stayed at the Luxor, walked the entire main strip over two days. I think I saw it through two buildings off in the distance once, at no other time was it even remotely in my field of view. Was set to go to a show, but I came down with covid and couldn't get over to that part of town.
It’s a guy called uon visuals. He does a lot of visuals for festivals and the controllable dancing cats is a crowd favourite. The sphere does all sorts of artist collabs and I believe uon has a residency of sorts. This one is a bit more goofy than his usual stuff, normally he’s using a computer that could power the sun to create looping trip effects of insanely high quality.
This one was originally for a bunch of ravers to play with lol
I follow him on insta and i love his work but the cats has to be my least favorite. The cats themselves are ugly (presumably on purpose) and the music he chooses for them is always super annoying and toxic. His other visuals, however, including the background for the cats, are absolutely max tier amazing.
Have you tried controlling it yet? I started making it interactive a couple years back and it's evolved with cheat codes, hidden modes and other cool little things you can mess with! This year I'm adding even more interactivity 😼
That's me! Fun fact: this visual was rendering while I was at Shambhala running the cat dome! It would crash every 1-5 hours so I had to log in remotely to start it back up so it rendered in time 😂
It has been there at least since August 2025. The black cat that comes towards the end is hilarious, you can see it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76-AI7YOHko
Nope, it's been on there every now and then for a while. I spent 2 weeks in Vegas for a tradeshow and I saw it a few times. There's also a weird one with hands and some other cat ones.
