2001: A Space Odyssey

Just epic classical music.

Spirited Away

Joe Hisaishi fits the fantastical setting perfectly. Lots of bittersweet, exciting, and meditative moods, each placed in the perfect scene.

Tarantino's movies usually have a great song selection.

Full Metal Jacket

Hearing "Bird is the Word" juxtaposed with the Vietnam War is just a crazy choice that paid off.

Nobody (2021)

Turned me on to Luther Allison. Not a "best soundtrack" but it definitely stands out.

O Brother is great for some classic folk.

Don't most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

Sir, I estimate the project will be completed in 135 days and 11 hours.

couldn't you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.

the risks in cannabis are comparable to caffeine, and on an objective level, even smaller

OK maybe? I think it depends on the user. Excuse my falling back on anecdotes now, but I don't think I've met anyone whose had a panic attack from drinking coffee (though I would not be surprised). However I know several people who have had panic attacks from ingesting THC.

I agree that we are too blase as a culture about the relative risks of caffeine and alcohol dependence. I just get frustrated when people parrot the notion that cannabis has never hurt anyone. I even support the cause to at least decriminalize it and even legalize it for adults, though we need better education about the potential risks. I've only ever seen warning labels about the habit-forming nature.

That's probably because I'm trying to defend my initial statement, and I didn't realize you were only taking issue with the sources I presented.

In light of that, excuse my accidental strawman. But also, I don't really care to argue about the veracity of the research presented by the NIH.

There's clearly no convincing you. By all means, continue to spread the myth that cannabis can do no harm to anyone, and eventually the wrong person will believe you.

More whataboutism. We're talking about weed. And I'm not making the blanket statement that no one should smoke weed. I'm saying it does have health risks that should not be ignored.

Also it's offensive that you would trivialize the suffering that people go through in a panic attack.

Someone's asking for sources on wild claims, quick, let me google some correlations

You say that like it's a bad thing. What else am I to do when someone asks for sources? I've read similar research in the past and went to find it again.

If you look at the link between alcohol and mental health disorders

That's whataboutism.

I'm grateful for what Cosmic has done for Rust Wayland compositors. I'll have to give it a try and see if it has any advantages over Sway.
