I'm not at all a Hair Metal kinda guy, but goddamn you can't resist the incredible energy of this track.

I am not sure about Evil Dead franchise's future
Raimi's Evil Dead were just a unique phenomena, they are products of the time and the talent involved that you just can't intentionally recapture.

I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

Check on your male friends to see if they need help
"Men are victims of the patriarchy too" is an incredibly powerful message that I wish more men understood.

Hilarious that this is true and yet the US is still somehow fatter.

Is marijuana-induced psychosis a real thing or is it just more reefer madness scaremongering?
DO NOT ASK SOCIAL MEDIA IMPORTANT MEDICAL QUESTIONS. CONSULT AN EXPERT.
Almost all of the replies here are wrong or missing important information.

Competition shows humans are still better than AI at coding – just
Clickbait title. This is in the context of competitive coding, which is a very specific and constrained programming exercise with a time limit. Which is not at all comparable to real world software development.

Why is Neuromancer so hard to get in to?
It's not written like typical sci-fi, it's more like an art house (for lack of a better term) novel that happens to have a sci-fi setting. William Burroughs was a major influence on his writing and Neuromancer is perhaps the most obvious example of that.
It rewards re-reading immensely, I would advise to just go with the flow and don't sweat the bits you can't quite grasp, a lot of it makes more sense over time or clicks when you re-read it. It is incredibly worth it, imo, an absolute masterpiece of literary talent and prescient speculative fiction.
Having said that, if that style isn't really your thing and you prefer more straight-forward sci-fi, then you will probably not dig it.
edit: After posting this comment I re-loaded my feed and there's a post about William Burroughs directly above this one. Bill would be pleased.

I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?
Spend your money, travel, get outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Or get professional help.

Second languages
I taught at an English school in Osaka for a couple of years in my 20s and ended up getting told that in Japanese I sometimes sounded like a little kid because I taught a bunch of kids classes and picked up some language from them. I'm a 6'4 Australian man with a very deep voice.

Almost half of Russian youth do not want to vote for Putin. The Russian President does not have much support from Russians under 30 • World News
I mean, "almost half" means that the majority still want to vote for him.

More a student of history than a predictor of the future. What's happening in the world at the moment is nothing new, human societies are pretty predictable, at a broad scale.
