The scene, for context:
Will: [both leaning on a pick up truck while drinking beers and smoking cigarettes on a construction site] What do I wanna way outta here for? I’m gonna live here the rest of my fuckin’ life. We’ll be neighbors, have little kids, take 'em to Little League up at Foley Field.
Chuckie: Look, you’re my best friend, so don’t take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you’re still livin’ here, comin’ over to my house, watchin’ the Patriots games, workin’ construction, I’ll fuckin’ kill ya. That’s not a threat, that’s a fact, I’ll fuckin’ kill ya.
Will: What the fuck you talkin’ about?
Chuckie: You got somethin’ none of us have…
Will: Oh, come on! What? Why is it always this? I mean, I fuckin’ owe it to myself to do this or that. What if I don’t want to?
Chuckie: No. No, no no no. Fuck you, you don’t owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me. Cuz tomorrow I’m gonna wake up and I’ll be 50, and I’ll still be doin’ this shit. And that’s all right. That’s fine. I mean, you’re sittin’ on a winnin’ lottery ticket. And you’re too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that’s bullshit. ‘Cause I’d do fuckin’ anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin’ guys. It’d be an insult to us if you’re still here in 20 years. Hangin’ around here is a fuckin’ waste of your time.
We must defeat fascism by any means necessary.
Even if it means voting.

27·17 days agoAI-written books are the equivalent of chalkboards in movies covered with random, meaningless equations meant to look sciency.

Ha ha! I remember this site from way back. It does a great job showing how all those deep, stalactite-like ice berg pictures are fake because real icebergs lie flat and wide.

I never saw the plot twist coming! (Except in the last twenty AAA games I’ve played.)
Yeah. As an interactive toy, it kinda fails because it has that samey “10,000 bowls of oatmeal” problem that Kate Compton talks about with procedural generation. But as a screensaver, it’s nice.

41·1 month agoYes, it’s meant to be more than games. It’s more of a “here’s a cool thing on the web you can just check out immediately without having to verify your email or close a bunch of popups first” kind of web pages.
