Same. Honestly, once you’ve taken a step back and can treat it like any other mythology, it really feels less… I dunno, I guess “heavy” is a word that works here.
And a second shoutout to the Hindu invention of the concept of 0.
And teaching them how to do Islamic ablutions, like using mouthwash and washing their hands. And showering! Heinous!
Wasn’t there some massive dust-up about ISIS posting beheadings on BitChute?
This is exactly why I, as someone with a history of suicide attempts, refuse to use LLMs for anything. The risk is too damn high. Hell no. I don’t trust AI as far as I can throw it.
Understandable, have a nice day.
I can’t be the only one who unironically likes this song.
Their spines are fascinating. They’re designed to store a lot of potential energy and release it in short bursts.
Rabbits can fuckin’ move, and the biomechanics behind why is absolutely enthralling.
Paper. Rock. Scissors.
*ensure. Ensure means ‘to make secure’, and insure means ‘to have an insurance policy’.
But you’re right. Unfortunately, the biggest weakness with AI is that it’s a funhouse mirror. Problem is, none of us are having fun.
Bottoms who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have an auditory processing disorder be like: 👁️👄👁️
He was a good guy. I’m ashamed to admit that I believed some lies about him for a long time.
This is one of the reasons why I love love love cinema history. The lengths that the crew and creative team went to in order to make an illusion work is just mind-boggling. One of my favorite things to do as a kid was watch the DVD extras about Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Labyrinth, all that.
One of my favorite forced perspective tricks ever was Darby O’Gill and the Little People. That old Irishman playing a fiddle above a cavern full of leprechauns, galloping around a pile of ancient treasure on tiny horses, and then rushing off to hunt foxes through a magical crack in the wall?
Literally, one of the most incredible feats of practical film illusion ever concocted, right up there with the velociraptors of Jurassic Park and the chest-burster from Alien.
Andre had a lot of joint problems related to his gigantism, as well as physical injuries from his wrestling career. He self-medicated with alcohol, and became addicted to it.
It was really sad.
Jump 200 years into the future, and go from there. If things are better, then I’ll gladly stay. If things are worse, I’ll look for ways to either go home and break time, or stay and try to fix it/help other people survive.
A Knight’s Tale has a lot of very deliberate and very obvious anachronisms in it. But I don’t feel like they detract from the story. It felt a little out of place, but at the same time, it felt more immersive.
That, and Heath Ledger was brilliant and Alan Tudyk was hilarious.
Several knives, blades, and daggers in my dad’s knife collection belonged to his grandfather, and were passed down to his father. He says he plans on dividing the collection among his kids when the time comes.
Knives mean a lot in our family. We each got our first pocket knife on our 8th birthday, the same way our dad got his first one. Knife safety (especially passing a knife) is part ritual, part common sense. We give them as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and Easter. It’s a way of making sure the people we love the most will always have the oldest and most useful tool mankind ever invented in their pocket.
I know it’s considered bad luck in some cultures, but to us, it’s a heartfelt act of love. I’ll be honored to have my father’s knife one day.
I read on the wiki that the expert they brought in used that pronunciation, and (not knowing any better), it was the one the actor used.
First rule of bandcamp, is you don’t talk about bandcamp.
