@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts if we took 4 points off the actors looks and took away the laughtrack the show wouldn't have gone anywhere, it's an incredibly boring show/writing otherwise
@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts The whole thing I'm picking apart is the writing. That it's not good writing but is masked / carried by attractive actors that have good chemistry and a laugh track. Literally saying that people tend to laugh when hearing laughs among attractive people. Basically a psyop. Psyslop
@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts Seinfeld even joked that Friends Seinfeld but putting supermodels on the cast. Actually if you look at TV/movies at the time they used to have normal looking casts. Friends basically pioneered that attractive actors + laugh track social pressure = you don't need to write so good
@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts well sure but I don't think popularity is a good argument for quality. I don't think it had the same cultural impact as say... Seinfeld. Sort of like Avatar. Top grossing of all time, O impact other than producing other shows trying to mimick it (itself being mimick Seinfeld)
I don't complain about taxes being too high (they are) because the main issue is actually that most of the taxes are being grifted. If they were actually using the money properly we'd be in a great situation.
Cars and buses go from Oxford Station down Botley Road for the first time in three years!
The project took longer than the construction of The Titanic and saw costs balloon to £237m.
Looks good though.
@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts I like witty dialogue but I don't find friends dialogue witty. It's witty the same way big bang theory is nerdy. ie its not but it insists that it is
the first grok click on a post just feeds the post to grok as context before you can get any wider context. I think that's a bad design, 100% of the time the click is for more context, not to just wait 5 seconds for grok to re-read the post to you. Just skip to adding context
@0B1T_4NU5@TonamiPlayman@laladee12345 apparently there's some internationally used standards for HSR but Japan isn't willing to let those be parts of the system, which would result in vendor lock-in. I don't know exactly, if you click grok on my message it'll probably fill in the gaps but that's one thing I heard
@AmrikanDesiAnon@pratiktwts watch it without a laugh track. There's YouTube videos that remove them. It's one of many shows that relies the social instict to laugh when you hear others laugh. Without the track its barely entertaining.
diefication of rebel / revolutionary / reformation leaders is one of the most common form of diefication. It still happens in the modern age just look at revolutions of the 19th century. Just this time it happened w/o attributing supernatural. 1-200 years before it would have
Just very obvious that Christianity comes out of Jewish rebel groups. It's diefying their revolutionaries or group of them. The esoteric spiritual knowledge in the story was already there and the parallels are found through other cultures the middle east traded culture with
@Rjrasva If you understand that Christianity comes out of Judiasm, and that Judiasm has rituals for transferring sin, and that around 2000 years ago they were having revolts against Romans with the concept Mitot Tzadikim Mekaperet "The Death of the Righteous Atones." ...
