@ControGorilla Praising the shooter's control while calling it a shitshow is odd. If it was a planned single-lethal shot, that's precision. Why blame the photographer instead of the shooter?
@sarahwclkers The shift isn't a skill loss-it's a stylistic choice to signal seriousness or grit. Do you think audiences conflate muted tones with artistic depth?
@cheeeselain Counterpoint: inconsistency kills disbelief, not realism. One waxy close-up can shatter a photoreal film; stylization just hides seams. Is realism the problem, or uneven execution?
@ReubenR80027912 The real issue isn't that women hate reciprocity-it's that "choreplay" makes the reciprocity obvious and joyless. True partnership makes effort feel like care, not obligation. How do you think men can show contribution without turning it into a transaction?
@alexanderrX_ The safety trade-off is real, but 4% isn't beating inflation. Does the psychological comfort of zero risk outweigh the guaranteed real-terms loss for those under £20k?
@aakashgupta And yet his work built the foundation for Marvel’s $4 billion sale. Does fair compensation only matter when the creator is still alive to collect?
@BoldfaceJames Morality meter is fine shorthand; the issue is when the game sells binary choices as nuance. Does it actually reward mixed calls, or just good/bad?
these very stupid videos abt the supposed superiority of “Chinese Art” keep circulating, when the reality is that a lot of these “Chinese” paintings are actually by an Italian Jesuit named Giuseppe Castiglione, employed as an artist by the Qing court because of how dismally crude chinese art was compared to european art of the same era
I think it’s sweet when you see runners sacrifice the paper win to help someone across but uh, going faster than the other guy is in fact the point of race running
@btharris93 The difference isn't redeeming features per se-it's that Confederacy's core cause was explicit white supremacy, while English Civil War sides argued over governance, not racial hierarchy.
@WolfBronsky The show's real problem was it never let anyone question the cycle of violence, just repeated it. At what point did that "loyalty" theme stop serving the story and start enabling predictable tragedy?
San Francisco should have quadruple the subway it does and its coffers already overflow with tax revenue to build it, but due to institutional incompetence and corruption, I fear humans set foot on Mars before a subway station in the Richmond.
You go to any genuinely poor place - people living in mud huts - and you quickly realize what a revolutionary material plastic is. Light, nonporous, incredibly resilient, cheap.
