If a male troll gets popular, Blizzard will kill them in the most unceremoniously way possible. They *hate* trolls, and I have no idea why.

But... why...?

Seriously, that's the account's name. "Why." He's literally a joke out of an Abbott and Costello routine.

(You likely knew the name, but others may not have known)

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY Original Teaser Trailer [1991] Remastered in 4K YouTube video by Vintage Movie Trailers

The trailer for Terminator 2: Judgement Day was exactly what trailers need to be. Nothing from the film, but you still get some idea of what the film will be. The terminator from the first movie returns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX1Y...

Someone can be depressed and not be sad. They could be depressed and have an inability to sleep or eat properly and constantly hurt, yet still seem happy and cheerful around others.

Depression is not the same as sadness. And you can't snap out of depression like it's just a mood.

Symptoms of depression include:

Long bouts of sadness
Fatigue
Irritability
Irrational feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Changes to your patterns of eating or sleeping
Lack of concentration
Acute body aches with no physical signs
Suicidal and harmful thoughts

One thing that people often, OFTEN get wrong, and it infuriates people who have suffered from depression, is that depression is not sadness. Depression is an ailment of the brain, prolonged changes to normal function of your brain. Depression can be long bouts of sadness... or...

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

I’m starting to take issue with all those writing teachers who tell people to “write what you know.” Because not everything you know is necessarily interesting to anyone else.

So, WB shelved this and Batgirl, thinking they'd be bombs at the box office, but released...

House Party
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
The Flash
Blue Beetle
The Watchers
Furiosa
Joker: Folie à Deux
Mickey 17
The Bride!

Whoever made these decisions should not make such decisions anymore?

Don't worry, they can't hear the valid criticism because they're subscribing to blocklists to keep out the people who understand how to code in the first place.

Or, what your dinner parties would look like, I'm assuming. Good film for what it portrays, often forgotten in the history of cinema.

hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated

So Groucho Marx, Danny Kaye, Sid Caesar, Peter Falk, Jamie Farr, Judd Hirsch, Howard Hesseman, Mandy Patinkin, Eugene Levy, Mark Ruffalo, Adam Brody, Jason Alexander, Natasha Lyonne, Mark Ruffalo again, Omar Epps, and the five Not-Pictureds, should all be the Columbos?

Yeah, postage is frigging insane...

This Art Tracer Denied Everything Until 70+ Pieces Of Proof Came Out... YouTube video by kat 'n chat

Just a friendly reminder to #artists:

If you happen to trace or reference or use AI to create your artwork, DON'T FUCKING LIE ABOUT IT! There are enough people who know where the original pieces may be who have easy access to broadcast the links.

I’ve been paying $7-$10 an issue.

My wife returns to Mexico tomorrow, because it’s better and cheaper as a dual citizen for her to get her health treatments there than even with insurance in the USA. And most of this country still believes we have the best healthcare system in the world.

all glory to the name of god mushroom post but here is the tweet I founded my personal religion on

Looks like someone read a Chuck Palahniuk book during their Intro to Philosophy class and decided they had words that they needed to share…

Noize…. Quality noize.

Linux, you say?

Should I create a "Daily Writing Challenge" account, that just posts something to give writers about 10-20 minutes of work to accomplish based on specific things to aid them in focusing and improving their own abilities? Would people follow such an account?

It has become something psychologists and psychiatrists can use to measure how easily people handle specific tasks with their brains. Memory, pattern recognition, spatial and verbal reasoning, and processing speed. It cannot measure how smart someone is.

Look it up if you do not believe me.

I still can't take seriously anyone who argues IQ measures intelligence, or boasts about high IQs and such. IQ does not measure how smart or intelligent someone is, even given the name.

IQ was originally a test for whether children could enter kindergarten without additional support.

Why on Earth isn't Christopher Coates banned from every single convention everywhere? Obvious tracer constantly misrepresenting his connections is still doing what he got caught doing, and still invited as a guest to conventions.

HE LIVED AND WORKED IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!

When you have ChatGPT do your assignment.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...
