Originally posted by POLECAT I had to stop at the first line in the first statement, what if the universe isnt space but hundreds of other realms beyond the ice wall all with ice walls of there own and only the elites can go from one to the other.
why have we never watched explorers go around the world from north pole across the south pole and back to the north pole???
all the countrys have signed a treaty saying no one can go below like the 40 parallel
I mean... I certainly haven't visited Antarctica myself, so based on the empirical evidence at my disposal I'm forced to remain skeptical about whether it's a so-called 'continent' as we're told it is, or an ice wall at the bottom of a huge dome holding up the oceans of the Firmament. Hell, even if I could get to Antarctica, I probably couldn't do so without falling asleep at some point on the journey. How could I know, while sleeping for who knows how long in reality (could be 8 hours, could be 89 million years! everyone pretends it was 8 hours... but who knows..?), if we were where I'd be told we were? Maybe I was asleep for 2000 years and flown to another galaxy where a landscape like Antarctica exists. I might awaken in a plane over the ocean, but in actuality be someplace else entirely! An entirely new reality, made just to contain me! A prison!

Originally posted by Cowboy2013 I guess it's good acting. FX was full of shows with cheesy villains/antiheros that seemed like they came from early 2000's Dwayne Johnson movies.
Then again El Camino mostly had the same actors and just seemed like some shitty Netflix movie (I think it may have been) but it didn't have the same vibe as the show at all.
I watched El Camino right after it came out and I was fucked up on bundy (I think that was literally the last time I did bundy... jeez, I'm such a good gorl these days), so I kinda chalked up that "vibes off" feeling to being rather high. If you weren't in a noteworthy state like me, and you felt the same when you saw it though... idk guys maybe Vince Gilligan is...

Originally posted by Donald Trump It's amazing to me how a MORALLY SUPERIOR BEING like Cranson can pass for a hardened guy. Acting is amazing.
De Niro is the epitome of this. I dunno, maybe he grew up hard in the 1950s or whenever, but he's an old man now and he's been soft af for way longer than he experienced hardship. The most intimidating thing about him when he's off stage is the fact that he probably knows a couple mob guys since they like his movies so much. Wild how different he is from the characters he portrays.
(Anyway, I'm obviously not going to see Barbie - Ryan Gosling is in it, and I wouldn't want people to think I'm a man.)The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-07-21 at 8:42 AM UTC in The Death of BeautyI was discussing an animu recently, wherein the creator committed the cardinal sin of "having a sexy woman character who wears something closer to a mithril bikini than 50lbs of steel plate armor". See, I was making fun of someone for trying to justify this design choice and explain it terms of the setting/lore (he had a good justification too, despite how obviously untrue it was in terms of explaining why she was dressed that way). I joked that I think "women only complain about sexy warrior women in bikinis because they find it funny watching men squirm to explain it without admitting it's because they practically worship feminine beauty", and it struck me that the weakest part of that theory (ie the part some brainless fuckwit is most likely to start an argument over) is the idea of 'feminine beauty'.
I really hadn't internalized it before, but women aren't beautiful. They aren't allowed to be beautiful anymore. What physical traits make a woman's body (hereafter, I will be dropping the "'s body" part, because it's hella autistic) less beautiful? I could rattle off a handful of things off the top of my head no problem, sure, but what about our culture? Like... body positivity has replaced our culturally shared understanding of the womenfolk's beauty with a culturally shared void, in which echoes the implication that a woman's beauty can't or shouldn't be understood. (Body positivity, as a philosophy at least, extends to all humans - "the beauty of a human body" is a concept that shouldn't exist. That is not the reality of the body positivity movement in practice, of course. Even those who are truly philosophically engaged with the idea are unlikely to adhere to the idea with religious conviction.)
They still get to have Opinions about which drapes look ugly too. Actually... wait... shit, do they? This was originally a poast about body positivity, but I got to that line and I had to rewrite stuff 'cause it dawned on me: someone made those drapes. They get to have opinions about drapes for now, until a prominent drape maker goes viral on Twitter saying they feel "so attacked" by people saying mean things about their drapes. After that? I'm not so sure they can. Making drapes is art, and you can't just go around saying mean things about people's art - only a total piece of shit would do that.
Fuck. The end is nigh. Society is an evil totalitarian regime, only it's not a 1984 or a Brave New World situation...
It's...
It's Harrison Bergeron. Gross. Goddammit.

2023-07-17 at 3:39 AM UTC in This is getting a little ridiculous (CSI Miami Edition)I hope your friend was smart enough to be as cooperative as it's humanly possible to be without becoming a full-on snitch. The way you put it, it kinda sounds like he refused to tell them anything. It's not necessarily going to get you out of the murder charge, but it might, so like... my guy... just tell them you used the knife at a drug dealer's place, and that you aren't going to tell them who the dealer is 'cause you don't wanna become the next body they investigate. Why are you tryna avoid implicating yourself in other crimes at this point? It kinda doesn't matter if they've got your DNA on a murder weapon - odds are you ain't going to accidentally implicate yourself in some other, more serious crime.
People are so fucking weird about cops. Don't get me wrong: they aren't your friends and using your Miranda rights and the 5th amendment are important. But it's not like when you get arrested the correct play is always to clam up, be super uncooperative, plead innocent, and insist on a jury trial. Sometimes it's smart to plead guilty. Sometimes it's smart to be open and cooperative. Sometimes, a bench trial is a better choice.
After a certain point, the cops, prosecutor, and judge are just going to want you in jail for wasting their fucking time.

It's not a matter of will, so much as ability - I can't stop him. There have been times when I asked him to stahp because I was getting a little worried that he was too into whatever he was doing, but he is his own creature and more to the point... idk, he's seemed totally sane today.
He's fine, anyway. Just having a bit of harmless fun.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2023-07-15 at 11:28 PM UTC in ( ◉◞౪◟◉) Meikai's Bad, Terrible, No Good, Schizo Thoughts of the Day (༎ຶꈊ༎ຶ╬ )What if life is... like... really, really abundant in the universe. So abundant that even sentient, sapient creatures like us are commonplace. More abundant than the most fantastical and silly sci-fi would portray. What if it only looks as though nothing exists "like us" elsewhere in the universe? Or here, for that matter. What if the limiting factor in the detection of another species and their civilization(s) (even ones in our own planet's history) is that, while intelligence is ~always an evolutionarily valuable trait to possess¹; opposable thumbs are not².
Like... whales, man. What if whales are just... down there, appreciating the golden ratio in shells and speaking to each other about what it means for one to be a virtuous cetacean? You can't refine metal under water. You can't cook. Stuff doesn't burn, saltwater is corrosive af, and even if you somehow managed to heat something to the point it melted;⁴ water is way better at conducting heat than air. Which means you'd need way more energy. Massive disadvantage.
What if your cat knows more than you? What if cows are sapient? They certainly have mouths, and they are screaming.³ Imagine: wolves and deer are both sapient and of ~equal intelligence, with the main disparity resulting in the current predator-prey dynamics simply being the body plans they were left with by evolution. (Which, hell, may have in turn been shaped by their intelligence! Both working hand in hand all the way, as creatures became capable of making infinitesimally incremental better use of themselves. There are probably a ton of potential beneficial traits which could have arisen randomly as a result of genetic mutation but would be bottlenecked by a creature not yet being intelligent enough to capitalize on good fortune.)
Maybe sapient aliens really don't visit us, and maybe it's not because 'life is exceedingly rare' and 'they all die(d)' in some 'great filtеr' event, but just because they have it a lot harder than us? Maybe they're sentient orbs of fat with infrared vision who float around the ocean on another planet, staring at the stars sagely and doing hella astronomy but physically incapable of doing much else. Maybe evolution left them with both the intelligence and the physical capacity to create civilizations, but their planet and its wildlife are unimaginably more murderous than ours - ie they're struggling against a Mother Nature who is even more murderously hateful than the one who presides over the lovely charnel grounds we inhabit, their existences torturous and progress toward civilization torturously slow.
What you fink, Star Trek? Folx?
¹ It confers an immense advantage, and if we assume an incremental growth it requires nothing from an organism beyond a slight increase in energy consumption.
² Unless you're smart enough to realize "the funny way your stubbiest digits bend" can be used to bang rocks together anyway.
³ You have a moral obligation to not eat meat. (⚈ ᴗ ⚈✿)

2023-07-11 at 9:43 AM UTC in Prison planet/humans are not native to earth theories
Originally posted by trippymindfuk I think it's an extremely interesting theory honestly, makes as much sense as any other theory about the origins of humans. Anyway what is y'all's take on this?
I fucks with these theories heavy, but just for funzies, as a creative writing exercise (minus the writing) 'cause... man... it really doesn't make much sense at all if you think about it. Like, two big obvious things that get stuck in my craw if I try to take this seriously:
1) It'd mean throwing out ~all of our understanding of human civilization and the evolution of our species. Man it sure is weird how we're like 98% genetically identical to chimpanzees if we don't share an ancestor.
2) Animals get sick too. Evolution doesn't strive for perfection - it's satisfied with 'good enough'. Turns out, being shit at digesting wheat gluten or whatever isn't such a big flaw that your lineage goes extinct. Whales get cancer too. A lot of it. Supposedly they're just really great at tanking the damage. Cancer is largely in an evolutionary blind spot - it tends to kill people long after they've reproduced and spread their "faulty" genes (objectively they really aren't faulty, they do exactly what they're supposed to until it stops mattering). It is weird that like... childhood leukemia is a thing, but I suppose it's rare enough that in the eyes of nature it really doesn't matter.
Now, you can fix these inconsistencies somewhat by saying that we are - rather than prisoners or exiles - refugees who arrived on an Ark carrying the native mammalian fauna from our home planet or something, but we'd have to have arrived millions of years prior to the K-T extinction (the oldest mammal fossils are 200 million years old). It'd be kinda fucked if a group of people from a spacefaring civilization and their descendants took 200 million years to figure out really complicated stuff like "fire" and "cultivating grain". And there is, sadly, no evidence for industrial civilization in our deep history (prior to the ice age).
Even if we ignore the existence of other animals who we share an evident genetic link to (we can handwave this as a really wild coincidence of convergent evolution or something), and only look at the point in time from which we believe modern humans first showed up on the scene... it's not great. Apparently we actually have a pretty good idea of when we first domesticated grain, what plant it descended from, and where this happened (~10000-12000 years ago, Triticum boeoticum, around 100 miles from Gobleki Tepe in Turkey). Humans we put at around 300,000 years ago. So we're still talking "people from a spacefaring civilization took 290,000 years to figure out farming".
You should play the Homeworld games if you haven't, anyway. They're old, but I think there's a remaster and like... the story is 🔥🔥🔥.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
