This Falklands discourse has got me wistfully reminiscing about the white Latina girl from Dallas I knew in college who started wearing hoop earrings and affecting an NY Puerto Rican accent for clout.

It's been ages since I last saw it, but I remember being generally positive about Ang Lee's Hulk and it being such an odd adaptation that definitely doesn't feel like it was designed by committee has only grown its esteem in my mind.

That's correct except they want their slave wife to still appear able to suffer. If you dug into this they'd say so. They do want a robot capable of being desperate and capable of being afraid.

People got extremely pissy at me over at the other place a couple years back when I explicitly said most people in defense ventures land would fail a drug test on any day of the month, and well

I do think it's notable that even folks who have remained bullish around AI (Kelly is calling for massive investment in data centers, water, electricity etc to support it) have begun to float the possibility of a bubble burst. That kind of hedging is an important corrective.

Good evening, "Olivia Nuzzi" was an 11-year sociological study conducted by the University of Cambridge. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

the lizza "character" increasingly describes events he has no direct experience to or cognizance of, without much information as to how he ascertained them

its certainly possible nuzzi is so inept that she was easy to spy on but i'd like to point out the shift subtly over time in these posts from lizza as helpless first person to omniscient third person narrator

they're referring to research chems, the literal "soviet de-icing chemical" is a joke, but there are in fact a number of chemicals discovered in other countries including the USSR that get sold on gymbro/pharmabro forums and stuff and are underregulated

so anyway it turns out wypipo was apparently invented on twitter in 2012 as a name for Yakub, who was being imagined from first principles

it was merely very popular on 4chan but 4chan did not originate it

the point, which is something similar @eleanor.lockhart.contact makes elsewhere, is that living in such a situation doesn't allow you to make some sort of seamless distinction between dealing with the KKK or vampires. it's all horror, all the time, even if the monsters are technically separate

this is kind of like the dynamic of being a prostitute being targeted by jack the ripper. you're victimized one way, and it makes you more vulnerable to being victimized the other way

another thing too is just that critics have little idea how much the movie can be taken at face value. a lot of horror doesn't liberate people from IRL situations. you can have a really bad night where letting in white people or letting in vampires causes trouble

its a movie where two men fight two separate groups of monsters. one man joins monster group A, the other man dies in battle against group B

Heck, we reduced the median age people start having sex and reduced the median number of sexual partners and the conservatives are frothing about it.
