Interesting Aspects

Sometimes a science geek needs more to life than just cartoons, books, and biology. 30, she/her, ENTJ/ INTJ boastful, brilliant, and far from broken send me a message anytime.

i think the marvel vs dc conversation is bad because they're very different animals and i think its very obvious in how they approach the avengers and the justice league, even if you compare it between dceu and mcu, because at the end of the day superheroes in marvel seem to be allied with the governemtn regardless of their cause, like shield and avengers seem to be deeply connected in both fucntion and system because they're lead by a military guy and then the league in itself is funny because literally no one gets paid, they consider it volunteer work, that they operate outside of the planet so they would not be beholden to one state

[frownyalfred]

the Avengers: you don't understand, we HAVE to work with the government. to protect people.

the JL, in their satellite floating just outside of Earth's jurisdiction: lmao ok

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry

[hatersmad]

ohhhh my god

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

and while we’re at it, fuck this idea that ONE ACCOUNT has to belong uniquely to ONE PERSON. This is the same thing these silicon valley fucks want; their vision of the future where everyone has a unique biometric ID code implanted in their body is the ultimate extension of Netflix’s “no password sharing” policy. You want to use your friend’s car? Sorry, you can’t, you need to be an authorized user. Your mother wants to let you look something up on her OED account? Too bad! That’s only for her! The concept of perfect market efficiency gives them greedy little money bag eyes.

If I pay money to have a newspaper sent to my house, they don’t charge me extra when I show it to my dad. This password sharing thing isn’t just a Netflix problem; don’t be surprised if it shows up elsewhere in other forms. Stamp this idea out now or we’ll be stuck with it.

[jungwildeandfree]

This is by far the most popular post I have and I have to say: good, I’m right. Password sharing and ID verification are going to kill the internet. not oooh in 50 years. in like 5 more.

I think the aversion in our society to coming up w/ utilitarian answers to ethical questions (my favorite hobby) has caused us to cede way too much ground to the assholes of the world in the vein of "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb," as Dark Helmet put it. Like.

Laypeople (and also a concerning number of scientists) have often got the idea that unethical human experimentation is some sort of ultra-effective super science that would fix all the disease and discover all of the medicine and we only don't do it because it isn't nice (see: every science fiction show ever). No! Jumping straight from abstract theory to human trials is a terrible way to do science. It produces incoherent results and useless observations and nonsensical conclusions. We have pages and pages of historical precedent demonstrating this.

And lots of people have got the idea that totalitarianism is some sort of magic super-government that does all the government stuff really effectively abd efficiently and we only don't do it because it isn't nice. No!!!! "Let's put one idiot in charge and do whatever dumb shit they say" is the worst way to organize any project at all, let alone an economy and a political machine. Fascist regimes are models of corruption, waste, and inefficiency.

And so on

[cutestdoughboy]

The biggest trick fascists pulled these past 80 years has been convincing people that they were hyper competent perfectionists who ran everything efficiently. Rather than the truth which is they killed every one who was competent (trade unionists, socialists) and then killed every who reported that they were in fact incompetent. (Journalist and newsroom persecutions were very common)

I will absolutely tell you that ChatGPT is not better than Google - even in this day and age where Google sucks. And there are other search engines that will do you better than Google. I will absolutely tell you if you stop using your brain to think, your ability to think will grow weaker. I will tell you there is an environmental, and economic and human cost to using AI that we don't have any full scope of yet. I don't want to partake in any GENAI generated material.

[lierdumoa]

I will absolutely judge you for using an app that provides inaccurate, if not completely false information at least 40% of the time because you think spending 2 extra minutes looking for a reliable source is too much work.

I do absolutely consider that a moral failing. I don't know how to explain to you that the truth matters.

audio On 😂😂😂

For blind/visually impaired folks: The instruments being used to recreate these songs are two kazoos, a plastic shopping bag, a metal colander pot, a basting brush, an empty water jug, and a thin sheet of plastic, all being played by two people in an empty parking garage for the acoustics

For deaf/HoH folks: The songs being played here are near perfect renditions of the 20th Century Fox theme, the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and the Mission Impossible theme

[interestingmistakes]

I can't get over how he just grabs her head and shakes while she plays kazoo to make the opening trill to the mission impossible theme

i miss when subscriptions didnt really exist and you could just pay one time to buy an app or some software, and then just.. have it. without ads. without recurring costs. without more paywalls. it was just yours forever.

With Voltron getting a full series DVD set release and having a more complicated licensing situation than She-Ra, it is looking good for SPOP to get full series set release, and the pressure should be kept up on DreamWorks to do so more than ever. Sign the petition, send letters to them at 1000 Flower St Glendale CA 91201. Any social media post they have including She-Ra in it should also bring it up. Also, absolutely request they give it a new streaming home.

Have you seen this petition yet?

It is becoming increasingly apparent that colonialism never really ended, but like so many other previously government sponsored enterprises it moved to the private sector and rebranded
