If only there were some sort of facility where teenagers could be taught new skills.
Anyway, here's a helpful diagram. When I was hit on the temple this was one of the harder things I had to reteach myself. Don't be shamed into not asking questions, and it's alright if it takes you a while to figure it out. Don't let someone make you feel bad for learning new things, or relearning old ones.
Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to teach yourself. YouTube is a valid option.
yeah okay ill reblog that :]
The core appeal of Willy Wonka is that he's a nigh-omnipotent maniac who uses his near limitless powers over reality to trick shitty people into killing themselves. You can't make him the protagonist of a whimsical coming of age tale - you have to treat him like Jason Voorhees, or Dracula, or any other horror icon. Give him some new victims and new interesting kills and set him loose, that's all audiences want.
I feel like I watched a somewhat different movie...
Gene lobbied hard for Wonka to be introduced as a feeble limping old man who suddenly falls into a forward somersault and leaps to his feet, because "from that moment on the audience won't know if he can be trusted." On a related note: the director told Gene what would happen during the boat scene, but none of the other actors were prepared; to this day, none of them are sure what he ad libbed and what was scripted.
My favorite detail, though, is his performance of Pure Imagination. On the surface, the song is charming and inviting, but if you look closely at him throughout the scene, you'll notice that Gene never blinks. He looks around, down at his feet, up at the trees; his eyes never fully close. He moves erratically, stuttering up and down the steps of the chocolate room. The lyrics are warm and friendly, but his face is blank. He bows to permit his visitors to run amok, but his posture is stiff. He helps Violet and Mike reach a couple of treats, but there is no joy in the gesture. The final post-chorus feels like a dirge, a threat, and a warning, all at once; Wonka sits in repose under a tree, but his eyes are glassy and dispassionate. "There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination; / living there / you'll be free / if you truly / wish / to be.......... "
Fantasy in excess, like anything else, will destroy you; that's the real message of Gene Wilder's Wonka. He taunts his guests with unrepentant disdain, and doesn't care if they live or die. He toys with their emotions, their safety, and their grip on reality, feeling no regret or remorse, no pity, no compassion. Fantasy is colorful and compelling, but it's false, and ultimately empty. Wonka is a walking maladaptive daydream, and as far as I'm concerned, that's the real reason the 1971 film has endured in the culture for so long.
wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
#they really said âyou canât use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI thatâs even less reliableâ#and you canât even opt out of it
no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)
you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results
there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around

Avelo Airlines cuts ties with ICE, ends deportation flights - al.com
The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025.
Avelo Airlines, the only commercial carrier believed to have been operating full deportation flights on a regular basis for the Trump administration, is ending its relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will no longer charter those deportations.
The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025 to operate ICE flights out of Arizona, drawing immediate protests and calls to boycott.
At the time, the airline acknowledged the decision may be controversial but said it was expected to support company expansion and job protection. However, after less than a year since inking the deal, Avelo has admitted that the program became too costly and complex to continue.
CEO Andrew Levy acknowledged the backlash in an email to employees late Tuesday.
âWe moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,â Levy wrote in the email, obtained by CNBC.
âThe program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs.â (aph)
KEEP PROTESTING AND KEEP MOBILIZING. IT WORKS. IT IS NOT HOPELESS AND IT WORKS.
Hey all, the past year I've been illustrating a Filipino historical/folk horror comic by writer Jay B. Kalagayan titled "St. Malo" about the first Filipinos in United States and the monsters that came with them!
The first issue is coming out Jan. 14, I hope you guys will check it out!

Itâs funny because if these âai artistsâ put the same effort into learning art as they do into defending that generated slop, theyâd actually be able to create many different anime girls with big titties without wasting half of a cityâs water supply in an hour just to last 30 seconds gooning to that shit
Coca colaâs ai Christmas commercial took 70 THOUSAND prompts to generate, and I cannot recall a single scene after watching it because it was just generic slop with nothing authentic or memorable. the worst part is that the amount of time it took for editors to stitch it together could have been used to employ people who could probably use the money before the holidays AND their creativity wouldnât be limited by what ai can recreate. not like they canât afford it with their trillions of dollars in revenue.
look Iâm not saying ai isnât fun, it can create some unintentionally funny content and some of the art it recreates is cool. I can see the appeal of using ChatGPT for fast information rather than searching the web for hours, I see the appeal in roleplaying with it when you have no friends or youâre embarrassed. Iâm saying that it goes against my morals. People getting put out of jobs, the water usage, mental health issues it causes, stolen artwork, the study thatâs coming out showing we are losing a part of our brain function because it no longer has to work as hard, all of this is why I choose not to use ai.

but the devil in disguise is so charming đ„
