i know i said i did not want to talk about the nolan odyssey but i do have one more nodyssey post in me. i actually think the idea of odysseus understanding his story as existing both in and out of a historic timeframe is a fun way to handle the liminality caused by the story being part of an extensive oral tradition. however having him say "our age of bronze is collapsing" is perhaps not the way i would have done that

it is AI. and obviously fake. why would someone build two near-identical towers. with the one detail differing between them is one is being blown up? it does not make a lickof sense

Went to the grocery store with my kindergartener. We weighed some bananas: 2 pounds even. We weighed a watermelon: 4 pounds even. We weighed some mangos: a little over 1 pound. We weighed the watermelon AND the bananas: 6 pounds even.

“That’s funny” said the child “because 2+4=6 and two pounds and four pounds is six pounds. It’s like the same as math!”

“What happens if you add 6+1?”

“SEVEN”

“What if we put one pound of mangos on the scale?” <mangos added>

“IT’S THE SAME!!”

“OK, what’s 7-4?”

“Three?”

“What if we take the four pound watermelon off the scale?” <watermelon removed>

“Mama! Are you telling me math works In Real Life? Think of all the things you could measure!!”

Companies in the 2000s: You wouldn't download a car! Digital copies are still stealing, even if the original copy remains with us.

Companies in the 2020s: That digital copy, which you have paid for, doesn't really belong to you. We're removing it from your library now.

[existennialmemes]

Companies deleting media you've literally purchased is 1000x more realistically "stealing" than digital piracy, you cannot change my mind

Not enough people are understanding the funniest part of this. Everyone's making colour theory jokes but the dad is colour blind. The most common colour blindness is red green colour blindness. It's the one where red and green look relatively the same shade of brown.

Everyone's talking about the blood carpet. Dad is seeing a carpet absolutely blasted with shit.

[blazing-butterfly-inactive]

That ace moment when you see an xmen porno Cougar Squad gif and all you can think is "ooh those special effects are pretty cool, I wonder how they did that?"

Talking about medical gatekeeping in trans healthcare really feels like,

"Hey we should stop sending trans people to a fucking exorcist before they're allowed to transition? Since we know, scientifically, that demons are Not Fucking Real?"

"Ok but what if someone regrets transition though?"

"DEMONS ARE NOT FUCKING REAL."

"You really don't care about the possibility of regret?"

"DEMONS. ARE NOT. FUCKING. REAL. THE EXORCIST. HAS NOTHING TO DO. WITH REGRETTING ANY TRANSITION PROCEDURE. ON ACCOUNT OF EXORCISM BEING FAKE AND MADE UP."

"The trans community needs to talk more about transition regret. You have to acknowledge this, or you'll never get anywhere."

[noisyshitpawsts]

Sorry trans people are sent to WHO NOW??

[hiccupwarrior89]

tumblr users having no media literacy:

[astercontrol]

It is slightly confusing what the analogy is, and yeah it does take some media literacy to figure out

The first thing that comes to mind in place of "exorcist" that isn't literally an exorcist, is that trans people are sent to therapists or psychologists before being allowed medical transition.

a direct analogy here would have OP implying that it's scientifically proven that therapists and psychology are made-up and don't work.

But I think the intention is more like "it's proven that the things they are asked to do in this case don't help and aren't necessary."

[tpwrtrmnky]

Ok so you do realize that gender clinics often employ people whose entire jobs are "figure out if the patient is faking being trans," right?

Like those aren't practicing psychology, and they don't have any meaningful expertise on transition care, which is performed by endocrinologists and surgeons further down the line. The gatekeeper is just some guy who asks how you masturbate and makes a vibes-based judgment on whether the answer means you're faking it.

That's what the analogy is for. The fake made up pseudoscience job.
