guy almost ran me over with a boat once, propeller was like 3 inches from cutting my thigh open. climbed onto his boat and punched him so hard in the face that he needed surgery cause his braces mangled up his cheek so bad. proceeded to jump back into the water and swim to shore while flipping him off
my hand hurt for like a month lol. im tiny surprised i did any damage
I get it. My post the other day drew enough salt for someone to create an account in response.
As to your below-mentioned take, I fully agree. Showing violence, especially sexual violence, is treated as short hand for mature or titillation. But then those writers will say it served a purpose, that purpose being something for the aggressor.
The worst defense though was citing historical accuracy. Like no, buddy. Zombies, magic, and dragons don't exist in history, so let's be real. These forms of media are created by human people and choosing to depict or not depict something is pushing a narrative. You don't get to just put some shit on a screen and act like it doesn't affect people.
Please shitpost about the treats, I can't take it anymore in this fascist hellhole
Jesus Christ, yeah that's a good one. What show is that even?
I've been spending a lot of time deconstructing my surroundings and the media I consume in general, and given any amount of historical context, it's wild that this is just accepted.
Ah loyalty, the stupidest fucking thing people have. Loyalty to their damn treats, but fine with people wallowing in abject poverty the world over.
it's the sheen of modern cinematography that makes it perceived as less gauche
They had this in Star Trek: Picard.
Why yes, I'd love to see a character scream as someone pulls out their eye while they're wide awake. Really want to see that on Star Trek. That's what the whimsical sci-fi show was missing.
What's worse is that they already had a torture episode in TNG and it actually dealt with it in a mature manner, like actually showing torture as the useless intelligence extractor it is and just done for the pleasure of the torturer.
Now it's reduced to shock value nonsense.
I remember when Man of Steel came out and a lot of the criticism around that was the senseless destruction in the last part of the movie.
It was almost always met with the response "well, that's what would happen if two superheroes fought in real life" which I always thought was strange. Art is not real life. It never can be real. At its closest, it is an interpretation of reality through whatever mechanism you use. Hundreds of people all collaborated to show 9/11 times a thousand happen on-screen with the colour palette grimmer than Schindler's List.
You can say "sometimes people die violently in real life" and okay? But it was someone's artistic choice to portray that. It didn't just happen, the person making the art chose to portray torture, murder, rape etc.
If you're going to show something like that, then you have to accept the incredible weight that comes with those actions. If your character dies violently on-screen it better be for a better reason than "gotta give Seven of Nine something to do, like revenge or something idk".
Nolan was just a producer. Snyder was the director.
But he definitely had an influence, especially after his "realistic" Dark Knight trilogy.
it's how I have the site bookmarked and because of that it's on my fire fox homepage. So is hexbear.net.
Literally yes. I get more chores done when there's a deadline for something else looming.
Have you figured out the ADHD thing cuz I desperately need to :deeper-sadness:
one time my friend picked up a pill bottle off my desk, asked what "estradiol" was, I told him it was a stimulant, then he asked if he could snort one, I said yes, he did
had a person i know ask if they could take my hrt, they were a trans girl and they were like 'yo it might just make me decide it isnt a big deal so i can finally start it legit' i was like 'yeah makes sense go ahead be careful though it can make you a bit dizzy the first time you take it'. proceeds to take it with a shot of vodka they found, vomits everywhere, and passes out :what-the-hell:
Oh, I meant a desk in my home, which I guess is now also technically my work desk thanks to covid
I have, but idk what a coworker was doing there, and if that's a euphemism for a partner/roommate also working from home, that they wouldn't know what it was
I think you misread something homie, at no point was a coworker mentioned
I have nothing to confess, I am a model citizen, FBI reading this your time is better spent elsewhere.
Do you mean the last time I spoke to mom before she passed? It was right before she went into the hospital.
Sorry for your loss, comrade. I remember you posting about talking to her on here.
I've got [a] confession to make
