Starting to wonder if people talked about the lead up to WW1 like this. Like were people laying out the idea they shouldn't beat the enemy to hard like setting up WW2 was the plan all along or something?
Say what you will about the backstabbing of old school politics, but it turns out there's something to be said about politicians jealously guarding their power and getting stabby when some leader tries to take it instead of just giving it up without a fight.
It is not a skull and crossbones, it is a totenkopf. An SS symbol. It's not something you get accidentally, because only a very specific type of tattoo artist will be willing to draw it.
But even if it was, keeping it for 20 years says something
Why is it every clip I see of this guy he's going "I don't know" about shit he should damn well know, and yet there's never any follow-up asking him what he does know and why he doesn't know anything about his job?
Oh and you know who definitely has enough knowledge of art history to recognize the symbol? The tattoo artist who did it. You aren't getting that tattoo at a regular tattoo artist's.
Nah man, you gotta the elite of the elite to recognize one of the most well known SS symbols there is. Can't expect those working class rubes to understand.
Like either it tries to tell that story, which means reversing direction again which is not a great way to start things. Or it continues what TROS did which, no thanks.
So am I missing something or does this not actually tell us what the movie would be about? Aside from Driver having thought that Kylo Ren's story would have been inverted from Darth Vader's. Which I agree would have been better and seemed to be the direction the first two movies were going.
I do think your idea of seasons not being fixed is better. But you can only do that when people have been reminded that you can have an episode or two of just hanging out with the cast. Which the current set up has trained out of writers.
Kinda reminds me of that theory around the cartoon Recess that each of the main characters was a kid who died in a different time period. And while I don't like the "everyone is actually dead" theories I do like the idea of kids of different generations interacting like that.
Look folks, if there are protests with 7 million people showing up about how they're mad at the government and you can't make something with that. That's on you.
That XKCD comic about encryption where the fantasy is they'll never break through the encryption vs the reality where the thieves are just like "hit him with this wrench until he gives us the password."
I mean, I guess not? Or the citation requirement is sufficiently different that they're struggling for some reason. But I distinctly remember them talking about short essays, not longer ones. Which shouldn't take very long but they're talking about AI reducing it to a few hours.
Reminds me about the stories about how university students were using AI because it meant they could write short essays in a few hours, and all I could think was it really shouldn't take that long without AI.
But since they're new students they don't realize that and won't learn.
