Absolutely insane to see content about men "looksmaxing" when the hottest commodity on the planet rn is a man who's like "my style inspiration is Princess Diana" and "I like my stretch marks" and "I love hugging my best friend."
Just completely separate realities.

I remain convinced that the primary reasons most films look like garbage now is because very few people know how to do traditional lighting and even if they did they won’t take the time ($) to do it that way with the right gear.
the DP was really active on some cinematography forum and did a few threads on how they captured the look and it was really interesting, everyone assumed it was film stock and grading but it’s basically just 90% lighting and being fluent in it

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class.
If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class.
Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

I don't have a car, but I've travelled to another COUNTRY to see a movie, more times than I can remember. Only last month I had to go all the way to the fucking Netherlands to see FRANKENSTEIN because fucking Netflix didn't release it in Belgian cinemas. Which is YOUR FAULT. Fuck you.

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Men created AI-generated images of this woman and used them to create an OnlyFans account so they can make money off abusing her. They can do this to any of us, and no one’s doing enough to stop them.
I feel like I’m screaming into the void.
