  • Yeah, that "EAT_ROADKILL" fellow is far too serious.

  • Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today.

  • The Weezer pork and beans video was actually fucking sweet

  • I think you're missing what this is. They're not adding sponsor segments.

    They're scanning the video, establishing where "free visual space" is, and then embedding advertising into that space. It becomes part of the video, not an intermission. You don't cut a "time segment" to remove it, you have to cut a "space segment" to remove it. And then what do you fill it with?

    There are certainly ways to mitigate it, but they're not great.

  • I think it's great to have at least one person thinking about these things.

    I can't deny that her urge to decorate does make the house look better. It makes me happy.

    I just don't think she can comprehend the absolute vacuum in my brain where "home anesthetics" should be.

  • I had a similar conversation with my wife about table cloth length.

    She just kept pushing it: "what do you think about a table cloth that's longer?" "What if it was shorter?" "What if it was longer one direction than another direction?"

    My love, I don't think about table cloths. No part of my brain is equipped to evaluate hypothetical cloths in a way that would be realistically beneficial to the conversation.

  • Something like mIRC? If I was to describe it would basically be Discord or [matrix], but I want it more casual - no need for acc, just click a link you are in a chat room

  • The guy was obviously being a troll.

    But, there certainly isn't a consensus on racism. Some vocal elements demand that for for something to be racist, there also has to be a racial power imbalance working in the favor of the person being racist... and they'll use that distinction to explain how actions that would be evaluated as racist by the definitions you provided actually aren't if the target is in a position of racial privilege.

    And, personally, I think that definition was literally seeded as a wedge by state actors for the explicit purpose of sowing discord, but here we are.

  • Jerry Goldsmith for the win

  • I actually did love at the beginning of season 1 where Picard is shitting on starfleet.

    As meh as S1 ended up being, and as poorly as pretty much everything was done in S2... what I was most afraid of was that they'd somehow molest Picards character itself.

    They didn't do that

  • Also loved S3.

    It had roughly the same structure as any Muppet movie (we gotta get the whole gang together for one last show!) Say what you will about the Muppets (and by that I mean: choose your words carefully) but God damn it's a formula that works.

    It's certainly the last time we'll see that crew together. Never in a million years could I comprehend they'd put them on the bridge of the Enterprise D.

    Did it have the philosophical explorations that I loved from the series? No. Did I need it to be? No. Where my boys at, how they been? Did thier bonds stand the test of time?

  • It's not just the writers job, it's the directors job.

    How should the ghoul react to a cazador?

    As a player of the games, I have a visceral reaction. Has the ghoul's backstreet included environments where he would have encountered them? Spoken to people who have?

    These are the kinds of questions I expect he'd need to be answered by the director, because i don't think the writers would have that much detail in the scripts. "Scared because one fucked you up once" and "scared because someone you thought was tough told you they got fucked up by one" are two different scareds.

    If you trust the director, it might be easier to let them tell you what your character knows when you the actor need to know.

    If you don't trust the director, then it might make sense to peek at the source materials. You better understand the environment, but now suddenly you know things your character might not, which I imagine adds additional burden on an actor. A common burden, mind you, but additional.

  • That's still just convention. In cartesian systems the only requirement is that x and y are orthogonal.

    When you add a third dimension, and additional concern arises being what direction of z is the positive one. You'll notice the two examples are not the same, if you flip either one so the x/y line up, there is still disagreement about which direction z is pointing.

  • It's not mine. Literally look back through this comment thread.

    The person you replied to said "steal" was a poor choice of words and you piped up to say it wasn't. That was the moment you entered into a semantic argument.
