btw thanks to the herculean effort by a whole load of amazing star wars fans - anyone can watch Hope, Empire and Return as fantastic 4K scans of the original 35mm reels - which is as close to what the article is describing as you can get for now (tho they're working on a 70mm 6K scan as we speak..) - downloading it is unsurprisingly a pain but nothing a few minutes of web search can't solve

on the actual content - I'm not really sure what people are so upset about? I've only seen 4K77 but honestly I was quite amazed at how good it looked for one of the earliest sci-fi films (still think space odyssey takes the cake but that's a very high bar) - sure some of the effects were a bit comical (the death star explosion in particular) but after having seen the tweaked and overly polished releases so many times - it was really refreshing to see the film looking gritty and raw? don't know exactly how to describe it but it just felt more grounded and believable (also the ingenuity of practical effects (like the mirror hovercraft) and the painstaking effort of manually rotoscoping the lightsabers frame by frame 🥹))

anyways I'd totally recommend anyone see them (if you have the ~100GB of disk space per film to spare...)

the amount of butthurt g*mers losing their shit over nexus banning a mod that whitewashed the only black character in BG3 (created by someone with this username ) is just peak comedy

Idk this has similar energy to "If conservatives hate foreigners and progressives see through the bullshit PR - why shouldn't Shein just continue using child slaves?"

I appreciate you explaining your point - I guess I was just trying to say that smokers generally don't smoke just to spite/give others cancer - and that it's usually a coping strategy - and sure that's not always the case and there are rich and well off smokers as well

I guess I just wanted to note that most smokers don't choose to smoke but do it because they're addicted - not just to the nicotine but also to the feeling of control to immediately calm yourself down (I'm not saying its a healthy or sustainable coping mechanism but an understandable one)

It has everything to do with the fact that you're a sheltered software engineer cis man that hasn't had to have a principled stance in your entire life and would prefer to stay comfortable in your bubble propping up a system of oppression because you yourself are not negatively impacted by it - so you choose to slag off people who are actually trying to do something by being a keyboard warrior and arguing with people online - the true definition of a freedom fighter..

name a more iconic duo than an "anti-capitalist" and the capitalistic definition of the word work..

edit: oh shit sorry you're actually a pro-capitalist - that's a rare breed - oh well hope you enjoy "working" till you die for the glory of Elon 🥹

weird you ask for people to have empathy for poor and struggling people but then hate on smokers when those people are almost always smokers themselves - genuinely you'll be hard pressed to find a struggling person that doesn't smoke

maybe there's something more to knowingly poising oneself for the fleeting feeling of control and comfort that doesn't have anything to do with "people who choose hurting others for their own convenience"?

“I killed him laughing,” she said. “Oh, well. I’ll piss on his grave.”

“I did spit on him because he called me a f—-t,” Cruz’s confession reads. “I called him a dirty monkey. You said hurtful words, so I said hurtful words to you.”

As their dispute escalated, Cruz claimed that Hodges struck her three times before she pulled a knife and stabbed him in self-defense, according to court documents. “I told him, ‘You come to me and I’ll kill you,'” Cruz told investigators. “No motherf—-rs are going to put their hands on me no more.”

Hodges, who lived in the Bronx, reacted to the stabbing with astonishment, saying, “You really stabbed me?” to which Cruz replied, “Yes I did,” court documents state.

“I got in between them — twice,” said Janet Rich, who was in the deli buying coffee when the fight broke out. “There was another woman with dreadlocks [who] said, ‘Don’t do this. You have a good job. Let this go.’”

It's interesting to see how women generally react using reasoning and deescalation - which is commendable - but also knowing crime statistics against women maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if men feared that assaulting a woman could end up getting you stabbed.

Too bad she seem quite evil with the whole "killing him laughing" thing - but I'm sure this isn't going to get twisted into all trans women are dangerous criminals and should be locked up in men's prisons...

huh? food companies put addictive sugar/fat/salt combinations in everything now. our brains didn't evolve for this - like nobody thinks that a cup of granola + milk is like half your daily calorie intake - that's why people are obese - not because they can't "choose" to be healthy..

Is Varg a TIRF (trans inclusive radical fascist)??

“‘Female’ and ‘woman’ mean an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova,” the text of the bill continues, adding “‘Male’ and ‘man’ mean an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.”

I mean what are people apart from ova producing and fertilizing machines - I'm sure this will solve all your underpopulation fears...

“There are legitimate reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons and other correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms, and other areas where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated,” the bill reads.
