@dr3amoperator A lot of it is def plain ol insensitivity and cys nonsense from cys women, but a part of me wants to say that a part of it is cys men see "being seen as a girl" as peak shame but cys women don't and see it as a quirky fact (not justifying outing bc cys ppl be cys)

@ThunderTheDevil They should have had the sound playing over and over as Conquest just laughs maniacally at it. Maybe add blood to his ears once he escapes. Two small changes to make Cecil look remotely competent.
English
Cecil littarly created a high-frequency earbud in Mark's head. Why didn't he do that here.
Would it be so hard to remove movements from Conquest Body by snapping a few nerve cords that they can repair from scratch.
Cecil was stupid for the sake of the plot
ً@Ironable
Such a cool idea to have Conquest escape at the end of the Invincible season 4 countdown

@ThiccKutBacon @lyndonbajohnson The single most intimidating fact about US military logistics is that we can set up a Burger King anywhere on the planet within 48 hours.

@lyndonbajohnson The quip about the ice cream is proof alone that the axis powers never stood a chance. It was over before it began.
English
4 years ago we changed how we teach WWII -- emphasizing what a bunch of fucking dipshits the Nazis were, defeated by normies who considered the details. The Nazis sent an army into the USSR without winter coats. The US shipped 80 million gallons of Ice Cream into the Pacific. -OS

@luciascarlet It's the same as saying a circle is the same as a properly shaded sphere. Same silhouette, entirely different objects.
English
yes, it doesn’t change the model, technically
but all it appears to really do is restrict its effect to a particular silhouette, but obviously a silhouette on its own is not the only thing you read
where the highlights and shadows fall is just as important to how you actually perceive 3D geometry as the silhouette is and they VERY CLEARLY do not imply the same features
THE RED DRAGON@TheRedDragon
They’re really trying to gaslight you into not believing your own eyes and telling you this is completely different geometry and a different person that looks worse Imagine being mad at this 😂 DLSS 5

@J_DAY_97 @faizkyokaz I guarantee that dude looks exactly like one of the execs, or looks like how an exec sees himself.
English
@faizkyokaz This just looks like a normal dude, but in a bad way.
Why do they make sci-fi universes but then try to make it look as normal as possible? It looks dreadful.

I remember doing character design work for a company and the client handed me the most generic pinterest scifi wear refs and told me to replicate it. So i tried to do something inspired and they just mad af and the art director told me “i know how u feel, just do what they say”

@initnam @LeeHepner If you like to think through your purchases you're now comparing 5 types of Dawn against each other instead of comparing Dawn vs a competitor.
English
@LeeHepner Can someone explain to me what the purpose of this advertising tactic is, because its clearly intentional
English
There’s no way to be an informed consumer when the market is reduced to a hallucinogenic scheme of deceptive advertising and randomly different prices. It’s the evisceration of fairness.

@dieworkwear When you start out, you only have enough knowledge to find a single good outfit; it seems like math, where if it's not the one 'correct' solution you got it wrong. Once you can find 2 or 3 outfits it starts to feel like an art, where fashion choices are statements or expressions.
English
something i've noticed is that people who are new to something — whether it's tailored clothing or catholicism — are often very rigid and dogmatic in their thinking. much more zealous than people who have been into it for a while. not sure what causes this.

@scumbagdotdll @Rage_Indicible @TerribleJyon @CTachio83984 We're like 50 years from it. 30 years ago the best humanoid robot moved like a drunk old man. Modern robots can do basic gymnastics.
English
@Rage_Indicible @Sol1496 @TerribleJyon @CTachio83984 i do all of those things for a living.
you legitimately lack the knowledge for me to help you understand this but i can promise you we are centuries away from non specialized robots that can build decks and lay bricks.
English
at some point people are gonna have to admit that if they want robots to be good at this stuff they need to stop making them look like humans. Why does this thing have two arms and hands instead of like 15 limbs that shovels all attach to
Interesting@interestingaf
Reflex Robotics is testing a robot designed to handle real-world manual labor, such as snow shoveling ☃️@NYCMayor

@Rebel0fReality Let’s be real, though. Christopher Reeve’s Superman was bad too. People only like it because of nostalgia, but it’s just pure 70s lameness
English
Arguably some of the best most influential superhero adaptations of all time, and I wouldn’t call any of them particularly comic book accurate. Understand the soul function and appeal of the character and their world, and just tell a story from there.
Superheroes are modern mythology. They’re definitive, but malleable and have been played around with and reinterpreted by various storytellers longer than most of us have been alive. That doesn’t have to be restricted to solely comic book writers.
clark@m4noftomorrow
I think a good comic book adaptations should be faithful to those characters and their core principles. It doesn't necessarily need to be "comic accurate"
English
@Rebel0fReality I would love to see a hundred different versions of Wonder Woman written and drawn by young women. I want to see Green Lanterns from every sector imaginative scifi nerds can dream up. But, if you don't get hired by DC, you can't publish any stories about them. 2/2
English
@Rebel0fReality Now I realize the damage that copyright has done to culture. It's impossible for nobodies to tell stories about the big mythological figures, so the stories more often stagnate and die.

English
@scumbagdotdll @TerribleJyon @CTachio83984 The robot is designed for manual labor. Can a snow blower lay bricks? Or paint a wall? Or build a porch? All those tasks are the end goal for one robot. That's also why it has hands. Like a human, it will be able to grab any tool at the hardware store and perform the needed work.

@davidmanheim @PabloPeniche @wolftivy Good point, but that .08% doesn't take into account the massive bubbles leading into economic collapses every 20 years.
English
@PabloPeniche @wolftivy OK, but you actually can't have infinite economic growth in a universe with physical laws.

@eenuttings @RopeCalls I agree, one of the smartest people I've ever met was homeschooled. By two loving parents... Who were both teachers at good schools.
English
@RopeCalls i'm talking about the midwits. i'm sure plenty of people can homeschool their kids fine or maybe better but the average person can't
English
the kids going "now that is science" at the end and the parents agreeing is a really perfect encapsulation of how home schoolers conceptualize things

@junwatu @GenAI_is_real Memory is no longer cheap. Hopefully they start optimizing more.
English
@GenAI_is_real this side of the POV is rarely seen, but yes, I agree. software should be optimized by default, but the dogma that “memory is cheap” is the problem.
English
unpopular take: 8GB is not the problem, software bloat is. i used an 8GB mac for years and it was fine because the programs were lean. now a browser tab takes 500MB and an electron app eats 1GB just to show you a text editor. we kept throwing more RAM at the problem instead of writing efficient software. if the industry spent half the energy on optimization that it spends on adding features, 8GB would be plenty in 2026. the real question isnt why apple ships 8GB, its why we need 32GB to run a chat app @steipete

The new MacBook Neo has 8GB unified memory? Rough.

@lukeisamazing @NotPotBol @turnerwingo It's kinda what happened in Venezuela. They kidnapped their leader and got everything they wanted. Venezuela just doesn't have the same military might as Iran.
English
@NotPotBol @turnerwingo that’s the only thing I can imagine. they got hooked on the idea that decapitating the leadership would cause the entire country to fall apart and allow a frictionless transfer of power with no boots on the ground, a series of events that has never happened once in known history
English
Jesus Christ this really is quickly spiraling, did they not expect Iran would attack back?

🚨 Here at this UPS store in California over 30 people are registered to vote. It is illegal to list a PO Box as your domicile address (which appears on the voter roll). You can receive a ballot at a PO Box, but it cannot be the domicile address—which over 30 of them are, errors and suspected fraudulent activity is everywhere in California voter rolls. Even with obvious evidence California seems to not care about their voter rolls meanwhile you do not even need an ID to vote… how much fraud do you suspect in California?

@ochimusha108 I think Arlong is supposed to be a foil for the redeemable characters. As we learned why Arlong was the way he was, we also heard about all these other people who went through the same circumstances and didn't turn to hatred.
English
Arlong is one of the great enigmas of 'stock characters'. Enel is easy, that mfer could drop outta the sky tomorrow and be relevant. Kuro was such that being chased for the rest of his days is the best punishment. But Arlong is interesting.

If only Arlong could see that a human punched a Celestial Dragon for a mermaid and a fishman. 😭
