Hard disagree about horror films and ‘scary movies’ needing to be ‘scary’. That’s an extremely subjective measure that just starts useless arguments.

Just like any other film, what it actually needs is good writing, good acting, and good cinematography, parts which are more concrete than whether something’s scary. The horror part is essentially just an aesthetic which a movie can sit within.

Also, quite often the view that ‘scary movies should be scary’ just leads to directors creating films that are hard to watch, period - full of vapid jumpscares, scenes made to just gross out the audience, and often just torture fetish content. It’s a terrible metric to aspire to that generally degrades the entire genre imo.

I do not know who tf either of these dudes are but they seem like very measured, calm individuals.

I asked the same question about a decade back. The answer I got was that it was attempted in the past, and any time it was done the project got a cease and desist. Based on that explanation, it’s much simpler for devs to build a workflow with no resemblence and a avoid legal trouble altogether.

This reads like someone who just isn’t willing to learn whatever new workflow the software requires. If that’s the issue, then that person will never leave their enshittified walled gardens. There is no workflow that matches or imitates the one you learned, it’s probably copyrighted, you’re best bet is to jump ship and learn a new paradigm.

Also, have yet to run into an alternative that’s actively recommended which doesn’t at least have a windows build. LibreOffice, Krita, Blender, Darktable, GIMP, Audacity, Inkscape, and Openshot - the most common recs as alternatives to apps, all have windows as an option.

The reply is stooping to the same level by personifying the octopi and applying human gender theory onto them, but it’s doing so specifically to show that this framing is misogynistic. It’s not as simple to clearly demonstrate this sexism if you stop personifying the octopi. Because there’s layers of misconstruance, it’s much simpler to address the layer you specifically have issue with rather than all layers at once.

It’s not really a simple issue to handle cleanly without becoming clunky with explanations. The same communication dilemma happens with STEM trying to address misinformation.

To summarize:

• capitalism always results in the accumulation of wealth in a minority of hands through monopolies and oligopolies.
• once wealth accumulation occurs that minority will always utilize their wealth to manipulate the systems which control all our lives into their favor.
• regulation can be used to redistribute wealth, but is always going to be dismantled eventually through propaganda, lobbying, and bribery. Once dismantled, we’re back at square one.
• therefore, capitalism is an irrideemable system which will always reach a failure state.

This is arguable, and honestly this exact bullet point can be made for virtually any political system, but it’s most likely what OP’s on about.

Thought you couldn’t get it up in zero G - and even If you could, we don’t actually know if the mechanisms needed to ejaculate would function in zero G.

Crocs are also good for wearing for 14 -18 hour shifts too, though, right?

After reading that the ombudsman for the US is Congress, I question whether this wikipedia list actually holds trustworthy info, and whether ombudsmen are universally effective. Congress do not strike me as effective resolvers of anything.

Did neovim get enshittened when i wasn’t looking?

100% this plane’s crashing.

I dunno, I don’t think women want this as much nowadays. Alot of women I know do seem to be into k-pop dudes, though. The slender, aerodynamic, and chic vibe seems pretty in.

Those humans are quite large.

Personally, I’d shoot the driver - and then myself!

Predator-prey model. Is still very normalized that men seek out and approach their partners, though it’s less agressive than previous generations. What you describe is pretty close to ‘The Male Gaze’, which is arguably a vestigial social behavior from when it was still normalized for guys to literally stalk potential partners.

The straights have not been Ok for a long while.

Yeah, but so is an island. It’s all human constructs. we see patterns and make up sounds for them.

Vyper from deadlock.
