#something that sucks for me is that I really lack the vocabulary to describe why the in theater experience of watching the Elvis movie is#so different and also vastly better than watching it out of theaters#like I try to explain and all I can say is ‘the sound is so good in the theater’#‘like the sound is so immersive and so good and you don’t get that at home’#‘like it’s so loud and good’#it’s a little more specific in that specific moments get lost because the streamable versions don’t have the same sound mixing#so these really big moments in the movie are just lost if you don’t know to look for them#but more than that the score is lost#the score really does make a difference and you don’t hear it as well at home#and the almost real shock/jolt you get when the camera jolts and starts the trouble scene is lost too#I guess what I’m looking for is a better way to describe how good the score is and how pleasurable the in theater experience is made because#of it#I just don’t know enough words about sound I guess#also if you don’t like the Elvis movie that’s fine we’re good#but I think it’s a full body experience that anyone could enjoy if given the opportunity to watch it in theaters with an open mind#and it’s a bummer that it’s not going to be in theaters anymore because that’s the only way to watch it really#anywho

what karma level do you think iterators are at ?
levels 1 – 5
levels 6 – 9 but not 10
level 10 ( max karma )
it's different for each iterator
iterators don't have karma
nuance / other
#rain world#i actually never thought about this before#my guess would be either max karma or they're completely exempt from the karma system somehow#but still able to grant it to others of course#i do think the view of how karma works in rain world is partly a societal construct only remaining upheld by the iterators#and its actual workings are much more mysterious than what is known about it on the surface level#maybe it's better to view it less like a resource that can be gained and lost and more like a? flow? or a connection of sorts#but because of game mechanics ™ they get implemented like a level/score type thing#my reasoning behind no karma level for iterators is that they are severed from that connection by nature of their inability to participate#in the cycle#SOS being the only one who was able to achieve connection with the cycle by dying#iterators#karmapoll

me, having slept ~5/6 hours a night for the last 10 days, working 16 hour days to try to finish this fuckass dissertation: brain no thinik good i can't do this i'm so tired also me: a statistical analysis of pierre-luc dubois x ovechkin's uptick in goals after finding a new stick he liked last season = ovechkin is going to score 50 goals this year and break the all time record (and PLD will hit 60/70 points as his centerman). in this essay i will also also me: ovechkin should sign a 1/2 year extension so he can hit 1000 goals, and piss off all the pittsburgh fans and xenophobic canadians haters who say he's an empty net/PP merchant
#imagine if ovi hit 1000 goals#bro#i'd build the statue in DC of him MYSELF#also the narrative that ovechkin scores all his goals from one spot on the power play is so funny to me#like...what about the other FIVE HUNDRED + GOALS????#also have you been watching his career at all?!?#old man ovi? for sure much more stationary. his legs aren't the same#YOUNG ovi!??!!? who was bulldozing his way through entire defensive formations solo through sheer strength and skill??#bull in a china shop ovi???#you've lost your fucking mind lmao#he's the greatest goal scorer of all time#he's elite at literally every kind of goal scoring#he's done it all and he's done all of it A LOT#except WRAP AROUNDS his achilles heel lmao#my man will never score a wrap around goal rip#he's sneaky good at deflections which you'd only know if you actually watch him play#i mean he's not joe pavelski but he is elite at it#his shot is just so powerful that it's better be in position to shoot than position to deflect#ANYWAY#im gonna work maybe#after my coffee#ovi#oh captain my captain#go caps go#fun fact ovi actually has more shorthanded goals than sidney fucking crosby

its important to watch a new movie or read a new book sometimes. largely because 1) its nice to experience all the art this world has to offer but also 2) you might be able to find new scenarios to imagine your OCs in
#it gets the cogs turning if ur imaginary scenarios get stale#wait did anyone else do this. when i was a kid i played with my toys in the very storytelling heavy style#like every toy was a character type thing. ten million large spanning melodramatic stories of epic proportions with my littlest pet shops#like that was the type of play i liked. and i would#sit in front of the TV with whatever playing half watching cartoons#or watching some kids movie on vhs borrowed from the library back when they still had tapes#and the whole time i would be playing with my toys. seeming more engrossed in the story among my toys than the movie i was watching#but i WAS watching the movie i was just using it largely as a. jumping off point. to make up stories about like#my lps cat who can see ghosts and her search for her long lost twin sister or something#Oh god and when i was a little older like 10 years old making ms paint animations age#whenever i was watching a movie with like famiy or in class or whatever and maybe it was a little boring at parts#i would like. start focusing on the score only and just imagine my own sparklewolf OCs to it instead of paying attention#my dad often fondly remembers watching avatar in theatres with the whole family and looking over to me and seeing me mentally GONE hfkjdfhs#mother and older brother were pretty engrossed with the effects and visuals and i was like. eyes glazed over staring into space#imagining blue wolves with anime hair like :) my dad thought it was very funny. he cant judge the reason he was looking around was because#often hes more interested in watching other people react to a movie than the movie itself LOL we are cut from similar cloths..#i still dont remember a thing about that movie. but the score wasnt bad HJKDBJFKLSHJFDs#but yeah i dunno. watch a horror movie. think about putting your ocs through the horrors. thats how ive lived my entire life

#kori i understand your thought process#it's the same as emptying the net#but if you don't fix it#and by that i mean play the whole team and win the next 3#you're going to lose coach of the year to CK#and i do hope you are seeing all the twitter comments and by that i mean the handful of reporters who are talking about this choice#at the end of the day the first goal last night was an unlucky bounce#[note i still take issue with certain people dumping the puck for no reason]#but it's happened to ambrose and murphy before too i think#the thought process is that if we can only score one goal per game#we better not allow more than one#but honestly i think it's difficult to break a tie in regulation if you aren't being strategic#and i think montreal has a real problem of not taking strategic shots#especially when they are down or not scoring they shoot from distance#which is not the right move#it's something you do when you are desperate#what you need to do is put shots on net collect rebounds and force the goalie to be in 2 places at once#see the poulin daoust goal from the 3-1 boston game#also practice even strength goals PLEASE#i will say one last tangentially related thing: i think the jaques tapanni trade is what helped boston and hurt min#and by that i don't mean that jaques isn't doing well but it's clear that min needed the offensive depth and face-off#expertise that tapanni brought#and i know heise's injury kind of coincided with that as well#but to me it's clear that shifted the momentum#quite frankly it's not a surprise that this is coming up#because the same thing happened with the shootouts#do you know why we lost every single shootout#it's bc kori kept it so top heavy#and i have to wonder if the [starters] are just taking this on the chin or#like as leadership you have a responsibility to the members of your team not just the standing of your team you know

fencing to 15 points instead of 5 makes it so much clearer. cause like against the strongest guy i got 2 points both times (i’m glad it wasn’t 0 like most of our fights), and the one that’s quite similar to me i won by 8 points so really puts things into perspective
#one time i won against this guy when we were doing second round to three#we were supposed to get additional points as a girl and as a weaker opponent but when i scored im like no my guy put the mask on we’re#doing this for real. and i managed to win. still so impressed until now#but i lost to my friend today by four points#we’re both the only left handers#and other strong guy i got 8 against 15 which i was kinda glad about cause my goal was more than half#fencing

Basically whenever you see something that gives evidence which makes you think "yeah, exactly! I always knew it!" you should look more into it.
This is re: the calorie post I just reblogged, but is also about that post from a year or two ago where people were like:
"LOOK THIS STUDY BLATANTLY SAYS NO DIETING EVER WORKS, YOU CANT LOSE WEIGHT FROM CHANGES IN FOOD INTAKE"
and the conclusion of the study was like "after studying these 8 fad diets we concludesd that the rate of weight loss evens out after 18 months"
so people were literally just straight up lying, and everyone reblogging it thought "this person says this study proves what I already think is true (that dieting can't work), so it must be true"
#like. a) dieting =/= fad diets.#b) yeah actually. dieting does work. for many people. like there are quite many people who lost weight due to diet and exercise.#c) the fact that dieting works doesnt mean that fatphobia is okay or something. both things can be true.#and like... links between things are very often WAY more complicated than it seems. theres always like 5 more factors#like to someone racist if they hear “this study shows schools in black-dominated areas achieve lower test scores and have fewer students#that receive academic scholarships“ theyre gonna be like ”YEAH SEE? BLACK PPL ARE STUPID“#when really a) test scores dont measure intelligence b) black dominated areas tend to be low income areas which have i) overworked teachers#ii) kids have life issues that impact their schoolwork. eg lack of food and housing security or violence.#iii) lack of things like free tutoring after school programs#iiii) lack of resources for students with disabilities (which are common in low income areas for MORE reasons)#c) scholarship committees that arent specifically devoted to affirmative action are often super racist#like... its not just racists or whoever that make these connections due to bias and lack of critical thinking. everyone does it.#including me and you.

Ten years ago today I decided to watch abc’s LOST. I did this because I had/have a crush on Dominic Monaghan, and when one is yearning for content for an actor, three seasons as a main character is a jackpot. I honestly didn’t expect this show to be good, because I’d barely heard of LOST. But I wanted to at least try it out. I remember cautiously saying to my mum: “We’ll watch an episode and if we don’t like it, I’ll put on something else.”
Five minutes later we were hooked
A month and a half later, we had watched all six seasons
When the finale ended, my mum hugged me and thanked me
So yeah, LOST is pretty good. Comedic understatement aside, I personally think LOST is a masterpiece of television. (Though flawed enough for me and my friends to still be jabbing at it to this day. With love. Nothing is perfect)
In the decade since I first watched this show, not only has it given me hours of joy and tears, it’s also given me at least a dozen more celeb crushes (came in with one, left with 20 more...), for real I’m so glad I know who a bunch of these actors are. Michael Emerson and Jeremy Davies deserve honourable mentions but also [gestures at most of the cast]. Incredibly talented people
This show has inspired me to create a truly staggering amount of hilarious content, for which I refused to let the Text Post Meme die. Seeing people enjoy my memes, my art pieces, my videos, my headcanons/theories... all of this gives me a great deal of joy, so I thank you all, I love seeing y’all in the tags
And finally, this show has led me to making a lot of friends and well wishers. I’ve found a place in this cozy little corner of the LOST fandom and I love it
There aren’t enough words for how much this show means to me, which is a helluva thing for me to say about something that isn’t Star Trek
I’m so grateful that on the afternoon of April 11th 2013, I decided to pick up LOST season one from our local blockbuster. It’s been a good ten years
Thank you for your time
#me#lost#as i was writing this my head got overfilled with stuff to say#because i adore lost#but i did wanna keep this relatively short#but yeah i got a lotta good memories#how i love thee? shall i count the ways...#the writing. the acting. the diversity. seeing ND people being loved. the beautiful people. the score#inspiring major changes in the landscape of modern television#also i was 18 when i first watched lost and i'm 28 now. and the difference that means mentally and emotionally is Quite A Lot#so tho lost came to me more recent than star trek or doctor who it still feels formative to me#so yeah i highly recc it. and without hesitation

i went to this place today with a bunch of arcade and pinball machines and had a super fun time and now i'm thinking about arcade date fluff with copia....
#i lost track of time but we fully spent like 5 and half hours there lol and only left because i needed to eat#it was really fun!!#there was a phantom of the opera pinball machine and i played it a ton#i suck at pinball but it was phantom!! i couldn't help myself#it was based on the book and i kept nerding out on all the little details that i really liked#also played darkstalkers for probably over an hour#and i had to stop because i felt like i was getting carpal tunnel and i was getting way too frustrated because it was really hard#but i grew up playing a lot of arcade games so i had a lot of fun!!#we already know copia is a Gamer so i think going to an arcade with him would be really funnn#gonna cheer him on while he tries to get the high score on a game<33#and being totally in sync playing co-op games and still trying to one-up each other even when we're on the same team hehe#we play a fighting game and he's annoyed that i'm using the same strat i've used since i was a kid#which is just randomly mashing buttons and wiggling the joystick aimlessly until i accidentally figure out a combo and then spamming it#and more than that he's frustrated that it's working and i keep winning#i could go on but yeah arcade dates my beloved <33#what do you have to say doll?

Messi about to win another award today and I already know people are going to have the shittiest takes
Let this prepare you for when he gets bdo #8🤭🤧
#please don’t make my head spin about Mbappe or whatever#I saw people saying that because Mbappe scored more goals than Messi in the final and ‘single handly carried his country on his back’ that -#he should win and I’m like LMAOOOOO#Messi did that for Argentina for like a decade that ain’t nothing special#and please actually look in the mirror and be serious#you want someone who LOST a final to win over someone who scored a brace and WON the final#people are lunatics on purpose I swear#people spent Messi’s entire career saying that he’d be a flop if he didn’t win the World Cup#and not only did he win it but he broke every misconception about him in the process#and now they’re saying it was scripted😭

One of my firmest beliefs is that "safe spaces for men" will not solve the issue of male radicalization and patriarchy. If you want men to stop becoming terrorists you need to target the true source of misogyny: male socialization. Once a young boy is taught by his parents that women are inferior to him he is doomed to bigotry, because he lives in a world that will constantly reinforce this idea and reward him for agreeing. As for adult men who are already misogynists, the only way to convert them to feminism is to stop coddling them (and yes, I see all of the "safe spaces for men"/"male mental health" discourse as coddling). Coddling abusers only enables them (and yes, bigots are inherently abusers)! You can not convince an abuser to change by coddling/gentle guidance as this will only embolden them. We can only make men change by holding them accountable for their behavior as a class, period. I think that the best way to do this on a mass scale would be via reeducation camps, but we all know that westerners would see that as unethical somehow. So, our next best bet would be forcing our governments to create feminist programs that aim to do the following: stop domestic violence, "reform" abusers and rapists with court mandated abuser counseling, and educate young people on gender studies, safe sex, and relationship practices. China has a program called "the Ministry of Health and Family" which was created to stop misogynistic violence, and once it was instated their domestic violence rates plummeted. China did not create safe spaces for men to reduce terrorism- they held them accountable and it worked. We should follow in their footsteps. EDIT: I added screenshots and whatnot. nothing to see here, really Im just kinda seething.
I took screenshots of these comments that i made under the original post because I just knew that OP would block me after I wrote this- not because its any harsher than the other replies (in fact mine was pretty tame compared to some of the responses) but because I am spitting straight facts and OP is a misogynist. I just wanted to repost them here for my own safe keeping and sanity ig. I didnt care for the idea of discussing this with OP directly since I knew they wouldnt be interested in a feminist POV, but I was hoping that my comments would be seen by the audience. It bothers me when people make these huge discourse posts and then block certain commenters solely because they dont want their friends to see the opposing responses. It especially bothers me in this case because as we speak OP is fiercely & performatively "debating" with TERFs who obviously wont change their minds- yet they blocked me immediately (though I wasnt interested in directly speaking with them) because they knew my comments made them look bad, and Im willing to bet that they told themselves they "felt unsafe" or something to justify it.
Like, just say you hate women and go... :EDIT over
There should be actual self-help spaces for men (and especially young men) that aren’t just alt-right recruitment centers.
As a person who was a dude the places I wanted to go to with kind people (usually queer people) had at least a few people saying that “men are trash” or “men are inherent dangers” with no pushback and it scared me.
I’m decently emotionally mature and realized that just because some outliers were assholes didn’t mean the whole place was terrible but what about younger or less emotionally mature boys? They see “oh men are trash” and see no pushback then think “Oh. These people do not like me for something I cannot change. These other people (Jordan Peterson fans) like me for who I am (they don’t but they say they do). I will go to the place I feel safer and happier.”
Without a kind safe space for boys then they will go to these toxic places. I used to read a good amount of posts on r/Teachers and a lot of them are saying the boys don’t respect them, love people like Andrew Tate, so on and so forth. This is what happens when the only “safe spaces” for boys aren’t actually safe.
#Trigger Warning for mentions of SA and bigotry in the tags#Creating safe spaces for men and censoring women will not break this cycle-- if it could#then the cycle would have already been broken tenfold.#feminists have tried to create safe spaces for men and they have spit in our direction for the last two decades#bc they literally DO NOT want a safe space if it means that they need to better themselves!!!#anecdotal example here:#I “lost” a male friend to inceldom a little while back and when I saw the signs I took significant steps to try to help him#he was struggling with depression (as was i) and we talked about his feelings at length.#i suggested he see a therapist many years ago- when we were in high school. then again when he was in college. then again when he graduated#he never went nor even looked into one. not once.#he was struggling with finding a girlfriend as well#so i also gave him pointers on how to get better with women and how to score dates and appear more attractive. he took NONE of my advice.#i had trouble finding girlfriends as well. and when i told him “its challenging for everyone” he didnt even acknowledge it#because he subconsciously felt that as a man he was owed a girlfriend- making his failure to find one “extra bad” compared to mine.#and every step of the way he kept claiming that i had "no idea what he has going through” because i was female#even though it is statistically way easier for a straight man (him) to find a girlfriend than it is for a lesbian (me) to find one.#and before i knew it he was telling me about the pickup artist books he was reading. and when i told him to stop he refused to listen.#and on and on and on. until finally one night he told me over the phone that his biggest fear was being falsely accused of rape#as a response to me telling him about my trauma with being raped by multiple men...#i realized in that moment that he was a full-blown fascist. i hung up on him and no longer speak to him.#looking back i realize that my attempts to help him failed because i could not undo his misogynistic upbringing.#i could not undo his idea that he was “owed” female companionship- nor the idea that his feelings were more important than those of others#so creating a safe space for him as his friend not only failed to help him but it backfired and traumatized me.#& hes NOT an outlier! similar things have happened to several men that I grew up with. all of which i tried to help and be a good friend to#bc misogynistic men do not want safe spaces or therapy or any of that. they just want to own women & hurt gender minorities with no pushbac#& they will never feel welcome in any space that does not allow them to do this. no matter how PC you are.#anyways#feminism#feminist#womanism
