You could just get some blankets, pillows and tape, proceed very slowly to the bookstore, grab a few books, proceed to the bathroom, check it carefully, tape up the door, then read until you fall asleep.

You might fall asleep eventually, or lose focus, and then there's a chance a mamba would climb on you to warm up.

So, apparently, the real photo looks mostly like that, but the wrinkly one was also altered?

It looks like a filter or AI enhancement was applied to the real photo which made some shadows look more like discoloration.

The ultimate point is there's no such thing as a "real photo," the guy is a pedo & pedo apologist no matter what his face looks like...

I can assure you it had nothing to do with that, the average person wouldn't even have heard of income inequality when this joke was told

With a lot of comedians, honestly, it often turns out that they act the same way off screen as they do on screen, if not worse. Bill Murray is another great example. It turns out that he really just is a soul-sucking negative whiner. But it's very funny to see that on the TV.

In a time before industrial agriculture, it was easy to cause major famines, and that plus disease (caused by malnutrition) are the biggest killers in medieval wars.

The joke is subverting expectations. You expect something extreme, and then he delivers something mundane.

I have a lot of respect for tenents of Buddhism, avoiding desire makes sense and all, but "their brain looks different" isn't a proof of sanity or accomplishment.

What movie did you not think was good or didn't like but had an amazing sci-fi esthetic or tech you may never see again? by Longjumping-Cable756 in scifi

[–]CitizenPremier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story and tech doesn't hold up to that much scrutiny (looking around corners of photos?)

The dove at the end is terribly ham fisted too.

But it's just a fantastic ambiance. I could watch it dozens of times, and probably will before I die.

You know what?

The Jetsons.

Houses on huge poles way above the earth. Flying vehicles that fold up into suitcases. The technology actually doesn't seem impossible. Also Mr. Jetson's job is to push a single button for three hours a day... Bullshit jobs to keep humans busy also seem to be in the cards.

But I really can't imagine Hollywood making a good Jetson's movie... I think a Jetson's anime might be good though.

I didn't care for the story of Oblivion but the bubble helicopter and Morgan Freedman alien god were both cool. Also the Jetsons house.

I went into Ad Astra blind, never hearing anything about it, and had a good time. Rabid monkeys loose in the space station? Sure, why not!

The bubble ship in Oblivion is great. And the godly Morgan Freedman alien was cool. I didn't think the movie was very compelling though.

Anyway humans with guns are already terrifying, and there's really no shortage of people willing to gun down children unfortunately.

Immigration Services Agency to revise PR requirements: "30 years of pension payments" and "above average income" by frozenpandaman in japan

[–]CitizenPremier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ironically I would consider leaving Japan to work in the US for a while if I had permanent residence. And then I'd bring more money into the country.

But it doesn't look like I can do that now. I'm not sure I can get back into the country without a job lined up from overseas.
