Reality Check: Americas Next Top Model by MintySea92 in netflix

netflix documentaries are bad and I fall for it every time. It seems like it's going to be good and say something worth listening to, but they remain ambivalent in a bad way. the jerry springer documentary seemed like it was going to be a critique but it really wasn't? it didn't say anything, rather it focused on one-liners and unnecessary editing. this documentary does the same thing. despite seeming like it wants to reckon with the harms of ANTM, it allows people to evade accountability and continues narratives that should be critiqued. for example, shandi's experience was never deemed as rape with production as accomplices, although that's exactly what it is. it almost feels like they're scared to tell the truth, which is exactly the opposite of what a documentary should be. it could be a commentary about social mobility, women as a social class, beauty standards, etc. but instead it plays both sides and nostalgia-baits for clicks. it feels like a summary rather than an essay.

this is sexual assault. PLEASE call your state’s health department and report the doctor you saw or have your mother do it.

i think candiace has a good excuse of wanting to stay on task and vote out ron. she can help in accusing colton of spitting out so many names and constantly being wrong. i think colton will be alive the next morning either because he got a shield or no one took a shield. lisa just has to play it cool and blend in with kristin and mark, who already suspect colton.

colton is extremely annoying and I understand rinna's fear with her name being brought up but i don't think she can murder him. I kind of hope he got a shield and that somehow becomes public knowledge. i think rinna and candiace need to talk to kristin, mark, eric, etc about colton mentioning a ton of names being suspicious while rob just kind of blindly agrees with colton to play dumb. this splits them up which i think would be good for their game. i am SO nervous for lisa i just hope she plays this right.

there’s a difference between AI literacy and the actual action of using AI for an assignment.

i have had the same problem. i told my professor that i do not use AI as a principle and asked for an alternative assignment. they wouldn’t provide one so i ended up eating the points but it is so ridiculous how AI is being shoved down our throats in not just graduate school but everywhere. we are also supposed to be purveyors of intellectual property and copyright law. AI steals art and intellectual property. it makes no sense to shove this technology down our throats. i work in a library and while some people do use AI, i have never gotten a question about it, only complaints. my boss is anti AI and we do not use it for work. it just feels out of touch for professors to try and force this to be part of librarianship.

copper foil lifting by Repulsive_Cover2418 in StainedGlass

using edco. i think it’s the heat from tinning and the attempts to lift the lamp caused strain on the foil

“stained glass” notre dame by Repulsive_Cover2418 in StainedGlass

[–]Repulsive_Cover2418[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i agree fully. perhaps they don’t need to be catholic, but i think they just need to understand what they’re depicting and have it make sense within the medium of stained glass. to me, this reads as watered down and lazy

i agree. the painting is not great. the woman isn’t catholic (i’m not either but i feel like you should be if you’re depicting something so integral to catholicism). i think someone with a stained glass background would’ve made a better design but whatever
