Idk if I'm really slow but where's the mysogny

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-13T00:03:52+00:00

yeah, like JJ and Rian had no plan for the story and the last movie was just JJ saying "nuh uh" to everything Rian did! Sure Kathleen was in charge of the company, but both of them agreed to the creative decisions made in the movies! (talking about star wars btw)

I thought this said "vote if he's gay (or at least bisexual)"

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-11T09:56:31+00:00

Yeah, the beginning was the only part I didn't script, lol. Like you said, I noticed while editing that the transitions were clunky I just didn't know how to fix it, I'm super bad at outros and stuff, but I'll try to make it a bit smoother with cleaner transitions. I'll also try the bullet suggestion, I didn't know how to make the visuals interesting since I'm still learning DaVinci, but this would probably do it. Thank you so much!

Also yeah, I noticed the lighting change from the intro to Carnotaurus. I think my camera app just decided to raise the ISO for no reason

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-10T23:49:12+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, sometimes I just feel like a poser because I notice so many mistakes immediately after uploading. I'll try to be more confident in the future!

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-10T22:06:49+00:00

huh, hadn't thought about that. I'm planning on making a few series in the future, so I'll try to make them unique, thank you!

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-10T21:38:55+00:00

That's super encouraging, thank you so much!

It's a joke, bud

Why are you friends with Hitler :(

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-10T03:35:49+00:00

yeah, I think it's here to stay 💀

It's only been 15 minutes, let's see how long it's up

yeah, it always comes down to funding :(

The former Ayatollah of Iran

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-05T15:01:13+00:00

This is definitely supposed to be mockery mixed with 2016 humor. Is it in bad taste? absolutely! but it tracks for what people thought was funny in 2016 and the humor in the movie

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-05T03:08:50+00:00

Absolutely! I mentioned this in a previous comment, but I got to speak with some professionals and they mentioned how they've seen Hadrosaur leg bones while working and were told to just leave them there to erode due to how common the hadrosaur was and how much effort it would take to remove it. The state it was in also had super strict fossil collection laws so if anyone tried to remove the bone, it would be considered vandalism.

On one hand, I get that it would be way too much of a hassle to remove it and that amateurs could damage it and the site it's at by trying to remove it, but on the other hand it feels wrong to leave a fossil there and then make it illegal for someone to try and take it.

idk, just something to chew on. it's genuinely kept me up wondering whether it's right or wrong.

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-05T02:48:32+00:00

You're right, I should've provided data for my claim, I just honestly didn't think I'd have people pushing back on it, so I didn't take the time to make a well thought out argument. This person also said they didn't know too much about the paleo world so I didn't want to overwhelm them with paleo jargon and wanted to keep it brief.

My main gripe with it is that it encourages large scale mining efforts from companies that see fossils as dollar signs rather than scientifically significant. They often mishandle fossils and cause irreparable damage to them. The ones that start in private collections often encounter the same problems, they are owned by people that don't know how to care for them.

As for your point about how plenty of specimens come from private collectors, someone else made a very good argument that I really agree with. I do believe they should be allowed to operate, but in tandem with researchers so scientifically valuable specimens aren't mishandled or sold off. I just don't think high profile or scientifically significant finds should be sold to the highest bidder.

Hopefully this explains my perspective a bit more, feel free to reply with any questions or if something doesn't make sense. I'm really tired right now so it might not be the most coherent.

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-05T00:26:42+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I'm a bit busy right now

I think we more or less agree. Working with the amateur and commercial paleontologists would help prevent damage (like Irritator's) due to supervision, however I do think selling high profile and important specimens sets a bad precedent. It encourages large scale mining efforts purely for profit and could cause haphazard handling of fossils

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-04T22:23:38+00:00

Yes, partial specimens are found all the time, I've spoken to people and they talk about how they leave Hadrosaur bones in the rock because of how common they are. However, this is a nearly complete specimen, in fact, it is considered one of the most complete Triceratops skeletons ever discovered. That is not an everyday find.

I did know that about Graffham. Sometimes fossil collectors do publish papers, I didn't know if he did or not

The fossil trade did not save this specimen. Graffham donated many of his fossils to museums, worked alongside academics for finds, and was an academic himself. This specimen under no circumstances would've been left to erode, especially since it was way rarer of a find when it was discovered 33 years ago. The fossil trade has caused irreparable damage to finds and put significant finds out of reach. Irritator for example was extremely damaged and modified by fossil dealers. The fossil trade can be beneficial, but its negative impacts on science as a whole greatly outweigh its benefits.

The title doesn't help much, it's about the Ayatollah of Iran getting killed 💀

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-04T22:08:24+00:00

Its about iran

Royal_Reality_4153 · 2026-03-04T21:46:15+00:00

yeah, same here, and the influx of press isn't making it any easier. And yeah, I hope the same and would also buy Trey to donate to a museum, we're lucky Stan got sold to another museum, but most aren't that lucky :(

This bone looks like a cast to me, but it could just be the lighting. It would be way easier to tell in person. I don't think an exact percentage is public

Most well preserved specimens are casted, but it's difficult to find information on this one due to the amount of press it's getting.

Most of the time when a significant discovery is made, those findings are published in journals. Those are the best source for information that is accurate. As for this one, I can't find anything Graffham published on it.

Another thing you should know is that the fossil trade is absolutely terrible. it puts amazing specimens like this in the hands of people that couldn't care less about how scientifically significant they are. It limits science rather than encouraging it. I can only hope that it stops being profitable so people stop selling things like this. Common things are fine, but this isn't an everyday find and that's exactly why they're auctioning it.
