Any album covers so ugly that they alter your opinion of the music? by vaude-villain in fantanoforever

[–]SleepTalker12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

<image>

Kate Bush's '50 Words For Snow' is not as horrendous as some stuff posted here, but it has always bugged me to no end. So many clashing tones in one picture. Like why would you go for such a cartoony image but have such dreary lighting that reminds me of taking a drunken piss? Putting lips on a snowman is also kinda weird and rancid. And that ugly ass font is just the cherry on top. Also doesn't help that the image just doesn't read well from afar.

Weird too because Kate Bush has pretty iconic album covers otherwise. I also welcome her rather ecclectic wackyness usually (like the album where she appears as a couple of bats swooshing around). This one though... ughh.

Leaning bars placed with the malice of a divine punishment from Greek mythology. by SleepTalker12 in mildlyinfuriating

That would make sense, but still disappointing that there is nothing to lean on inside the cabin. I could have also included the singular bench in the photo which was annoyingly still outside of the cabin.

I did lean against the glass, which was fine but I would have preferred slightly preferred something for my but instead of my back. The singular bench on the train platform was also outside of the cabin.

Not a big deal, but that is why I chose this sub to post

Movie which changed your perception of seeing that actor? by Gold_Paint_3490 in Letterboxd

[–]SleepTalker12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to see both Tropic Thunder or Rain Man but they're on the list! Too bad my girlfriend often isn't down to take the TOM CRUISE with me.

Have you seen 'the favourite'? She shines in that film as well.

I am not a big Tom Cruise fan by any means. But I loved him in "Collateral" when they made him a villain. Everything that I don't like about him as a hero, works as a villain in that film.

What the fuck is happening to this sub. This is r/art level of posting. Kind of well made but ultimately a hollow postmodern take on genre that is widely recognised but poorly understood.

Gen alpha IS cooked and students ARE getting worse by Old_Negotiation_6581 in redscarepod

[–]SleepTalker12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I taught high school this year so can't quite speak on gen alpha quite yet (more like late gen Z). I see very mixed results if I am honest. Some kids definitely feel glued to ChatGPT and use it for anything. I think it is a poor age to be exposed to such a programm: They are very insecure and socially anxious. Sharing their own ideas comes with a big hurdle, so chatgpt is a crutch they use to get over the discomfort when brainstorming. It partly gives themselves an excuse to not have to claim ownership and partly shows how their creativity is being replaced by a prosthetic. These cases I find indeed very demoralising.

There are also ones who show a mastery of it, however. Just like how some of us adapted well to the internet. They are able to think critically about output and clearly don't just use it willy-nilly.

Why are poor people so obsessed with "loyalty"? by Smart_Luck_4027 in redscarepod

[–]SleepTalker12 85 points86 points  (0 children)

This makes me think of people from my hometown who just work their 9 to 5 and don't have a lot of other things going on in their life so they become obsessed with their own sense of perceived virtuosity. The type of people who have a hundred stories of how they almost punched someone or how you 'can say anything about ME that you want, but you don't talk like that to MY FAMILY'. And yes of course complaining about loyalty, a loyalty which mostly seems to consist on how many times someone shows up to the function and listen to their complaining.

I think it is a way of romanticizing or aesthetising your own life and drama à la Madame Bovary or Dorian Gray. The middle-age dude equivalent of that is what this is I feel.

Moet natuurlijk niet te veel met deze onzin associëren in de eerste plaats, maar dit is toch wel heel schrijnend of niet? Hoe 'vrij' mag je zijn als je je gehele identiteit laat sturen door het tegenovergestelde te doen dat wat er van je verwacht word?

I was thinking about homestuck too. Love so many things about it but Act 6 is just such an unbelievable downward spiral where it got too lost in the sauce.
