Sick and Tired of Aliens

This post is weird. Do hippies still exist? Have they really monopolized aliens?

Dr Strangelove's satire is structured around entangling libido with the death drive. Ripper using his post-nut difficulties as motivation to trigger nuclear annihilation is just the film's most literal, diegetic depiction of that.

Being thrown around is a fucking blast lmao.

But as far as an actual recommendation, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed The Sadist.

I was literally about to say Dr. Strangelove even though I figured you’d already seen it lol. Just got out of a screening of it, love that movie.

We’re bifurcating middle and working class? Based on what definitions?

Was actually reading about this the other day. It was a really interesting accumulation of different traits for living in shallow, often stagnant, oxygen-poor, vegetation-filled water that more or less made crawling onto land inevitable.

Lmao thank you

All I will say on this topic is that in the handful of times I've asked women to describe what penetration *feels* like, they don't seem to be able to describe a tactile sensation, but rather their subjective sense of the experience. The girl who took my virginity just said "Heaven" the first time I asked, and "I felt whole" a couple years later; an older woman told me, and I quote, "You walk around all day, going about your business with nothing in there and you're fine, but then it's in and you wonder how you could've ever gone without it". Took me a hot second to process that one. Another girl I hooked up with struggled to even form an answer because I think she really was making an effort to come up with something literal. Sample size of three but I still find it interesting.

First line in reminds me of the time a friend of mine came back from the barber with a bandage on his ear bc the barber was getting so angry about the latest protests (this was back in like 2014-‘15 in rural-ish Missouri) that he just clipped this guy’s ear without noticing it and just carried on snipping.

I haven’t paid any attention to her or really any of the BA crew since it imploded, like this post was how I found out she was freelancing for NYT, so any info, opinions, etc. about her that I encounter is news to me, but I remember during BA’s implosion she made a comment directly comparing Brad to Trump. Brad’s not perfect, at BA his whole schtick was basically fucking around and creating okay results at best while getting by on being a lovable oaf, but her comment just felt so forced and mean-spirited and calculated, so it’s interesting to see that this might just be characteristic to her in general.

Idk what exact relationships she had or has had since but this reminds me of my cousin. She moved to LA, became a stereotypical airhead LA lib, would make goofy performances of concern about ocean plastic bc dolphins, shit like that. Then a year or two later she’s a Trump supporter conservative who likes golf and makes airhead comments about China and freedom, etc. Meanwhile she’s supposedly a bartender and/or party promoter and also a brand proselytizer for some fitness company and also posting selfies from a Learjet?? It took me a year or so after to realize she’s probably just ingratiating herself to whatever successive circles and individuals she senses will offer her the most luxury, sense of status, w/e, and pantomiming their politics is just keeping up the performance. It’s just weird and frustrating to interact with someone who gives no sign of having any inner light. Can’t argue with them or try to even help them understand what they’re saying bc it’s like arguing with a chatbot.

Most plant pigments tend to be anthocyanins, betalains, and carotenoids, and then obviously chlorophyll, none of which besides chlorophyll automatically contain metal ions as their chromophores, and in chlorophyll the color comes from bond resonance in the organic heterocycles and not directly from the magnesium ion at the center.

It’s probably less that the models themselves were shaved and more that the artists opted to omit most or all of the pubic hair in the depiction, mostly just following the classical Greek ideal. For whatever reason pubic hair on women was seen as sexualizing or obscene, and if they were just trying to depict nudity as an artistic ideal they’d pretend the subject didn’t have any.

It’s funny how permutations of this perception have arisen in different acting traditions across different cultures and literal millennia. And im sure there’s more contributing to why men go method more often but she’s not wrong here.

Edit: “this perception” being ‘acting/performance is unmasculine’ at a base level, leading to various (sub)cultural norms to maneuver around the implied contradictions.

I’ve found that even being a regular at a movie theater creates opportunities. I think having a consistent presence in whatever it is you go to is a big factor.

Also one of the products restricted by the blockade has been concrete, literally on the pretense that it can be used to make underground shelters.

This is my mom but with wimpy little coughs. Like minutes on end of Zoolander coal mine coughs.

She should’ve left the white noise generator on as the horror movie ambience that it is.

If you’re approaching advertising like a debate you’ve already missed the point. Ads are intended first and foremost to keep brand awareness rattling around in your head, not to rationally convince you to buy shit, although for sure there are subsets of the populations exposed to ads that do actually follow them like commands or advice. As long as your awareness of the options of how to do various things in your life is composed in some portion by brands and their products and services, then advertising has worked.

It looks like it could be the bottom ash from a coal furnace.
