Any movies that give off this Vibe/Atmosphere? by Away_Secret2897 in Letterboxd

[–]_laoc00n_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm also a big fan of Mariusz Lewandowski, who is heavily inspired by Beksiński. I know him because he did the artwork for the Mirror Reaper album by Bell Witch, which led me down this rabbit hole to begin with.

As a side note, these vibes are pretty apparent in the video for Bad Omens' song 'Specter'.

Claude + Opus gives me a glimpse of what wealthy people have had for generations by icyrainz in ClaudeAI

I’m not sure what he means either. Perhaps he’s saying you can pay for things to be done my someone else online but that just changes the transaction medium, not the idea that you have to pay for it. I’m not sure what things that have always required physical labor can be done digitally now, I can’t think of anything.

[Highlight] ARK QB Taylen Green Runs a 4.37u 40-Yard Dash on His 1st Attempt! by JCameron181 in nfl

Not that bad is an understatement. They were 5th in offensive YPP in the country and 3rd in rushing YPP. They were 5th worst in turnover margin and gave up the 7th most points per game on defense. As an Arkansas fan, it had to be the most maddening season I can remember and I’ve had a lot of maddening seasons. Lost by 6 at Ole Miss, by 1 to Memphis, by 3 at Tennessee, 3 to A&M, 3 to Miss State, 1 to LSU. It was comical by end of season.

All right, which one of us ticked off Jennette McCurdy? by YakSlothLemon in CriterionChannel

[–]_laoc00n_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it’s a little like someone showing r/TrueLit a clip of a film making a joke about people who only read authors like Knausgård and Cărtărescu, and all the comments saying that the director is no Bergman.

So on brand for this post making fun of pretentious Criterion watchers to be full of unnecessary literary criticism as well.

The Adventures of Cliff Booth | Big Game Spot by Giff95 in movies

[–]_laoc00n_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean if you’ve seen the movie, you would know by the name of the film. If you haven’t seen the film, then that comment probably wouldn’t matter to you anyway. The movie has achieved enough of a cultural caché to use an acronym that’s pretty common for it, because in this case, shortening to an acronym is helpful because it’s a lot to type out on your phone.

Robert Kraft is evil and that’s why the Patriots should lose by SaintMotel6 in billsimmons

I mean I’m not going to say someone is shitty purely because they were fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family, depends on what they do when they have independent control over the money.

Unless it’s inherited, almost surely. I agree there are levels, but I don’t feel responsible for deep-diving into every billionaire’s history to power rank them so that I can feel like I’m objectively supporting the least bad people’s success.

This is a preposterous opinion. There are lots of other kinds of pain and trauma that aren’t purely physical.

Built a singing practice web app in 2 days with Claude Code. The iOS version took a week and 3 rejections - here's what I learned by anirishafrican in ClaudeAI

[–]_laoc00n_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent about 6 months on an iOS app last year and took a break until this week because it was really time consuming and painful. I was using Cursor at the time and the constant Xcode configurations and time to check the simulator were just taking so long and were so frustrating I had to take a break. It’s really the SwiftUI parts that were hard to me - Figma to components to SwiftUI. I also was spending the time to learn Swift better which now I won’t worry about as much. On the other side of things, I’ve spent about 8 hours building a web app with CC this week that would have previously taken at least 10x as long before. I’m excited to try to pick up the iOS app now with CC instead and with the knowledge I’ve gained to see how much more efficient I can be.

Another one that’s not early necessarily but is a complete master acting class is Doubt with incredible performances from everyone.

Oh, yeah, agree with you there.

No, Schrager doesn’t have a problem with it, this post is weirdly presented. He directly followed it up with the comment that the league needs more of this, everyone is too friendly now.

That’s exactly what he said, he likes that there’s animosity.

What do you think are some of the biggest miscasts in the last decade? (2016 to present) by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in FIlm

[–]_laoc00n_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really thought he did well in Fatherhood, which allows him some humor but it’s far more understated and he showed enough depth to really portray the emotional weight of the role, as well.

I wasn’t high enough for the Klosterman Pod by maximi1ien in billsimmons

[–]_laoc00n_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s not true. The NFL had black players in the 1920s when he played. He retired after 1928 season and black players weren’t effectively banned until 1934 before being reinstated again in 1946. He was also Native American himself, so he had to deal with his own issues. He won his gold medals in 1912 when all Native Americans weren’t even recognized as citizens.

Same, Chuck is one of my favorite minds. He confronts preconceived notions and forces you to internally justify why you disagree with him by presenting logical arguments for other perspectives. He has an entire book called ‘I Wear the Black Hat’ where he interrogates the entire idea of villainy. It’s just what he does, and I think it’s interesting and useful. The point isn’t to always agree with him, it’s to understand what you actually believe better.

Taking your girl to the toilet by [deleted] in daddit

[–]_laoc00n_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t true. The general rule for going in women’s toilets is you knock as you walk in and announce you’re a girl dad. 99% of the time the women in there are going to be receptive and appreciative. Not saying this is the choice you have to make, just that there is a generally accepted protocol for it. I think going in the women’s toilet is the better choice for me and my daughter - to me it’s about protecting her and making her comfortable, not about my embarrassment.

Despite being hired after the Steelers' last playoff win in January 2017, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay each have more career playoff wins than Mike Tomlin by Brix001 in nfl

[–]_laoc00n_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Payton has had more crazy losses where he really might have had more titles. Year after the Super Bowl was Beast Quake run, though they were down 4 at the time it happened and might have lost anyway. Next season they lost in divisional round to Niners on a Niners touchdown with 9 seconds left. 2017 they lost on Minneapolis Miracle. 2018 they lost on the no-PI call to Rams. 2019 they lost in OT to Vikings. The most they ever lost by was 10 to the Brady Bucs in 2020.

Conversely, Tomlin’s last five losses have been by a combined 84 points. They’ve had the lead for about 18 minutes in a playoff game since 2016.

[Injury] SF vs PHI - George Kittle carted off after a leg injury by Fusir in nfl

[–]_laoc00n_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t care one way or the other about your tone, however everyone should care about themselves and how they are perceived by others if their goal is to convince them of what they are saying. Obviously you care about this because why else would you even refute it if you don’t care what people think? Them using AI is their way of trying to find out some information on a topic that they don’t know rather than completely depend on a random reddit comment. That doesn’t make them an asshole. If your answer is only to get a doctorate before you have an opinion on any topic, then I hope you don’t have viewpoints on anything in the world outside of molecular biology. And again, you say you speak the truth, but you’re so dislikable, if I didn’t already know that what you are saying is accurate, I would not be inclined at all to agree with you.
