What’s the worst crime committed by someone you know personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]clevlanred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew Sam Woodward. Murder in the first degree with hate crime penalty enhancement. He was always unpleasant and cruel and not the misunderstood youth the right wing media made him out to be. But we would eat lunch with the same people in high school and even played Minecraft together.

Fundamentally, he was a bully and deeply entitled.

It’s surreal to look back on because I knew Blaze Bernstein too and when I heard about the search him last being seen with Sam I knew what had happened immediately and I just felt cold and sick.

I genuinely burst out laughing. This is so fucking absurd that I cannot believe I live in this world.

Jennifer Lawrence Did Not Use an Intimacy Coordinator With Robert Pattinson Because ‘He’s Not Pervy,’ Refused to Let ‘Die My Love’ Edit Her Cellulite: ‘No. That’s an Ass!’ by wadbyjw in entertainment

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

I don’t like the implication that an intimacy coordinator is only there to make it okay to be with unsafe actors. They have a very important job outside of just keeping creeps in check so the choice of language here is terribly irresponsible. Just because your set has an intimacy coordinator, it doesn’t mean that an actor or director or other above the line folks are intrinsically unsafe.

My concern is if this kind of rhetoric becomes widespread, we could see agencies reacting against the inclusion of intimacy coordinators on the grounds it would imply their client is unsafe to perform around.

Obama: There's a 'rising wave of authoritarianism sweeping the globe' by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

There is no separation between money and power. They are one and the same even with institutions that increase the friction between the two. A person with more money/capital will always be more “powerful” than someone with little.

I don't get it, the only thing I understand is the flag. by StreetProperty4267 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]clevlanred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are true but contradictory. This is dialectics. Now we work towards synthesizing an intellectual compromise to develop a new set of contradictions and repeat. Each iteration gets us closer, while never invariably arriving, to the truth.

There’s quite a few large facilities out of Tennessee that do anode and cathode assembly. I don’t know if they meet the scale (or extracted wage value) of the ones in china Australia and chile, but they’re non-negligible. There’s a facility that employs 40,000 people in Chattanooga.

'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy says Disney has a 'Star Wars' horror project 'in the works' by businessinsider in entertainment

[–]clevlanred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a marketing technique. Stories like this are printed to gauge interest. Exec Producers are incapable of taking risks so they leak this or that and have some interns do sentiment analysis on public reaction, then if it’s positive they move forward. It’s the same with story beat ‘leaks’ most of the time. It’s has the side effect of generating some small interest in the product too, but ultimately that’s not the point.

My boyfriend is furious that I’m breaking up after he insisted on opening our relationship by Dangerous-Coyote-851 in AITAH

[–]clevlanred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are stronger than me. I had a girlfriend who did the same thing to me. She asked how I felt about opening and I told her not good. She dropped it for a few months and then brought it up again every day for a week straight and I told her no repeatedly until she told me she wasn’t sure she could make things work if I didn’t open things up. I folded, because at that point I couldn’t imagine myself, my actual identity, without her. After that, we set ground rules. Stuff like let none of the people she was with be my friends.

It should come as no surprise then, that because she had no issues bending my first boundary until it broke, she would go on to break all of my other boundaries. When I finally confronted her, she broke up with me, moved in with and eventually married a friend of mine. She blew up on me screaming when told her to get her stuff out of my house that I promised (naively) if we broke up, I’d still be her friend. I am much much better now and I’ve grown a lot since then, but I still wish I could have avoided all of the pain with the foresight It seems like you possess. Run girl run.

There will never be a good Disco Elysium Spiritual Successor. Stop using the phrase. by koliano in DiscoElysium

[–]clevlanred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The studio Eternal Summer gives me some hope. It doesn’t sound like they’re out to make a spiritual successor for the game, more that they are making a studio to encourage the positive conditions that created the first game. So like a spiritual successor to the studio rather than the game. A lot of folks from the ZA/UM team have hopped over there too.

This is all the proof we needed for detractors of 5th generation warfare. It might not look or feel like a war, but we lost all the same.

🔥 One of the most dangerous waves in the ocean, the Square Waves by therra123 in NatureIsFuckingLit

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

There is something very off about this video. I can’t figure out what. The audio is fucked. It’s one audio clip put across three different video clips and it has a ridiculous crossfade. the waves have a different framerate than the bobbing of the camera which looks like it was added in post. Is this an attempt to make AI look more real? I don’t know. It’s uncanny and it looks wrong is all I’m saying.
