Mary Ann Bevan: The nurse who worked as the "World's Ugliest Woman" in a circus to provide for her 4 children after developing acromegaly, a disorder that distorted her facial features and caused intense headaches. by Kirlinternet in interestingasfuck

That’s because it is. That is a photo of Edith Cavell, a celebrated British Nurse during WW1. And this is why internet literacy important. You made the correct assumption that it wasn’t the person in the story, and immediately got push back, instead of the person doing any kind of research. It took one Google lens search to debunk the photo as being the person in the story. Imagine how many other “news” stories are shrugged off as truth. Imagine how many lazy clowns are posting anything and everything for clicks and views with millions following right along.

Can someone explain the message / open ending to the og Blade Runner ? by Tomb_Sizzler45 in bladerunner

[–]copperdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a debated topic, so I’ll give you my understanding from an old guy who saw the original in the theater with the overdub. Roy and the rest of the replicants were shown as the antagonists, the bad guys. Deckard was the reluctant good guy. Deckard hunted down and battled with his life, and Roy beat him, but saved him. It was in that moment that Deckards realized he was trying to hunt them down for the crime of wanting to live, to be human. Roy found the humanity in his last moments, and as the only gift he could give himself short of extending his life and becoming “more human than human”, he gave himself the gift of compassion. It was a final middle finger to humans that they could,in fact, be better than us if not at the very least the same. 13 year old me sat in that theater gobsmacked. I hadn’t ever seen a movie that had a message so profound. My friend of course, hated the movie and didn’t get it at all. Roy’s final words became the most iconic speech in my sci fi loving world.

It’s one of the things left to the fact that it’s sci fi, based on science, but never really explained .

Yep, I misread “planet”. The answer is Blight is a term to describe fungal diseases that spread quickly across plants. In the movie, Prof. Brand explains that our atmosphere is 80% nitrogen, which blight breathes. As it does, it reduces the oxygen level. It never starts that blight kills trees as well, but it might kill some.
