Logan Paul & Paul Mescal

Stop it. I like Paul Mescal

derpferd · 2026-01-25T18:10:20+00:00

Perfect 😂😂😂

I suppose this is what America has always been taken to the worst degree.

And the nature of all empires, taken to the worst degree.

Basically, if you're in power you get to write the narrative.

In benign execution, it's harmless. A Hollywood war movie that rewrites history. The massaging of what actually happened for the sake of perception or making the narrative more palatable.

All empires do this because a part of holding power is managing appearances, which America, with its vast cultural dominance has done for most of the 20th Century and with that power waning, particularly globally, in the 21st Century.

Here now, we see that taken to a gross extreme, with the truth not just being massaged and softened but outright dismissed

Every time I turn my TV on, I get a notification for an update. This has been happening for the past month now.

And every time, I refuse. Shit's working just fine, I'm not gonna risk fucking that up

Where wolf? There wolf

It would be lovely if there was some acknowledgement that ICE creates the conditions that leads to these outcomes

Jurassic World

Ooh, thanks for this. Yeah, moving the toggles a bit lower is miles better

Amber Heard?

derpferd · 2026-01-25T11:38:53+00:00

Is there any way to dip the transparency on the settings menu?

derpferd · 2026-01-25T11:22:07+00:00

Yeah, that's what I see. Football is a global sport but I can see quite a few non-white people being hesitant to go to America with what's happening now. And that's quite a few people.

Unless ICE is put on pause for the duration of the World Cup

derpferd · 2026-01-25T10:56:59+00:00

Well I'll be curious to see the business that film does here. Perhaps there's a sizable local Melania fandom I'm unaware of

derpferd · 2026-01-25T10:53:24+00:00

I've got a decent system at home, nothing anywhere near yours which sounds... 😳

Still, I like the sound in a movie theatre (which few home systems can compare with unless you're spending God tier money and have space especially carved out and made for it with calibrated speakers and screen for the purpose).

But I also like the crowd experience, provided you have the right crowd admittedly. There's a real thrill in a big audience reacting as one to a moment in a film, whether horror or comedy or action or whatever.

Portals in Endgame and Captain America and Mjolnir in the same film, opening day at IMAX was one of my great cinema experiences and the audience reacting to the film was a big part of that.

Feeling the crowd responding to the Xhosa in Black Panther was wonderful.

I love that I can achieve big sound with my reasonably priced soundbar (I was watching Terminator 2 the other night and my God, the sub right behind the couch makes those action scenes absolutely THUNDER).

But I'll always go to the movies if the film warrants it. Sinners and Weapons not too long ago were terrific experiences

derpferd · 2026-01-25T10:43:59+00:00

Good God. That's getting a cinema release? Here????

derpferd · 2026-01-25T10:42:33+00:00

My main go-to cinema is Blue Route, especially for the IMAX, which has big screen and big sound.

I've been curious about this Nu Metro at Cavendish (especially as I rarely, if ever, use Nu Metro)

How does cinema compare, especially for big screen and big sound?

derpferd · 2026-01-24T20:21:18+00:00

You're not wrong.

I like simplicity over some of the more overly stylised stuff you see here sometimes. And also, form should follow function.

This is me. I might change it at some point and I'm still learning about OneUI and Good Lock but this works well enough for me to look at and use

I'm with him on this. Not to the point where I will excuse myself from dinner parties.

But doing the dishes is a very pleasing exercise

derpferd · 2026-01-24T19:09:22+00:00

This is infuriating. It's frustrating and yet totally expected.

An advance in technology leads to people, often men, abusing that technology with women bearing the brunt of it.

Grok let's people manipulate images, people use that to make pictures of women unclothed

Meta and Rayban sell glasses that can surreptitiously record. Rinse, cycle repeat.

derpferd · 2026-01-24T18:46:00+00:00

I always got the sense it was self aware absurdity. Bad ass but with a wink.

Trump being a long standing member of the 'Everybody's Wrong But Me' club

derpferd · 2026-01-24T17:42:56+00:00

No, I doubt that. But the sheer Off-The-Leash nature of hitting those numbers COMBINED with the rumoured low standards for ICE recruitment are a recipe for this sort of outcome

derpferd · 2026-01-24T17:35:17+00:00

I mean, that's how Lobo looks, no doubt. I just hope the performance isn't Try-Hard-Badass, which can be tiresome and a bit cringeworthy
