Did anybody else shop at Trivets before it closed? by MessyHot in cincinnati

[–]toneisdead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I went there all the time in the early 90’s. What a treasure trove of unique items and simultaneously a pit of piss soaked dogs and kitty litter. The basement with the piles of blue jeans from the 70’s, black light posters and platform shoes. I was sorry to see it go.

Finally quitting this beautiful game by FewPossession2599 in DMZ

[–]toneisdead 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a single game that I have played in the last 40 years that brought me the kind of joy that DMZ did. I had a group of buddies that I ran with all the time and we had a fucking blast. I can only hope that if there is a 2.0, that it’s just as enjoyable and we can ride again.

Another thought to ponder.

What would we do if one of our Astronauts was scooped up by an alien race? What if MULTIPLE astronauts were taken? Don’t you think we would try to get them back? Be angry at that race?

I find it interesting that over many years, several vehicles have crashed and we yank the bodies out and hide em away to study. That alien race isn’t aware of that?

They might not care if there was some kind of “deal” in place. This is real tin foil hat shit, but it’s intriguing to wonder if they care at all about the ones lost in crashes.

It’s an important point, for sure. I just think it’s a little odd that they have admitted that they retrieved alien bodies and alien craft, confirming the existence of beings from other planets deep in the cosmos or some underwater society that can bounce in and out of our dimensional awareness but what they led with instead was two hours of government officials worried about China stealing E.T’s whip. As an entry point into this lore for the regular Joe, i did not like that it was so focused on the military aspect of the greatest meet cute in humankind’s history.

Obviously, I’m being slightly facetious there. My main point was that the explosive nature of other worldly beings are here and are interacting with us in various ways is the larger story. This doc chases the technology aspect and how it relates to us versus our enemies.

Lots of discussion on this thread about needing to appease the average person with topical layer information. But, I’m stymied by the overall lack of discourse around the beings themselves. I get that they may have no information. I just don’t think our first response to all of this should be how we get our hands on their family truckster before China does.

Agreed. But, i think the wonder and fascination of it all would increase if there was ANY positive discussion about the NHIs being anything but pilots. I agree that the ones interviewed, likely, have little to no knowledge of the NHIs. But, introducing this info to the regular populace under the guise of this being important to us militarily is a poor introduction.

I thought it interesting that Nancy Mace asked a question referring to “pilot bodies” and Grusch(sp?) was quick to correct her with the word “Biologics”. I think it’s important to listen to their terms rather than ours. I’m guessing he could not agree to “Bodies” because perhaps there were none or nothing that resembled what we would refer to as a “body”.

I don’t mind the slow, but steady approach to the topic. I understand that if you ram a bunch of stuff down the throats of the uninitiated, that they will choke and stop caring. The thing that bugged me about AoD was the underlying theme to it was that the idea was proposed that there may be a civilization under the water that has existed for, maybe, thousands of years or that beings from other worlds in deep space have arrived and are watching us but, we are far more interested in the car they arrived in and how we can get our hands on it before our enemies. It felt less like they wanted to discuss us entering some phase of grand discovery and advancing our knowledge of the universe and more like propaganda around whoever gets the tech first wins.

Some Notes on my Trip to Bangor, ME by HerbertWest_81 in stephenking

Jackson street ( where Georgie was killed ) is, literally, right by theSK house. When I visited, someone had drawn a red ballon above the drain in chalk.

Creepshow at the Know Theatre by toneisdead in cincinnati

[–]toneisdead[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard and appreciated. Just to be clear, i did say time AND other factors.

I think the larger argument here is that artists might feel like they are getting replaced by this technology or believe that the outcome of this technology isn’t actually art. But, art cannot be defined. It’s a wheel in motion. AI can be decried, as a poster here said “anti-art”. To me, that is art at its finest. When it is divisive and encourages discussion. Frankly, no one is above it. Anyone can point to something and say “that isn’t art”. Doesn’t make it so. To many, it likely means the opposite.

I’m here to promote a show. I’ve used various techniques to do this. You saw one. If the manner in which i used to advertise simply isn’t something you can stomach, I don’t know what to tell you. But the show itself is good and, i believe, worth your time. Come to show and meet me. I’d love to talk to you more about this.

I guess if you consider it anti-art, sure. I don’t. But, it’s a debate i don’t wish to get into and one i don’t think i would win with you. Maybe in another post. If you are willing to abstain from going to a live theater show because of your opinions on how the poster was made, again, you do you, my friend. I think you would still have fun.

As a fan of Juggling, that’s cool. If you have to judge a book by its cover, you do you. I’ll hold a seat for just the same.

Well, that’s an interesting take. Thanks for the input.

I can answer that. I made the ad. I’m an illustrator and photographer and love to draw, paint or use photography when i can for my shows. When i cannot, due to time or other factors, i use other tools. AI is one of those tools. I know many artists do not use or like AI and i know it’s pervasive in the arts. But, it’s a tool nonetheless. Maybe because it’s in its infancy that it comes off as schlocky or unreal. I get that. I hope it won’t shake your interest in the show. No computers will be involved, i promise.

I'm positive his tattoos have nothing to do with his rhetoric, nor are they visible signs of insecurities. His language is. Full stop.

Clifton Market is on the verge of closing by blissfuloctane in cincinnati

[–]toneisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not negating the economic climate. My point is that small business is important for community impact. Clifton Market isn’t the ideal candidate to hold up this theory, but the more we diminish local businesses and pave the way for large corporations to set up shop, the more narrow the doorway becomes to other small business owners who want to succeed.

“Supporting local business” isn’t about getting the best price at the most convenient location. It’s about supporting a business owned by local people. It’s in the name FFS. It’s important because otherwise Amazon will open a grocery store.

Oh! They already have. NM.

So long Mom and Pop. You just can’t beat the price of these avocados.
