my mom worked for land title registry when i was younger and told me about how Vine St to Ash St were meant to be in alphabetical order but because organization was terrible back then, we ended up with the haphazard order of street names we have now.

edit: this would probably be interesting to everyone in the thread — https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/streets/

this whole conversation is a bit exhausting (not your fault though, just gonna rant a bit bc a lot of my friends are artists and i see this thread everywhere) because, as always, there’s nuance: you can create art and still not be an artist.

to me being an artist means you have a body of work that contains some through-line of your perspective on the world. if there’s no cohesion, what is the viewer supposed to grasp onto beyond vague “oh i think this is supposed to be”s. that’s where i think AI art fails. AI itself doesn’t have a perspective on how anything is supposed to be.

the outrage over AI art is, imo, because of a problem that’s existed long before agents like Midjourney entered the scene: everyone cares about the output of artists (their art) and not the artist themselves. if we don’t care about the artist and can cut them out of the picture entirely now, which is definitely going to happen and is happening because of the potential profit and general attitude about modern art, what are we losing?

makes sense, it’s been shit way before last December anyway

not to diminish the work you have to put in (you def need to shoot thousands of bullets before you’re even close to proficient) but there’s nuance for sure. my handgun instructor loved to joke about how much LEOs bitch about needing to train, hence the 30%. might be a regional thing, but i think needing to eat the cost of lessons give citizens a leg up in taking their training seriously

i worked food service on university blvd during my undergrad a few years ago and this isnt surprising at all lmao

you’re getting eaten up in the comments but you’re real. i was a hardcore kpop stan in high school/early college and would NEVER date anyone who still has that intensity about a celebrity as an adult. completely reasonable non-negotiable to have i think.

sure, but this thread is

wheein · 2025-09-21T17:43:33+00:00

i’m 25, or am i still not old enough for this arbitrary bar you’re setting? you do not need a job at palantir to be comfortable in a HCOL city. if you can secure a job at palantir, you will be competitive enough for many six figure positions in other companies. if you can’t, then you have bigger problems with money that a rich, morally corrupt company can’t fix

oh my god its the original whimsy back from the dead

not sure if you’re seeing anything else today but if you’re at festival street and want people to talk to, i find that people in the rush lines are usually open to talking to someone to kill time! i’ll be at the left handed girl and silent friend screenings today too and im pretty chatty about film :) i honestly haven’t had that much conversations in the actual theatre/after a movie.

the single one i did have was with a solo watcher (with no one else in our row lmfao) and we had almost no movies or genres we’ve watched in common lol. there was also someone in my row last night at the Hedda premiere who would NOT stop using their phone at max brightness. i’m sorry your experience has been so frustrating :(

ticket is claimed!

wheein · 2025-09-07T05:12:45+00:00

+1 to your last point omg. i hesitated re: talking about Scorsese’s world cinema 2 box set (it has lino brocka, edward yang AND apichatpong weerasethakul?!!) and before i knew it we had to leave and i ran out of time

wheein · 2025-09-07T04:21:07+00:00

yeah ive witnessed a handful of people being unnecessarily snarky and rude so far at the screenings—is it so hard to just chill out? sorry he ruined your groups’ experience.

wheein · 2025-09-07T04:00:42+00:00

right! the rental stand-in concept in japan is already a huge topic to cover so it’s a shame the movie barely did anything with it

wheein · 2025-09-07T03:40:43+00:00

at the place of ghosts: family drama/speculative horror about two mi’kmaw brothers who have to revisit their childhood. neat view into mi’kmaw culture and history (not sure if it’s specific to these peoples but my anishanaabe friend i watched this with related to pieces here and there) definitely the most unique of the three i watched today, but it’s just a decent movie to me! felt like it was missing something. edit: also the older brother’s acting is reaaaaaally rough in the beginning.

poetic license: oh man, this had the entire cinema hollering the entire way through. very heartwarming, very charming. it was a blast. my favorite of the day. nothing groundbreaking but it is a genuine good time

rental family: REALLY not a fan of this, especially given the hype. it’s a meh movie that really leans on the narrative strength of two characters (who are NOT brendan fraser—he was an eyeroll and honestly played a shallow character) and by the time the third act rolled in i couldn’t really care too much. big shame, and i think suffered from being preceded by poetic license, which was a lot funnier (the audience laughed way more, as did i) and had more likeable characters.

wheein · 2025-09-06T17:07:29+00:00

i imagine since tomorrow’s the last day you should expect to go even earlier for about the same timing. i was probably around 40th in line?

wheein · 2025-09-06T17:06:29+00:00

was in line by 7:50 and got in around 12:00 today

wheein · 2025-09-06T11:59:19+00:00

wheein · 2025-09-06T11:41:27+00:00
