"You are just proving that gender is socially constructed": Drag queen slams Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • That's a good point.

    There has to be something over the top about the performance, right?

    Because I think of David bowie and obviously he had different personalities and quite flashy costumes, but it would be difficult for me to say he was doing drag, partly because he was so poised.

    It's definitely an interesting piece of culture.

  • hooooly shit! has anyone else played journey?

    I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

    That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

    I was absolutely entranced.

    has the font size and color for the points been changed in the update?

    I'm having trouble seeing the points and I noticed that they're a dull gray and I believe tinier than they used to be.

    Has anyone else having trouble reading the points in the smaller new font or is it update panic mode and I'm not acclimatized yet?

    A catalog for an art exhibition by the cartoonists Hayao Miyazaki and Moebius that ran from 2004 to 2005 at Monnaie de Paris in Paris, France.

    Thought I'd throw this up since the link is missing from the op and it is a very cool catalog.

    wow, how good is "careless whisper"

    It's unfortunately such a pop culture joke that I've never listened to it before now.

    I just listened to it, and it's amazing.

    how can I remove an LLM from my Ubuntu computer?

    SOLVED by joneskind

    I have Ubuntu 20.04.1, I've installed ollama and a couple llms, it's amazing, but tinyllama is gibberish and I've just realized I don't know how to remove the llms from my computer or where they're stored, or anything about them.

    Mistral is very impressive btw

    TMNT Mutant Mayhem is great!

    This is the most fun I've had with any Ninja turtles media since like that comic book where they had to fight a bunch of stuff some kid drew because he had a magic crystal.

    The art is beautiful and very cool, the jokes were really fun, the turtles have great personalities and everyone is a great voice actor.

    I had so much fun watching this.

    There were even a few spots in the movie, like more than one where I was on the edge of my seat enthralled by the action sequences.

    Highly recommended.

    Where are the White Ninja animated comics from Vine?

    So apparently 60 animated white ninja shorts based on the white ninja web comic aired on Vine, does anyone have any idea where they are now?

    https://ipf.ca/series/white-ninja/

    This place says season 2 is available on toonstar, but I didn't even know what that is.

    I checked their website but there's nothing, like not even links anywhere to anything so I could poke around the site at all.

    Wow, I know I'm late to the party, but Andor is literally what I've always wanted from Star Wars.

    What an absolutely perfect depiction of this universe. I'm starting the second episode of season 1 now.

    TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

    Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

    In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

    As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

    The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

    $20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

    Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

    does anyone have more insight into ellen Ripley's role as warrant officer on the nostromo in Alien(1979)? Happy Aliens day btw

    Update: Answered in the comments much more thoroughly and succinctly than I can summarize, so head below for some great answers.

    ---

    She's apparently the warrant officer, which I've seen hypothetical explanations state is the XO, the second in command, but she explicitly states that she is the third officer at the end of the movie, and throughout The movie she is the pilot and she checks the electrician's work and volunteers to go fight the alien first, and also states that she is in command while the others were off the ship.

    So was Kane second in command?

    And what is a warrant officer?

    Thank you

    BTW if there is a crazy Aliens expert, I have a few tiny questions that only a crazy fan who literally read everything ever written and watched every interview about the movie might be able to answer.

    TIL about blindsight, a phenomenon by which visually blind people can apparently see or detect objects without using their visual cortex

    It was a footnote in an article I read about a monkey using blindsight and that there had been several experiments with humans proving blindsight existed and that surprised me. As a footnote.

    There have been several experiments that indicate people can see without using their visual cortex.

    I'm watching Nuka break on YouTube and noticed these boys sticking out their tongues

    Incidentally, it's a pretty great show. I am way more jazzed about watching this fan-made fallout show than I was when I saw the preview for the upcoming netflix show.

    In case you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPkaQM4NJKU&t=7522

    So now I have to open Bluetooth to toggle it on and off instead of a one-click toggle. Real shit "feature upgrade"

    And there's no way to fix it short of flashing a new rom,as I understand. Just have to deal with the extra step now.

    I was not impressed with this phone and they just keep making it less-user friendly.

    I mean how the fuck are they justifying not letting you see which devices are connected to your hotspot?

    Ri-diks.

    the thing opening scene

    So the dog. Opening scene. If it's just looking to infect everyone it possibly can, it doesn't make a lot of sense for it to turn around and stare at the pursuing helicopter.

    Are there prevailing fan theories about the reason that the dog, presumably the surviving thing, stopped and looked back at the pursuing helicopter?

    Does anyone know what Tricia o'neil is saying around 37:16 in Piranha 2?

    Sherman: Your methods pretty scientific lady

    Anne: studied urine biology before I met Steve

    The movie is way more fun than I was worried about, it was James Cameron's directorial debut.

    It's very dumb, but the enjoyable kind.
