Genuinely Captivating and creative gem of a movie that I wanted to share. It's a beautiful story about the duality of selfishness and selflessness in an alien enchanted forest type world with a spiritual component. A rare fantasy world that is truly original in it's concept. No horses anywhere in sight 🐎 Jim Henson, the lead producer, had to fund this movie through his more successful work with the Muppets Show. He made several movies just to make this one. I've noticed that often creatives have to fund their passion projects through work they're less passionate about but that the market rewards. The Dark Crystal was profitable, but no suit would ever touch a Dark Crystal movie. The movie is a creative deluge, but production costs must have been out of this world 🪐🌀 The premise of the story: You can watch the whole thing on YT. I love watching the making of films of old movies. There was very limited things you could do with computers. Everything was practical and people had to get very creative in order to make a convincing film. I think Lord of the Rings was kind of the cut off point where movie productions became more and more reliant on CG and they started to lose their charm a little. They stopped using miniatures and shit. I think the only cg heavy movie I like is Revenge of the Sith, because it's so earnest in its corniness. They genuinely thought that the cg was super cool.

Are you about to win an argument or losing a friend?

Did we ever stop bullying AI? 🤨 It's not cringe, it's garbage.

If there's smoke...

People are different with unique needs, lifestyles, metabolisms, allergies, etc. It's impossible to generalize the best diet for everyone. It doesn't hurt to experiment with your diet to find what works for you. Just be honest about your results. I know that my mom calms her stomach by eating salty licorice. Don't ask me how that works. Dietary guidelines are good frameworks for the average person though. The average person is so haphazard with their diet that following any health oriented guideline is an upgrade, as that usually just means more veggies and less junk.

But it doesn't understand. It doesn't know anything. your speaking to a ghost.

Nah you need that. During the day you rarely actually need wifi for important stuff. You can set it up so that your wifi is only active for 1 hour a day.

just turn off your wifi.

There's a different vibe when it's a choice, I guess. Obviously, if you need ozempic in the first place it's kind of a skill issue (besides due to having specific health issues like diabetes). I'm more optimistic, if only that it makes weightloss feel more achievable such that they become actually serious about. But it's still early days.

I hate how Google prioritizes Reddit search results so much now, besides AI summaries being 40-100% based of Reddit comments. Sometimes the first page is nothing but Reddit. Utter trash.

I actually think Dota is probably the more chad game to wizardmaxx. That's shit's hard. That and CS. Way more pathetic to play some gacha gooner game for 1000+ hours. If Dr. K had 1000s of hours into Genshin Impact, Fate, etc. his opinions would be as good as worthless.

How long have you been using them?

"People are saying", IE. 1-2 comments of Reddit.

Sounds like a you problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's much much worse for wasting time. They are literally designed to be addictive. People play for 1000s of hours while neglecting making something of their lives. It's way more problematic. The entire media environment can easily slopify your life, but porn gets singled out as uniquely evil despite only taking a fraction of people's time relative to other forms of entertainment on average.
