Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Oh. My. God. The brave new world series is actually incredible.
I hardly remember the book from like 7th grade but this show, pretending to be the future showcasing the past. Just nails it. Only two eps in, this "festival of the black" (black friday) it's great. Just great. and the marriage explanation. brah. for real. It's just an ego thing. Dinosaurs used to rule the Earth, so the cat is making it clear that it is the new dominant species.

Have you made it through Deist's Cave yet? Are you to the Mysidian Tower? Is Purple hair your thing? "Don't have cats, have dogs"
Dog would've eaten the whole amiibo instead though, lol Offline

Example of a movie clip YouTube Video Placeholder Who wouldn't trust google corp with your personal information?! They already have it and have sold it hundreds of times. They have a lot of information about everything you do online, however they don't have your direct real world identity to link all that other information too unless you give it to them. This is about trying to make you give it to them, talking about google here. It's pretty clearly nefarious, BUT, name a better way to prove you're old enough to look at boobies.
You can't. Another case of: Yeah that makes sense but doesn't work. The "good" Justice league out today. Watchin that in like 2 hours. Can't wait.

I find it hilarious that the religious right that used to want to censor stuff (and mostly always failed because comedians and film/movie makers always stood upto them) have become totally irrelevant and now the "group that shall not be named" have taken over and are the ones pushing and getting all the censorship they want from everyone everywhere.
Current year is the year of extreme censorship, they are giving the victorians a run for their money. What what? saying words we personally don't like on the intraweb? Expressing your unpopular opinion that I do not like to your friends??? being able to see a booby or naked buttock cheek?? SEEING A WOMAN IN A BIKINI!?! How totally unacceptable!! SMITE HE with extreme voracity immediately!! The missionaries going to other nations and telling everyone there how they should act, talk and dress didn't go away, we have them today too! They just took on different political and cultural reasons for doing what they do and do it all online on twitter. Reminds me of a couple of comedians I watch, where the other day one of them mentioned how weird it was that the media censors butts. Presumably 100% of the human beings in the world have butts.
I also find it really funny that you can say "damn" and it's OK, but if you precede it with "God", it's actually the word "damn" that gets censored lol You can say "God", you can say "damn", but if you put them together it becomes "God ****!"

I mean, I can't imagine BDII has deep model physics and ray-tracing or anything like that running behind the scenes, and its gameplay engine probably doesn't look too different from decades-old turn-based RPG's. I'm not even so much trying to make a point, I'm genuinely curious. Incidentally, we're finally getting our software update at work today. My boss said that the developer always messes up the X.X.3 updates, which is what we upgraded to a year ago and it's throttled my ability to do work. But now we're moving onto 8.3.5, which he assures me is going to be more stable. Literally anything has to be better than this-- spending all morning on a project, coming back to it in the afternoon and finding it corrupted all my engineering files so I have to throw them out and start from scratch >_> Ragnarok.Jessikah said: » Reminds me of a couple of comedians I watch, where the other day one of them mentioned how weird it was that the media censors butts.

Yeah, some things you have to change your view on for them to make sense. It's easy to say "they're just words" or "it's just a butt" "it's just a nipple, every mammal has nipples" Context matters. All butts are not equal. All nipples are not equal. All words are not equal. In the most basic sense yeah, it's a matter of context. Everything makes sense and nothing makes sense, everything is conflict resolution or mitigation. What is going to give me the least irritation. And sure that can suck too, it's a matter of selfishness. sometimes you have to avoid something just to save yourself the annoyance of the reaction. i've got

Honestly the reason we are getting more and more censorious is because everything is open to everyone and everything is seen by everyone else now. Social media is a curse where everyone has to be in everyone else's business. Fighting game competitions used to be seen by a few hundred people and it was all people of a similar mindset, now if anyone does anything at all that anyone can get upset about it the world gotta know!
You know what used to happen if some dude shouted DAMN GIRL U THICC about Chun Li in a video game competition when he won or there was mass smack talk? everyone laughed and that was it. Now it's an outrage and someone gotta get fired or removed from the competition and the company, advertisers and the person that owns the building it was run have to all answer for what he said! You can't have a game community calling each other "bad things" on CSGO (that they all think is funny in their community), or a game with an exposed boob in it in the cut scene, or some comedian saying something offensive because someone will record it post it on twitter and all those kinds of people that get offended (that the content was never made for) will get offended together and then the journalists will all make hay out of it and then you have "mass outrage" from 100 people on twitter and they will make out the world is ending. Not only do these forever offended people enjoy this whole thing (because it gives them a massive power trip to shut things down without ever leaving the house) but it's also really profitable to the outrage rags. As such the things that get people "outraged" now is less about "you did bad thing" and more into the realm of "you didn't do good thing good enough!! this is outrageous!" This is why we can't have nice things, it was better when stuff was consumed and seen by the people it was made for, and your mom didn't get to see you and have to answer for you teabagging some dudes female avatar on some FPS game. And then kotaku noticing it from a tweet and asking your boss why you haven't been fired from your engineering / medical job yet. As much as I believe viewing tiddies to be a God given right the new legislations centered around liability are legal shields more than anything. Until you can't sue youtube for claiming that they're mentally scarring little Jimmy because he saw his first vulva, it'll keep getting worse.
You forget that we now have outrage industries. Plural.
People get payed good, even great, money to tell other people what they should be outraged about. Everytime i replay Breath of fire 3 i learn something new in the lore, took me a while to finally understand teepo is actually Ryu's Blood brother. how many times have i finished this maybe 19,..
