My bad, post-sarcastic world.

It's also a way to manufacture dissent and foster division.

Omg no it isn't!

This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.

Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.

Now everybody thinks they're the only righteous ones and anyone who deviates from their strict ~~opinion~~ dogma is evil.

It's, different.

Its honestly trying to be warm and wholesome-ish, with relapses here and there.

I imagine actors on set treat what they're handed like props, similar to kids treat toy guns.

In that sense, familiarity breeds contempt.

I think this is more of a wake up call.

We need to never allow functional firearms on sets, there have been too many mistakes already.

It's 100% the actors fault, if you follow basic firearm safety, that would have never happened.

The fuck kind of basic firearm safety can you follow on a movie set?

3 key rules:

  1. Finger off the trigger till not: you're going to need to look like you're shooting

  2. Don't point it at things you don't want dead: the character wants to make things dead

  3. Treat every gun like it's loaded: this was the mistake.

For 3, the story is (and I think it's not perfect) that actors are supposed to trust the armorer.

This whole thing seems like the wrong person got a functional firearm, from this Alec Baldwin should never be allowed a gun since he doesn't respect it.

But it's his job, and he wasn't expected to ever have a functional firearm.

Gross negligence without any question.

More importantly, as a producer he should have been wary of the previous complaints on the set, those are his responsibility.

Vvc is h266, the spec is ready it's just not in a lot of hardware, or even decent software yet, that often takes a few years. The reference implementation encodes at like 1fps or less, but reference software is usually slow as hell in favor of correctness and code comprehension.

Av1 isn't much better than hevc (h265), it's just open and patent free and Google is pushing it like crazy.

It has iirc 1 major feature over hevc, non-square subpictures, beyond that it has some extensions for animation and slideshows basically.

S2 andor is just perfection.

Yo, you telling me this dude gets off on little girls with pigtails?

Yeah, Ice... he's a pedophile. You work in the sex crimes division. You're gonna have to get used to that.

I did once, for some reason. I think to install maguri mod for ff9.

Otherwise? Nah, this ain't thinkin' time.

It's Memphis.

This is a city so absolutely obsessed with racist spite, that when Jim Crow ended, rather than live side by side with gasp black people.

They fucking all got up and moved 10 miles east through wheat fields to establish Germantown, the most racist nightmare of a suburb I've ever seen.
