Wasn't a huge fan of the move to 3D animation but it wasn't all bad. Movies like The Mitchell's VS The Machines and Klaus show that 3D animation can have a ton of soul and style. Think the problem is most corporate studios just failing at making good stories / art most of the time in pursuit of the lowest common denominator.
That said, fuck AI slop. Soulless by definition
Now I'm kinda weirded out that all the people I see in bike shorts are going commando under there...
Edit: Well there you go. Suppose its no different than skin tight swim shorts.
I imagine what you normally do to prevent poop particles should be fine. Also I believe most people wear underwear under bike shorts? I cycle almost daily but just wear regular clothes or gym clothes so not entirely sure with padded bike shorts.
Also, having grown up all my life with bidets and "bum guns", it never hurts to clean down there with some water and soap anyway.
Would that be a disassociation?
Brain's taking the joke too seriously and trying to imagine what divorcing yourself would entail
True, and also more nukes in play is just bad overall

Wait, is it inherently bad for an artist to self-insert? Isn't that one of the key ways they share their perspective? If there's some bizarre strawman-ing or self-aggrandizing going on it can problematic but the general idea of an artist self-inserting themselves or their ideas into their work seems fine to me.
This was the discussion on a recent post, which seems to be deleted now, about "AI" art on beer cans in the Mildly Infuriating community.
It's really upsetting how much art is now seen as AI looking when AI art only looks that way cause it was trained on great art. Anything stylized, slightly sepia, realistically shaded, etc etc, automatically assumed to be AI when some people have trained decades to develop this style themselves, but now it's just slop style
I haven't been watching much in terms of actual shows for a good while, then while listening to a podcast a host casually mentioned they had rewatched Chernobyl, how it still holds up, that there's a reason it got as much acclaim as it did, etc. So I thought I'd give it a go and wow, loved it (still one episode left to watch).
Had me thinking, what else have I missed out on? What are some "absolute cinema" TV shows that still hold up and and are considered must watch?
Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?
Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.
I was checking to see if Broken Earth had been mentioned! It's the only story I'm aware of that does second person (not all chapters).
