- Comment on Accurate 1 week ago:
I think in The Matrix the fact that he stands out as a little different and inconsistent adds significantly to the allegory of the movie. I really don’t think the main character in a 90’s movie about the trans experience calls for someone who blends in.
That said he doesn’t stand out all that much. For example, Sandler would be, while i think hilarious(at the time), a completely narrative breaking choice. On the other side, DiCaprio would have “acted” well but broken it as badly by following the assignment too well.

I don’t get it.
He’s been the perfect choice for every major role he’s done and been iconic for it. Everything from matrix to bill and teds to cyberpunk would have been worse with any other actor.
Just because he’s admittedly less flexible doesn’t mean he’s bad at it.

That advice was actually relevant in 2002. Now it’s a more secure method.

Yeah there’s a reason I’m leaving the energy sector. The choice to use fossil fuels for grid in the last 50yrs has been and will continue to be a purely political one.

Woke: I realize some of my inherited ideology is bigoted, doesn’t represent my values, and I’m fixing it.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 5 weeks ago:
I get your point but they’re both reflections of how the wealthy decorate in the different eras. The 80/90’s house would likely have been advertised with the same wallpapers and dressed up similar to the movie set by Realtors because that was the style.

Solidly A2 (European system) with that grammar(English translation) so 3-6 months (1-2 terms of university course).
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 5 weeks ago:
The before pictures are bourgie and give a 90’s generational wealth ick, but at least it still looks like there’s a human being living there experiencing something nearly recognizable as a human emotion from time to time.

But reference frame changes as the cube passes through the portal. The piston would feel resistance as its momentum is transferred to the cube to conserve it.

Turns out they’re the reason we haven’t had nuclear war. All this nonsense about MAD, HAHAHA no! The powerful just won’t do it without baikouts for their investments.

The nuclear war clause is in nearly every insurance policy, not just pets.
