been trying to find a copy of this dang song for hours since it got stuck in my head! basically the only song I remember from Pokemon other than the theme songs

I terminated a network cable for the first time! I feel like I just completed some kind of geeky rite of passage

@valleyforge why even

Happy #EarthDay2022!

@soup_reviews I'm pretty sure this is a metabolism... so, you just want to be fed?

I walked around my neighborhood and saw three toads, in three separate locations within the span of about five minutes, and I wasn't even looking for them, so I'm pretty chuffed just now.

How are you?

@worldsendless aye, there's the rub. I've often thought we could really improve traffic situations if students had more self-directed education with flexible start times rather than the factory-like scheduling we have now

@worldsendless depending on where you work, you can have a more relaxed start, traffic-wise even if not WFH. I played around with going to work earlier and later than the common herd just for this reason

I did not try fermented oats. They smelled nasty.

@Pat
le shrug. you're probably right that there is racial bias in cinema, historically and today, but I don't think picking a few films somewhat at random and counting whichever uses of photographic techniques you find to support your point is an effective way to argue that case. to do something like that, you'd have to 1) ensure your movie selections were unbiased but popularity (if Hollywood is making films that's are more racially diverse in the principal cast, but Americans aren't going to see them, is that the fault of the movie makers?); 2) preselect the indicators of bias and count them for every film -- probably good to count the counterexamples too; 3) control for the fact that some actors are protagonists, so of course they get more lines, screen time, etc. -- basically, you have to make metrics like "black person in supporting role", "screen time for black person in supporting role" -- and somehow figure out how to do stats with that shit...

all that said, I guess I don't care that much about who is in movies as long as they can act. i like movies that tell a good story or make me think differently. beyond that, what matters is who's making them, who's profiting since that dictates the kinds of stories that I can hear and see in this medium... but that's more a concern for the industry, and I'm not an insider, so my only input to that process is the movies I watch.

@khird

going to try fermented oats for the first time tomorrow. hope I don't poison myself!

electrophiles? superacids? chemical hardness? I swear I never learned any of this in school

haha, awesome! I was wondering what Carrol's take on this film might be

@JRLarsen is that a bad thing? I realize I "missed" movies, but then I see what I missed, and I usually don't feel I missed much.
