they don't seem to make movies like Forrest Gump, The Truman Show or The Sixth Sense anymore. it seems to be all superhero and fantasy movies now. at least that's what i see them advertise everywhere.
a lot of 90s movies were about having realistic worlds where extraordinary things happened to ordinary people.
with superheroes and fantasy, it's the opposite. the characters and/or settings are purposefully unrealistic and there's CG in every shot. such movies feel a bit plasticky to me.
"feeling plasticky" is a bit of a vibe of the post-2000 era, isn't it? everything's polished and digital. i think this is why the hipster aesthetic exists. it's the stark opposite of futurism.
Hallo @kranfahrer
happy to know @wauz is back
As some of you know, I've been on the kidney transplant list for a while, since 2019, to be exact. I'm listed at 1 hospital, & am working on getting listed at another. In the meantime, you can help! Kidneys from living donors are healthier and last longer on average than kidneys from deceased donors. Can you help me find one? I know it's a big ask for a stranger on the internet, but maybe you or someone you know could be the one to give the gift of a better life! Blood type O+. Please share far!
If you'd like to check your elegibility or have any other questions, you can go to:
tgh.org/livingdonorform
call 813-844-5669
or email:

Thank you for your consideration! #KidneyDisease #KidneyTransplant
I'll be honest. I don't think I fully understand the fediverse. I thought I did when we were just talking in terms of Mastodon, but when other sites started getting in on the game, I realized maybe I didn't. As I'm typing this though, I'm realizing the benefits. I do that a lot, answering my own questions as I'm asking them, lol.
Sometimes I wonder, is there even any point to putting the word out about my need for a kidney online? But then the people at the hospital tell me to do whatever I can, and I know a donor can come from anywhere, and I figure, at least it can't do any harm!
Reddit: "My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and the students need to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it."

Honestly, this is great! The students learn to check sources, discover that ChatGPT is unreliable, *and* can't use it to generate essay question answers for them, all at the same time!
