I never know which is which. I've read both The Society of the Spectacle and Simulacra and Simulation but I don't think I understood any of it, so a vague allusion is the best I can do. I understood a lot more of the 2016 documentary HyperNormalization, which is a synthesis of both? (I understood neither, so I'm just guessing there.)
Yes, in fact there's a whole genre of video essay where people explain how Mr Beast is problematic.
But to be fair, he's just an extension of the last 30 years of reality tv. Lure some desperate people with a large sum of cash, make them suffer in front of the camera, edit liberally, air for the entertainment of millions.
Additionally, one of the most popular tv shows of the decade is a criticism of exactly this phenomenon. Mr Beast did a whole tv series that tried to be Squid Game unironically, completely missing the moral of the story and spawning another round of criticism. Something something Guy Debord, something Jean Baudrillard something.
As a kid I went to a large indoor ball pit once where they had something like that, but they had the outputs hooked up to marble runs and ball cannons. It would also filter out any broken balls. I don't know how long it took to cycle through all the balls, because this place was absolutely massive. Probably millions of balls.
Not just the flexibility, people underestimate the forces an adult body generates by spinning that mass at those distances. A kid couldn't break his own bones, but I could easily break a kid's bones.
Ok, no reason to call me out specifically. I tried it, okay!? I landed on my face and broke a tooth. I still have trouble being upside down without thinking about that day.
I cried when the clown beckoned for the student clown to come closer, expertly keeping the pie hidden behind his back. I tore my clothes and threw ash over my head when the student clown crafted a second pie unbeknownst to the head clown. Woe humanity, will this cycle of violence never end?
Haibane Renmei sets up a lot of questions, but I don't think it would have any satisfying answers. The world is a backdrop for the character arcs. Why did Kuu fly? It isn't explained, not to us or to Rakka, and the question eats at Rakka, which is the whole point. Death does not give reasons, it just is.
I don't really get this criticism. Doesn't the murder and the time travel happen in episode 1? From there until they get their hands on the IBN is kinda slow, but it's also building the mystery side of the story and introducing all the characters. I recently rewatched and there's so much foreshadowing, you could actually piece together the whole story before any of the action starts. So I'll defend the opinion that Steins;Gate is perfect and has no bad episodes or even wasted moments.
It's a general approach to names with numbers at the end, the list is full of those. I'm almost more interested in the more specific patterns like name(69)+, because was there an alt name6969 he wanted to block but an unrelated name67 he wanted to avoid?
I'm staunchly sub-over-dub, but I'm not anti-dub. A good dub is a piece of art, it's just a different piece of art than the original work. Dubbing is very difficult to do right, especially for live action. It takes good writing to match the lip flaps, good acting to match the facial expressions, and good sound design to match the scene. Anyone can stick a couple bored actors in a studio and record a terrible audio track that sorta conveys the necessary information, but I wouldn't call that dubbing.
I really dislike dubs with celebrity film actors. Film acting is much more focused on screen presence, but there's nothing to see with a dub. A stage actor is generally a much better voice actor, because on stage you have to act so the people in the back can hear your emotions. Picking a big name just shows a lack of respect for the art of dubbing in my opinion, and it doesn't bode well for every other facet of the quality.
The author of Twokinds is the brother of Markiplier!? Unexpected crossover event.
And how is it possible that Twokinds doesn't have a Wikipedia article. It should be high profile enough, even ignoring that he is Markiplier's brother. I want to speak to Wikipedia's manager.
It's not just the graphics that improved in the last 20 years. Modern game engines created a floor of quality where input just works, basic configuration just works, autosave just works. All these little conveniences around the game itself that you barely think about, until you play a shooter from 20 years ago and the buttons are mapped weirdly and there's no way to remap.
There is one widely published instance of a woman almost losing custody of her two children after a court-ordered genetic test returned a mismatch. Had to be pretty confusing to hear that the guy is indeed the father, but... Objection! You are not the mother of these children!
Did you specify the cool brother because the other one is the hot brother?

It says "printed", could be any printing technique. Is there something in the picture that points to 3D printer?
€500: Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
Es forziert die Produzenten energieeffiziente Geräte herzustellen und nicht über "Leistung" zu konkurrieren.

Pretty sure it's Nathan Fraser and Brendan Fillion
Which one is Amdy Samberg
