It's frustrating because you know the first studio with good distribution to make a thematically traditional film will destroy the box office, but get harangued by the "critics." Although, watching globohomo writers accidentally create some of the most racist shit ever is highly amusing by itself.
I didn't see it, watch any trailers, and don't know anything about it at all, but I think this is what happened with that demon hunter anime movie recently that went box office gangbusters. All the tawk I saw about it was like "wow, this is like a straightforward good movie! we never see that anymore"

It does matter, because if you know how its supposed to be done, you can catch errors before they become massive problems. A tool can make the job easier, but it can't replace knowing the trade. Unless your comfortable taking the risk that something might fail, and I think we know massive corporations are perfectly fine with the risk.
I agree in theory but in practice if people can't get work in these fields doing the job in the traditional way then they're not gonna learn how to do them in the traditional way. People need a financial incentive to spend thousands of hours getting good at a trade and at this point I'd sooner advise a kid to learn plumbing than anything involving data or computers.

The closest we have to something like that is frieren and if you know anything about that show is that the Redditors didn’t like certain parts of that series because it didint go for the obvious subversive trope
 
This is in preparation for her presidential run in 28
I disagree, she's got zero chance of winning a statewide election in texas, I think her path is more like beto. She knew she couldn't possibly win her new district, and she'd likely have to move to even be able to run.

One might argue that's more or less what we got with K-Pop Demon Hunters. Three cute, hetero girls singing songs and fighting objectively evil bad guys while also swooning over bad boys. People were so friggin' starved for even that meagre a skeleton of a "normal" storyline that it got a full theatrical release and broke records. And this shit was cliched already way back when Sailor Moon was a thing.
 
She hasn't even the hope of an alcoholic trying to stay sober while working in a liquor store.
I'm not even sure she can beat talarico in the primary. He's not super well known yet, but he's a young rising star, and he's very likable. Him vs crockett's ghetto ass is the fight for the future of the democratic party. As a right wing guy he worries me, I would like nothing more than them proving yet again reasonable decent people have no place in that party.

It makes me think about how everyone talks about how AI is gonna decimate the field of professional art, but a second order effect of this is going to be that way fewer people learn how to make art

Eh some artist are really just perverts with motive to learn enough skills to make their pervsion reality.

it will thin the herd thats for sure.
 
Better yet, its going to make people with actual talent, and/or work ethic more sought after. Take a look at hand-made furniture for example, far more expensive than the mass produced stuff you find at stores. A painting done by an actual artist, with actual dedication is worth more than any AI abomination created from other artist's work. The poor will live with AI products, the rich won't.
I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

I never saw that film but I'm not surprised.

I don't watch anime so I have no idea what happened. All I know is a normal fucking film without a stupid twist or hamfisted "wOw So SuBvErSiVe" theme would do well because Hollywood is currently obsessed with globohomo worship.
 
Until they do.
Unfortunately, nobody can really organize to "do" anything, because the full force of the US security state cracks down on anything right-wing. We don't have anything like the Sturmabteilung in Weimar. I guess the Proud Boys were close to that back in 2016 but they got smashed. Leftoids have national terror cell networks; meanwhile rightoids get life-ruined over a small riot in the capitol, their chats get infiltrated by FBI agents entrapping them, their compounds get burned down by the ATF, etc

He looks like a mega church pastor grifter.
 
Never, ever trust a guinea who tries to look like a WASP.
He was apparently born to a single mother and adopted by a man of Italian descent. Still shouldn't probably trust him though, individuals such as he are good liars that are able to cover up their deception and agenda with hollow niceties.

She'll get the black vote which is pretty sizable in Texas, she'll get most of the progressive vote, and some moderate votes (moderates who want someone more fiery against Trump). Talarico will get most of the moderate vote (wanting their heckin' wholesome politics back, lol) and some of the progressive vote (those of them smart enough to realize he's their best choice). The question will be who the spic Democrats vote for.

You ever notice how subversion can become a trope in storytelling? Like how 20 years ago it was unique and brave to have a “what if good guys are bad guys” mouthing in your story but now it’s just expected. Like how many times ive seen a fantasy do the subversive tropes of “demons are actually good, church is evil” and other Reddit cliches. Like Im genuinely more surprised when a story doesnt have any of these tropes at this point. Im not sure what you would call this type of writing personally i refer to it as Reddit writing becuase this is the crap that Redditors and video essayist would glaze.

Thats because the weather men came from the credential class, who wanted to lift up "others" aka they wanted status and power, and sought it by having a bunch of pets.

They fled into academia, and were pardoned because of the class they were.

Marvin buildt the killdozer

lugi shot an insurance CEO

The only reason they succeeded is because they werent organized or talking about shit.

Any group that seeks political power through organizing will get fucking infiltrated ether by feds. or grifters or most likely both.

Fuck that ray epps fucker tried to start shit at the bundy ranch stand off.

So good luck organizing

I stand by my original point. An Italian man should look like he knows how to make you delicious pasta fazool or a slit your throat at any moment.
 
It's honestly a forced error on Trump's part. I don't know why people think AI is some huge deal, unless of course they have a shitload of money they're gambling on it. If China is leading in AI and their society is still dogshit, then what use is AI to us?
Because the people behind it are insanely rich. Same with the crypto scams he's on board with.
