Were the software developers who created deepfakes somehow unaware that they were causing the downfall of the information age or did they just not care?

It’s funny because it ain’t a bad thing it’s just literally, and I mean literally, true. So it’s just kinda like seeing a meme come to life but in a cool way. In my opinion

And it dawns on you that that was literally the only reason they named that character "Christmas." For one pun at the very end of the movie.

He said under oath that he heard from somebody that knows a guy that said that there was some non-human biological material on an unidentified aircraft.

Clearly the best way to honor the greatest bloodletting in American history is to erect monuments to the traitors who caused it.

Conservatives see the universe as fundamentally hierarchical. Different things can't be better for different people, everything has to be ranked. So trans people being seen as more valid, to them, means that they, cis people, are now less valid.

The only way you can say that Trump supporters feel now the same way we felt in 2016 is if you think politics is just sports-team tribalism without any actual consequences to people's lives.

He doesn't even start off sexist. He's a dick to Mulan at the beginning because she's an objectively terrible soldier. She earns his respect and admiration by working hard and showing bravery.

Yeah conservatives don't seem to get that Satanists don't actually worship Satan. They're just atheists who don't think the word "atheist" is edgy enough.

This is why I desperately want English subtitles without the [CC], and turn subtitles off sometimes because I'd rather miss dialogue than be reminded of [heavy breathing] or [dramatic music playing] every three seconds.

You can't groom a grown adult. You also can't groom someone with a few texts over the years.
There is no "balance of power" because a celebrity you like doesn't actually have any power over you. This isn't a teacher or employer.

Something that happened in the late 2000s is that the protagonists of teen sitcoms were terrible people, kids who would have been the villain in early teen sitcoms. Look at Wizards of Waverly Place.

That has nothing to do with it, edgelord, because TV comedy is as strong as ever. They don't make theatrical comedies anymore because every movie needs to be a worldwide smash to be successful anymore.

More in general, there are two types of people:
1. Those who ask "What can I do and still call myself The Good Guy"
2. Those who ask "If I'm The Good Guy, what shoud I do?"

I love how the metaphor for the danger of democracy is hitting an iceberg, when the most famous boat to ever hit an iceberg had the top command structure.
@proyearner
TBH that was never Mulaney's whole personality, it was just a few jokes. That was the squeaky-clean uwi softboi personality the internet basically assigned to him despite that never being his public persona

Other religions: "God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and has a unknowable wise plan for each of us."
Ancient Greeks: "Our gods are useless dumbasses with super fragile egos who can't keep it in their pants."

As toxic as SW fans can get. They at least realize that Star Wars is...ya know....*fictional.* HP fans talk about it as if they genuinely believe that it's all reality. They get offended at jokes about Hufflepuffs, saying "I'M A HUFFLEPUFF!" No you're not, Sandra, it's fictional.

Stunned because her stupidity can still surprise people. If someone sat there and claimed that the moon was made of jello I've be pretty stunned and motionless too.

Dude we're still having discourse about the OT Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia and freakin' GREEK MYTHOLOGY. New generations discovering things means new bad takes every few years.

I am so exhausted of fiction that just revolves around "This thing you like? In the REAL world it would actually suck, because that's more REAL, man!" Cynicism doesn't make you clever.

@AWFULfanPOSTERS
That's a common theme in these terrible minimalist posters. You only know what it's depicting if you've already seen the movie, thereby negating the entire point of movie posters.

Onion writers after they draft up a hilarious mock letter from Trump to Erdogan and then the White House officially releases basically the same thing:
@benmekler
Modern writers kind of hate showing heroes in their prime. Heroes are only good for angsty origin stories or angsty tragic downfalls.
It's the two states we saw Luke Skywalker in, but at least that was separated by decades so it made sense.
