Because the words people use are very very important.

So your saying it doesn’t matter for normal people

I don’t really think going higher than 1080p really does much for a movie, after that point the finishing returns start to set in unless you have an absolutely giant TV or you’re sitting super close to a still pretty big TV. Maybe for vidya games or something it could make a difference or something filmed in native 4k could potentially look a bit better but especially for something being digitized from a film negative, it can be a choice between keeping analog grit or smoothing it all out digitally and I’d prefer a movie shot on film to continue to look like it was shot on film.

Too many Ks. Unless you have a really really huge TV or you sit super close to it, and also have absolutely no vision problems, there’s a pretty good chance you’re not gonna tell the difference between 1080p and 4k.

He and his great team did a bad job. 4k is dumb anyway but I want a high Def version of a movie to look like the film being projected directly.

Anthrocentrism go vrooom

People shaking coconut trees are often crushed by falling people who don’t exist within the context of all in which they live and which came before them.

Hats off to those who do it. I don’t need to see things when they’re new, so I will generally just wait until there’s a home release or streaming rip. I’m not a 4k guy or whatever, I’m down with DVD quality or worse, I still wanna see it in a better format than a cam. But there’s clearly people who want it, so I’m glad people are out there doing the work.

Cpusa has been feds top to bottom for a while

As a non American, I’m still very much effected by America’s impact on the climate. I can say with certainty that most of us don’t give a shit which carcass gets hauled into the white house and we really want your country to collapse. So do that plz

Elementary school had us using tokens for math constantly and it made it way harder for me. Especially cause ‘showing our work’ meant basically drawing the lil tokens on paper that were either black or white I think black represented a minus and white represented a plus (on paper, they were red and yellow irl). So I ended out doing the equation different and then reverse engineering the method they wanted from me.

This. I went from 50s and 60s to high 90s in my last 2 years of high school math because we were getting taught wave functions and real science math finally and all you need to know there is how to figure out which formula to use and which numbers to plug in. I’m terrible at basic arithmetic but crush algebra and later got good at food math by necessity. Also just finding ways to not count as much helped. Like when doing catering we would store plates in basically giant poker chip sets on wheels. People used to stack em in randomly until I finally figured out the closest multiple of 10 you could get to in a stack before going over the top. It was 70 plates and each dolly or whatever had 4 slots for stacks, so if all was in place each was 280 which made getting the plates ready for events way quicker cause people didn’t have to manually count them, just use your 7 times table and then count the remainder to add or subtract. Once I figured out that you don’t necessarily NEED the math you learn in school but if you remember to use it, it can really fucking speed things up. Also all math should be represented as algebra from the start, instead of 2+2= and leaving a blank space phase it as 2+2=x and solve for x. I think more complex algebra wouldn’t scare kids as much if they knew they were kinda doing it all along.

I don’t have that much hard drive space to keep the giant high quality files and there are some shows that it’s pointless. Why would I watch a 1080p version of something filmed on video for example

Chumawamba are one of the most based bands

Being based was what they were all about. Their first full length Pictured of Starving Children Sell Records was a 40 minute dunk on Live Aide, they’re second, Never Mind the Ballots is an enti electoralism album. They started in the early British anarcho punk scene and played gigs with Ambix and Disorder, they just also had a band geek/theater kid thing that set then apart. Crust punks fuck with chumawamba

We’re taught that after the war the nazis wanished without a trace/ But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race /The history books talk of their defeat in 45/ So why’d they all come out of the woodwork on the day the nazi died?

Nerds smell like someone else’ wet dog. Punks smell like your wet dog.

There’s different types of stink and some are better than others and I’m pretty sure this is based on my own prejudice and preference as well as olfactory association being pretty powerful, but punks stink ans are known to, so do nerds. However, punks have a good stink and nerds have a bad stink. I’ve been a crustie for like 15 years now and also have ran merch at nerd conventions and punks have more of a deep fryer thst had cooked too many spring rolls kinda smell combined with booze sweat and an overall mist of weed and cigarettes and its more of an outdoorsy musky smell that I find kinda nice but admittedly probably cause I associate it with my pals and fun times. I can identify most of my friends by smell. Nerds have more of a stagnant indoors moldy stank, and sort of a chemical smell with it, either a cover up body spray that makes it worse by adding a chemical sweetness to their sour aroma. They smell like a gym locker that hasn’t been opened in years with the hint of pool chroline wafting in. Nerds smell nauseating.

When were these socialist states supposed to wither away? Would these uhhhhh ‘autonomous territories’ (not a state somehow) be left alone by the rest of the world except to provide them with beneficial and fair trade? The capitalist world they would presumably have had to do a domestic revolt against to make their 'Consensus Based Free Occupation Zone (not a state btw). After they do an anarchism there it will exist perpetually and self sustaining in a global vacuum until the rest of the world does a critical mass. Fucking Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems would say that’s a risky fucking gamble. Cause it’s guaranteed to fail as a demonstrated fact. Consolidation or dispersal of power has been the constant ebb and flow of history and switching from one to the other has generally been how new phases of history form. Tribalism to consolidated slave empires to diffuse manorialism to consolidated mercantilisim to diffuse modern capitalism I don’t think it’s some woo predestination thing, it’s just how one status quo is replaced by another, one is the others weakness to be exploited and that do be the cycle. Communism at least anticipates it’s own diffusion and hopes for it.
