I think when there’s implicit consensus on a topic, it disempowers people who disagree from speaking out openly. Anytime someone speaks out, there’s always a chance that anyone sitting on the fence would agree with them. I think that while rainbow washing was a flimsy shield, it was still a shield against bigotry because of the implied consensus of support and the disempowering of bigots from speaking out and potentially swaying anyone still on the fence.

I really wish games would look at the most up to date save and if it happened less than, say, 1-2 minutes ago then don’t show this warning.
I have actually seen a few modern games that have done that, which is a nice feature.
1·1 month agoYeah… I think “anti pervert glasses” is a stretch for normal glasses. If anything, it makes you accidentally look like a pervert using pervert glasses to spy on people.
331·1 month agoI get why people are critical of rainbow washing but when the fake support disappeared after Trump was elected it was really scary to see how fragile the movement is. So personally, I’ll take someone trying and failing at representation over nothing.
Add another panel where they’re making out
Oops, you’re right! That’s what I meant to say but I got mixed up
Right, CMY for ink, RGB for light though.
this image is pretty helpful. With light you’re starting with white (the center of the left diagram) and subtracting colours to get your ideal colour. With ink, you’re adding colour to get your ideal colour, and adding all of your colours will get you to black.
I have a necklace that at first glance looks a bit like a cross, but it’s actually Eowyn’s sword from the Lord of the Rings.
“I am no man!” stabs in the face
High heels were originally created for horse riding because they would help you keep a good grip on the stirrups.
The important thing is that the high albedo material has to convert incoming light into a particular wavelength of infrared light that is not absorbed by the atmosphere and so it flies straight out into space. If it’s just white (high albedo) but doesn’t convert light into the right wavelengths of infrared light, then yes, it will warm the surrounding areas because a lot of the light it’s reflecting will get reflected off the atmosphere back down somewhere else.
Wikipedia has a thorough article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling
Here’s a video by a channel called NighthawkInLight: https://youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI?t=78

lol right, I totally forgot to explain that barbers often did surgery and dentistry.
That’s also where the concept of a “barbershop quartet” came from. Dentists would have the aforementioned quartet singing loudly outside of their shop to drown out the screaming of patients inside.
Sure, it’s totally fine to not like them. My point wasn’t whether jump scares are good or bad, but just to explain why they’re used in basically every horror movie ever. They’re a good tool to help ease less experienced horror fans into the movie who would otherwise walk out or turn it off once the tension got to be too much for them.
is Trapper at his thiccest imo
Jump scares aren’t really meant to scare you, they’re there to relieve tension. If a jump scare feels forced to you, then you weren’t very engrossed in the movie, or it was put in a bad spot – but if you’re really on the edge of your seat and then a jump scare gets you, you’ll relax afterward so the tension can start to mount all over again without feeling too oppressive.
If jump scares aren’t doing that for you, then you’ve probably watched enough horror movies that you’re slightly desensitized to it, but the director has to think of every movie goer when making a movie, and bringing new viewers keep the genre alive.
To use the comedy analogy from OP, it’s more like a long winded joke that keeps going and going and building and building, and then suddenly PUNCH LINE! and you’re laughing. Except the long winded joke is the tension building, and the jump scare is the punch line.
Let’s see if I can guess everyone here, from left to right, top to bottom:
- the guy from the TV show The Bear
- Eddie from Stranger Things season 4
- Legolas from I’m gonna guess that still is from Return of the King
- Jack Black from School of Rock
- Markiplier?
- Geralt from The Witcher TV Show
- Pedro Pascal’s character from The Last of Us, I think his name was Joel?
I was just talking about this recently. There are of course some women who like muscle men or assholes, but most women are attracted to men who make them feel safe and/or make them laugh. If it is about looks, they’re probably just looking for a slender/chubby guy who has a caring/funny/brooding kind of look about them.
Also! Looks can change as you get to know someone. A person who was initially hot as hell can become revolting if their personality sucks, and vice versa, someone that didn’t really stand out to you could become literally the hottest person in the universe if their personality rocks!
Middle top is Eddie from Stranger Things season 4
