  • Yet you’re picking a fight over whether or not someone has formal qualifications…

  • No…? You’re just being incredibly aggressive over what is clearly a misunderstanding.

    Given this response though I imagine we have plenty to disagree over, unfortunately.

  • Again. We should not exist. Something is very wrong with our models.

    I get why you feel this way but that’s not really how stats works.

  • I am talking about Dr. Phil. I understand why that wasn’t clear but let’s maybe slow your roll a bit here.

    Peterson is just a bad person lol

  • It’s right there on his Wikipedia but ok. Admittedly it’s 17 years give or take so yeah technically not decades plural.

  • Not saying you’re wrong for noticing it - you are correct afterall! I just put less stock in proportions as a starting point because of “camera and editing tricks”

  • He actually hasn’t had a license for decades so he’s not qualified either lol

  • People keep saying that but you’d be surprised what people can do in photoshop and with the right lens/angle.

  • That's fair, the hand is a dead giveaway now that I look. But anyway my point largely stands I like to think lol guess I need to check hands more often sadly

  • Whenever this comes up I assume people have actually never done cosplay or haven't spent much time around cosplayers.

    Cosplayers spend 50% of conventions fixing their outfit. It never lasts the day. You can't be tinkering with outfits on an 8-12hr shoot day every single time the person takes too big of a step or walks up a flight of stairs.

    The woman on the right in this image is standing completely still in a "normal" pose for a still photo. Go have her do 6 days on a film set and let's see how that outfit turns out.

  • Day 3 and not a single post/comment about Musk, just you taking a needless jab at me because it's funny to you. This thread is dead except for you and me right now.

  • To people who do have concerns though, if you’re tech minded maybe look at contributing to a way of improving the functionality of Lemmy. It’s in our gift to improve this place so if we can do something about it then we should, rather than passively complain when things aren’t how we want them to be.

    This has literally nothing to do with whether or not relegating topics to megathreads is a good thing. In order to fix the issues with megathreads, we'd have to fundamentally change how these forums work, which no one is going to do and users aren't going to follow unless most, if not all, instances follow suit. It has to be baked into the platform. The entire cycle of content sites like reddit, lemmy, etc. depend on is antithetical to megathreads outside of extreme high profile events, such as a presidential election or (yet another) still ongoing school shooting or something.

  • People acting like having free time is a bad thing

    I can't speak for other nations, but the US has a puritanical hangover we just can't shake. Work - and only certain kinds of work - are directly tied to morality. The hour you wake up is tied to morality (we aren't farmers dammit let me sleep until 8 or 9am!)

    It's very difficult to make meaningful change to things that are intertwined with morality. You have to exert an enormous amount of effort disentangling them before you even get to work. Because you simply can't convince people to do a thing they inherently think is immoral, at least not nationwide.
