  • I don’t think it’s the reason here, but he’s not very liked by other actors with dwarfism/short persons. He’s basically worked hard for and succeeded in getting a monopoly in Hollywood for short person roles that is anything other than playing fantasy/sci-fi roles in full suits. I’ve seen interviews from several other actors with dwarfism who all strongly dislike him and this whole thing.

    And please tell me if any words I used here are not ok, my understanding right now without having the time at this very moment to look up and learn all the generally accepted terminology for short people and if there’s a better gender neutral word for actors/actresses, are the words I used. Last I checked, which was a few years ago, the words I chose were not bad, at least.







  • I keep seeing people say “this is AI” about images and video that are extremely obviously photoshops and other “manual” edits. And that’s fucking scary, IMO.
    How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI? It’s completely different. No AI image or video I’ve ever seen has looked like a bad photoshop, CGI etc. The way AI stuff looks has a different thing to it, even really bad AI. And I fucking hate AI of all kinds, just to be clear.




  • Most of the world runs on non-chain brand food places, both fast food and restaurants. Only in America is it almost exclusively chains like that. And no single (or a few) shop will have their own app etc. Yet another of countless extremely weird, bad and morally corrupt things that are specifically 'Murican.







  • They are absolutely not, you are either extremely dumb or have been living under a rock your whole life. It’s not even a “recent time should have made you realise it”, right wing politics have been objectively bad for way longer than anyone alive at the moment (I admit that I don’t know the full history of the left/right political climate, so I’m not gonna say that what the general idea of right wing politics is has always been bad, I realised I need to learn more about it and will do so).

    It’s literally right wing “we want to control people and hate anyone who is different” vs left wing “we just want everyone, independent on their gender, skin color, where they’re from, economical status etc. to be ok”. Current American Republicans vs Democrats is not even close to a good scale of “right vs left” and it’s not even a good scale and representation of historical American Republicans vs Democrats, it’s all so fucked.



  • You only say that because of how it is, not how it could be.
    Here in Sweden we have smaller busses that go outside the normal (which are pretty extensive themselves) areas that you call to book beforehand, they’re like vans with 10 seats that drive on demand to get you from where you are to the nearest mass transit point.

    Combining every city having good buss networks well outside the main cities with the above mentioned and a train network throughout the whole country means you can get pretty much anywhere via public transit. I’ve traveled from my city, Gothenburg, to a very remote area near a place called Arvidsjaur which is 1,200km north of here like that. Starting with trams to a sleeper train to a buss to those on demand busses, I think it took about 16 hours in total.


  • Reading your comment gave me whiplash from the cultural difference of James Bond and a trendy word with 12 year olds from 5 years ago. Every generation will have words that are popular and a few of those are fine, anyone using the word “fire” like you have is absolutely not one of those, especially now when you couldn’t even blame it on trying to be trendy. It was always an excruciatingly “I’m 9 years old and trying to sound cool” word and you should cringe qqt yourself for the rest of your life for not realising that.
