  • I will always remember the Mauler’s review of the Snyder cut. And how people keep praising the Snyder cut, even though it was actually worse.

    That made me thinking that people forget what they were watching when movies get too long. And that perhaps that’s why even shows get such long episodes - Stranger things last episode of season 4: TWO hours twenty minutes??

    It’s just useless shit for the sake of being there, while adding nothing important. And I hate that people respond positively to watering down the media even more.


  • Fascists do not only lie tactically, to “con” enemies or the masses. According to Finchelstein, fascists also lie as a matter of epistemological principle, since they view the truth as something created and enforced by violence, not as something to be discovered. Paradoxically, then, fascists’ lying has an element of honesty: a sincere and genuine rejection of the idea that their beliefs could ever be rationally proven or disproven, since they believe their beliefs are simply intuitively known to the select few destined for power, or conveyed by the leader or movement to the followers. However, as Finchelstein points out, and as Kahn-Harris’s and Leeb’s work help illuminate, fascists also lie for disingenuous, psychological reasons—that is, fascists lie as a mechanism of denial, to protect their consciences from awareness of what they are doing and to hide from “unspeakable truths” about themselves.

    • clang
    • llvm*
    • libreoffice
    • firefox

    absolutely the worst packages to build on Gentoo.

    I give 0 fucks about clang and llvm, maybe I should switch those to bins, but then how will I know what is inside, when I can’t check the source code even now?
