    This can't be real can it?

  • A lot of thought went into that haircut, friend-o.

    [The haircut] is wedgy, greasy, somehow old womany, and that, combined with Bardem's machismo, makes it unsettling. The actor himself is supposed to have reacted, "Oh no, now I won't get laid for the next two months," when he saw it.

    Now the man behind the cut has emerged. He is a Canadian hairdresser from New Brunswick called Paul LeBlanc who has previously styled hair on movies such as Star Wars and Casino, and who shared an Oscar with make-up artist Dick Smith for his work on Amadeus.

    Le Blanc says that his inspiration was from the crusades, "when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight."

  • "You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important." -Georges St-Pierre, mixed martial artist

  • One side of my family was all farmers. I don't know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.

  • their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

    Good lord... imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying "HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU" while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That's some cthulhu-level stuff, man.

  • Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind.

    So... when you analyze language, you can think of an utterance's semantics (what it means "at the dictionary level") and pragmatics (what it means in context.) For example, if you're having dinner, and someone asks "can you pass the salt?" in terms of semantics it's a question, but in terms of pragmatics it's generally a command or request for an action.

    Similarly, I'd say Batman's first utterance in terms of pragmatics is a request for permission, which is granted by Catwoman's first utterance.

  • Hey, sorry for asking this here... I used to access public instances through a URL like this: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=sTEm--FVNe0 and previously there'd be a long list of public instances, whereas now there are only 3-4. I assume this is due to Google's attacks. If you have a link available, can you direct me to a web page or discussion or something that explains exactly what's going on there? I'm interested in learning more about the technical details. Thanks.

  • Everett True understood masking in the early 1900s.

  • I found a couple examples from November 18, 1918. But comics syndication worked different back then, and it might have been a reprint:

    Edit: interesting Help Wanted ad on the second link: "U. S. Department of Labor U. S. Employment Service: JOIN THE INDUSTRIAL ARMY Be a patriotic worker, aid the government to build the $50,000,000 plant started at Nitro (near Charleston) , West Virginia. Laborers $4.40 per day. 10 hours' work 11 hours' pay. Double time on Sunday. Free railroad fare. Meals free en route. Room rent free and board at commissaries, cafeteria style at about $1.00 per day. Medical attention and amusements free."

    Oh yeah, see !truecomics@midwest.social for more of Everett True's doings.

  • TIL that only 1 song used in the film Singin' in the Rain was entirely new. All of the other songs, including Singin' in the Rain, had already been used in previous films in one form or another.
