It's a catchy name and it was among the first examples of the effect in the internet era that amplified the effect many fold. There is no reason for me to know about Streisand's house and there is no reason for me to know about this painting. I have only know about them because the internet exists.

When he says camera trickery he means that he doesn't edit anything. when I say camera trickery I mean that the camera must be at a certain angle for the trick to work. If he has a mirror for example and the camera moves a step to the right, the mirror is suddenly not aligned properly to my field of view and the illusion doesn't work.

The hobbits in Lord of the Rings is an excellent example. Nothing is edited in the shots but it relies on a very specific focal length in the camera and carefully planned forced perspective. It's impressive and a technical feat but it not "magic" like card tricks are magic.

I never understood those. It's always camera trickery and mirrors. At least with the stage performances there are real people in the room with a full field of vision.

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.

Yes, It would be less mental because I am suggesting that the person doesn't necessarily mean it literally. You see sometime people say things that isn't true for dramatic effect.

You dont think there might be some hyperbole in that claim?

The pieces of corn in the pile of shit is technically still food but we flush it all the same.

If we treat rape as a general problem in prisons we will solve the trans women problem as a side effect because will have made the prison a safer space for everyone. Singling out trans women rapes as a unique and unnatural problem is just bigotry and we don't accept bigoted framings of other societal problems.

On the sexual assault thing. There are more cases of prison guards sexually assaulting and raping prisoners than there are trans people. There are more cases of female prisoners assaulting other female prisoners than trans women assaulting female prisoners. The regularity of rape in mens prisons are so laughably common that its become a cultural cornerstone.

Trans women might rape other women in jail, yes. Rape is a problem, but if you definitely want to ensure that rape will occur you put the trans women in mens prisons.

JK Rowling and the TERF Brigade does not care about rape in prisons. They care about trans women and want them to be raped or murdered in mens prisons. Pretending that they want anything else is dishonest.

So did we ever find out if Biden can use seal team six to kill political opponents?

So chatGPT is basically going with the interpretation that healthy and woke is the same thing when it comes to food. That feels about right.
