The thing in the first picture is called a “hurt-worse” in some parts of Italy because one side hurts and the other is worse.

I see what you’re doing here

Sure go ahead and watch out for the payoff on that one

Also do keep Totoro at hand, you’re gonna need it.

I was an early adopter to Matecat but I stopped using it to be fair… what do you like so much about it? I’m using OmegaT and DeepL for MT atm

I don’t agree with neither of you but dude, you’re just being dense here. Politics is not a direction where the center is still and the two opposite sides are moving. It’s a matter of ideology and values: centrist values are moderate, try to reconcile capitalism with civil rights, a moderate economic policy where the state intervenes where it is deemed necessary and in general a centrist mediates between polar opposites (at least ideally). If you say centrism doesn’t exist you’re living in a pre-fall of the USSR world.

If anything, now everything is centrist, and what’s worse is that centrism is slowly being absorbed by right wing values (free market, family, public decency, right to defend oneself, more power to the military) whereas leftist ideals were left to rot in a basement for 30 years and now all leftists can babble about is SJW fodder.

I know you hear a lot of leftist propaganda but the whole world is moving the opposite direction. We need class struggle and we need to bring back the middle class.

You obviously know your way around technology, but you should be worried about the amount of people who are not tech-savvy and can only rely on what they’re offered. This is especially crucial now since a lot of citizen rights can be exercises over the internet, and sometimes that’s the only way to actually exercise them (Italy has several internet-only public services). So we shouldn’t be talking to a community of tech experts, we should promote easier ways to leave the monopoly and proselytize the layman about them.

EDIT: nah it doesn’t matter. Have a good one.

Man I love the fruitful discussion on this site.

From the balls, that’s where they’re stored

For the love of everything that’s good in Hollywood, it’s spelled CronenbErg. He’s the son of the other, more famous Cronenberg of The Fly, Existenz, Videodrome, etc. fame.

I feel like it’s important to point this out as Brandon’s aesthetic and themes are heavily lifted from his father’s work, although he is indeed exploring the relationship between technology and authority in a very interesting way.

I really enjoyed possessor for its style and themes although it wasn’t a very approachable movie for the larger audience. Infinity Pool was more approachable but I feel like it lacked focus.

Overall, I’m looking forward to what Brandon Cronenberg cooks up next!

Except you can

Cool 👍
