    Acting is overrated IMO. So many "good actors" have bad performances. If they were truly "good actors", that wouldn't make much sense. I think the truth is that the skill of the writers/directors/editors is far more important at portraying the actor. The skill in acting probably includes lots of stuff that doesn't make it on screen. For example, repetition of scenes. Actors can spend hours doing the same scene over and over with slight variations if any. No actor can overcome a bad director. There's a reason that "good actors" like DiCaprio have a knack for picking films by good directors.

    Another thing to consider is that the whole Batman vs Superman thing is F.U.C.K.I.N.G. S.T.U.P.I.D. I couldn't think up a worse idea if I tried.

    Superman: "Oh hey Batman, I see you put your dukes up. Now don't forget to try to move as I punch faster than a fucking bullet and shatter your skull." /roll credits

    The worst Ben Affleck has ever been is a million times better than the dreck of an idea that is Batman vs Superman

Even in the moment he's near the kryptonite, the physics do the rest and Batman disintegrates.

    Batman only wins if Superman has no idea WTF is going on. Comic writers love making up whatever retarded bullshit they can to make it seem like a dude who can bench press several hundred pounds is a match for a guy that can pulverize buildings in nanoseconds. This shit should be at least marginally believable. Batman should never exist in the same universe as Superman. It's harder for me to crush an ant beneath my shoe than it would be for Superman to kill Batman

    But superman is crippled by morals and being good, where as batman isn't quite so much.

    But anyway, why would there ever be a batman vs superman? Surely a) they would be on the same side, ie fighting evil and stuff, and b) superman would make batman redundant.

    But really, superman ruins everything. He's too overpowered to the point that if he actually used his powers to their fullest extent he'd just win everything instantly and there would be no drama. SO they have to make him a fucking idiotic douche who's incapable of making optimal decisions most of the time to even things out.

    Should be changed to Superman throwing something at Batman. Because some mouthbreather may point out that Superman could disintegrate as well if he was weakened by kryptonite. Still doesn't matter. This shit was written by people who think eyeglasses are a disguise

    Apparently the DC universe likes having uncreative, overpowered abilities. The characters work really well for drama, like how Batman is the real person and Bruce Wayne is the mask, while the alien Clark Kent is the real person and Superman is the mask. It's pretty good stuff. But it's lame as shit for anything that isn't some kind of metaphor for the human condition.

    I think chronicle is the only movie that comes close to dealing with super powers realistically.

    Superman is supposed to be about his emotional conflict. His unmatched powers are supposed to make his internal conflict more powerful. Think: if you have the power to do anything, then what brings you meaning? Batman vs Superman completely neglects what the characters are really about just so dweebs can get their rocks off on ludicrous soap operas for men.

    Mind control is completely different. It means he can't change the will of an individual, therefore he can find meaning in relationships. Which means his search for meaning is a bit pathetic.

    Totally agree. Even as far back as I can remember when I was a little kid I never saw the point in such a comparison.

    Also I'm probably the only one but I'm not averse to Affleck for the role. I can totally understand why others don't like him I see it too but I still respect him because of the self-made way him and Mat Damon created their own career with Good Will Hunting instead of just being casted for a role and boom blowing up.

    That's the point. He's not human but he finds meaning in being human. Whatever he wants, he can take, except for love. But he doesn't want to take things, he wants love. Thus his powers are worthless to him. He doesn't want to be Superman, he wants to be Clark Kent

    Contrast that to Batman, who doesn't want to be Bruce Wayne. He wants to be a super being so he can take away the pain humanity has caused him. He wants to be The Bat.

    They're both fantastic dramas. It's a shame they get overly written as actions. Superman, for example, should never actually struggle with his opponents' powers because he should be able to defeat them in a matter of seconds if he so chooses. It's because of his godlike power that his internal struggle is one of a kind

    The reason for kryptonite being introduced was because Superman was so ridiculous OP. It slowly became more and more available and eventually it got to the point where it was fucking everywhere in the comics. Then they did something to reduce it.

    With some females it seems like they are. I'm not usually a crying type of person, unless I'm really pissed or super duper sad.

    I watched an episode of Duck Dynasty a couple days ago - and cried. I have no idea why. Last night I was watching a video on youtube of Koko the gorilla and cried. Today - Lilo and Stitch, and waterworks.

    I'm also able to hear a baby that is within 100 feet if it barely whimpers. In a crowded restaurant. This happened last night when out with boyfriend, his bro, and mother for her birthday. The waiter was talking, and it was loud, but I was still able to hear and spot out the baby. The fuck.

    Not everything is random. Quantum Mechanics tells us that many physical properties of a particle are described by probability waves. This tends to support your view. However, there are many examples of non-random physical properties of particles as well.

    It is true that the nature of the universe is founded on a certain amount of randomness, but that's not the whole story.

    If you want to go to the absolute core, even beyond quantum mechanics which is just a temporary explanation we are using because we can't fully represent the inner workings of the physical world in a elegant Occam manner yet, then nothing is random. Hah read that sentence again.

    The only sense in which that could be true is to say,
    "The formation and evolution of probability waves is deterministic."
    In other words, "The uncertainty happens and changes in a certain way."

    Quantum Mechanics can be said to be temporary only by the most naive understanding of QM, or the most broad usage of the word temporary. I absolutely acknowledge that QM is incomplete. I absolutely acknowledge that there are more unanswered questions in physics than answered ones. However, what QM has predicted and explained is more robust than any other theory in human history. Furthermore, it has been the most challenged theory and by some incredibly capable and brilliant people.

    The fact that many physical properties are described by probability distributions is the most well tested idea in history. Even if there is someday discovered to be an underlying mechanism which gives rise to the probability waves, the fact remains that the probability waves ARE the things which describe the universe.

    It's absolutely not a matter of gathering more data to find the non-probabalistic mechanism which makes all the unsavory probability waves go away. The fact that nature is a collection of probability waves is the single most uncomfortable thing for a physicist to accept, and many brilliant people have tried to disprove it for about 100 years. The more and more we try to disprove it, the more and more we show that it is accurate.

    This makes no sense unless you are saying that all human actions, no matter how intentional, are random.

    I don't feel like the ordering of letters in this post to form words into sentences which convey my thoughts is a random thing. So by that measure, I disagree with you, but not as a physicist. As a physicist, I can't think of any way to test whether my perception of choice is a fundamental reality or a flaw in my own perception.

    Fun Fact:
    Did you know that the Big Bang Theory was initially described by a Roman Catholic priest?

    "In 1927, Georges Lemaître, a Belgian physicist and Roman Catholic priest, proposed that the inferred recession of the nebulae was due to the expansion of the Universe.

    In 1931 Lemaître went further and suggested that the evident expansion of the universe, if projected back in time, meant that the further in the past the smaller the universe was, until at some finite time in the past all the mass of the Universe was concentrated into a single point, a "primeval atom" where and when the fabric of time and space came into existence."

    That's awesome if those are actual pictures from the performance. I think the big deal is she was trying to be hot and wasn't offending people because they're too uptight, she was offending people because she missed the mark huge.

    I was joking in ways.

    Also - his feelings are now hurt. Actually didn't know that about the priest bit, really wish a lot of the ignorant fools that call themselves priests would widen their views on things. Like, the whole "Earth was made 6000 years ago." shit. There are people that whole-heartedly believe that, and it makes me sad. Real sad.

    On the whole VMA shit - who gives a rat ass. Maybe the problem is that people are so wrapped up in dumb shit pop singers and are dumbed down. I admit I like some pop music, but I'm not going to go around throwing stones. Their job is there to sell themselves - and apparently the bitch is getting attention which in turn is going to sell some shit, so bam. I'm not a fan of her hairstyle, but fuck, I have lavender, purple, pink, and teal hair, so who the fuck am I to say anything? I saw some shit on FB about how her Mom and Dad should be neutered and spayed, and I'm thinking, " The fuck. So it's her parents fault for how she's acting as an adult? ". Then there's the people that are saying that they had their kid in the room and that their kid "had" to see that. So obviously they couldn't turn the channel. I'll never truly understand some people, especially people that get so fucking offended over something that someone does that doesn't have any actual impact on their life, besides them talking about something someone else did that didn't hurt them, or anyone else.

    Damn.

    Also - I started on a new painting a few days ago, it's pretty big.

    haha thanks? i guess our blurry backsides are pretty fine. but the picture is nicer for the scene, ya know? i just like that picture in particular with us holding each other because she's my cousin/best friend and i think it's sweet.

    there were supposed to be the most stars in the sky that night. here's another picture of the night sky (sans female bodies) from the village i'm from, which is at the highest point in the island... less lights = more stars (duh):

    edit: changing the pic bc this one is better

    You look better from behind, you look better from behind, grown and sexy"


    "Had to tell you, that I'm really feeling your style
    Saw you walking by, and couldn't let you pass
    Gotta tell ya, that I'm really feeling your smile
    But even better, is the beauty of your ass
    Staring right, into the beauty of your profile
    There's something, that I gotta ask
    Can you let me, let me
    Let me, view your beauty from the back"
    no church in the wild man. no church in the wild.

    On a scale of 1-10 how likely are you ever to sleep with ChipEaterMan? It just seems nasty not to crush his dreams straight away.

    Welp, didn't look close enough at the picture of the fae ear cuffs/wraps - so I've got to start completely fresh. Thankfully I have small ears, and didn't use much wire.

    Woo small ears!
