@psychictides Take Alex van Warmerdam's movies — if you just read the synopsis, you might find his stuff disturbing — and it is: some characters are always getting killed in a most ridiculous way, but what's going on is usually so absurd that you just sit and laugh like a madman: what the hell is going on here? 🤣 I've watched only 3-4 movies, but I might be a fan, really like his style.
Take Schneider vs. Bax for example, it's about serial killers — a scary premise, but it's actually funny.

@psychictides Von Trier is hit or miss for me — some of his movies I enjoy immensely, some I don't get. I've watched The Boss of It All without realizing it's Lars' movie, then one of my friends hints at that, just between the lines, and I'm like: "Are you for real?!"— I'd probably perceive it completely differently had I knew from the very beginning.
No, not to say anything, he's a great director of course and I've definitely seen weirder shit.

@Stoned_Deva_ Great album! They have my full support!

@psychictides I am yet to watch it. It was so hyped up when it was in the theaters that I refrained from watching it. I tend to expect the worst when this happens, I might not like the movie just because of that. Going in without prior expectations is always the best, so when I know about the movie beyond synopsis I usually postpone seeing it. Of course sometimes I have regrets that I didn't watch it in the cinema, no one's perfect.
Maybe now's the right time, thanks for reminding me of it.

@psychictides Oh, yes, I grew up in the 90-ies and I've always thought that it was me being teenager — that's why such scenes made me feel uncomfortable, but no — I re-watch these movies now and I take a lot of things easier, but not this.
Of course there are exceptions, American Beauty even has nudity scenes, but those feel "natural" somehow, maybe because the characters themselves are uncomfortable in these scenes 😄

@psychictides Mind you, I don't think that having sex is something to be ashamed of, but just watching it, when you're not part of it feels weird 😅

@psychictides Exactly! I'm used to seeing people hugging and kissing. At a party with friends and they might get cuddly, but if they want more, they usually get a room, and I'm not used to walking around and peeking into others' bedrooms. Even when it's a part of the plot the immersion subsides for me in a way — maybe I should walk outside and let them have the room? Unless it's a VERY important plot point, a hint at this is enough, but especially in 90-ies movies these scenes are often too long

@psychictides
People making love.
Like… why are they carrying on while I'm looking, are they into this sort of thing? Am I? 🤔

@neingeist I had to look at this picture at least three times to relize that it's not a goat. Makes sense 😆

At least it's beef, not some chicken 😅

@theorytoe Just don't touch the grass — you might get turned into a frog of some sort, maybe even a toad — it's Wednesday after all 🐸

@tin Same is true for Windows if yours is a corner case. I've had to literally remove all HDs but one from my Mac Pro to install Windows 8 — because you you can only install it to the first one. So, you have a hybrid MBR/GUID partition table and some partitions located beyond 2Gb in GUID part don't exist in MBR one (because it's impossible)? You know what — fuck you, you will never be able to use those. Win can be a chore, likewise installing Linux on well-supported HW is plain and simple.

@mia It might happen even in a thread totally unrelated to politics, religion or stuff like that, they do it even in a thread about computers or cats. It's either you play by all of their rules or you should cease to exist — and it makes taking their side unattractive, it's just wrong and off-putting.

@mia It's not about political views most of the time: I don't get views of a lot of people here, but I don't even try to change their mind — I know we're likely to hit a brick wall at a certain point and I'm too lazy to spend time on that — we can still have fun interacting on other topics, even when we touch a sensitive topic, it's a reasonable conversation most of the time. But there are people who are always looking for a way to pigeonhole you into some category of the people whom don't like🤷

@QueenOfCoffee Especially if you tell your doctor that using the word "toot" 😂

@dettlaff @ZySoua Только из-за этого выбрал «чирик» — хотя птиц я обычно не особо, даже в качестве еды 😹

@theorytoe I'm much more accomplished in Dungeon Keeper than I ever was in real life. The lair and torture chamber are bigger too 😈

@oku_yama_old Хорошо!
