13:13.53TechnobliteratorAlso, testicular cancer doesn't get nearly as much treatmnet or attention as breast cancer - though I'm not sure the statistics on which kills more people
13:13.56Technobliteratorbut it's bullshit basically
13:14.58HachimanYeah it's dum
13:15.11Liquid_InkA particularly notable Australian feminism came out and said transgender women aren't real women, which I think is pretty hypocritical considering her entire reaction to the patriarchy is the pretend to be a man and hope it doesn't notice.

13:23.22HachimanEh, as dumb as it sounds, there is "some" basis for the idea of the Patriarchy given that social gender inequality is still a thing in modern cultures, more in Asia than in Europe / America as far as I know though
13:24.02TechnobliteratorI would be inclined to agree that it exists in most middle Eastern cultures and some in Asia
13:24.27Technobliteratorbut in a Western society? No, I don't think there's anything systematic about the isolated cases of social gender inequality
13:25.03HachimanAye
13:25.56TechnobliteratorI think people try to claim it's systematic so they can justify their own whining

17:51.50Technobliteratorlmao
17:53.49HachimanI remember being into Immortal Technique for a while a couple of years back
17:54.02TechnobliteratorI like Kendrick for much the same reason I like Immortal Technique
17:54.10Technobliteratorthey talk about actual issues that matter

17:54.46HachimanAt least Lil Jon did it in a way that was actually entertaining hur
17:54.53Technobliteratorhahahaha
17:54.53Technobliteratoryeah
17:56.02TechnobliteratorI went through a phase where I used to check the top 40 every now and then if only to check what other people like these days
17:56.03TechnobliteratorI regret that phase
17:56.26XhoKeep calm and listen to prog
17:56.30HachimanI am guessing you did not like what you saw
17:56.39XhoCyrannian: Good start btw
17:56.48Cyranniandanke kindly
17:58.40TechnobliteratorWell, what I could gather from checking the top 40 was that people only really listen to breakup songs, Drake, hipster garbage indie bands, and boy bands
17:58.54TechnobliteratorThis is the one instance where being open minded was not fun
17:59.03Technobliteratoralso yeah good start on the Cognatus story
18:00.25HachimanI thought Drake was on your list of artists you liked/
18:01.56TechnobliteratorDrake is hit and miss
18:02.00Technobliteratorit's the misses that usually chart
18:02.30HachimanWell a majority of young people have an ear for shit music nowadays
18:03.26The_Randomness"Back in my day, we listened to x music"
18:03.33The_Randomness"And we liked it!"
18:03.52TechnobliteratorI grew up in the 2000s yet most of the music I like is 90s music
18:03.57Technobliteratoror Daft Punk
18:04.15HachimanI am not even talking about the generation gap, production behind modern music is lazy as fuck
18:04.29Technobliteratorhave you heard No Words by Hopsin?
18:04.53HachimanI haven't
18:04.55Technobliteratorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDf68ID-Pzk
18:05.00Technobliteratortakes the piss out of modern music
18:05.30The_RandomnessThere's something that I want to say about this entire conversation, but I can't think of the word for it.
18:05.43The_RandomnessIs there something inherently wrong with people enjoying "shit music?"
18:06.30TechnobliteratorWell, to me the only thing wrong with it is that it means more people end up buying shit music, and as such, more people make it, and we hear it on the radio more often
18:06.44HachimanThe damage is superficial really
18:06.46CyrannianWhatever floats your goat, that's what I say
18:06.53TechnobliteratorI don't really mind what anyone listens to as long as it isn't teen pop
18:07.01Technobliteratorif you're a fan of teen pop, you're wrong
18:07.04Technobliteratorotherwise it's ok
18:08.02HachimanThe thing that bothers me most about people who enjoy modern hip hop and pop music is that they are so content with being easy to please
18:08.24The_RandomnessNow that just reeks of snobbery.
18:08.49GhelaeI think you've found the word you were looking for, Random.
18:09.04Monet_2I'm tempted to suggest that MTV has had a hand in modern music.
18:09.05TechnobliteratorI wouldn't say he's wrong, it's not like modern music isn't lazily composed
18:09.06The_RandomnessThat wasn't the word I was looking for before
18:09.41The_RandomnessBut that is effectively what I was looking for
18:10.01Monet_2Pop and hip-hop was designed to be sold.
18:10.12Technobliteratoralso, Snoop Dogg takes the piss out of modern rap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0OdmRtuQew
18:11.23Monet_2So there's something of an "artificiality" to modern music.
18:11.24HachimanOne of my prime examples is that Iggy Azalea's "Fancy", it consists of the same four repetitive chords a majority of the way through
18:11.52Technobliteratorugggggggggggh
18:11.56TechnobliteratorI hate Iggy Azalea
18:12.14Xho"it consists of the same four repetitive chords a majority of the way through"
18:12.23XhoMost songs since the 1950's have done that
18:12.26The_RandomnessEven though I personally cannot stand certain types of music, I take issue to the belief that somebody's taste in music may be "wrong" or inherently flawed in some way.
18:12.42HachimanTrue
18:13.20TechnobliteratorI was mostly exaggerating
18:13.24Technobliterator(which I tend to do a lot)
18:13.44HachimanI am not saying that certain types of music are "wrong", I am saying that the public tends to settle for stuff that is innately basic and not very complex at all
18:13.57HachimanBecause it's probably easier to listen to
18:14.01The_RandomnessAnd is there anything wrong with that?
18:14.06dino82_stunning and very beautiful sung for such young children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeUJ4Y-XOeY
18:14.27TechnobliteratorThere is when lots of people have to listen to it as a result of that
18:14.28Technobliterator: |
18:14.34The_RandomnessAnd why is that?
18:14.51dino82_lol
18:16.07HachimanBecause you cannot pull the same shit with other forms of media, like video games
18:16.12Monet_2It's starting to sound like modern music is a kind of "fast food" music.
18:18.19Monet_2One possibility is that aside from a few exceptions, the true crap of the last decades has dissapeard.
18:18.33HachimanThe music industry is probably the only industry that gets praise and profit for being lazy
18:19.04Monet_2I dunno TV has its moments.
18:19.18HachimanThe game and film / television industry gets profit for it sure but certainly not praise
18:20.43The_RandomnessAlright, that's better, but I still remain unconvinced that this "bad/modern music" is anything but stuff that doesn't match your tastes and you've found (good) reasons to dislike it beyond that.
18:21.46HachimanWell it's not just modern music that is bad, there are plenty of past examples from the 90s / 80s / 70s / 60s / etc of bad music
18:21.57The_Randomnessyeah, but you get what I mean
18:22.09The_RandomnessTypically it seems to be put in the context of "music these days"
18:22.24The_RandomnessThat's why I included that, although I maybe shouldn't have
18:23.51Monet_2Random has a point: There are a number of examples where utter crap has become lionised by later generations
18:24.46HachimanExample A including Beatles I presume
18:24.55HachimanWell, no, Beatles were popular for their time as well
18:26.22Monet_2Well I had films on my mind. But I presume music isn't immune
18:26.51HachimanYeah films are a more common example
18:27.44Monet_2Films like Metropolis, Citizen Kane and Blade Runner, classics of cinema, weren't exactly as massive when they were released as they are now.
18:28.06HachimanThe Thing as well
18:28.50HachimanAlongside Fight Club, which only became notable following its DVD release
18:29.03HachimanAnd Fight Club is one of my favourite films hur
18:29.10HachimanAnd The Thing, too
18:29.21Monet_2All it seems to take is a cult following.
18:30.06HachimanI do wonder now, what mindset people held back in the days of the release of those films which made them consider them in a negative way
18:30.26HachimanMinus problems with the costs of advertisement and such
18:31.38Monet_2Actually I think Star Wars was another example.

18:32.10WormydroidHi
18:32.15The_RandomnessHello
18:32.55Monet_2Dunno about Citizen Kane. Blade Runner was thought to put special effects over story and Metropolis became somewhat popular with the Nazis.

18:33.29Monet_2Fritz Lang, Metropolis' director completely disowned it by the 1930s.
18:37.46Monet_2Star Wars was definitely one of the first films to popularise the idea of merchandising.
18:38.15HachimanI am personally the type of person who admits who will not hold something I like on such a high pedestal that I see it as flawless
18:38.30HachimanFuck lemme restructure that sentence, I butchered it
18:39.24HachimanI am personally the type of person who will admit to when something I like and enjoy is bad or has elements that are bad by comparison to other available media and will not hold it on such a high pedestal that I will see it as utterly flawless
18:39.38HachimanBut I will still enjoy it nonetheless because it's what I enjoy
18:41.49HachimanA lot of the people I know will not admit to when a certain piece of music is basic in its composition when it is because they take it as an attack
18:43.10HachimanAnd just to calrify, there's nothing wrong with having basic composition
18:43.40HachimanOr at least, inherently wrong
18:43.46Monet_2Having extra is nice.
18:46.22WormydroidI am quite fond on B movies
18:47.01WormydroidEspecially those that are "so bad they're good"
18:47.10ImperiosMonet_2: Metropolis's failure was mostly because of the critics
18:47.37ImperiosThey claimed it demonised industrialisation
18:48.44Monet_2I also saw a few communist overtones.
18:49.34Monet_2Probably didn't help that the October Revolution occured 10 years earlier.
18:51.39Monet_2Although Fritz's disassociation was in part to do with his wife (who he co-wrote it with) becoming a Nazi.

18:57.44Monet_2OKay I've found out how things went bad for Citizen Kane
18:59.22WormydroidGlarc
18:59.57Monet_2At the time there was a *huge* fiasco that it was suspected that the film was based on the rise of WIlliam Randolph Hurst - a 1930s Rupert Murdoch - so he went out of his way to destroy the film's publicity campaign.
19:01.36Monet_2At the time Hearst (my bad with the last post's spelling) was the largest newspaper tycoon in the United States.
19:02.10HachimanHuh, I suppose that makes sense
19:03.11ImperiosNow this makes me wonder which movies of today will be remembered a few generations after us
19:03.41ImperiosOur grandchildren would probably laugh at the Marvel movies
19:03.51HachimanPeople have already stopped speaking about Avatar
19:04.00HachimanAs in, the James Cameron movie
19:04.13Monet_2I think the Marvel Movies will be remembered.
19:04.55HachimanOnly because they're Marvel
19:05.03HachimanAnd also probably because they're good movies, maybe
19:05.14Monet_2TI don't think so.
19:05.16Monet_2But the latterp ertly
19:05.48Monet_2The MCU movies were the first superhero movies in years that have been highly praised.
19:07.09ImperiosThing is sensibilities change
19:07.20ImperiosBurton's Batman was praised in its age
19:07.23ImperiosBut look at it now
19:07.27ImperiosWe just don't buy a fancy clown
19:07.58HachimanExcept everyone loves Heath Ledger's Joker
19:08.04Monet_2Not only that, the MCU made us realise that superhero teamup movies could be *good*.
19:08.51Monet_2Heath Ledger's Joker is possibly more grounded.
19:08.58ImperiosExactly
19:09.08ImperiosI am referring to Jack Nicholson
19:09.13Hachiman"I'M LIKE A DOG WHO CHASES CARS"
19:09.22Monet_2Sure he's a clown, but he's a clown in a tux.
19:09.39ImperiosWe don't want fancy clowns with camp plans, we want dogs who chase cars
19:09.44ImperiosGuys of simple tastes
19:09.47ImperiosAgents of chaos
19:10.01Monet_2Okay not quite a tux.
19:10.03HachimanKAYOSS
19:10.43Monet_2Still her the purple coat but Jack Nicholson's Joker wore *this* http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/3/3e/Jack_Nicholson_As_The_Joker.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140104145327 as a waistcoat and shirt.
19:11.25ImperiosBut yeah Avatar is now pretty much forgotten
19:11.28XhoSo we went from music industry to the Joker
19:11.28Xhohao dis
19:11.41ImperiosI remember seeing people who claimed it was some revelation
19:11.56ImperiosI hated them and said their movie was pretty much mediocre
19:12.02ImperiosAnd look where they are now
19:12.04Monet_2Well look what it did for 3D.
19:12.55Monet_23D as a technology, sure it's still somewhat polarised but I'm hearing less cases of nausea from seeing something in 3D.
19:13.38HachimanI honestly think, as attractive as a movie Avatar was, the modern Planet of the Apes is a better example as to how it should be used
19:13.43HachimanAnd maybe The Hobbit
19:14.34Monet_2Avatar tried though
19:15.01HachimanAvatar suffered from a cliche, mediocre story
19:16.07HachimanAvatar effectively suffers a similar problem to the Transformers franchise, except that Bay knows his movies' plots are awful thus makes up for it by making them the visually most spectacular films on the market
19:16.36ImperiosCameron wanted to tap to the geek community by his world-building
19:17.15HachimanHis worldbuilding is eh
19:17.51XhoI think Cameron is overrated slightly
19:18.08ImperiosExactly
19:18.12HachimanI do like Cameron's films, but yeah, he gets more praise than he really deserves
19:18.19MonetAvatar got nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. It didn't win (science fiction rarely does for Best Picture) but it did win Best VFX and Best Cinematography.
19:18.21TechnobliteratorI think anyone who directed the Titanic is a terrible filmmaker
19:18.40HachimanBut Terminator and Aliens
19:19.00ImperiosHe tried to make a movie that'd attract both the geeky crowd and the average filmgoer but failed at that
19:19.14TechnobliteratorI'll let him slide for that
19:19.44HachimanGeeks probably laughed at how unbelievable his "alien" world was and the average filmgoer probably thought the story wasn't worth their ticket
19:20.18MonetI think while Avatar sucked, it did open the floodgates.
19:20.49HachimanJurassic Park did a better job
19:21.14MonetI mean at promoting 3D cinema.
19:21.26HachimanAnd Jurassic Park still did a better job hur
19:21.54HachimanLike, there is a reason why the original Jurassic Park is still spoken about and Avatar is not
19:22.21MonetThe number of films that came out in 3D between 2009 and 2013 *exploded* comapred to the number that come out between 2005 and 2009.
19:22.53HachimanI find that 3D is nothing but a gimmick really
19:23.22MonetThen again Up came out the same year and won Best Animation
19:23.22HachimanI honestly *hate* watching films in 3D
19:23.39HachimanI will always buy tickets for a regular screening rather than a 3D one
19:23.56MonetLike I said the technique is still rather polarising.
19:24.41MonetI watched The Martian in 3D last week, and the sense of depth I got in the opening scenes was pretty amazing.
19:25.34Monet3D is more than stuff flying at you; it's mimicing the way your eyes create a picture.
19:25.56HachimanExcept that a lot of movies that advertise 3D is more focused on throwing stuff at you hur
19:27.42MonetWell they need to prove they're using the tech somehow lol.
19:27.53GhelaeAs with many things, the most common usage of the technique is probably to do something simple and showy like that. It can still be done well, however.

19:31.09MonetThere are figures in the film industry admitting that perhaps some of the issue is too much exploitation of the technology.
19:32.44Monet"What happened to 3-D? It may have died from a case of acute septicemia — too much crap in the system." - http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2011/09/who_killed_3d.single.html
19:33.29GhelaeI would imagine that the panoramic views of Mars in The Martian were an example of 3D done well, but I only saw it in 2D.
19:34.18*** join/#sporewiki OfficerJackal (~OfficerJa@2601:6c0:4200:4835:74be:4130:92e1:ac83)
19:34.22MonetGhelae: They were in my opinion.
19:34.49MonetThe oipening panoramic shots were when I realised how 3D cinema can portray depth well.
19:35.09MonetBut it's like the old saying goes, if all goes well no one says anything. But when something goes wrong everyone points fingers.
19:40.31MonetReading this Slate article it seems another of its limitations is 2D is simply more practical to watch. You don't need glasses on and sometimes the effect of 3D can feel so subtle you start wondering if you really are watching a 3D movie.
19:40.53MonetWHich can feel like paying extra for no reason at all.

19:45.08MonetReminds me a little of Human Revolution's story tbh.
19:46.06MonetHugh Darrow created his first augmentations to help people. THen as the technology was refined and more and more large ocmpanies picked it up, they all went made with it.
19:46.22Monetwent mad*
19:46.55Monet10 years on and Hugh was seeing people with augmentations or implants for stuff he never imagined people wanting
19:47.47MonetLike CASIE which could fine-read human body language and disperse pheromones in order to coerce people towards your way of thinking.

19:54.24The_RandomnessInteresting
19:54.48MonetI just rememebred another correlation
19:55.36MonetBy the 2020s there was a mentality emerging where augmentations were must-haves, that you could be disadvantaged if you didn't buy X comapny's latest implants.
19:56.13MonetDuring the 201Xs, screenings of films like Dredd were difficult to find in 2D.
19:56.37MonetForcing some cinemagoers to have ot sit through a film with a technology they didn't care about.
