A few different film techniques.

they could film the actor in different costumes on the same set without moving the camera, and then they put those performances together.

so you can have the profile of Austin powers on the left talking to the profile of Dr. evil on the right, and those were separate performances pasted together so it looks like they’re responding to each other even though Mike Myers was performing those conversations separately during different recordings.

If evil and Austin are in the same shot and it’s an over-the-shoulder, the actor facing the camera is the real actor and the guy not facing the camera is a body double with the same hair or bald mask

so if you were looking at Austin and Dr. evil in the same shot, either those are two separate performances put together and you’ll see that they never touch each other, or if they do touch each other, you’ll notice that you never see the frontal face of one of the actors, which is actually a body double.

and you can see these two techniques and others used in Eddie Murphy’s movies, or pretty much any body double move movie.

i only date propublicans.

congratulations, that’s good news.

hark! the feline, angels sing, glory tooo the kitty king

get a rice cooker.

One button. super safe. easy to clean.

there are recipe books about how to use a rice cooker to cook all sorts of stuff (rice, curries, hot pot, soups, pasta, steamed anything)

with that same one button.

after you get comfortable heating up food so that you can eat it, you can try a pan or a Crock-Pot, whatever strikes your fancy.

definitely absolutely certainly.

“…over your head”

Don’t get too worked up, folks can’t help but understand you.

the salient characteristic of your comments is their simple-mindedness.

200 million examples of free speech, according to the Supreme Court.

I don’t hang out with a lot of 13-year-olds.

I guess it’s good you’re learning something from them.

is your relationship with them appropriate?

I’m sure the room is real, but that is not the average.

That is a very nice Swedish dining room.

I’m curious, since the federation seems a lot more geographically decentralized then reddit did.

is there any information on the User-Base by nationality?

some of us were wondering on another thread since there are so many communities in different languages, but I can’t find any way to tell the ballpark nationality percentages of the users here.

cool. i always like digging through the huge pillow cushion area they have at thrift stores.

I have a lot of pillows.

you also mention that we don’t know the extent of the voter fraud that occurred, that there certainly was voter fraud, that exaggerated claims of voter fraud are not widespread.

and then the conclusion is to be careful of “conspiracies”.

that doesn’t track.

1. we’re not sure how much of the rainforest corporations have destroyed.

2. We know that corporations have certainly destroyed large parts of the rainforest.

3. therefore, if you hear people talking about corporations destroying too much rainforest, it might develop into a dangerous conspiracy, so report it for disinformation?

no.

voter suppression is and has been a real and significant problem, people should be aware of it. reporting hyperbolic disinformation should be a supportive paragraph to this point, not the conclusion or title, especially when violent calls to action are not a problem on the democratic side…

as you say, hyperbolic claims only manifest sporadically on a couple message boards.

that is not the same as an entire political party simultaneously claiming that their election was stolen and then violently attacking the capitol and the two should not be correlated.

I liked using my standing desk in my home office. so much that I eventually got one for the office.

I got a lot of compliments and interested short conversations, but notably only one other person transitioned to a standing desk.

I’ll say that some chairs are more comfortable than others, but a standing desk is finally what felt the most comfortable for me.

“check to see if the information is accurate” is better advice.

All the way back to bush, conservatives were ramping up removing voting machines from minority and blue districts, purging voter registrations, challenging cosmetic scuffs on ballots, and they did the same thing this election.

votes being attacked and blocked definitely happened, and thousands of votes were blocked in most states that were perfectly legal, but it doesn’t stop conservatives from challenging their validity.

it doesn’t have to be labeled a “conspiracy” if it is a fact.

conservatives can’t win purely on numbers anymore, so they focus on dividing and disqualifying democratic voters.

yeah, I’ve been listening to drum and bass since posting this, and I definitely hear the similarities, especially with the classic drum and bass another comment or posted.

yeah, at least that dude cared.

yeah, I definitely got heavy aphex twin Vibes also.

I didn’t know he collaborated with reznor, but of course he did.

very cool, thanks for the information.
