I know it's the cool goon thing to pretend not to know anything about popular culture, but calling Liam Gallagher a "cockney-rear end nobody" is kinda reaching.

I'd never heard of or seen the guy. Had to google him. I've heard of Oasis, but didn't know his name because Oasis loving blows. I can't name any members of Cold Play either.

Wasn't the Boston tea party just a bunch of rich tea smugglers who got angry because the Brits were lowering the tax on tea and so biting into their profits?

Yeah I know there was that paper tax too but that had been repelled at that point.

It was about the East India Company being exempted from taxes on tea. It'd be like if the government randomly decided to subsidize Walmart.

Billie Eilish's music isn't really guitar-adjacent at all, so it's not that surprising that she hasn't encountered influential guitarists whose entire career was before she was born.

For a professional guitarist it'd be weird not to have heard of him since he was influential and popularized tapping as a technique, but she's a singer/writer and doesn't really use guitars at all. Like I'd also expect a professional guitarist to know who Robert Johnson was and he died in the 30s, but not be surprised if a drummed didn't know him.

This is the part I think a lot of folks aren't getting. Guitar rock as a genre is basically dead. It's stone cold, Jeffery Epstein dead as a pop genre. She might even know a song or two of theirs, but there's literally no reason to know the name unless she's, I dunno, dated a dad rock nerd or something.

I just watched bladerunner for the first time this year, and deckard totally rapes that replicant. He holds her down while she's screaming no, and it's viewed at the time as a love scene??
...

Bold part didn't happen, but yeah, it's pretty bad. I've seen an interview with the director where they confirm it was intentional. They started out trying to film a normal love scene but the chemistry wasn't there. They took a step back and thought about what to do and realized it worked better with the point of the movie if Deckard didn't really treat her as human.

I'm sure some people view it as a love scene for the same reason there are people who see movies like Full Metal Jacket and think "woah, badass": because they're morons.

I love the smug watch "connoisseurs" in the comments calling people 'broke' (as if they could afford it) and saying people "don't understand movement" and are uneducated. The original tweet doesn't cover any of that. They just say it looks cheap and nasty.

I bet it's awful at keeping time, too. A lot of expensive watches are, Rolexes included. An affordable self winding mechanical might be the cheapest way to get a watch you never have to gently caress with, idk, but that's about the only legitimate purpose they serve at this point.

What a waste of a bid sapphire.

Cheap quartz movements are literally ten times more accurate than even very nice mechanical movements.

The tourbillion was originally an attempt to improve that, but at this point they're just masturbation and a way to (dramatically) increase the price. Including one basically requires making some part of the case transparent for the same reason no one makes discrete supercars. This watch takes that to it's logical conclusion, then shits the bed harder than I thought possible. I'm honestly impressed.

So I'm old and stupid and not really good with phones. How do I make this work?

I got Google to show me the horse, but how do I get it to show up on my camera? (Samsung J3 running Android, if that helps).

I ask because I'm going to an art gallery tonight with a life sized sculpture of a horse, and can't resist the idea of getting a picture of that with a Google horse.

Google at the home screen, not in a browser. I have no idea if doing it in a browser works but I know doing it from from the home screen does. From there:

1


2


If one of those buttons isn't there, you're out of luck.

After you press the second one it will pop up the camera. Or it may ask for permission to launch the camera. You should say yes. If it doesn't ask but also doesn't work it may be you'd previously denied permission, in which case you'll have to Google how to reset it.
