And who is to say what a film looks like? Why should anything have "film grain"? Why is 24hz a standard? Why is letterboxing a thing? These are all tools, the public can't "forget what a film looks like" because i

If nothing else, there is one good thing of Elon's acquisition of Twitter, and it's that it has made the case for making social media outlets responsible for their content evidently clear. For better or worse, when management chan

Ok. Say the war between Russia and Ukraine ends. Regardless of who wins, does that country now have to cherish and celebrate the men for what they did? Do we look at human progress overall as "something done by men"? Because the

Gaza suffering is the best thing for Hamas. Israel is doing the best possible thing for Hamas and that's why Israel should stop. Because worse than unjustified, their actions are stupid, unless you are a politician saving face. Pray te

You can force a student to be in class, you can't force them to care about class. Forced attendance would work if students cared for their education but their parents didn't. That's just not the case, even if students don&#x2
