I (18) feel like a ton of my transition aspirations are based in the idea of being femininely attractive, but I fear that I'll be an ugly to mid looking girl, when my dream is to have sexy feminine body and beautiful hair and a pretty face, but I feel like testosterone has done too much shit to my body that ill never be on par with the ladies I'm attracted to. I think my expectations were set too high by early transitions who started HRT in early high school or by cis women being used as bait in tg fictions. For me, I cant currently see transition as worth it unless I have a decent chance of being attractive, mostly cause I want to be a girly girl and wear dresses/skirts everyday, and such feminine clothes necessitate a feminine body.
I've been looking at transtimelines a lot and feel like most of the women there don't pass/meet my high standards, but I also know that the majority of them started HRT older than my current age, so idk.
I know transition isn't supposed to be about attractiveness, but I just cant shake my obsession with it. I want to be pretty for fucks sake! And that's legitimately the #1 thing in the world to me right now...
I simply cannot exist in this world as a girl who looks like a dude, I won't tolerate it! I'd rather just be a dude!
Is there hope for me? If I start HRT this summer (turning 19 in July), will I be able to meet my standards if I put in the work? Or is this just a pipe dream and I should just suck it up and continue to be jealous of pretty girls and their pretty clothes for all eternity, and maybe hook up with one some day if I'm lucky?

its late and I'm angry so this post is just a rant but whatever.
I have been trying to do a delve into ai, figure it out for myself, and I hate to say it but the main thing turning me against ai so far is that I have never seen the sheer scale of willfull artistic illiteracy present in ai spaces ANYWHERE else.
There are so many arguments I always thoughts were just strawmen, but people in ai spaces constantly say "no, the strawmen are real, I am the strawman, and I am right for this frankly hillarious take".
Every day since this started I have been filled with a primal urge to sit at least 5 people a day down and show them the breakfast club to get a basic entry level understanding of what human expression IS. The adult equivalent of children who say books aren't as good as jangling keys because books make them think.
I always wondered why so much ai art was bad, and I'm realizing it seems like its because 99.9999% of it is made by people who'se high standard of art is that its "pretty", that the colors are "nice" that it has a good "vibe". People whose entire experiance of art is glancing at something on their twitter thumbnail thinking "oh good its a videogame character I like" hitting like, and then scrolling on. People UNINTERESTED in the concepts of symbolism. People who frankly seem to think that any artistic goal besides entertainment is "pretension".
People who, frankly, don't seem interested in the human act of communicating what it feels like to be an individual through creation. people who don't seem to LIKE ART, but still feel the need to comment on what makes good art. People who think the only reason someone would make art is to have an image of something they thought of. The hypothetical people who don't just think transformers 4 was a fun movie, but think it was the peak of cinema. People who side with drake in his beef with kendrick. People who see art they don't get and don't even TRY to engage with it. I was expecting to find curious people wanting to explore the frontier of new artistic expression, and I have instead found the least curious human beings on earth.
Honestly I could write something helpful or insightful but I don't WANT to. LEARN ART HISTORY. FIGURE OUT WHY ABSTRACT AND CONCEPTUAL ART IS LIKE IT IS. YOUR ALLOWED TO NOT LIKE IT, BUT BY ALL THAT IS GOOD PLEASE AT LEAST TRY TO LEARN WHY OTHER PEOPLE DO INSTEAD OF ACTING ON YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION. PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE YOUR EXISTANCE IS DRIVING ME MAD.
I'm honestly more interested in the possibility of the value of ai as an artistic tool now, because I now realizing why so much of it is bad! Its because its made by people WHO DONT SEEM TO EVEN WANT TO USE IT. Its like judging a paintbrush by seeing the effect throwing it into an elphant seal enclosure has!!! If all everyone is asking for is "what if fast foods were states" THEN THATS WHY THATS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING.
WHY. WHY IS THIS SPACE LIKE THIS. I am honestly willing to engage with the tech, but every time I look I find the DUMBEST takes on EARTH.

It's okay for BINI's music to be listened to, it's okay that people admire the eight girls - but at this point, they should not be the standard of PPOP.

1. In principle, BINI (and BGYO) should not be part of the "PPOP Rise" to begin with. They are from a major network who often overshadows small artists who intended to bring new color and flavor to the industry. It is a straight up manipulation to claim BINI introduce PPOP to general public. The public already knew PPOP, it just took time for them to catch up - and the reason traces back on how mainstream media would portray PPOP as inferior to foreign music, or even to other OPM genres. "PPOP Rise" is a grassroot initiative, it should ultimately lift those groups that are from small/independent companies/management, rescue them from mismanagement, exploitation. Even if we consider how BINI brings visibility of PPOP to the mainstream channel, the manner and nature of visibility should still be interrogated (which are points 2 and 3). Otherwise, it will be just like K-POP/Hallyu that is so glorified, that people would not care about exploited individuals that the system caused (note that PH is not as rich as South Korea, exploitation will be much worse.)
2. BINI's brand of musicality is mediocrity. Their fans would conceal their music as "authentic OPM sound" when in reality, it is just formulaic, repetitive, typical, mediocre sound in the OPM industry. At best, their ppop-ness is a compromised version to appeal the general public - which is often a bad thing because it disincentivize people to look deeper (why should people look deeper, when it is already repackaged to suit their preference. Why give up the comfort of being adjusted to, to be the one adjusting, right?). Realize that a movement would not require everyone (not even majority of people) to subscribe to it, it just needs a level of tolerance and acceptance, that PPOP is not "bad" or "evil", that it should not be a subject of disgust, that it is a "valid" and "good" choice of music too. That the government (!!!) should support it too. Bottomline, the mediocre-sounding PPOP can at best water down the hate [-probably a strong word], but not necessarily facilitating genuine tolerance and acceptance. It offers an "acceptable" version, but leaves the "hated" still hated, or worse.
3. BINI's strategy is to get attention, and not necessarily to build a sustainable community. Their marketing strategy has always been to get attention first and foremost, whether it's negative or positive. The troll machinery often works for them (Side note: it's interesting how the group suddenly blew up when KathNiel broke up.), they would divert narratives whenever necessary, incite fan wars to make sure of the group's visibility to public. Good strategy? Yes. Respectable strategy? No. This cultivates a culture of music appreciation only on the surface level, gain followers that only bandwagon but never really understand the movement in principles. (ehem. "Kakampink" becoming a status symbol than a real social movement).

The PPOP movement is for individuals who were deprived of opportunities to be recognized because of how the elitist entertainment industry (a) gatekeeps, and (b) sets absurd standards to music appreciation. The PPOP movement should offer new sound and themes to its listeners (local or foreign). PPOP should be an extension of [and it should broaden] OPM music, and not mere derivative works. Lastly, in order for PPOP to "rise", it should establish a core community (regardless of its size) that will consistently advocate for fairness and development, not a community that concedes its inferiority to others or that boasts itself to be "best" without any principles.

We employed a builder to do a set scope of works within our kitchen. Since day 1 of being onsite he has been trying to charge us extra and eke as much out of us as he can.
We have clearly detailed what materials we are providing (a breakdown of all second fix items) and that he is to provide building materials. He has now said that these building materials don’t include lintels and door frames but he will include the pipes to the boiler as a ‘gesture of goodwill’.
We also had in the quote ‘making good and prime coat to kitchen and utility room’. He states that this doesn’t include the whole kitchen and utility room and keeps trying to charge extra for various making good works.
His latest one is that we have included the ‘removal of WC extension and rebuilding of rear wall’. He has built a block work wall and is now trying to charge us extra to finish the wall to roof detail to a building regs compliant standard. He has currently left it as literally a block work wall up to but not touching the roof.
While he’s trying to get us to stump up more cash he’s also telling his builders half the scope and expecting them to give him lots of freebies. They’ve therefore not allowed enough time on the job. He has also not paid his guys despite us paying him upfront to the extent where they don’t have the money for sand and cement and have walked offsite. We’ve been totally clear from day 1 that sticking to programme is of utmost importance to us (I am 8 months pregnant).
There is a huge gulf between what we have paid him and what we know he is paying his subcontractors, so he is making thousands for his ‘project management’ role which has amounted to absolutely no work - he never answers his phone / hasn’t been onsite once- beyond causing problems and delays and demanding more money for what has already been quoted for.
We really do need the work finished as currently the entire back of our house is open and we have no kitchen with a baby arriving in 4 weeks, so he has us over a barrel to some extent. What is the best route forward?

Notable gameplay mechanics: Fighting while protecting and leading the girl through dark gloomy levels with enemies and traps. I think the girl was always glowing white so you could easily keep track of her in the dark environments.
Other details: If i remember correctly the girl was supposed to be a symbol of hope or something which is why she glows white. Honestly that's all i can remember. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

We are trying to reach the original drain pipe when installing a shower base where a tub used to be. To get from the new P Trap over an already notched floor joist back down to the original pipe it takes a strange angle to bridge maybe a 3”-6” gap. It’s hard to find any rigid pvc pipe solution for this. What could we use for this? Basically something that can function as 1.5” pipe and make a quick angle that isn’t a standard one

Before we start, allow me to lay all my cards onto the table: No, this is not me bashing Stellar Blade, just Eve's character (or lack there of). No, this is not going to be a "Culture War" fest or whatever, go find a Marvel movie to complain about. Yes, I am a Bayonetta stan. No, I did not play the game, but I've watched playthroughs and I'm not talking about gameplay anyway. Ok?
So Eve Stellar Blade is the new It girl that's been causing a stir with her "sexy" boobs and butt and it's all talk of the town and la de da. There's people saying she's a "fighting fuckdoll trope", there's men putting her on their anti woke pedstal and saying she's the chosen one that's going restore the world back to the good old days and kill the left like Sydney Sweetie's chest or whatever, and everything in between.
Well I, the local contrarian, have chosen the position to say she's barely sexy at all. Now, is she sexualized, are her developers pushing her into sex symbol status? Yes, that comes with the territory of her defult clothes being Ned Flanders Ski suit and her unlockable outfits including pin up girl cosplay. But is Eve Stellar Blade sexy? The answer is no and here's why:
1) We've seen this before
Oh boy, a woman in spandex so tight she almost looks like she's wearing nothing at all! There's only like 100 other female characters who do that!!
Eve Stellar Blade needs to fire her wardrobe manager because her design is boring AF, just the tried and true Si-Fi spandex that every other girl has worn before. Sad thing is, her unlockable outfits that give her a cute, baggy jacket make her one million times more appealing than the sexy outfit version of cardbord box that she's wearing.
2) She has zero personality
So the worst part of this whole culture war surrounding Eve Stellar Blade is I've been seeing people compare her to Bayonetta and like, first of all, keep the queen's name out your mouth. She's sleeping.
Second of all, forgive my tone but Bayonetta cannot be compared to any old raggedy trick. She is Bayonetta . Everything about her, from her clothes, to her hair, to her personality, to her name , it all demands you pay attention to her. Bayonetta is a stripper dominatrix witch with the personality to match. There has never been a leading lady in gaming like her before, and there most likely won't be another after her. No. Comparison. But even if there was a new girl that tried to take the queen's throne, it ain't Even Steven Blonde.
Quick question, type one quote, something iconic that came from Eve Stellar Blade's mouth. Cuz I can think of several from Bayonetta, byt I'll wait.
Back on track, Sexy is more than just your looks, it's how you carry yourself. You think the reason why all the girlies are thirsting after corpse man from Fallout is because they have a no nose fetish??? No!!! It's because that guy is charming and endlessly confident. Bayonetta is charming, endlessly confident, and the baddest bitch of every room she ever walked into.
What does Even Stellar Blade do, other than rely on her looks to secure anti wokers? I'll tell you what, nothing!! She has zero personality, zero charisma, zero prescence, her aesthetic is looking like an airbrushed Korean model in Spandex, and her greatest assets aretried and true gainaxing that's been in every game ever! Yall are comparing this girl to Bayonetta when Mother brought you disappearing clothes AND monstergirls? I'd ask you to raise your standards, but worshipping Even Steven requires you not have any anyway.

TL;DR

Eve Stellar Blade is a bitch and Bayonetta's son. She is also the J Lo of video game girls.

Hello all,
Thanks for reading and apologies for the long intro, but I believe the background is important. I own an 1-bedroom apartment in a Brisbane City high-rise, multi-use building (owners, tenants & hotel). There is an ongoing leak in the bedroom's ceiling, which has been reported to building management and the body corporate. So far, all the response I've received is "this is in progress, we appreciate your patience". I'm at a loss at this stage on how to carry on with the repairs, especially when this affects my tenants & their standard of living. Wondering if anyone else here has had a similar issue and how they got it solved, and whether there is any legal ground I should consider as the next step.
Background:

1. The leak was first reported by my tenants to the real estate agent on 7 April 2024.
2. We carried out inspections, which included opening some holes in the ceiling, and it ends up being a deterioration of air-conditioning piping insulation. This has resulted in condensation and finally a leak through the ceiling and onto the tenant's bed.
3. There are about 8 defective pipes that run through my unit and feeds various other units on my floor (pipe to my unit included).
4. We have a report from air conditioning service company with photos that show the leak and gives a solution & quote on a fix. This was submitted to building management.
5. The building manager raised this issue with the Body Corporate on 18 April 2024.
6. The tenants asked for a rent discount as compensation for the inconvenience, which I obliged.
7. On 1 May 2024 I tried to contact the building manager for an update - no response. I then sent an email to the body corporate manager & the building manager to politely implore:
   1. for a quick resolution to this matter, touching on how it affects the conditions of living and the health & safety of my tenants.
   2. transparency/updates on the progress of this matter so myself and my tenants can have peace of mind that this issue is progressing and will be repaired soon.
8. As of 8 May 2024, all I've had in response was "this matter is still in progress and we will provide a further update as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience."

My questions are:

1. Is the body corporate legally obliged to respond promptly to issues like this? As a landlord I always keep on top of all issues reported and repair them immediately. I am under the impression that a leak onto someone's bed would be pretty urgent.
2. What legal options do I have if the body corporate continues to ignore my requests for repairs?
3. Should I seek legal advice to protect my asset and ensure the safety of my tenants?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

***Lily*** “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run off when I did. I should’ve known you would have my best interests at heart,” I whisper.
“I… I don’t have a heart…” He chuckles meekly.
I chuckle too and respond, “Still, you’re as generous as you are funny. Strong as you are quick. And clever as you are funny. As annoying as it can be sometimes.”
I laugh again. After a moment, I can feel the awkwardness lift as he chuckled then started to move his arms. Suddenly he hugs me back, tightly. Something wet ran down my cheek and I hear him murmur something and ask, “Did you say something?”
“What? No.” He says. He then pushes me back as he says, “Oh crap! We forgot to get you leather armor!”
“Now, now dearie. Believe it or not, we actually took care of it while you were running around looking for her.” Silkie says coming up towards us down the stairs.
“Oh. How did you…” he starts to say as he looks towards me. He then stops and stares at me for a minute. “What happened to your hair?” He asks.
“Oh! This? Believe it or not, this is my original hair color. Do you… do you like it?” I ask back.
“I do. It really is captivating.” He says, putting his hat back on.
I smile. Afterwards, we turn towards the voice that yells, “Yargh! All done. Let’s see how it fits now, yargh.”
It’s Mr. Doe holding the leather armor from before. “That was fast.” Silkie says.
“Yargh. I’ve done me fair share of tanning. This be nothing to a mighty man of the sea, yargh.” He says.
I get up and go over to try them on again.
“Hey John. You got here fast. Did you lock up shop already?” Wabbajack asks him.
“Lock? Why would I lock up me shop, yargh.” He answers.
There is a moment of silence at that statement.
“You’re joking. Right?” Wabbajack asks.
After I am done putting on the leather gloves, shin-guards, and breastplate, I notice that the gloves and shin-guards fit better, and the breastplate conforms a lot better to my shape than before too. “Wow, this is a lot better!” I announce.
“Wow, that is an impressive refit.” Silkie adds.
“Refit? From who?” Wabbajack asks.
“That was Iris’s old assassin armor.” Silkie answers.
Wabbajack looks back at the armor for a minute. Afterwards, he just says, “Impressive refit.”
I then to puff my face in annoyance.
Silkie looks back at Mr. John Doe and asks, “I gotta say, your skills with leather is astonishing but, I don’t think that you quite have what it takes to run your Own business. What do you say you come work for us? Open up your shop here? That way, you can focus on your leatherworks and we can handle your business side of things.”
He takes a puff of his corn-cob pipe and says, “Yargh, well. That would be a lot more fun for me too, yargh. Mayhaps…” He then shakes his head as he says, “Yargh, I can’t. I already have a shop. I can’t abandon it, yargh.”
At that point, a ball of eyeballs with a funny hat float towards him. It then says, “Observer 2-5-6-9 reporting. You are Mr. John Doe, correct?”
“Yargh, that be I. Who’s asking?” Mr. Doe responds.
“Observer 2-5-6-9. I regret to inform you that your store, “The Blubbering Walrus”, has been ransacked and looted. All items, including the boards that made the structure, were taken. We apologize for your loss. Would you like to make a report?” it answers in an almost robotic tone.
“Yargh! What! Me entire store is gone!” Mr. Doe exclaims.
What did you expect? You left the store unsupervised and unlocked. Still, it Is kinda surprising to hear that they took the Structure as well.
“Yes. Unfortunately, none of your items, or building, were insured by the Dimensional Union of Multiplying Basic Opportunities, so you will not be compensated for the loss of any of your stock. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.” It says as it floats towards me.
“Observer 2-5-6-9, reporting. Are you Lily Extravagund?” it then asks me.
“Um, yes?” I answer.
“I regret to inform you that your picnic basket was stolen in the recent raid on the “Blubbering Walrus”. Unfortunately, none of your items were insured by the Dimensional Union of Multiplying Basic Opportunities, so you will not be compensated for the loss. We apologize and wish you luck in your future endeavers.” It then floats away.
“Okay… that was interesting.” I say.
“You might want to reconsider her offer.” Wabbajack says.
“Yargh, business is hard. Very well madame. If you really think me works are worthy, I’ll reopen the Blubbering Walrus here. Although, I will need me own tools, yargh.” He says, offering his hand.
“That’s all well and good but, unfortunately, I am not the person to decide that. That would be up to Iris.” Silkie says, crossing two of her arms and putting one against her cheek and the other on her hip.
“Who? Yargh.” He asks.
“My sis.” Wabbajack says.
“Yargh! That be a surprise. Any advice?” Mr. Doe asks Wabbajack.
As helpful as ever, Wabbajack just shrugs. He then goes, “OH! Buffalo wings! She loves those.”
Silence.
“Don’t worry dear, I’ll put in a good word for you.” Silkie says. “Go ahead and wait down here while I go talk to her.” She says as she goes back up the stairs.
“Looks like you’re on the fast track to being part of the family John.” Wabbajack mentions, offering his hand.
Mr. Doe takes a puff and takes it. They then perform a vigorous shake. He then takes another puff and goes back to the cafeteria.
Wabbajack looks back towards me and asks, “Well. Take two, are you ready to try getting a familiar?”
I adjust all my new gear. From my mask and emblem to my still-empty quiver, all the way to my new shin-guards. Making sure that it’s comfortable. I then let out a chuckle. Wabbajack asks, “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. I’m just starting to feel like a Real adventurer.” I answer.
He laughs. I then let out a laugh as well.
I then skip towards the door. As I am skipping, I look over my shoulder and say, “Come on! We still got to head to Mogsten’s!”
He adjusts his hat and says, “Coming!” He then starts walking behind me and says, “Hey! Shouldn’t You be following Me?”
I chuckle as I say, “Well then, move faster!”
I hear him chuckle as he immediately catches up to me.
We open the door and head on out back to Mogsten’s. I stay close to Wabbajack so not to get lost again. I eventually look back up to the sky, between the clouds and the flying creatures with and without cities on their back. It’s all so crazy. I feel more alive than I have felt in, well, ever. A month ago, I would have laughed someone out of town if they had told me a place like this existed. Now, I can’t help but imagine what else is out there. There must be So much if Wabbajack, with how much he has seen and done, if he still gets surprised every now and again. Magic is real, and it is Improved with science. A thought occurs however so I ask, “Hey, is there more than what’s here or is there other countries or whatever they might be called?”
He puts a finger to his chin and answers, “Well, it goes on forever. It’s all Spiritopia but there are different cultures depending how far out you go. Up is typically for the people who enjoy flying as opposed to walking and down is for the people who prefer something overhead at all times, like molemen, certain kinds of vampires, and some reptile people. The list goes on.” He then points to the right and says, “If I’m not turned around again, that should be towards the oceanic district, for the ones who enjoy or need to be moisturized at all times. The other way is the forest district where people who enjoy that kind of place. Personally, I have thought about a treehouse myself. Each kind of district offers unique kinds of goods but, the city district, the place that we are at now, offers goods from all of them but it’s more generalized. The forest district offers some unique fruits and poisons that aren’t sold here for example. But, unless you are looking for something incredibly specific, you should be able to find it here.”
“Wow… this place goes on forever huh?” I say amazed. I then ask, “What about sandy areas? Are there species who need that kind of environment?”
He shrugs and says, “Well, before you get to the oceanic district, there is quite a bit of sand. Not to mention, sand bathing is surprisingly popular so there are businesses here that offer that service. But, not exactly popular material to build on. Some people like to go camping there however.”
It’s like a veritable playground. I ask another question, “Now that I think about it, was this place always like this or were there people who cultivated it like this?”
He tilts his head as he answers, “Well, that’s the thing with certain dimensions. Some just are. This is a perfect example of that kind of place. There is no history, no records, or no previous involvement. This place was just paved and ready for the first group of people who came by. Although, what was weird, even by my standards, was that there were Detailed instructions on how to cultivate All this. That is the only time that had Ever happened AND people following it.”
“Wait. Instructions? So… Someone left it?” I ask.
“Well, yes. Someone had to. The problem is, there was no traces on it whatsoever. It’s like it came with the dimension.” He answers, pointing a finger in the air.
“And that doesn’t happen often?” I ask as well.
“Well, the instructions part is actually pretty common. But it was discovered by a group of people with the diversity and skill that were willing to follow it. That. That takes planning of an extraordinary scale. Most people, even with the instructions, just ignore it and start doing their own thing. Which usually causes problems down the road. Hubs like this are rare admittedly. Especially as free as it is.” He answers again, this time scratching his head.
“So, is Spiritopia one of a kind?” I ask.
“As far as I know but, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another similar to it however.” He says, as he walks normally again.
I look forward to try and process all this stuff but, as I do, I see Mogsten’s sign over his tent.
Before we walk in, I stop Wabbajack.
“Hmm? Don’t tell me your having doubts now, are you?” he asks.
I shake my head and say, “I Have to know something.”
“What’s up?” he asks.
“Is chewed gum really an ingredient in certain things?” I ask.
He lets out a laugh as he answers, “Surprisingly. The fact that they are pre-chewed make it easier to get samples from certain creatures. For example, would you rather get venom directly from a snake or trick it with some gum and extract it that way?”
“I guess that is a possibility…” I say.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s Definitely not as concentrated as pure extract but, it’s usually good enough for moderate level stuff.” He explains.
We stand there for a minute. He then asks, “Was that all?”
I snap out of it and say, “Oh! Yes. Let’s do this!” I then march right through the flap towards the surprisingly large inside.
As we enter, we see Mogsten, in full on bit mode, with a customer. Looks like a fishman.
“Yes. It is quite a rare piece. I don’t see how I could sell it for anything less than, say, a thousand currency?” I hear him say.
“A thousand! Forget that! I would buy it for twenty currency.” The fishman says.
“But sir, giant’s horns are indeed rare. Not to mention to find one willing to give it up is even More difficult. I don’t know when I would ever get another one! Nine hundred fifty.” Mogsten states.
“Ha! Nine hundred fifty? Dude, this shop is terrible! If you don’t want me to spread the word around that you rip off your customers with absurd prices Gnome!” He pauses and grabs the horn. He then says, “Then I guess the price on this is free. Ha!”
“Actually, nine hundred fifty is a pretty fair price for a giant’s horn.” Wabbajack points out.
“And who asked…” he starts to say as he turns around. He then sees Wabbajack and panics “A-a-a-a. You! Crap! Look, don’t kill me man! Look, I’ll give you the horn! Just, don’t hurt me!”
“Umm, that horn isn’t yours though. You haven’t paid Mr. Mogsten for it yet.” I point out.
“Shut up you brat! I ain’t talking to you! Besides, he’s a Gnome. What’s he gonna do? Throw rocks at me?” the fishman says.
Wabbajack steps towards him and he just falls backwards. Before the fishman can even mouth whatever he wants to say, Wabbajack says, “One, this “brat” is a very good friend of mine. Two, gnome or not, you don’t just take whatever products you want just because you feel like it. Three, that gnome could easily kill you in any number of ways. And four, you won’t make any friends if you continue being as rude as you have been.”
I see a puddle appear on the floor and some gasping. He then just falls flat. He looks like he is still breathing.

The Biden Administration’s Environmental Agenda

• 10 Big Environmental Rules: The Biden administration has been racing to finalize a slew of major environmental regulations, including rules to combat climate change, a first-ever ban on asbestos and new limits on toxic chemicals in tap water.
• Replacing Lead Pipes: President Biden traveled to North Carolina, a possible swing state in the fall election, to promote his efforts to replace toxic lead pipes as part of his administration’s program to expand and upgrade the nation’s network of roads, airports and other critical infrastructure.
• Two California National Monuments: Biden expanded the perimeters of two national monuments in California, protecting mountains and meadows in a remote area between Napa and Mendocino as well as a rugged stretch east of Los Angeles.
• Tightening Efficiency Rules: The Department of Energy adopted stricter energy-efficiency standards for water heaters, the most consequential move in a flurry of changes designed to reduce the energy used by many common appliances.

Platform(s): PC
Genre: RTS (or something with multiple unit control)
Estimated year of release: This one is complicated. I think I played it mid 90's, but im pretty sure i found this game on one of those old CDs that came bundled with magazines, filled with demos, shareware, and maybe some full game from a small or in-house studio. So maybe the game is actually older than when I played it. My familiy used to buy "OK PC" and "OK PC GAMER" (Spain edition) back in the day, so maybe it could be found in some cd there.
Graphics/art style: I remember vivid, oversaturated flat colors, so I think it coul be VGA graphics, but i'm not really sure. Think a vast field of green, kind of like the original SimCity, but with less detail. I also remember there being small, polygonal units, but they could have been just sprites or pre-rendered. I belive the game/demo/match started with a splash screen where you chose your faction by clicking on one of ... six? eight? different color coded "flags" (squares with the symbol of the faction, like a clan or something). Everything was rether plain, without much detail (so nothing like Warcraft 1). The game was sci-fi and futuristic, and I distintly remember there being tanks and mostly....
Notable characters: some sort of bi-pedal mech walker. Think an AT-ST, but instead of a box its body was a cylinder. It had a tip that shoot fine lasers. Laser where a distinct line. And I've been hunting this sucker for the last years.
Notable gameplay mechanics: I don't really remember the gameplay specifics, but I do recall "discovering" that all factions had the same units, only they unlocked them at different stages/speeds. So, for example, i believe that the yellow faction had the easiest access to the bipedal mechs, whereas the red faction had an easier access to tanks. (Notice that I say "access" because maybe each faction started with a preassembled army, I sadly don't remember well)
Other details: It is definetly not a widely known or cult game, and I've never seen it mentioned in any retrospective or top list or anything, so we can exclude all the heavy hitters. I also remember thinking, even back then, that the name sounded rather silly. Some made up word like "Xaxon", "Zargon", something like that. But do have in mind that (1) english isn't my native language, so maybe it was a standard name and I just didn't know the word, and (2) all this happened a long time ago, so I may be remebering this (or other deatils) wrong >.<
Thanks in advance for just for reading all this! xD

[Subject Memory Transcription: Rux Limpbut, Venlil News Anchor and TV Show Host]
Date [Standardized Galactic(?) Time]:August 1st, 2136
Now I'm regretting not taking that transfer last week. This just keeps getting better.
I was in my car outside of the Network’s station. I was at my wits end yesterday and was trying my damnedest *not* to freak out on air. Now? Now I had the pleasure of my network telling me they needed me to come in way early to report on some breaking news. Just as I was about to leave for Solgaliks sake!
I took a small sip of the “coffee”. Now this was a blessing, coffeehouses on Gaia were open paw around, no matter what. I was giving a small prayer to those “ancestors” for their love of anything strong. Well, anything strong that wasn't alcohol. They could stomach one drink or two but after that? They were out.
Slurrrrrp
I let out a relieved sigh as the warm liquid flowed down my maw, the reward of caffeine soon following after this. Hopefully in time for the recording. With that I opened the door, grabbing my briefcase as I greedily drank the rest of the coffee as I approached the wide doors of the Networks station.
They creaked a little as they always did as I appeared in the doorway, a sleepy, overworked ghost. I tossed the coffee cup into the trashcan by the door as I nodded over the after work plans that I had to either postpone, or completely not do.
No bar time, going to be too tired. Not going to have enough time to do more digging in what that Farsulian diplomat released, even after it's been nearly two months. Brahk. Still need to be ready for the shift tomorrow-
“Rux?” The front desk secretary pulled me up and out of my thoughts as I blinked a couple of times, my ears raising as one of my eyes focused on her, a bit frizzled from the overtime I was clocking at the moment.
“Hm? Oh. Hey Liakal, caught me off guard almost as bad as the padcall I got. What's up?” I rubbed my eye as I fully focused on her, making my way over to her.
“Well, whenever you're ready for them they'll give you all you need, apparently, when you get into the studio. What they told me is uh, it's not a pleasant amount of news.” She nervously played with her claws and her headset, her lips quivering a bit.
“That bad? Speh. What about that uh, guest? She gets off-”
“O-oh! Mrs Tarva. She got off the planet easily. I can't say anything else though Rux. They said whatever they have to tell is very, very pertinent not to be let loose until you broadcast it… sorry Rux.”
I patted the top of the semi circle desk that Liakal was sat into, before giving her a quick, albeit small smile with a finger gun before I quickly deflated. It was that bad. With a nod from me I departed into the hallway to the left of the front desk, approaching one of the elevators.
A button press, a chime and the feeling of gravity and anxiousness about to make me hurl later, I was on the floor with the studios. I retraced the steps I had taken only claws before to mine. The green sign saying “Predator Problems” told me I hadn't failed as usual. Something had to be done with our program and segment name, if for nothing else there was apparently much more juicy stuff to talk about.
Opening the door, I expected the hustling and scrambling of the cameramen, the lighting crew, audio specialists. But nothing except a small huddled group of uniformed men. Brahk, I was hoping this wasn't the case but I was never that lucky. I resigned myself to fate as the group finally paid attention to me, and the door clicking and shutting behind me.
“Mr. Rux. Please come over here and sit. You're all good, we just need to go over what we need you to announce in this upcoming impromptu broadcast.” Why the hell were the Gaians on Prime? Wait no. That's not the problem. Why are officers from their military here? Oh stars.
However I could feel my body coming towards the oval shaped table. Eventually knocking into a chair and pulling it out, resting my briefcase onto the ground and taking a seat, pulling up to the desk. I rested my paws on it as I gave a look to the group assembled around it.
All were wearing roughly the same uniform, their fur patterns one of the only differing things between them. Aside from the one at the end of the table. They wore a green beret atop their head, nestled in between the horns that adorned it. They cleared their throat and slid a small packet of papers towards me, startling me a tiny bit.
“While I wish to be polite and respectful, there's simply no way to say this without being blunt. Sole Speaker Jikem is dead. With the current atmosphere on Gaia we thought it'd be best to announce the formation of an emergency government and a leader to head it. All of which has been done in a roundabout manner so as to not alert any radicals or terrorists.”
I had only taken a cursory glance at the front of the small packet before that bombshell of an information was dropped onto me nonchalantly. My paw was halfway to the front page to turn it before my gaze looked up at the Gaian at the end of the oval table who had done so.
“What? Sorry can you-”
“Rux. Come on, you know what I said. Now, I know it isn't everypaw that you get to report on the death of a head of state, let alone be the first one to do so. I'll most certainly give you that. So, we'll give you some time alone…well mostly, to get acquainted with the packet and once you and your crew are roaring to go we'll release the news to the Commonwealth.”
I took a small lookover of the second page but had to pause for a short moment again as I took it in. Yes, yes I did have some questions. Half from the large info dropped on me and the other half that I was now reading with my very own eyes now.
Before they could fully get up I had worked up the courage to get a short clearing of the throat and read out of the lines in the packet out aloud after I had decided it would be better to ask now rather than after. “In conjunction with recent attacks the Armed forces has decided to-” I put down the packet in its entirety now.
“What in the stars could you possibly mean by “safeguarding” democracy? This just seems to be some type of justification for a military takeover. I mean, who's going to fall for this?”
The chairs of the small clique of officers seem to find themselves filled once more as they returned to their positions, most of them now gazing between me, some random crew member scurrying near me and the head honcho with the green beret.
The intensity of the stare of the Gaian at the opposite end of the table seemed to intensify, seemingly his gaze looking through me. “Mr. Rux, I can assure you any such speculation to that matter and that, frankly, justified if albeit imaginary fear is going to be the last thing people on Gaia are going to worry about. Alright?”
I anxiously nodded back, sighing. “L-look I'm just-”
The Bereted officer seemed to nod while holding up his paw, my line of reasoning and thought being stopped by the intrusion. “Worried, you ancestors are always worried. It's why we're here, yes? Anything too dangerous or otherwise unsafe we've always volunteered for so as to save our more cultured self from such. Think about this announcement like that. A warning and an update from our side of the Commonwealth about current affairs, nothing more, nothing less.”
With that it seemed settled for the time being, as the small clique once again rose, and this time was actually able to depart to the booth that overlooked the studio, keeping what I was sure to guess a keen pair of eyes to observe anything.
I settled into my seat more as I gave the small packet a read. It was general stuff as of this point when it came to announcements. Why it's happening, what happened in more details, what they planned to do in the upcoming future, all that juicy stuff. Overall a very plain, if very informative script to go by. Still, being the first to announce the death of a head of state via “Unnatural Causes” would make even some of the most resolved Gaians a bit jumpy, yes?
Once I finally gave the entirety of the packet a quick read over I sat it down giving a glance to my, by now, very familiar set that we used for “Predator Problems”, the entire reason for why I had started it had been to educate and warn people about what to do with predators and the like. Now I was going to have to educate them, apparently, about the fact that our “brothers” in species so to speak were having a bit of topsy-turvy time on their capital planet. Now I was kinda hoping I was one of the more conspiracy theorist nut jobs just so I didn't have to get contacted.
Resigning myself to fate, and the fact that apparently I of all Vens was the most level headed to announce this, I looked over the studio, eventually finding the small group of uniformed men again. I got up and out of the chair as I made my way over to them, flicking my tail into a questioning sign as I did so, my approaching presence quickly noticed.
“Seems like you've got some questions, you read the packet though yeah?” One of them said, I simply signaled a yes with my ears to respond.
“So, is this immediately being aired? Or is it being aired later on tomorrow-well, this paw? Should it be the first thing or the last thing or is it the only thing I'm doing for this one?” With these questions the small clique seemed to talk in-between themselves, small glances were made in my general direction, they seemed to come to some type of conclusion though as they turned back to me, the bereted one now taking center stage again once more.
“Yes. It's being immediately aired. You do realize you are a bit of a celebrity on Gaia, yes? A special breaking news from you would certainly draw the right eyes. Then it'll spread from there. We do have other stuff for you to read, but it'll appear on the prompter. Other than that though we'll take our leave once everything is said and done.”
I gave a small thanks to Solgalik, as that would mean I would be able to go back home and get at least a claw or two of rest. Speh, if I just slept here I could get an extra one easy. But I didn't have much time to dwell on that, instead I apparently had a job to do right now.
With that bit of information I decided to go around, talking to the crew, who as of this point has finally settled down and has stopped scattering from the Gaians. A small conversation with each helped us plan out the next few tantalizingly painful minutes that were about to unfold live on air.
With everything and everyone in place, I took my seat at the curved table in the middle of the cameras, getting my little tie ready. With a countdown from 3, I settled into my on screen persona as the red lights of the cameras went on.
“Good Paw to everyone tuning in! I'm your host as always, Rux Limpbut, and this is Predator problems. This time though, we do have some breaking news that we need to get to. So with that being said, I suppose it's time for me to get to it.”
I straightened my back, placing my paws firmly as I closed my eyes, breathing in and then opening my eyes again.
Alright. Just gotta break the news that the head of state of the other half of our Commonwealth is dead and their Army just decided to seize power for democracy's sake.
“I have some sad, and what some can and should be saying is unsettling, news. Sole Speaker Jikem of the Gaian Cooperative, has died earlier this paw. Details are scarce and hard to come by as of this point, but from preliminary reports and investigations, it seems as though he *may* have been assassinated while at a checkpoint. As many of you know he was elected on a lockstep ticket with the current governor of Venlil Prime, Veln. He oversaw the last closing years of the Dominion-Federation war, as well as the beginning of closer federation ties. Many people are bound to ask as of this point what is going to happen, and the easiest and most truthful answer is…we don't know.”
I shuffled some papers, discarding the packet to the side of the table before continuing on with the information I was to spout out.
“Already reports are coming in that the Armed Forces of Gaia have declared a state of emergency and already there are rumblings that they have formed… an emergency government?”
I gave a bit of a confused look before continuing, I could see the group of uniformed Gaians nodding as I did so, apparently that was good enough for them.
The rest of the news report was generally a bit unsettling, or at least info packed by many people's standards. Updates on the federation at large, some reports on the status of the Venian Commonwealth and what was the plan going forward and before I knew it the red blinking light on the cameras had vanished, and the lights overhead had dimmed.
“Alright, that's good for us. We'll have one of our guys stay over the paw to help your team edit it but other than that? You can head on home.” The bereted one informed me, before signalling to one of the clique, most likely the one to stay here and “help” us edit.
I rested back in my chair and closed my eyes, I think it was time for me to get some shuteye.

Smoke billows out from the mouth of the Uniformed figure, a lit cigar cradled in his claws. He takes a survey of the trio gathered in front of him.
“So.” The figure grunts out, leaning back into his chair.
“So, what?” One of the trio asks inquisitively, shifting in their seat.
“So now what? Not many paws you get to make a masterstroke of a situation like this. Sole speaker is dead, people are looking to any type of stability and we perfectly fill the slot.” The Uniformed figure takes the cigar up to his mouth, smoking it lightly.
“Well there are numerous concerns.” The most center of the trio speak.
“Like what to do with those brahking predators that apparently still exist.” To the right of the first speaker.
“I vote we integrate them posthaste!” And finally the one on the other end.
A thick billowing cloud of smoke escapes the lips of the Uniformed figure, fidgeting for a moment before rolling forward. His face now fully lit.
“Gentlemen. Calm down. We have plenty of problems with plenty of solutions. But that's why you put me in charge of this little emergency government anyhow right? Levelheaded, warhero, clean political record.”
The trio murmur for a moment before returning a nod, the middle one piping up as he did so.
“Yes, that is why we decided to throw our towel in with you Marshal.”
The Uniformed figure now places his elbows on the table, his paws bridging each other while the cigar is still in-between in his paws.
“That's Marshal-at-Arms Jyuvernik to you. Now where were we? Ah right. The Dark corner. I want you to send a diplomatic team to assess the cattle debacle.”

Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men among men. Crept they into the Councils, taking forms that were like unto men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and ruling o'er man. Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their faces be seen. Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows to destroy man and rule in his place. But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic, able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent, able to send him back to his place -Thoth, the Great Wise
Remember Venom, the parasitic alien life form that is attached to spiderman & a massive church bell isused to get rid of em? Venom was basically an Archon that the gnostics & Thoth talk about. Symbiotes are symbiotic alien life forms which feed on the emotions of their hosts, particularly negative emotions. Bells
Its been reported for ages that the plague would skip over the areas in Russia where they had larger concentrations of church bells. Many Soviet researchers determined the amazing healing properties of bells and found that the oscillation of the ultrasonic range of church bells repels bacilli, viruses, and other infectious diseases that are transmitted through the air, and even cures many other diseases. Bells Healing Study
The Apkalu who introduced the Me, brought arts/crafts, agriculture, writing, magic & music. Enki was god of music. See the golden age ancient civilizations sound, frequency & harmonics was widely understood to be the greatest method for healing the body.
To be clear, the cathedrals that you see around the world were never meant to be churches, they were centers used for healing. Cathedrals Healing Centers Everything the church had was pirated.. In sixth century, Pope Gregory, in a letter to those who were to carry Catholicism to Britain, cautioned these missionaries NOT to destroy the ancient sites. Gregory wanted them to destroy their idols, but insisted they kept the architecture as it was thereby automatically linking alignment to the ley lines and maintaining the power source. Egyptian concept of Maat(Harmony) was of the utmost importance, the reason the discipline that the church created to study Egypt has more questions than answers is because they don't understand this.
In the campaign to disconnect us from our true selves, the most detrimental action theyd take involved musical theory principles, suppression of the tritone in music was a central theme for hundreds of years. Canon laws were passed to mandate rules for how to construct scales, how to handle voice leading, what was considered consonant and dissonant, how contrary motion should be handled, what tones should and should not be emphasized in rhythm, which rhythmic patterns were acceptable and specific instructions for how music should be written. Megalithic monuments were built using acoustic HARMONIC Resonance, one will never understand Pyramid, temples, etc disregarding Harmony with nature.
History repeats itself, this 1939 Nature article wouls lead to the change by International Standards Association (ISA) from 432hz to 440hz & still today they have no true understanding of sound & its many benefits. A=440Hz tuning disassociates the connection of consciousness to the body and creates anti-social conditions in humanity. Music -Double Blind study In preliminary research, analysis, and professional discussions by Walton, Koehler, Reid, et al., on the web, A=440Hz frequency music conflicts with human energy centers (i.e., chakras) from the heart to the base of the spine. Alternatively, chakras above the heart are stimulated. Theoretically, the vibration stimulates ego and left-brain function, suppressing the "heart-mind," intuition and creative inspiration. Interestingly, the difference between 440 and 741 Hz is known in musicology as the Devil's Interval.
For maximum suppression of human consciousness, the frequencies we naturally resonate with, and which are the most biologically and psycho-spiritually enhancing, must be maximally suppressed.Ancient Egyptian and Greek instruments have reportedly been found to be tuned to 432 Hz. 432Hz is consistent with the natural resonance of the UNI-VERSE and all of NATURE, that the pitch is more HARMONIOUS and that when our atoms and DNA resonate in harmony with nature's SPIRAL pattern, our sense of connection to nature is said to be AMPLIFIED. Previously I cited the recent discoveries showing DNA being repaired by use of sound frequencies. Priests of Horus meant that they maintained the knowledge of harmony.
The great pyramid Acoustic chambers matched the harmonic chambers of the human body, the King chambesarcophagus Resonance frequency created a resounding beat frequency matching the human heartbeat. Every site had a navel which resonate at 111hz which switched from left to right brain dominance assisting with holistic processing, leading to altered state of consciousness.
Hollywood comes from the Druid magicians whod make Wands outta wood from the Holly tree to cast spells on the unsuspecting. Sounds like Op Mockingbird to me. To disconnect as much as possible the functions of these two distinct parts of the brain so we can be manipulated through the right brain while only being conscious of the left.They plant thoughts, responses, and images through the right brain (the dream-state, the non-conscious, through symbolism and subliminal imagery) while imprisoning the human conscious level in the left brain - the world of can I touch it, smell it, taste it, see it, hear it, OK it must exist. This is why the "education" system, and "science" is designed to talk to the left brain.
No architectural element of antiquity (excluding bearing elements), was just a decoration. Everything had a function. Even the vases, and doorknobs. The doorknobs would be made of copper to kill bacteria & infections. So, at the correct frequency there were regenerating concert halls, where people recharged themselves with pleasant music while buildings collected the energy of the ether. They stigmatized the ether & removed it as well. If zero-point energy machines were developed on the biological model of the caduceus coil and central ion channel then our energy generation could actually enhance human evolution rather than harming ourselves and the planet as it does now. Similarly if we construct superconducting solar architecture with a monoatomic lattice in manmade stone, then the energy emanating from this energy generator will also enhance the consciousness of life around it

I misspelled it on the title. My bad. Its Avetåålskå.
Hello, or, as one would say in my conlang, Hållo! My conlang, Avetååskå /ɑʋɛtʊːlskʊ/, known in Norwegian as Elvsnakke and is often referred to as Finnmark Norse, because it is spoken in the northernmost region of Norway, Finnmark, as well as parts of Finland, Sweden, and Russia.
It is a North Germanic language of the Western branch, closely related to Norwegian, wiah heavy influence in its grammar and phonology from the Sámi languages, Kven, and Finnish, due to its proximity and some shared culture between the groups.
To characterize its typology and features generally, it retains a number of archaic roots that Norwegian lacks, and, when compared to the Germanic languages as a whole, is considerably more agglutinative and grammatically divergent, with a lot of grammatical features unique to the language and others borrowed from Finnish.
Here is the phonology of the language, excluding those created by allophones:

• Nasals: m n ŋ
• Stops: p b t d k g
• Fricatives: f s ʂ ç ʝ x h
• Affricates: ʦ ʈ͡ʂ
• Approximants: ʋ l j
• Trill: r
• Vowels: ɑ ɛ ø i y ʉ ɨ ɔ o ʊ

Note that all vowels have a long form, though their long form isn't exactly the same in terms of pronunciation as their short/standard form.
Here is a generally unacademic/chill/casual description of the allophony/mutation system in Avetåålskå. Note that the mutations, such as the nasal palatalization or voiced plosive lenition, are not written in the spelling system but are exclusively pronounced, with the exception of gemination, which is written:

• All voiced plosives lenite to their fricative form intervocalically, when geminated, and in word-final position
  • d = ð, b = β, g = ɣ
• ɔ = o when long, word-initial, or word-final
• ɨ = i when long, word-final, or stressed
• at the end of the word = schwa
• the ng combination always is realized as ŋ, no exceptions as the g and the alveolar nasals are not allowed together
• Nasals before ç & ʝ palatalize, as does the nasal + j cluster
  • n= ɲ, ŋ = ŋʲ, m = mʲ
• Two of the same consonant are geminated
• ʉ = u when long, word-final, or stressed
• ɛ = e when long, word-final, or stressed
• r > ɹ before ð, β, ɣ
• Two standard vowels right next to each other diphthongize, you cannot have two long vowels or any long-short vowel combinations right next to each other, nor can you have two of the same vowel next to each other, as those would just mutate into the long form
• f > v intervocalically or after an initial vowel

The following list is the spelling for sounds that differ than their IPA symbol, as well as all the vowels cuz thats easiest: ŋ = ng ʂ > sj ç > kj ʝ > gj x > ch ʦ > ts ʈ͡ʂ > tj ʋ > v ɑ > a ɑː > á ɛ > e eː > é ø > ö øː > öö ɨ > i iː > í y > y yː > ý ʉ > u uː > ú ɔ > o oː > ó ʊ > å ʊː > åå
Now, I haven't quite figured out how these sounds would evolve from Old Norse, but I based them mostly off Norwegian and Finnish, which would fit the area and the history I have in mind.
Now, let's look at a short paragraph in the language and compare it with the same paragraph in English, Norwegian, and Finnish. Please note that I am not fluent in Finnish, though I have been studying it for several years, and I am definitely not fluent in Norwegian, so be aware that the excerpts from those two languages, Norwegian in particular, are likely to be messy. I'm also not entirely finished with the language either, so this is kind of a rough format and I aim for it to be more naturalistic over time.
English: The language of Finnmark is widely regarded to be very beautiful, often considered to be like the beauty of the land itself. Unfortunately, however, there are not many speakers left, as overtime assimilation into surrounding cultures and language opression have left the native speakers scattered and isolated. But, like many minority languages, there is enough of a revival movement to give hope for the languages survival in the future.
Norwegian: Språket i Finnmark er allment ansett for å være veldig vakkert, ofte ansett for å være som skjønnheten i selve landet. Dessverre er det imidlertid ikke mange foredragsholdere igjen, ettersom overtidsassimilering i omkringliggende kulturer og språkundertrykkelse har gjort morsmålene spredt og isolert. Men, som mange minoritetsspråk, er det nok av en vekkelsesbevegelse til å gi håp for språkets overlevelse i fremtiden.
Finnish: Finnmarkin kieltä pidetään laajalti erittäin kauniina, usein myös itse maan kauneudena. Valitettavasti puhujia ei ole enää montaa jäljellä, sillä ylityöllinen assimilaatio ympäröiviin kulttuureihin ja kielten sorro ovat jättäneet äidinkielenään puhujat hajallaan ja eristyksissä. Mutta kuten monien vähemmistökielten, herätysliikettä on riittävästi antamaan toivoa kielten selviytymisestä tulevaisuudessa.
Avetåålskå: Tångaden Finnmarkeretör kaunihettetör, uften betrakteter kaunitör sommát segelve. Vukjedig, erímo, deterein tångaja ederlá, asimmilerikúte nåmég isååkultúri ajattid ogjortoa tångaltav ederlásim ösjöörripe tångaj haváler ogjeríster. Mennut, somtångaene litenettet, ekklessedener líkettenát antáhåp tångavárte poasjáherte.

I recently watched Under The Silver Lake and it reminded me of other movies where there either isn’t a clear plot in the traditional sense or reality is suspended in favor of a deeper meaning. Films like Killing of A Sacred Deer, Mulholland Drive etc…
I am a movie buff but a dumb one I admit. I’m no good at discerning deeper meanings or symbolism in film. But most of the older cinema I have exposed myself to (1930’s-1960’s era) seem to follow the traditional standards of film, a clear plot and, while there may be a larger meaning or symbol implanted in the films, they are planted in reality, the same world I live in.
Have there always been films that don’t seem to make sense on the surface or seemingly have little plot that requires the audience to do more work to understand? Have I just not heard of them? Or was there a certain point in time when more production studios or individual efforts meant more chance taken on an art project style of film?
