Fury Road was a Mad Max film that came out a few years ago. It was a great movie, not only for the story, but also for the effects. Its scale was massive.
In the months and years immediately following Fury Road, it was heralded as a turning point in cinema that rejected CGI in favor of practical effects. It was cast as a rejection of CGI and a return to classic practical effects. In recent years, however, we’ve started to reject that narrative. If you watch the movie closely, you realize it is chock-full of CGI. We just never noticed because it was done so well, and the way it was effortlessly folded into practical elements made the CGI extremely immersive. I think the lesson we all learned was that CGI, when complemented with seamless practical effects, makes for a killer visual experience.

Right, I cannot access my wishlist on the mobile app or mobile website.
I fucking love seeding. Nothing better than pushing the limits of a “no data usage cap” plan.
I’ve got my server set up such that I was able to achieve these stats in 2.5 months
Bruh what. I’m not trying to control anything. Just offering an objective fact that you can use how you see fit.
FYI, the S word is increasingly seen as a slur.
How do you figure? 70mpg isn’t too shabby for a motorcycle today. In the 40s? 70mpg is pretty bonkers for a 40s machine.
Or locked up in the back and placed on train tracks…

But despite reports that they were already involved in fighting, western officials believe that they are yet to have been sent into battle.
“We say due to poor training and lack of logistical support as the primary reasons why DPRK haven’t started the fight yet,” said one official.
The people who were clamoring about North Korean soldiers getting absolutely slaughtered by Ukraine are the same people who repost stories about North Koreans getting executed for not having Kim’s haircut. In the same breath, they’ll cast North Korea as an ultra-propagandized state, and then quote a Radio Free Asia article about how North Koreans are getting bombed out the ass by the Ghost of Kiev.
It’s literally happening in this thread’s comment section. Instead of reconciling how they’ve been duped for the past months about North Korean soldiers fighting in Ukraine, they’ve dug in deeper and started to parrot points about “North Koreans got addicted to masturbation once they reached Russia” - a point which the pentagon has emphatically claimed as unverified and possibly unverifiable. Absolutely no introspection from these people after having been duped by Ukraine’s bonkers “intelligence”.
These people never asked themselves “Huh, why is it that for the last few months I’ve been able to attain 1080p drone footage of Russian soldiers getting grenaded - with so much clarity I can make out the stubble on their faces - yet there has not been a single image of a North Korean casualty?” Whatever Radio Free Asia says is gospel to these people, I suppose.
You were saying?
The North Korean troops are expected to be used to reinforce Putin’s military seeking to recapture a swathe of the Kursk region of Russia which was seized by Ukrainian forces in a surprise attack in the summer.
But despite reports that they were already involved in fighting, western officials believe that they are yet to have been sent into battle.
Dog, if you find yourself using radio free Asia as a source, take a step back and realize you’re spewing bullshit.
Claiming that South Korean politics are subordinate to American politics isn’t exactly unfair…
To this day, the US maintains a military presence on the DMZ, the zone separating the borders of the two countries. Twice a year, they conduct a mock invasion of the north with the ROK Army. The Republic of Korea’s army is copied from the US structure and was created by the US military occupation: they have four-star generals, they have a Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Republic of Korea (versus a Joints Chiefs of Staff of the United States of America). It shouldn’t come as a surprise: their military was created wholepiece in 1945 by the US presence in Korea. The South Korean equivalent of the CIA was named, you guessed it, the KCIA (now the National Intelligence Service).
More notably, ROK Forces obey the US officers present in Korea through the CFC, the Combined Forces Command. This is the only country in the world which is under this arrangement. While the CFC has changed its mandate a little bit in the past few years, it still states that in case of war involving the Republic of Korea, the US Army will take over command of the Korean forces. A state that has no agency over its military cannot be said to be a sovereign state.
Ah yes. Educating fascists out of fascism. You’re definitely not a lib.
3·24 days agoAgreed. I am becoming increasingly more skeptical of psychiatry since it seems like a means of downloading society’s problems onto individuals.

Yup, same with PFAS and forever chemicals. Maybe I’m ignorant because I’m not a doctor, but I don’t know if this line of thinking holds water - pun not intended.
