Not really. Just trying to put things into chronology in my mind. I also don’t remember when The Matrix was supposed to take place :/

huh, I expected the original would be all the way back from the 00’s
At this point I doubt tankies should be much of a concern. What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base? I’d sooner worry about the indecisive ones who have seen the performances in the debate.
Tbh if there’s a musician that deserves this sort of comments, Eno is definitely one of the best candidates.
This has to have some weird ass allegorical meaning.
EDIT: So apparently this is a picture from a “Stammbuch” (“friendship book”) by some Ludwig Hetzer, from 1620. The scan of the book can be found here: http://digital.wlb-stuttgart.de/purl/bsz475519329 (at 12 recto; has lots of other fascinatingly weird drawings and miniature paintings).
The lower part of the page seems to be a dedication from a friend in Latin (seems to be referring to a birthday?), and above might be the text (probably a proverb) that explans the image but it’s in Greek and I can barely decipher cursive Greek, much less figure out the meaning. The first word seems to be θεος (god), the last might be διχαζει (divide?).
Tbh just going off my intuition and the themes in other pictures in the book… the woman is poking the man with a stick with a heart-shaped ending, which could symbolise love/sexuality/marriage. So it could be like a caricature/“warning” showing a wife controlling her husband, literally pushing him around through emotional influence.
This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…
and then it will turn out the monster was inside me all along
there’s only seven stories in the world
There isn’t. That’s a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the “basic” stories and narrative structures (Propp’s model of fairy tales, Greimas’ actantial model, Campbell’s well-known hero’s journey), they’re all far from universally applicable or satisfying.
Yeah, I’ll shill for dbzer0 as the place to host the community.
It can vary from place to place…
The taxi driver knows where he is at all times. He knows this because he knows where he isn’t.
I get the frustration but it’s still funny.
Might be a dumb question, but what’s supposed to be wrong with 196 and its users??
“I Love Dick” is a pretty well-known book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Dick
More like “big copro”, amirite?
If the book is not that easily available (old, rare), it’s much better to keep it intact.
When I go to museums and galleries, it’s entirely typical for me to see like 2-3 people in the same area as myself. In one gallery that I used to frequent I was usually the only person inside at all.
2-3 people is certainly very far from a crowd.

I wish I could live somewhere where art galleries are crowded…
Look at the hands in the upper corners, looks pretty AI-ish.
