  • It’s on the other generations, too. It’s not going to end before we’re all dead. Passing the torch is barely functional, if a single generation fails to pick up the work set by the previous then our race will die out. Generations are generally better than their predecessors, but only because their predecessors mould them to fit the world they’ve created, and that work must continue for generations to come. They do not become the way they are on their own.

    The movie was marketed towards empowering women, but it was actually incredibly poorly written to the point that it makes women look bad.

    Like the plot is: that she’s incredibly powerful and special and perfect from birth and she defects from her organization and lands on earth in 1995 and fights all the aliens and wins, the end. But also there are a ton of plot holes: if Marvel gave Nick Fury the idea for Avengers Initiative in 1995 then why did it take him 17 years to begin the project? Also, Stark’s dad was stated to be a founding member of SHIELD which is where Nick Fury claimed to be very close with him, even though Stark’s dad died in 1991 but Nick Fury is shown to be a low level desk jockey in 1995? Plus the entire subplot with SHIELD and Nick Fury realizing the Aliens are a threat to earth and they need superhuman defenders is stupid because Nick Fury mentions he saw Thor fight in New Mexico the year prior, and SHIELD has had an alien corpse on ice since WWII, and he has also knowingly interacted with the Skrulls (main antagonists and also some of the protagonists of the Captain Marvel film) on multiple occasions before. Then on top of all of that, SHIELD started out post-WWII as a Hydra operation wherein the remaining members fled to the USA after the Nazis lost the war, but for some reason SHIELD barely exists at all in 1995 and most of their roles such as research on the Tesserract is being done by a joint NASA and USAF operation?!

    It feels like they just threw all that shit in at the last moment like “Yeah it was all Captain Marvel. She started everything. It was all her. And SHIELD were always the good guys, none of them were nazis.”

    But the real drama was how they marketed the film, again. They modified shots in the trailers, spread false stories and rumours, all of it was lies.

    I was surprised the Little Mermaid live action remake was so well received. Those live action remakes only even exist as a way to milk the older cows without paying royalties due to obscure Hollywood laws. I like Halle Barry’s acting too, but a 94% audience rating? The fuck?!


  • I’m a millennial and I’m constantly reminding them that their generation is fucked. We can joke about overreliance on screens but they actually require it to SLEEP…

    I think the strength needed to fix our world is completely lacking from first world children, that they instead escape into fantasy and whimsy and shut out the larger world. They get led around by the nose by propoganda and trends, by celebrity worship and corporate marketing.


  • The main factor for preservation is a lack of biological activity to break down the creature’s remains. If it’s incased in anything hot that cools quickly, has any antibacterial qualities, or even just the right amount of soil alkalinity then it can be preserved. For hides, though, it’s normally more of an imprint left behind than any recoverable bodymass.

    In fact, some fossils found in swamps have been almost perfectly preserved due to the Saponification of the oils and lipids in the carcass.

    In general, being covered by a wave of hot dirt like in my previous example would seal them up like a can of soup. All of the liquids and chunks would keep moving around until they settled, but any thick hides or bones might still leave recoverable fossils.
