There has been a fair amount of analysis of the social role of ‘true crime’ as a genre. To boil it way, way down, it’s about creating a representation of human evil to let people feel essentially righteous. It is peak centrism, uplifting the status quo by placing it as opposition to the unquestionedly heinous, and with it, current structures, like cops as law enforcement.

Sure, Mr. Eugenics. Sure we could.

Splitscreening is most of what your talking about but the particular thing of framed shots on a coloured background is something similar to ‘photo collage’ so 'd be video collage.

And that’s an availability problem. The advice you see most is directed at the general population, and therefor generic. If you want advice tailored to your specific context, you have to request and pay for it.

Dead internet theory is not just a hypothesis anymore. It’s an intentional business model. Enjoy what’s left of online human interaction. Soon, it will all be just LLMs siloing each user individually.

Umeboshi

I have to wonder if this neologism comes from something like either their parents not taking any vacations and so they never got the examples (‘Wait, you spend time with your kids?’) or from a cultural aversion to taking time off for oneself. (‘Taking time off? Sounds like someone’s not really committed to the success of the company.’)

You should check out some of the expansions. They might be more to your tastes than the free trial suggests.

I heard a discussion of the concept of an RPG setting where the world never made the jump to digital. The idea was to explore that alternative now based on a changed history. It included the idea of aliens that we’d only meet by having developed new technologies in the analog space, sapient, benevolent AI that only exist because of some different interpretation of intelligence in an analog space, etc.

The internet. We’d probably all be bettered off if we avoided it.

Automate

Not a complex thread either

Flow beginning>audio volume?(proceed: when changed, audio stream: alarm)>audio volume set(100%)>back up to audio volume?

Not rooted means you’d have to start automate after a reboot but otherwise no effort.

You wish it looked that cool.

Because they were all born in a time before electricity.

They do have to be good quality paints as some of the cheap ones are a bit gloopy, but otherwise very true.
