I didn't despite it, just was Underwhelmed and therefore Annoyed By The Hype, but I do not think Nosferatu (2024) is a very good movie and I'm in particular very annoyed by how it functions in conversation with other Nosferatu movies (it doesn't).

Just a quick reminder for anyone who needs it, Jack tries to get up on the furniture Rose is floating on and it starts to sink, and then there's a shot of him making the decision not to try again to keep her safe. Like, textually, the movie makes it clear they can't both get on it

yuri doesn't just make you human, it makes you very good at math apparently

Gengen Kusano (G.K.): I've been thinking, differentials really are yuri, aren't they.

Rikimaru Mizoguchi (R.M.): Differentials.

G.K.: Differentials, mathematical ones. Let's say we have a function. Like "X = 2Y". If you define one of the values, it defines the other one as well, right? In other words, one of them depends on the other. That's yuri, isn't it. A function is a pairing. You get it, right?

G.K.: A differential represents how f(x) changes with respect to changes of X. When one of the women is going through a change, how does that change her partner — to answer that you need to calculate the derivative of the function.

Iori Miyazawa (I.M.): Yuri can be represented with formulas, you're saying.

G.K.: You can model yuri with a differential equation. What do the function represent — for starters, mental state. Happiness, anger, there is a multitude of dimensions. X and Y, a function of the feelings of them both. A function that expresses what one of them feels when the other one experiences something. Or you can also represent various situations with functions. For example, how does one of them react when the other one calls her. What does one of them do if the other one gives her chocolate on Valentine's Day. Or maybe a probability space.

If one were to become a writer, what would happen to the other one — describing such counterfactual space with functions. In "Weak Yuri" these functions would define the theoretical parameters of the characters. The theoretical model of one of the characters contains mental states, possibilities, and situations that can be expressed with functions, as well as different functions regarding the other character's theoretical model. The relationships between these functions give birth to new functions. That is functional yuri, from my "Weak Yuri" standpoint. In "Strong Yuri", these functions all exist in reality.

I watched Generation Kill a while back (an HBO series based on a reporter's book about being embedded during the invasion of Iraq), and it's pretty good; something I really appreciated about it is the portrayal of the misogyny against female soldiers.

simultaneously true that athletic scholarship is a fantasy for almost everyone AND if you are competitive for a scholarship, the likelihood you lose out to a trans athlete is also essentially zero, given both the number of scholarships per year (~200k) and total trans athletes (max in the 100s)

I still consider myself a novice writer of fiction in many ways, but as I practice I find that the central learning of plotting a story is always that you've already planted the end in the middle, or even the beginning.

have realized (belatedly) that one reason new people in RPGs are often surprised at the lack of things like full-time jobs or internships or rigorous training is because the quality of game being made by “random untrained people doing their best between day job shifts” is in fact outrageously high

As a child I internalized a vision of corporations as amoral and often immoral actors who followed incentives ruthlessly. They chased profit and stock price with near-perfect effectiveness, and needed to be well-regulated to close down market incentives that would lead to bad outcomes, like monopoly
