The term remained in use as a technical ethnic term in anthropological and historiographical literature into the late 1980s.

It's hard to fault him there in the early 1900s when it was an "accepted" scientific term until nearly a century later. Thank you for sharing that link 'cause that's a new one to me!

The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He's been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there's never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure's history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would've turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in "Innocent until proven guilty" ideal...

"Covenant" and "Prometheus" would've been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I've been turned off to all franchise "reboots". Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little "winks" these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Well this is neat - I think I found the "zoomed out" cutaway while I was looking:

Is there a key for the labels? I'm curious what all the parts are called.

Why I Prefer Minetest To Minecraft - YouTube in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 33 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you'd want to share with others to help them avoid the same mistake? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.

Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -

  • when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
  • How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
  • do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up

What's your auto-complete setup? (lemm.ee)
 

Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.

What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?

Manifesto (2015), dir. Julian Rosefeldt (i.imgur.com)
 

"Manifesto" has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There's some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett's incredible performances.

Highly recommended for folks that like "artsy" movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), dir. Tone Hooper (i.imgur.com)
 

~45 minutes in. This brief little moment with Leatherface might be my favorite scene in the movie. The way he lumbers to the window, glances anxiously outside, and puts his head in his hands... without a word we see a glimpse of his humanity. Is Leatherface a psychotic murderer, taking joy in killing these teens? Or is he the homemaker, protecting his family's property from these strangers who barged in? What's actually going on in his head?

Love this flick.
