Cómo es que, con todo este talento, no haya llegado ningún equipo del sur de Asia?

Ya, pero tiene sentido causal: si los jóvenes no están trabajando, tienen tiempo para jugar fútbol. Quizá cuántos astros se están perdiendo trabajando por sueldo mínimo en un Oxxo en México...

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

I think that this is known as "delayed decoding" in literary analysis. The term was coined by Ian Watt in the '70s, don't remember the exact year, to describe a technique used by Joseph Conrad in Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, but a lot of writers picked it up. It's basically what you described: you present a detailed image but don't make its moral and psychological relevance obvious. You give facts but not their meaning, not until later, and the revelation can come directly from the characters who suddenly realize what they have observed or it can also be left in the text, to be understood by the reader. You can see why Modernists loved it!

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

This is trans joy!!!

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them

so it turns out that chemical runoff from ai datacenters is causing chromosomal defects in sheep populations, causing something like 95% of affected sheep to be born female

that's right: ai is to blame for the ram shortage

Talking to allo people who haven’t really interrogated how society has told them to view sex feels like that bit in SpongeBob where Patrick keeps failing to put his hand on the lid

Sex is just a thing. No it’s just an activity. It doesn’t have to be… no listen it’s just an activity. An activity. It’s just a thing. A thing. No it’s not the same for everyone it’s just an activity. No it’s a value neutral activity. An activity. An activity.
