TIL 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in succession, then the baseball commissioner voided her contract, declaring baseball "too strenuous" for women.

Admittedly, TIL Lou Gehrig was a baseball player and not just someone with a disease.

It's not as smart as Max Headroom or Pi. It's kind of somewhere between Tetsuo (Iron Man or Body Hammer, take your pick) and the Cyber Razor Cut advert. But it's certainly going to stick in my mind, I suspect.
It's no surprise to see the reviews are a tad polarising. ๐

Ha, I *thought* that was the captain of Red Dwarf! Finally I recognise an actor. ๐

I was expecting Hardware to be like a low-rent version of The Terminator, which it essentially is, but aesthetically it's a lot closer to Max Headroom, which I also love.
It's very stylised, like an epic music video. One of the most aesthetic films I've ever seen.

I get it now. She not only looks similar (apparently), but also calls him Joe, casting doubt on whether anything his Joi said to him was real.

I didn't even remember her being naked. Or having black eyes. ๐ I remembered the blue hair! But yeah, I see someone with different hair or make-up, to me, they look like a completely different person.
This is also why I can't imagine Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow are the same person.

OK, looking at the script, it makes a lot of sense, and I missed a lot of subtext and also text. ๐
I'm also terrible with faces. I didn't even realise she was also the protagonist of Knives Out.

For anyone curious, I think stims are explained well by Sydney Zarlengo, including how they differ from tics and compulsions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PJQ...

I also recommend Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, for more scientific shenanigans.

It's important to figure out when it's a good idea to do things merely well enough, instead of exceptionally well. Not everything needs to be exceptional.
It can also be useful to commit to bad first drafts, decent final drafts, and only doing things for a few minutes at a time.

You end up drowning in the sea of mediocrity which everyone else happily wades through, seemingly unware of its myriad shortcomings. Nothing you do is ever good enough, and nothing anyone else does is good enough, either.
Having perfectionism is not desirable.

At home, you might refuse to delegate any work to electricians or plumbers, as in your experience they similarly don't do a good enough job. It's like no-one else cares enough.
Making even an insignificant purchase can involve days, weeks, or even months of research, trials, returns, and refunds.
comment in response to

Perfectionists inevitably end up doing other people's jobs for them, so that they're finally done well enough. At work, you might end up redoing the tasks haphazardly completed by your co-workers, your boss, or your employees, just so it's good enough to integrate with your own contributions.

As with ADHD equally tugging you in countless directions at once, perfectionism can lead to you amassing a wealth of promising yet incomplete and ultimately abandoned projects.
comment in response to
post
Perfectionism would seem to cluster with autism and perhaps ADHD, conspiring to produce people who work alone, ignore received wisdom, work things out for themselves from first principles, make things finer than anyone else, then neglect to show them to anybody.

I just want them to act translations of the proper Japanese dialogue... but with the British music!
(Thinking mostly of Cyber City: Oedo 808 here...)
comment in response to

Yeah, same here... I didn't know what was good back then!
And not just censored, also dubbed by British voice actors trying to sound American in Japanese media, but still using phrases like "Fucking hell!"

Thanks! Yeah, I like that one. I'm probably better at making sounds than making tunes, so the remixes tend to go especially well. ๐

Hmm... Are you the other Jason Scott? Did I remix you or someone you hired a while back? Cracking little tune, that...
