“sex scenes have no narrative purpose” is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
“what’s the purpose of sex scenes in media??” well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even
yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
you genuinely think that “the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that’s the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I’m talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I’m talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I’m referring to when I’m arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that “well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X? J
who is the ‘real’ you do you think. is it the version of you that exists in your own head. is it the version of you that exists in the head of others. is it the way you are understood and interpreted by those closest to you. is there really an objective true self if no one can objectively perceive it? much 2 think about
i think about this a lot being a person with a ‘public persona’. because i naturally can’t (and don’t necessarily want to) show everyone online the full breadth of who i am as a person, the way i’m perceived by a lot of people oftentimes feels wildly at odds with who i actually am. even just in cute small inconsequential ways! i got a lot of messages being like ‘omg i expected you to have nice handwriting’ which is not a bad or upsetting thing, but is just so interesting to me because i take it as so self-evidently true that i had this school experience of being a neurodivergent kid with illegible handwriting who a lot of teachers did not like, but that part of myself clashes with the public perception of me from a lot of people. or there are people out there who just absolutely fucking hate me and have cast me as representative of a lot of problems, who ascribe beliefs to me that i don’t actually hold. i’ve found myself caring about it a lot less lately, but it’s still interesting to me that there’s this self that exists outside of me, a completely different way i’m perceived than how i actually am. but is how i consider myself ‘how i actually am’ the truth? like… i perceive myself in a particular way, but i certainly can’t be objective about my ‘true self’, right? or am i the only person who can be objective about my ‘true self’ because i’m the only person who has access to my thoughts and my inner world? or is the access to those things just a muddying factor that makes it harder to perceive who i factually am? i guess i’m leaning toward the true self being you as interpreted by your closest loved ones, but it kind of fucks me up that any version of the self, even the self as perceived by your own consciousness, is filtered through some level of interpretation. there’s no such thing as an objective experience of the self, right? who am i to make more definitive claims about who i really am than anyone else who’s known me? it’s wild
Okay, Ms. Z? I think Emily needs to sit you down for a Neon Genesis Evangelion marathon.
this is the only reason i get news notifications on my phone
okay but they actually had a very calculated disregard for speed limits?
some of the quick facts:
- average speed of 103mph (165kmh) including the 22.5 minutes of refueling - reached cruise speeds of 160mph (258kmh) - 700 horsepower from various upgrades
- built-in Net Radar radar detector
- windshield-mount Escort Max 360 radar detector - AL Priority laser jammer system - aircraft collision avoidance system
(for finding highway patrol aircraft)
- brake lights and tail lights disabled - vinyl trim used to make the rear lights resemble a honda accord (and not a race-ready mercedes) - 2 ipads for additional police tracking - 2 GPS systems to prove their record
- police scanner - CB radio - 18 spotters along the route to watch for police - and my personal favourite, a roof mounted set of thermal binoculars
And that’s the way to do it.

I’m amazed they were able to beat the old cannonball record
Apparently, they had cops helping keep the other cops away, they did this by convincing them that they would do it regardless and helping would be safer, and if they set a crazy enough record it would deter other people.
The speed discrepancy between the top speed at almost 200 and average speed of 103 is because they dropped it with other cars nearby, which was also a strategy to not get reported and stopped.
It was not a Mercedes it was an Infiniti Q50 modded with a GT-R drivetrain which was set up for multiple drivers with a MIDDLE seat like a McClaren F1? I cannot find pictures unfortunately.
The original interview says they had a fucking smoke screen if they got chased even. Recommended by his therapist apparently?
I think my favorite part was he is agnostic so he prayed to every god just in case. All of them he could find. Just to cover all the bases.
