Yes, and, this? This is actually what an âif you liked that, maybe youâll like this!â algorithm is trying to replicate, in its own clumsy way. The basic idea is that, if you like Thing X, then you may like other things that people who liked Thing X also liked. Â
Only the algorithm has no actual reasoning ability, or understanding of what itâs doing--itâs just wandering around bumping into things, looking for patterns that sorta match. Like a sack of ferrets tracking a scent trail through a department store, and the store is trying to tell you that the ferrets are highly skilled personal shoppers.
AO3, on the other hand, is set up so that you can find out directly from other human beings who like Thing X, what else they liked. It probably wouldnât work in a department store--hence the sack-of-ferrets system--but fandom is a gift economy, so it does. Â

âAt this point, weâve all watched hundreds of programs with a limited selection of diversity. Honestly, supporters of black America are still trying to catch up with centuries of whitewashed television. Itâs evident that when someone goes through a list of classic TV shows, the actors range mostly from different shades of white.Â
Letâs take a brief dive into the history of television and two shows created almost during the same timeframeâŠÂ â Â
The Lost Cause: How Southern socialites rewrote Civil War history
helladea
Um yeah white womxxn got their rights like 15 years after black males. So um ok imma keep holding black males responsible. Why dont people hold them accountable? Nope never.
alwaysbewoke
look at this shit right here. white people are always willing to be ahistorical when covering their ass ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN. the fuck did black men (esp freed black slaves just trying to fucking survive) do to keep white women from getting shit??!! fuckouttahere chicken-neck bitch. that had fucking zero to do with black men, that was your fucking white men who didnât give two shits about you who did that shit. the fuck!!??
âimma keep hold black male responsibleâ shut the fuck up. hereâs some fucking history for your rhino looking ass. the constitution (have you fucking heard of it), gave WHITE PROPERTY OWNING MEN the right to vote. one more time for your donkey meth dick sucking ass, WHITE PROPERTY OWNING MEN. no a single black person (male or female) had any-fucking-thing to do with that shit in 1789.
it wasnât until the 41st us congress that black males got the right to vote via 15th amendment. you know how many black people were a part of that congress? that congress in 1869?! zero bitch! ze-fucking-o you inbred spam sandwich. the first black congressman didnât happen until 1870. you do know how to count right?
the 15th amendment was about the republican partyâs goal of making sure blacks could vote in the north AND the south since president grant at the time only won presidency because of the black vote in the south. you see the constitution gave individual states the power to set voting requirements. that why some states allowed black to vote while others didnât. however white men who still didnât respect women of any race decided to ratify the 15th amendment to allow for men to vote regardless of race or past enslavement. one more time for your before picture looking ass, these were all white men doing this shit in 1869 so how the fuck you talking about holding black men responsible? if we had so much power that we could give or take voting rights from white women, then how did poll taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses happen? these were enacted for the sole purpose to restricting the black vote esp in the south. most were in place until 1964. so black people had so much power to keep white women from getting voting rights and yet we kept poll taxes and shit in place harming us for almost a damn fucking century?! you walking ghost pale advertisement for condoms, how the fuck does that even make sense? where in your history book did you read that those racist white suffragettes were going around making pleas to black men? where? when? in fact that right to vote youâre so fucking proud of excluded black women and native women. native americans were not even granted citizenship until 1924. and, discriminatory jim crow laws, coupled with a resurgent and violent ku klux klan, had a firm grip in the southern states. african-american women in the deep south could no more exercise their right to vote in 1920 than african-american men after the passage of the 15th amendment in 1870. in-truth, you grotesque gargoyle, white women relied HEAVILY on racism to get their voting by making sure to exclude all non-white people from their movement. white men knew that they had a good system in place to keep the black vote suppressed but giving all women (including black women) the right to vote would undermine that hence why white women excluded black and brown people from their movement to reassure white fucking racists. if you actually took the time to do just a little study on the topic (i know thatâs hard for someone with the iq of a stepped on cockroach) you would see that white congressmen where doing everything they could to keep from giving yâall the right to vote because they didnât want black people to get more power. hell a mississippi senator named james vardaman wanted to give white women the right to vote and then repeal the 15th amendment, barring all ânegroes, both male and female, from the politics of america.â but you know, it was black males who were doing this right? you hideous three legged crack mule.
i could go on but iâve made my point. you talking cancer puss, get your fucking facts straight. your white sensitive ass need to just shut the fuck up and take responsibility from your racist ass ways. looking like pimple sperm. shut the fuck up.
iâll leave you with one final thought: everyone who ever loved you ever was 100% wrong. fuck you.
Learn to articulate how youâre feeling without accusing anyone of having bad intentions. You can say âIâm afraid of being aloneâ without saying âyouâre just going to leave me like everyone else.â You can say âI need some reassuranceâ without saying âyou probably donât love me anymore.â You can say âIâm afraid Iâve hurt your feelings and Iâd like to talk it throughâ without saying âyou donât even like me anymore.â You can say âI want to spend more time with youâ without saying âyouâve gotten tired of me.â You can say âI feel misunderstoodâ without saying âyou always judge me.â Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Have a conversation focused on finding solutions instead of escalating the conflict.
Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..
ches
Iâm sorry youâve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..
To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa. So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.
Luanda, Angola
Agadir, Morocco
Lagos, Nigeria
Cairo, Egypt
Port Louis, Mauritius
Abidjan, Cote dâIvoire
Algiers, Algeria
Tripoli, Libya
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Tunis, Tunisia
So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isnât some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.
I once was talking to my Ethiopian manager about ignorant people asking her dumb shit about her life before she moved to the statesâŠ
the worst story she told me about was when she told a fellow student (at a fairly prestigious university) about a concert she went to back home. The other student responded with âomg you have music there!?â đ€ŠđŸââïž
A redneck neighbor once asked my mom (in the 80s) if they had cars in Peru. Sigh.
This is the product of poor world history in school & little current affairs coverage outside Western Europe, except for catastrophes, so all we see are the war torn, poverty stricken, disaster-affected parts on the news. And racism, of course.
lettingitoutabit
I bet most Americans who think that African countries are just completely poverty stricken have no idea what the US looks like in its poorest areas, not everywhere in the US is nice suburbs or unrealistically large apartments on tv
it is the most wonderfully made, historically inaccurate, giddily fun, perfectly paced, goofy horror movie romance novel bullshit bonanza that has ever blessed the silver screen.
i mean it is just so beautifully full of every genre without being overwhelming.weâve got: comedy, action, suspense, horror, romance, adventure, ancient aesthetics, and itâs a period piece. all perfectly balanced and blended into one movie.
and the characters are so LIT
we got our main babe, evelyn âmotherfuckingâ carnahan, a super-klutz librarian, total history nerd, and certified badass/damsel in distress. she raises the dead on accident, because she cannot resist books, and has the guts to put that motherfucker back where he came from and literally saves the world.evieâs greatest hits:Â
âwhat is a place like me, doing in a girl like this?!â
*after totally destroying the library*Â âiâve just made a bit of a mess in the library.â
âno harm ever came from reading a book.â
evelyn:Â *upon opening the tomb* âiâve dreamt about this since i was a little girl.ârick: âyou dream about dead guys?â
then weâve got rickâbrendan fraserâ oâconnell, your not-so-typical battle hardened gun slinger with a heart of gold. he seems filthy, rude, and a complete scoundrel at first, but then he turns into a literal puppy, with massive heart eyes, that worships the ground evie walks on.rickâs greatest hits:
*screams at mummy*
*screams at sand*
*screams at things that are illogical to scream at*
next is our Comedic Relief Characterâą, jonathan carnahan, who also rises above his trope. heâs there for the laugh sure, but is never useless. he actively helps to move the plot along and isnât just there. he also is the farthest thing from brainless and annoying.jonathanâs greatest hits:
evelyn: âhave you no respect for the dead?âjonathan: âof course i do, but sometimes iâd rather like to join them.â same.
oh and that time he was like âIMHOTEPâ and saved his own ass like that was so smooth, yâall know what iâm talking about right??
then there is ardeth BAE. he is the audience rolling his eyes because *sighs* white people. heâs tired of these motherfucking mummies in this motherfucking desert. literally prettier than everyone.(he has a much bigger role in the mummy returns, but is still so fab here)
and of course THE MUMMY. imhotep. actual emo. literally carved some poetry into the back of his sarcophagus when he was buried alive with flesh eating bugs, because he is that Extraâą. just wants to bring his girlfriend back to life so he can make out with her without it being treason.Â
now i wanna take a moment to talk about the romance. because it is so BEAUTIFUL. like usually in action movies itâs macho man undermines girl and they bone. not here. no time for that shit.Â
rick and evie have such a great relationship based on mutual respect and affection. they both cater to each otherâs strengths and cover each otherâs weaknesses. they are the literally definition of:Â âthose two. in a fight, theyâre lethal. around each other, they meltâ
what else, i could literally talk about this movie all day.
the special effects have held up pretty well.the music score is GORGEOUS.the costumes are amazing.the makeup, especially for anck su namun, OH WOW.the george of the jungle era brendan fraser sign me the fuck up.rachel weisz.
so many good things.
itâs just great.
#i secretly rate every action movie from 0 to the mummy
itâs a beautiful mess of a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and transcends time and posterity as the alpha mummy movie, and to those who disagree i beseech you:
ââŠThere is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased..â - Roger Ebert
okay so since apparently iâm not the only one whoâs still obsessed with scandal, can we just talk about how amazing the writing was throughout the seasons? i have to admit s6 wasnât my fav but the storylines were still intriguing though i found the tony vargas one a bit repetitive. my all time fav episodes are definitely the ones that focus on one aspect of the plot (like 3x15 that focuses takes place in one single hour or the flashback ones god i love the flashback ones or the what if episode etc.) iâve watched pretty much every shondaland show and scandal is the absolute best. the characters are so complicated yet so realistic and relatable, the storylines are always different and the plot twists are mind blowing. they cover very important real life topics (sexism, r@pe, racism, ptsd, depression, toxic relationships, abusive parents etc.) and the actors are truly amazing, each one of them. itâs so clear that they all deeply care for each other and they all have such great chemistry (especially kerry and tony!!). shonda did a great job with this show and yet itâs probably the most underrated (i donât mind though, it feeds my individuality complex)!
