I think the idea is: OP wakes up, spends an hour in traffic, sits at a desk for 8 hours, spends another hour in traffic, and then sits in front of the TV until they pass out. And they’re amazed that not everyone lives that way.
The album was put out by Hands Productions, which has a bandcamp page, and another S.I.N.A album, Alte Liebe, is there, but Nie Unde Immer is not on the Hands bandcamp page.

Luckily, [her partner] Saul likes cooking. It’s going to be hard when he goes off on a short tour of Belgium and the Netherlands with his punk band in a couple of weeks. He will fill the freezer beforehand.
Futher evidence that aging punk rockers are usually awesome people.
I was also thinking AI-generated. Look at the swirly patterns at the bottom of the woman’s dress, the patterns surrounding the disk, and the “leaves” in the plant design in the lower left-hand corner. That all looks uncanny-valley-ish.
Arguably one of the best historical films ever made. At times it’s as if a news camera is actually there and recording what happened. By comparison, it makes the recent Napoleon film look like a cartoon. Most importantly, it makes the audience familiar with many of the key people and events of the French Revolution, which in...
Yeah, that’s a good point, there are a couple of parenthetical comments, I think they were made by the uploader. As I remember they were only in 2-3 places so they weren’t that distracting, but they helped to remind the viewer that no matter how objective a film may seem, by selecting the scenes that it shows and constructing the narrative that it does, it suggests an interpretation.
I don’t know much about the Terror and Robespierre, but there was a documentary that I found useful in hearing a couple of different arguments, BBC’s “Terror! Robespierre and the French Revolution”:
tbh the story’s not that great, I just wanted to post it to !cyberpunk and figured I’d post it here first and then crosspost, to advertise this community. (I don’t think it worked, though, I only got one upvote and one downvote there. out of 512 subscribers!) But the story’s kinda interesting as an early depiction of hackers in the cyberpunk subgenre.

Furiosa’s opening weekend numbers have been a point of discourse for many trades after its release. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Furiosa slumped to a $26 million gross between Friday, May 24, and Sunday, May 26.

A story absolutely is objectively measurable in a structural sense.
Hey, I’m a bit late to this discussion, but…
When I was in grad school I looked over the literature on discourse analysis. Basically, you get a bunch of people, you show them a text, then you ask them questions about how they perceive the narrative structure of the story. Usually you have a theory based on something like Rhetorical Structure Theory. You do statistics on their responses and measure agreement. You’re trying to find out if people will reliably agree on the structure of a text when they read it.
When people are reading certain types of highly-structured texts, people will generally agree on where the boundaries of the various components are. But that’s not the case for fiction. It’s hard to get people to objectively agree on the structure of a story.
However, you mention other features like number of shots and scene length, and those are very likely to have a high degree of agreement in human observers. It’s just important to keep in mind the difference between what we as an individual observer identify, and what a population of human observers identify.
(btw I agree that Fury Road is a killer movie, I totally need to see it again.)
