Loosely related, but I remember renting a movie on my xbox one, only to be told that it couldn’t be played because of some kind of incompatibility with my HDMI cable. Talked to support. They couldn’t explain to me what kind of HDMI I actually needed to make it work and also told me that I would not receive a refund.…

Like if it was some kind of short-form documentary, I would’ve immediately understood. It’s been pretty well explained to me how it works at this point, but like you said, an 8 episode mini-series just feels a bit icky.

Well there's talking about a person and then making a mini series about them. 

I don’t know that having a stroke is equivalent to what most would call being a “vegetable”. He still had his mental facilities. But he certainly wasn’t not up for the physical demands of the job. 

Okay, that clears up a lot. Thanks for taking the time to type it up for me.

Wait, people can just make and sell media about a specific person without compensating or even getting approval from that person? I’m gonna need someone smarter than me to explain how that works.

Just to note, there are plenty of decent Taylor Swift jokes out there that aren’t at her expense.

I’m not one of those tough guys that refuses to cry. I have a tough time with grief. Both my own and seeing it in others. So it was tough watching that video of Taylor accepting the award on her husband’s behalf. Glad I did though.

Yeah, I found out about all the deaths that have happened at these events after some googling about it after posting about this. Whatever happened to just finding out the sex at the ultrasound? 

Had to do some googling, but you may be right. There are no health requirements for holding Presidential office. As long as he’s not a vegetable, he could get back in there. 

Dude has McDonald’s for blood. Even if he isn’t dead by then, I can’t imagine his health being up to snuff enough for political office. I’m expecting at least a stroke by then.

It’s not a huge problem really. Awards and such are just fine, like I said. I just don’t see the need for the extravagance and show. Lot of industries have multiple awards ceremonies that don’t make a huge production about it. I recognize the difference in that acting is a very public industry. But does every aspect…

Sadly, no way to know really without seeing the receipts.

Yeah, Tina and Amy are pretty great.

I usually just consider Hollywood awards shows the “Look at us pat ourselves on the back” awards. Rewarding things is just fine I suppose, but I don’t feel they need to spend god-knows how much money on an event where actors and actresses thank people for giving them an award for job they got massively overpaid for.…

My wife likes watching Korean dramas. I think the closet she came to enjoying something like this was Scandal, which I also indulged in with her.

Okay, I read that whole Demi Levato article and the instagram post and I am no wiser as to how gender reveal parties can be transphobic. I have no idea how any of this works to be honest. Is gender identity not something that is determined by the individual at some point during their life? If so, does that make it bad…

If someone else was footing the bill, I'd probably be trying the higher end as well.

I mean, he could theoretically not make official sequels and just keep extending the synder cut every other year.

Have you told those fans about the term “Boom Tube”? Equally, if not more, hilarious.
