That could get super-exploitative. Imagine a young actor desperate to break in, who signs over their likeness for sequels as part of getting the role. The movie’s a big hit, and then the studio has a ton of leverage to get them to return for cheap instead of negotiating for more - if they refuse, they’ll fire them and…

The possibilities for harassment, abuse, illegality and corruption is mind boggling. I’ve never once considered this a fun piece of technology no matter how often Nicholas Cage’s face was transplanted - but a chilling harbinger of things to come. Imagine an dictator or authoritarian country with this power; democratic…

The last episodes really annoyed me. I can’t remember exactly where but there was a point that felt like a good ending to me some episodes before the actually last one. I actually re-watched the entire thing and stopped where I thought it should have stopped. Felt very satisfactory and I pretty much can’t remember the…

I never understood why the NES always had them the wrong way around

Honestly, it doesn’t sound like you dealt with it much at all.

What? It’s been A MONTH

I think people would be happier if they just reveled in actually being the asshole rather than trying to figure out if they were the asshole.

I am struggling very hard to understand, as another old white guy, why this is even a consideration. These kids did an amazing thing. Why is race even on your radar?

From a NY outsider perspective

I’ve been watching Samsung’s foldable OLED display tech with interest, because I could really see it being used in a 3DS replacement- imagine instead of dual screens, it has one long foldable screen... ideally it would also include removeable joycons that can slot in either in a horizontal or vertical orientation.

I’ve been using the web since 1995, and in that time, I can honestly say that I’ve never stumbled upon child pornography.

Fair enough... I didn’t want to come across as shrill or internet-angry, it just made me go “Oh, damn...” 

“I have something to say,” said Hillary Rodham Clinton,

It was really cool how Seattle wanted to tax enormous businesses just a liiiiiiittle bit to help fix our shameful, soul-crushing homelessness epidemic and Amazon (read: Bezos) threw all their weight behind the opposition. So cool. I love having an enormous parasite in my hometown. Like a tapeworm, it helps keep us…

with a lot more interesting ideas baked half-baked into its runtime

For what it’s worth, I always thought it would be interesting to see Eternal Sunshine’s mind erasing journey from the POV of Kate Winslet’s character when she had her mind erased... there would certainly be major memories that both versions share in common, but she would have other, unique memories that defined their…

It lists exactly one non-evil reason for this technology:

sorry, could you repeat that? i couldn’t hear you through your hood

Wait, you’re telling me RuPaul is...kind of an asshole? Well, folks, my flabber is fully gasted on this one. Someone fetch me a fainting couch.

The winner was the person Ru decided was the winner from the first episode? REALLY??? NO WAY!!!!
