“This seems like a scheme to not pay the talent behind these programs what they are owed in residuals.”

On the Distraction podcast (from Defector) with Adam Conover as guest where he goes into it. Michael Schur was on a few weeks before, but the sentiment is the same. The people in charge now, the investor class, don’t give a shit about the product. They care about maximizing revenues and profits. These aren’t movie/TV…

Shouldn’t his expensive broadcasting equipment be confiscated to pay the victims of Sandy Hook?

And I never suggested it was the cops shooting an unarmed black man, did I? I’m talking about them trying shift blame for shooting the kidnapping victim, not the kidnapper.

Really goes to show you the amount of hate Black folks get, and just how much we have to turn the other cheek WITH GRACE in the face of such hate. 

I like how you just slide right on over and past literally one of the most important and biggest sticking points in this whole discussion, which is the rights of the artists on whose backs this derivative, hacky garbage is being spit out.

There is no “conversation”. You don’t use existing artworks from living artists to train these things on without the artists' express permission. Full stop.

short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times

It would seem that the most practical way to address this is to only consider actual USD that entered the FTX system as “currency”, and to consider any crypto tokens as $0 USD. Counting crypto as actual “money” just obscures the truth. So, if you invested $10M in USD, you are a creditor of that amount. Whatever these…

“navigating fanbases that often perceive any kind of difference in localization as censorship”

Okay, but the difference is nobody at those stores was expected to be keeping an eye on you and the place your parents actually left you at was an arcade, a place that’s explicitly designed for people to hang out at for more than the duration of a shopping trip.

This is definitely a problem in retail, but I think bookstores and video game stores (also toy stores, but they’re increasingly rare) come in for the worst of it. This has been going on at GameStop for well over twenty years; it was a problem when I worked there under EB Games! Reading over some of the suggestions, I…

Oh, just one more thing. About those beads: you said they were your wife’s. Well, the strange part is I distinctly remember her saying she doesn’t like butt stuff. I figured maybe she was just embarrassed to admit it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So we checked her phone, and do you know what we found? No…

Yeah that was emotionally brutal even by gundam standards. 

Definitely not a vampire

I’m pretty sure they are just trying to keep it secret for now.

Oh, we all know how Quantum Leap ended. Sam ends up doing janitorial work in a Philadelphia nursing home.

Fastastic 4ious...

Yeah, but we’re talking about Florida Man here. More time spent in a movie chair is less time snorting meth and assaulting alligators. Better for everyone that way.
