People still like making donations so that they can get recognized by the streamer.

For Twitch as a whole, it tends to be the streamers that already make tons of money (through ads, subscriptions, and exclusive deals) that get all the big donations that they really don’t need (and in some cases don’t want), and if that money’s going to get donated, it would be put to better use being donated to a…

I’ve gotten to the end of Persona 4 four times:

Can I get wifi in purgatory?

So please explain what isn’t “vulgar” about portraying transpeople as mentally ill or lending succor to paedophiles and happily becoming the public face of a movement designed to remove rights of transpeople?

Yeah it’s the simplest trick in the book. It’s a fucking strawman (which isn’t just about inventing imaginary opponents like the crazy radical feminist that supposedly plague today’s movement but also inventing imaginary arguments). He acts like the argument was “she has no right to hold this opinion” instead of “this…

“Grand Hotel” is another example. Even with Eva Longaria producing, the show didn’t get a second season.

Does Univision not count as a network? Because even in chalky-ass Portland we can catch that OTA.

I don’t understand Twitch. It’s like someone opened a garbage store, then one day decided, “I can’t have all this trash lying around here!”

Always remember, HR only exists to help the company by dealing with the people that will hurt their bottom line. Sometimes (not nearly enough) this means that they get rid of the harassers, and far too often this means they get rid of the people that report the harassers.

You actually learned that in school? Around here it wasn’t until college that I read a history book that wasn’t full of mealy-mouthed “state’s right” bullshit. Zorn is right, but not in the way he thinks. If we actually taught the history of the Civil War properly, there wouldn’t be huge swaths of the population…

Slave masters and dead traitors. No other country romanticizes a group that tried to overthrow it like the US does. Oh and because it can’t be said enough...

America does teach the Civil War. The Southern states wanted to keep slavery, started a war over it and then lost.

No. There’s actually language in the will of the original creator that Sazae-san can NEVER be released on home video, though it seems streaming circumvents that, as they’ve been restoring old episodes and putting them up on Amazon in Japan the last few years. That’s also one of the reasons nobody’s bothered to import…

This sea bass is making is making me thirsty!

Some cursed switch in my brain flipped the other day and started reading all the fish and bug puns in a Seinfeld voice and I can’t make it stop

I clicked this with a morbid curiosity to find out what new offensive crap kids on the internet are trying to pull again...
