They were likely also frustrated that Seth was funny, which was clearly not the vibe they were going for with the host and sketches they planned for the night.

You’ve never let external expectations put you in situations that you weren’t comfortable in? 

He probably actually did them a favor by addressing the elephant in the room and forcing them to have Reggie Watts explain the precautions that were taken, he knew the home audience would be thinking “uhh, this looks like a super-spreader event” the whole time otherwise.

The virus is airborne. If you’re in the same room, it kinda doesn’t really matter how far away you are.

The guy clicks on the article, comments on it, and then claims he doesn’t care about this. People are so weird. 

Good for Rogen. To be fair, if he was serious about his comments, he wouldn’t have been there in the first place. But I was glad he said it, because it needed to be said.

Good. You should feel uncomfortable.

Baller move. Yeah, don’t tell people things will be outside and then just construct a building in an outdoor space. That just makes it inside again! I’ve seen so many restaurants do this - offer outdoor space, then essentially build another building in the street with four walls and a ceiling. You just recreated…

Consoles require constant hardware updates, they have awfully long Day 1 patches, require setting up Internet settings to do anything at all...

I mean, were they anticonsumer? Most people seemed upset over the media focus (being able to use your Xbox as tv guide, for example) instead of being focused on games.

The main argument in favour of the consoles is simplicity. I do IT stuff for a living, and even for me, PC gaming is a ballache sometimes.

Really, the only spec that’s better on PS5 is the speed of the SSD. That’s fine, of course, but it’s not exactly a tit for tat vs having 20% more GPU power and more CPU power.

I agree with what you said, but it’s the Xbox Series X that has the slightly better specs, not the PS5, but the difference is pretty negligible.

I’ve never understood why Sony and Nintendo are just so anti-consumer friendly, and seem to just make everything more difficult than it needs to be.

“Language is not math. Negatives do not cancel out, they are for emphasis.”

You used to be able to get screaming deals on Ebay by searching for common mispronunciations and misspellings. Searching for stuff like “Apple labtop” meant you were bidding against practically nobody, because it wouldn’t appear very high in normal searches for an “Apple laptop.”

I think search algorithms have improved…

Cultural evolution only resembles biological evolution by analogy, and not at all by its function. There is considerable evidence that the evolution of language does not follow any sort of “fitness” principle the way that biology does. In other words, this is exactly what “evolution” in the broad sense looks like for…

Sometimes it’s the exact opposite of what you claim, and the “correct” (i.e., historical) pronunciation is the one used in AAVE and maybe if we didn’t treat “educating” as “elitist” we could put these uppity white people who don’t know the proper way to ax a question in their place.

Reading this list, I was like, “Does anyone really say “Doggy dog???”
