Hey pal, you wanna march on D.C. to burn it all down and start over again from scratch and build the perfect utopia, I’m right behind ya.

I mean, look if we come up with that combination of technology then by all means let’s murder everyone who isn’t going to let us have our utopia.

That’s a pretty narrow view of “necessity”?

“We’ve flipped the compensation/necessity scale”

Work is necessary to survive, a fact is usually treated as immutable and immovable. “The social role of waged work has been so naturalized as to seem necessary and inevitable, something that might be tinkered with but never escaped

I still say that if she leans into her prison sentence and starts playing the villain in those films (or what passes for one) then she might even be able to turn the prison sentence into a bit of a career renaissance.

Maybe in some perfect world, combining them would work, but with the BSA’s chapter 11, it would be a monumentally dumb decision for the girl scouts to do that in any sort of legal way.

Mostly Joking: Elohim from the Talos Principle

Yeah. In one sense, TNT had a good notion of certain aspects of their target demo with that show. Middle aged dudes. Problem is that it was mostly middle aged dudes who enjoyed watching genre movies & action flicks all day on Saturday and who liked the rhythmical, manly-man drama of shows like Leverage or Dallas.

Are you referring to how tribal membership works or are you referring to the unspoken but obviously true fact that credit is lent to your work if you can claim the right identity? Seems like both apply here actually. The dumb part is that in her role on the doc she could have just identified as white and the work…

Oh you yoots and your redefining of words.  Being a “cuckold” is not always or even historically mostly a voluntary sort of thing.  

The thing is, what women like them go through in their middle ages could be interesting ground to cover, but there’s absolutely nothing in the latter part of the series or either of the movies to suggest they can figure out how to say those things.

Air fryers are handy in most typical families with small kids because it lets you turn frozen nuggets, fries, fish sticks or even wings into something that tastes better than warming then in the oven without the messy, stinky mess of actually frying them.  Instant pots are a good staple, especially in winter.  Slap…

The entire grocery market is something like $6 trillion and Whole Foods revenues are around $17 billion. That’s gnat-on-ass-of-an-elephant sort of scaling.

You aren’t the only one, but the metrics are the metrics, and the reason they’ve “pivoted” (I wanna barf a little saying it, but it’s a reasonable word to use) to having some video is that different kinds of engagement net more uniques.

Barrymore’s schtick this year sort of feels like she’s that one person at the all night frat house rager who’s still on her feet, dancing at full throttle, hours after everyone else has passed out. She flawlessly dances around the bodies strewn on the floor and puddles of vomit and piss, and when her friends wake up…

No youtubers screaming on an ipad, no wrestling from couch to couch, no nerf gun wars spilling over onto the middle floor. It was great.

He’s got a long way to go before he really has the degree of control (much less inflation adjusted wealth) that Rockefeller had at his peak. Wake me up when he’s trying to get the DoJ to let him buy Wal-Mart or Target. That would be starting to close in on that kind of control. Maybe if he bought a major nationwide…

In fairness, he chucked her under the bus so quickly at least in part because she cucked him. By “in fairness” there I mean to say that they deserve each other.

Nope.
