Jesus Christ man, look up “straw man fallacy”. Stop making people defend points they were not, in fact, making.

That is not a remotely relevant question. The question is “how much less would the company make if they replaced them with a chief executive who made, let’s say $300k”. Their having founded the company could not be less material.

I saw Ford Fairlane in the theatre, and let’s see I would have been 16 I guess. I remember thinking it was all right. To be fair I was probably still reading Piers Anthony unironically so my taste may have been terrible.

I think you need to rewatch Superman IV just to remember how very terrible it is.

Christ, I saw families with 4 and 5 year olds when I went to Deadpool. I kept waiting for them to get up and leave as it started to dawn on them that this wasn’t The Avengers, but they stayed there the whole movie. I’m not exactly pearl-clutching about protecting the children, but jesus, I guess if you *want* your 4-5…

I think “clever” is the wrong word. “Tonally witty” maybe?

I read then in my late 20s and I enjoyed them. To be fair I was pretty philosophically aligned with Pullman (I still am, though a bit more nuanced about it now that I’m in my early 40s).

Yeah, but it couches it in this ridiculous “if you put thoughts about what you want to be in the universe the universe will make you that thing” language (since “you’ll do better if you stay positive” can’t really be peddled as a “secret”).

/me immediately thinks of some horribly tasteless examples

Sure, but the answer (like the answer to, you know, just about everything) is “it’s complicated”. It’s not like that advisor (or anyone else) could just answer “weak dollar good, strong dollar bad”.

Yeah. I mean I worry in general about the lack of young democrats that seem very exiting. The ones that actually galvanize people are Sanders and Warren. Where is the next Obama/Bill Clinton (excitement-wise, not necessarily policy-wise)? I know Corey Booker wants it to be Corey Booker but...I don’t think it’s Corey…

Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’d love it, but I have known too many 70 year olds who seemed sharp as a tack and were visibly slowing down 4-5 years later, and she’s in a very high-stress, high-pressure job.

I’m not worry about her being “not pure enough”, I worry about her being “not young enough”. Trump is the oldest president ever at inauguration. Warren would be year older.

“yea well says you” was probably “I don’t want to get into a political discussion with a customer,” not “I am a Trump supporter” (unless he added anything else there). What was he supposed to say? “You’re totally right lady. You know what, I’m quitting this job.”

AND EMAILS!

#NeverForget

It’s better than I remember. But I thought it was awful at the time.

Ugh, the 1989 batman movie was the first time I remember being disappointed by a movie (I was 16). I’ve rewatched it since and while there are certainly some cool things (especially if you remember this was before Tim Burton had, well, Tim Burtoned all over everything), I still find the love that movie gets hard to…

I’d feel so much better right now if I had a plausible answer to that.

Well, they probably make a big show of repealing one or two things that were particularly heinous and then leave everything else in place, establishing a ‘new normal’ that’s 25 yards to the right. Ugh.
