Is there a thing where parents are forcing their 3 year old children to watch the Amityville movies repeatedly and telling them that it’s true and good for them? I’m not sure where you are getting the idea that anything with “Amityville” in it is a family movie or is marketed as such.

Stories of people doing shit like this to children make be unbelievably angry. 

You respect brainwashing children to solidify a belief system that you don’t share? That seems like a...weird attitude.

Or that Adam Scott was moonlighting as David Tennant as Dr Who with a Chipmunk companion?

Jesus, I don’t know how that didn’t jump out immediately, but he really is real life Dr. Nick isn’t he.

1. This guy is a piece of work.

That is not the position he was in when the ball left his hand. When the ball left his hand his left foot was easily off the ground and he was standing on only his right which was clearly behind the line.

Very much like quitting Facebook. When someone makes a dramatic “I’m quitting Facebook because reasons!” post, I can almost promise they’ll be back in 2 months. I’ve basically faded from Facebook - I still have an account and I’ll sometimes go there b/c some of my friends manage event invitations through it, but I…

To be fair, not as dumb as the books did.

I had no idea who Ed Sheeran is (and still really don’t other than a musician I guess?) and nothing about the scene seemed out of place or bad. Maybe it would have been distracting if it was some musician I knew?

I mean, you could even just tell a child “he wanted to wear a dress because he liked the way it looked”.

Sure, but become “more famous” in service to what? Like how monatizeable is being “the guy who got beat up by assholes”? Maybe just being famous for famous’s sake was enough for him (I mean, the kardasians have basically parlayed that into a media empire).

“That jacket is magnificent.”

I’m confused now. In paragraph one you seem to agree that he’s talking about the media attention, something the police have little control over, then in paragraph two you seem to make an about face and imply he’s talking about crime in Chicago full stop.

Lolwut? You think the police have influence on what becomes a media storm? 

You should also fake a letter in which someone threatens to do that to you and forward it to HR.

Yeah, I was thinking it might make more sense as an anthology series, a la True Detective (the unevenness of the 2 seasons following the terrific first one notwithstanding). I don’t quite know how you dig back into those two characters without intentionally reversing the progress they made in the first season, which…

It is definitely not the point. Though it would have been nice if it *was* good so one could tell all of the trolls “hey, your loss.”

I think it was just a poor choice of phrase – point being that his problems are about dissatisfaction and ennui, not survival. That probably would be better described as “first world problems” rather than “caviar problems”.

I only saw this for the first time a couple years ago, which shocked people because I’m 45 and have worked in tech for most of my adult life, so it’s pretty much pinpoint aimed at me and everyone I knew had seen it.
