Also indicating not much advantage: the reaction to his “Let Me Be Frank” video.

The judge then instructed the defendant that he could not, in fact, be "spanked until his ass cheeks were raw,” and that any punitive actions would be determined at the (potential, yet utterly inevitable and deserved) sentencing phase. 

It’s...not supposed to be?

Damn what a way to say ‘durr I don’t understand these big words.’ They’re not even very big or showy!

I kept up with that thread, and I disagree with your characterization of what went down, but whatever, arguments happen. However, I’ve since noticed you picking fights and getting into these sorts of flame wars practically everyday and that’s where the trollish behavior comes in. You can choose to interpret the…

They commented, with no self awareness

So you are saying the solution is to kidnap both of them and drop them on an island and it runs off Thunderdome rules?  

It’s in the article. It’s green makeup and it’s because she just sung a Wicked song.

Weird how Ryan Coogler got nothing but praise for jumping to well-known big budget IP and bringing his credibility to it while the female director gets dragged.

I like your apple analogy.

I was going to quip that Little Women was also “adapted IP” but turns out that book’s in the public domain now, so. 

Well said. I agree catching up with Carmy, Sydney and all at once (among other points made...especially the sliding scale point). I binged the whole thing in a couple of days. Which...I like to do. Shoot me. Saloni’s (and other commentor’s) points are valid though upon reading. When I first read the headline, I was…

I’d rather complain than engage with the bad content as though it’s passable (that Bear article is a dumping ground for sentence fragments and comma overuse). Or, even worse, scold people for wanting something better.

That makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!

“because our binge brain is broken”

I don’t think anyone is surprised; they’re just complaining about the status quo in the comments because, well, it’s one of the few venues there is for venting their spleens about this issue in a place where anyone else might notice or care about it.

It’s not even a social challenge; it’s not something you put someone up to or have to “complete.” It’s a joke, more of a meme format than anything.

There’s also this https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/secret-invasion-ai-opening-1235521299/

which at least floated the idea that this was all bullshit and no humans were harmed financially.

The whole kerfluffle seemed to have started when a producer used “AI” a bit carelessly when he meant “Computer program…
