I think it’s not quite that; they’re angry that being not-trans should have its own word, because it’s the God-given right of not-trans people to NOT have a label, because “no label” means “normal”. It’s called the distinction between “marked” and “unmarked”. Note for instance how we nowadays disfavor words like…

Well then, you modify your BEST(tm) metric to incorporate that.

GSnyder’s posting addresses that: half the time is the “there is none” case, and then you’ve lost.

Because the question is not “when you’re ahead, what should you do”, the question is “what should your strategy be before you start, given that you may never be ahead.”

In Dammit Barry’s defense, you can see his logic: since the video footage was just unscrambled that day, the change “made no difference” in a very Schrodinger-like way.  It didn’t matter until you could see it.  Sadly he didn’t understand the “rules” well enough.  

I think it’s also the longest any one alternate version gets shown on screen during that sequence, which is really nuts.

Is he not being paid enough by Spotify to tell us his best stories? 

“the studio’s current slump, which kicked off in earnest when bosses at Disney started shoveling the company’s movies on to streaming services as blatant Disney+ bait during the pandemic lockdowns”

That and the Kraken thing whose trailer I’ve seen a couple of times definitely look like “ChapGPT, summarize a Pixar/generic kids’ animated movie”

My new theory having just seen it is that they gave up at some early point on avoiding Keaton spoilers, simply in that if you don’t know it’s him, I don’t think you’d recognize him in his first few shots under all the facial hair.

I was visiting my mother a few weeks ago and we stumbled onto the end of Man of Steel; she watched it for a few minutes and was vocally angry at it, and me for “making her watch it”, for the rest of my visit.

Having just seen it, the answer has a simple metaphorical description and I admire how it cuts through the Gordian knot that always comes up in this kind of story where you feel like you have to explain how the small change you made caused all the entertaining changes when you get back to your own timeline.  In the…

No, because it’s the evaporation of the gel that has the effect.

Explanation accepted!

The trailer is on YouTube, and annoyingly the Bates character introduces herself as “yes, Matlock, just like on the old TV show” — which undermines any attempt at saying “this is a show with, we hope, similar appeal” and leaves you with only “IP! Amirite?!”

Hand-waving madly here, but how do you inject ads into an API’s results without getting into an arms race with API users who filter out the ads?

Yeah, I’m very pro-writer, by inclination and by heritage (family members), but I keep seeing this stupid complaint. “The headline shouldn’t say ‘SHOW SHUTS DOWN PRODUCTION BECAUSE OF STRIKE’, it should say ‘SHOW SHUTS DOWN PRODUCTION BECAUSE STUDIOS DON’T PAY WRITERS ENOUGH’, and this just proves that the press is…

Or The Prestige, which, on rewatch, tells you about a dozen times what’s going on but you don’t realize what you’re being told.

The first obvious answer is that this feature will be opt-in on a per-caller basis — that is, I have to mark each contact that I want to be allowed to push image or text.

Incidentally, the Doc Ock in the game is also top-tier; he probably wouldn’t exist as such without the Molina performance, but still.
