So, unless there’s some twist we aren’t expecting, this seems a bit.... anemic to me? Like “What if Superman was evil?” strikes me as a passing stoned thought and not an idea that has some deep and meaningful subtext.

I mean, his weakness will obviously be straight up kryptonite, right? Like, the odds are very likely that his mom lures him to the crashed ship where it all began and stabs him with a piece of glowing rock or an actual piece of the ship, right?

I can’t wait for the balls to the wall action sequence taking place during the Puppy Bowl.

It might have been a disaster, but at least it would have been interesting.

Yeah. I mean, these things were humanizing. They reminded us that movies and TV shows are fun things created by people who are having fun and make mistakes. And noticing these tiny little bloopers was a fun bit of trivia you could share with friends to show what a superfan you were.

The level of entitlement from the…

My understanding is that they’d be bundled together into a single transaction. A number of attempted transactions in a short period of time is a typical flag for fraud, and my guess is that Epic is using a typical fraud prevention template that doesn’t account for the... unique peculiarities... of their storefront.

I think it’s endemic of this notion that film is a product to just be consumed.

Like, my parents would never re-watch a movie for any reason, and they always talk exclusively in terms of the plot. I find it to be pretty strange myself.

Yeah. I mean, I think Endgame and Infinity War were cultural events. It was a shared moment in the public consciousness where a decade of engagement in a grand exercise of film making reached its apex point.

But in two decades, are we really going to have that many people ready to sit through 40 hours of film for the…

And here I thought we could at least all agree that a lobster roll is a sandwich.

It’s called the public market for a reason.

Corporations on the scale of CFA have outsized influence on political policy making, and we the people have the power to collectively decide who we want represented in our public spaces.

But way to take an ethically courageous stand in favor of false equivalencies.

The KKK, Christian Identity extermist movements, countless abortion clinic bombers, Anders Breivik. There has long been a correlation between Christianity and violent white nationalist movements. Are there plenty of lovely, thoughtful Christians? Of course. I know many of them.

But a certain brand of Christianity has…

Wait, slow down! So you’re saying upgrading gear from, say, 50 to 55 costs as much as 50 to 75?

I just hit level 50, and I was excited to start collecting the remaining cultist sets believing that I wouldn’t have to worry about constantly upgrading them.

Did your sense of self-superiority develop with age too? Or are you just particularly passionate about defending Dave’s honor (and I should note, I like David Letterman. I used to watch him all the time when I was a dorky kid, which was a long time ago at this point)?

I mean, I don’t think using dramatic certainty as a…

Wow! Cogent analysis!

“Pro-choice people just want women to have the choice to end a pregnancy. Anti-choice people just want them to not! Why are we all fighting!?”

Yeah. I was going to say something so mean to them, but then I realized that they’d given me so much joy with that comment that I couldn’t, in good conscience, be cruel.

I mean, I kind of want to be a pajama boy? Maybe I am a pajama boy. Regardless, I’m skeptical of anyone who doesn’t hear the phrase “pajama boy” and think “Huh, that sounds kind of nice”.

That’s not the impression I got from the interview, but it was an admittedly short clip.

And it’s not like his being horrible as a human and horrible at his job aren’t related to the actual impact he has on quality of life. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Letterman’s comment doesn’t read to me as a call for more…

Yeah. That’s not great.

The only exception being a couple of jobs I worked at where I really didn’t care about my reputation or promotion potential whatsoever. You’d have managers doing the whole passive-aggressive “You don’t have to come in, but we could really use you,” bit, and I’d just be like “Awesome. I’m gonna…

I mean, I’m not sure doing away with weekend and evening hours entirely is absolutely necessary. Time and a half and double time is something that employees often want, and I know I’ve been in that situation before.

I think the situation is how vague it all sounds. When you suggest crunch but make it non-mandatory,…
