I suppose I wouldn’t classify them as adventure and instead fantasy, as the shows I know of tend to stick to a central location and I don’t think Supernatural qualifies as YA (or at least almost none of the characters were even under 25). I’m not sure I can come up with a popular YA adventure show of any kind off the…

Whenever I hear about the degree requirement it just makes me think of my friend who manages a cell phone store mostly because he has a degree. While he’s technically competent and the store does well, he jumped 2 people with more experience who should have been a manager, but having a bachelors mattered more than…

CW has basically been living off YA fantasy the last decade, so it certainly can be done. However, they followed the episodic format, so there was a mini adventure every episode while National Treason was quite bland those first few.

Disney is arguably the biggest reason that copyright laws extend so long now. They started that back when Mickey was supposed to be in the public domain the first time. 

When photos don’t seem like they align with the story, the most common excuse is that was the best photo available for use without additional licensing. That is especially common when dealing with non-American or non-major brands.

Because recovering stolen cars requires government resources to deal with it. 

It can both be true that western companies made bad long term business decisions by going all in on cheap SEA labor and also that China has done the best job of taking advantage of that greed in order to become a global economic power.

This may be due to the high belt line, but it is definitely grill heights. They are literally killing more people and block everyone’s view (both the drivers and other people trying to see around it). 

Consumer Reports confirms that luxury and near luxury SUVs are well liked.

The reason companies like to go to arbitration is that it prevents class action lawsuits and requires individuals to take on corporations behind closed doors. Their excuse is that arbitration is faster and easier (therefore cheaper) than a court case and helps prevent bogging down the court system with tons of civil…

Because it tricks people into thinking that it is and we have weak consumer protection laws. 

Because very few people are willing to simply part with cash because they think research is good. It’s far easier to raise money if there can be some type of reward tied to it, such as getting likes on the internet or walking around town with your friends. Is it stupid? Mostly. Is it necessary in order to generate a…

OK, fine, you’re The Daily Show. Dismissed.

It’s not that they don’t have billions, they just don’t have it in cash, therefore, it’s impossible to pay taxes on it (or at least anyone to understand how it is possible). I’d be shocked if more than 25% of adults understood that it actually is possible to tax forms of wealth that are not just cash income or…

They get away with it because Full Self Driving is the software’s name, not the operating promise. Lots of text in their disclaimer that it is not fully autonomous and drivers must remain fully alert at all times. 

There is no chance I will trust a $40k+ purchase on any automaker’s in house software. There are a lot of cell phone options and they literally change annually. Apple is well known for not playing with others and this guy wants us to believe the GM will dedicate resources for decades to both advance what will be and…

Napster is a pretty good example, but from a short Google search, it looks like Napster peaked at 80 million users while TikTok is pushing a billion, so that’s a huge difference. The whole downloading market got attacked, so there was minimal opportunity for users to just migrate, so that mitigates the numbers. I do th…

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Has something this popular and accessible ever just been outright banned before? There are probably viral tiktoks right now that talk about how to get around bans and that could become its own ‘challenge’ type thing.

Perhaps require the GPS be on, similar to sports gambling sites. Then just fight anyone who actually bypasses it, gets caught, and results in any action 

Can we just get like a 50 year ban on remakes? Let all of those originally tied to it either die or get super old before re-telling the story.
