I thought that was what all the kids were doing these days?

He may be a jerk, but I like his portrayal of the Flash. He reminds me of how Tom Holland portrays Spiderman - sort of a like an “aw, shucks, I don’t really know what I’m doing” way.

I look forward to Barry’s new catchphrase: “How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?”

If you told me 10 years ago there is a movie of the Flash being made and I would have no interest in seeing it, I would not have believed you. DC is on a run of making movies that fail to understand and capture what’s great about the characters.

I mean, I think everyone has to find the lines they don’t want to cross, whether it’s who you’re willing to support financially or what have you.

With the cleaning of the Warner Bros house with the new merger, it seems likely that the DCEU is on its way out. Unless the Flash is phenomenal, they will likely just move on to a different IP or a different Flash, to be honest. The new head of Warner Bros. has said a bunch of stuff about how he doesn’t understand why…

“Sunk cost” is only a fallacy when abandoning the current course would be beneficial. It’s not a fallacy to think that sometimes it makes sense to proceed on a less-than-ideal course, when the alternative is starting over.

That’s a very complicated question, but recent events have shown that you’re giving money to an actor who might vengefully use that money to continue hurting people they have previously hurt. Maybe. But certainly, this isn’t a case of reading a dead author who was racist, or watching a movie with a large cast where…

Just digitally paint him over with Tig Notaro.

I realize they probably are not going to cast Grant Gustin or Keiynan Lonsdale for the future DC movies. But if they did I would be pleasantly surprised 

I wonder how the James Bond franchise would handle this?

Maybe instead you should be amazed by peoples willingness to just assume others will pay for them. . . . .

Perhaps you work a job where you are paid enough to have a nice amount of disposable income but a large percentage of the country does not.  That extra $20 hurts their grocery budget.

Because you can do all this already without NFTs. You’re adding complexity for zero added value, something that in any other industry would result in you getting your walking papers.

Rinse and repeat

I agree this is the wisest approach. Don’t refuse the request or appear uncooperative physically. But don’t hesitate to ask the officer if that is a violation of your rights, and record that entire exchange if possible. And then, if they collect your biometrics, sue the piss out of the department for 4th Amendment…

You should verbally object, state you think your rights are being violated AND comply. Record as well if you know it’s legal in your State. (I’m not entirely sure it’s a blanket “right” in every state, though. I could have sworn some States protect police in insane ways from it).

Also:

I think it’s just splitting hairs to point out that it’s culture specific because at the end of the day the topic of conversation is a culture where it’s taboo. And that culture forms a part, I never implied it was the whole, of human society.

It is dumb. Because you know what else is natural? Shitting on the floor. The problem is you can make an argument against almost any aspect of human society by claiming it’s not “natural”, that it’s a “completely artificial concept”, and that it’s not the “default state” of humanity.

The issue is that twitch doesn’t want to be a camgirl site. If twitch backed off its modesty guidelines then it’d be all porn within the hour. Given that anyone can start streaming without any age verification it means that twitch would also need to start investing time, energy and money in child porn prevention.
