You seem to not be familiar with how Japan works. That wasn’t hyperbole. The usual response for sexual assault, until a few years ago, was for the victim to make a public apology for causing problems for the company. Child porn was legal until 2014, and people who have been arrested afterwards were let go after 6…

“Sono’s quid pro quo MO big no-no”

The PS5 more than justifies its existence on framerates alone. Sure, a lot of PS3 games still look pretty good, particularly in a snapshot, but anyone who thinks going from 30fps to 60fps (or more if you have a very new TV) is no big deal probably has the vision of a mole; once you’re used to the upgrade, going back…

It’s a crazy pills moment. Everyone that saw the Oscars witnessed a crime being committed. And some folks are falling over themselves to try to justify that crime rather than simply say that it’s a crime and it’s fucked up.

So many people genuinely believe “violence is only okay in situations that I personally find emotionally satisfying.”

It’s the only real reason that the death penalty still exists in the United States.

doesn’t justify physically assaulting that comedian

She couldn’t figure that out for herself?

More like 30 years ago,

He said “Bravo” about a statement from Disney.  Now he’s retweeting an anti-Disney Tweet.  The sentence is missing word(s).

Go Bean Dip! 

Nah.

Man, that first sentence in the article is a mess.

I dunno, given the benefit of a doubt in this era of hyper polarization, could just be that they don’t want to be forcibly dragged into culture wars and made into some sort of weird totem or litmus test, when all they really want to do is create live action remakes of childrens’ cartoons that featured subliminal…

The worst part of this is now Sam is writing everything.

I’m too young to have seen their early career, but that long tracking shot of the school hall in Donnie Darko set to Head Over Heels totally floored me when I first saw it as a kid. I just had to find the band who did the song, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

No mention of the Pie Minister?

“I don’t care what other people think” can have an array of meanings. Like “don’t let other anxiety about other people’s judgments ruin your life” is good advice, but I find a good 80-90% of people who make that line part of their public persona actually mean “I don’t give a shit who my actions hurt because I’m…

It’s like when people trot out that (apocryphal) “if you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best” Marilyn Monroe line. Simply admitting you have faults is meaningless if you have no intention of taking responsibility for them.

I have to say that I’ve known some truly terrible people who have all said things along the lines of “I am who I am” and “it’s part of me that I don’t care” as a response to criticism of their behavior.

They accidentally the whole thing!
