Obviously not sure yet if it applies to this story, but still: If you have thoughts of suicide or self-harm, don’t act on them. No matter what country you’re in, there is free help available and things will get better. I’ve been close one or two times myself and am glad I didn’t do it.

Aw, how horrible. She was an interesting, deeply troubled artist with an amazing voice, some great collaborations, and lots of burnt bridges. Infuriating, up and down, energetic, all over the place... now the parasites and documentarians waddle in and package that messy life with a nice, neat narrative.

There are actual problems with this show. There are actual things that a skilled critic could address. There are actual plot issues, pace issues, dialogue issues, theme issues.
Which makes it all the more infuriating when Barsanti ignores them to make complaints that demonstrate his complete lack of media literacy:

What did Ike fucking Barinholtz do? 

A jib is a triangular headsail that stretches from the outer end of the jib-boom to the fore topmast head in large ships, and from the bowsprit to the masthead in smaller craft.

I don’t think this is a wrist slap sentence.  Restitution and community service are fair, and the course work he has to complete is reasonable.  Davidson has mental health issues. He is open about his issues. He works on them. I wish him well.

When in (a tacky plastic knockoff of) Rome...

The streets will have so much paint and barrier lining them that they will be unrecognizable.  They shut down Boston, Chicago, NY, and many other cities every year for marathons and parades. This is no different.

Shaking down businesses for money? Sounds to me like F1 already understands how Vegas works....

The streets were made with public tax dollars and repaired with public tax dollars. The race is on public streets, not a private track!

It seems insane that they are asking money for a public event that is taking place in the streets.

Las Vegas and F1. The perfect coming together of greed and excess. 

Unfreeze engine development for all 4 engine manufacturers for 2024, let them spend 50M outside the cap, that would be fairer.

Well what would be the point of having such a yacht if not to do lots of drugs. Models don’t just hop on boats for nothing.

You must have been born before after 1999.  There was no way you could escape it in 1997.

Literally the first two words of the song are “She said.”
But, just like in the 90's nobody paid attention to the opener and since a dude was singing it it was assumed it was from his perspective.

I thought the song was intended to be about being abused (and implicitly criticizing toxic relationships), rather than condoning abuse or toxicity? That said, Matchbox 20 was the first real concert I ever went to, so maybe I’m just biased.

Then why is Michael Caine always in my dreams?

What, you’ve never been to the beautiful eastern European capital of Texas, Moldova?

Same reason anyone works for Waffle House: free waffles.
