This country is built out of an infinite series of unimpeachable and unapproachable social power constructs. Case in point is how the military is basically a SA factory going back as early as the academies, or how the industries with the most reported SA claims are food services and retail.

This has probably been said before, but I think the primary theme of this entire show is self-sabotage: the ways in which people can’t get out of their own way and keep doing things that screw themselves over, things that seem like they should be easily avoidable. But then we’re all familiar with the ways in which we…

Same!  I love this show, but as I watch, it definitely seems like Hader is working through...something.

The untold story of how Cousineau went from dapper and put together to a sweaty pot-bellied mess in the course of his stage performance is the subtle hero of the premiere

If you can’t laugh at a rain stick being used to serenade a table, then you have a poor sense of humor.

It is, unfortunately, a flop.

I love Halloween and most Paul Rudd stuff but man, Halloween 6 was such a gigantic misfire. It doesn’t help that he plays Tommy Doyle as if Tommy was an alien who had been on earth for 2 days before the events of the movie. I know the cast and crew disowned that movie but damn...

He pulls out a polaroid of the cutest Korok you’ve ever seen and underneath it says DO NOT BELIEVE HIS LIES

Clearly dudeman has never actually SEEN Critters, maybe one of the best sci-fi black comedies ever (nothing can unseat They Live, of course).

I cast Eva Mendez (which is how she spelled it then) in COTC, at my first job in Hollywood, and I tailored 3 different and completely honest arguments to each of the 3 producers in charge to convince them:

TCM: The Next Generation

shift blame away from companies that are intentionally being exploitative is not good.

self control and personal accountability are good things to have and to encourage. but using them as a reason to shift blame away from companies that are intentionally being exploitative is not good.

This won’t effect me much. I’ll play the main campaign and maybe a few months of the end-game and then put the game away and move on to something else.

it’s a psychological manipulation tactic to get people to remain invested where they otherwise might not. if it doesn’t work on you, that’s great, but it will absolutely work on many people (otherwise companies wouldnt use it)

You could just, like, play what you want then be done? There’s zero obligation to continue with the new content or seasons if you don’t want to. That’s always such an odd complaint, more optional content is just that, optional.

Nobody is stopping you from finishing the campaign and putting the game down.

Then I guess this game was made for me, and only me, because I’m excited that this game will have continuous story content.

This. Games were already a timesink, but now they are demanding time not on our terms, but our time on their terms, which is disgusting to me.

This is...awful? FOMO is a huge problem for me, it’s one of the reasons I quit Destiny 2. Quit Division 2. Quit Overwatch. Quit Hearthstone. My broken brain won’t allow me to miss a season or event, and if I do—because IRL gets busy or another game comes out—then it’s over. There’s no catching up. I missed a…
