Didn't 4Chan have some sort of split off called 8Chan or something, for people that thought 4Chan was way to politically correct?

Yeah, weird isn't it?
The only reason I read these articles and comment sections is because I find the whole situation fascinating. I really can't understand why people get so worked up about the fact that a movie is made that they might not like. That combined with the thinly veiled misogyny that crops up in most…

Wait! What are you suggesting about Oscar Wilde??

I have to admit the distinction between remake and reboot can be a bit vague and subjective. I also have to admit that I haven't seen the new Spidermen, so maybe I shouldn't have used them as an example.

I think you can divide new installments in a movie franchise in four groups:

I thought Ghostbusters was set in New York?

Hmm, maybe it wasn't as good a fit. Of course the original Simpsons voice cast is hard to beat. And I had seen at least one season with the original voices before I could only watch it in Dutch.

I used to hate it when shows were dubbed in Dutch on television in the Netherlands. For instance, I think they dubbed the Simpsons for season 3 and 4 or something like that and I was heartbroken. I loved the Simpsons, but the Dutch voices were TERRIBLE!

I was living in an apartment building for students. The university had it connected to the main network, so there was just an Ethernet socket in the wall you could plug your computer in to. No modem or anything. I think they installed it around 1997 with a 10Mb/s connection and upgraded to 100Mb/s (symmetrical) not…

The comments you're responding to have been deleted, but that's still such a delicious takedown, I have to upvote it.

Well, I've been reading these for a while sorted "by best" and I've seen very few people defend the misogyny. That at least means the upvoters are on your side.

I had a 100Mb/s connection in 1998, so you ARE almost 20 years behind the times.

Also, from the same interview I got the sense that getting paid for jobs and the cost of living in NYC were a big deal for her when she was young. Didn't feel like the attitude of someone who never had to worry about money.

How is this comment on an article, about a revival for a game show I've never watched, by a commenter I don't know so thoroughly compelling?

When I used to man the help desk for our company, that makes very specific software for municipal governments, I used to get pretty strange requests from time to time. Ranging from random people who want help with Microsoft Word to actual clients that want us to come clean out their trash cans.
Of course I was happy to…

I wasn't aware you provided this service, but could you please get me in contact with Lady Lyanna Mormont? I could really use some firm but fair career advice.

I understand. Actually I think in reality, neither of those scenario's will pan out (a quick reversal or a very painful separation). It's in the UK's and the rest of Europe's best interest to make this as least painful as possible. The global economy will suffer out of panic for a little while, but it will bounce…

The older I get, the more I realize people really do learn from history. Only to completely forget 10 to 20 years later.

Yeah, I really feel for you. My second to last paragraph may have sounded a bit harsh, considering close to half of the UK didn't want this result.

As a (former?) fellow European, I would have preferred if the Brits had voted Remain. On the other hand, maybe it's not so bad to lose a member of the union that was constantly bitching and trying to negotiate "a better deal”.
