Absolutely true, however the phone book just gives you raw data with no context. It doesn’t point out to you “this is the home address and phone number of an attractive, affluent, 20-something blonde girl who likes to get blackout drunk on Friday nights.” Some people might be tempted to do bad things with that…

True, doxxing him gives anyone the opportunity to send threats, but as I understand it this guy did nothing to conceal the home addresses of his riders. Which, obviously, provides his viewers with the opportunity to send threats (or harass, rob, etc.) those people who showed up on his Twitch stream. Until and unless…
I saw this story on a different news site earlier this morning, and the very first comment was, simply, the driver’s full name, phone number, home address, and his wife’s name. (I’m not going to share it here or link to it, but it ain’t hard to find) Normally I think that doxxing someone online is grotesque and…
Absolutely true, which is why I don’t consider their situations to be equal to each other. The circumstances were different; the sentiment (“there must be professional consequences to our offended outrage!”) was the same.
Perhaps I misspoke when I said it was “one tweet”. I meant it more in the sense of “the one straw that broke the camel’s back” as someone else so wisely pointed out below in a different reply to my comment. I am fully aware that she has a long and problematic history.
As ridiculous as it is, politics has become (perceived as) a black-or-white, us-vs-them situation with no shades of grey or room for compromise in between. A “centrist” or someone who actually has opinions that are mixed on different political topics is now considered as rare as a jackalope. Roseanne supports Trump,…
You are correct. I wrote my message immediately after reading an article on a different site that got the timeline slightly wrong.
Dude, the whole series is on Hulu. My kids watch it all the time.
Not always true. Roseanne destroyed her entire career with one offensive tweet, let’s not forget. (Not that I’m saying these two situations are perfectly equal. Gunn tweeted that garbage over a decade ago, when his celebrity profile was much lower. Still, it was a stupid thing to do. THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS)
From the Wikipedia entry for the phrase/curse “May you live in interesting times”:
Yup. Also applies to the word "libtard" - whenever it appears in any comment, I just skip the whole thing. It's kinda nice, in a way, that there are such easily identifiable markers that let me know Not To Bother.
It’s almost as if the Force, like, I dunno, what’s the word... just awakened, or something.
I don’t get it, how does this crusted shitstain of an “actor” keep getting high-profile roles? Batman v Superman was literally the worst movie ever, and somehow Suicide Squad was even worse than that, and Jared Leto was the worst part about that.
I mean, she’s not gonna follow the plot anyway, right?
I’m curious how you came to the conclusion that calling a movie “great” is anything other than a subjective opinion. If something specific was mentioned (i.e. “the special effects sucked”) then you would have a basis for an argument. As it is, AoU had a solid cast, good writing, and stellar effects. I personally felt…
This is perfect timing! It was literally a week ago that I was having a conversation with my wife and her bff about Jeff Goldblum, and I mentioned something about Buckaroo Bonzai. They both gave me blank looks. I said “You know, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!?”
I’ll go see it when it hits the discount theater. Taking myself, my wife, and my 3 kids to a first-run theater costs an arm and a leg these days, so we only do it for movies that we are really excited about.
New films will not decrease your enjoyment of the old ones. I’m guessing you don’t like the new trilogy - that’s a perfectly valid opinion to have, but there are millions of people who don’t share that opinion. If they want new Star Wars (kids especially) then why deprive them? Nobody said you HAVE to see every one of…
