With Breaking Bad, the split made sense.  Why the heck is every show doing this now...

If there are enough episodes, it could last 3 billing cycles, couldn’t it?  1 episode a week for a 12-episode show?  That’s 3 months right there.

But people can just subscribe later and be able to watch all of it at once...?  I understand the strategy you’re talking about is the reason, for sure.  But I’m confused why they think it’s viable.

I had never heard of Politico prior to the abortion draft leak, but I am in love with them now.  God bless Politico.

No yeah, I get that.  I understand its usage.  This is just the first time I’ve heard it used before.  I like it, I just hadn’t heard it before.

Same-gender?  This is the first time I’ve heard that as opposed to same-sex.  Is this the more appropriate social phrase now?  It’s honestly hard to keep up, even as someone that identifies as non-binary.

There is no slow creep moving away from cosmetic MTX to pay-to-win MTX.  There have been pay-to-win MTX for years.  I would say they even predate cosmetic ones.  It’s not like this is suddenly a new thing.

I played the PS5 for the first time at a friend’s house the other day, and I was kind of shocked at how few “classics” they had? For the PSP, PS1 and PS2 stuff, I guess I thought the catalog would be a lot bigger. But it seems like it’s comprised mostly of games you can find on the PS3 on PSN, and out of those, it…

Time for them to bring out the Xbox Series X+, I guess

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

A bit off-topic, but it’s still crazy to me that Kyle Mooney played Watson on the Sherlock Holmes vs Batman Epic Rap Battle of History. I think that was actually a year or a little less before he got picked up for SNL. His Watson was my introduction to him. Then I forgot and I thought his Baby Yoda was my introduction…

I’ve seen a couple pranksters whose parents are encouraging them by driving them to the places they prank in. I always thought that was kind of a strange thing to do as a parent. Like, you’re letting them have fun and do what they do, but maybe you’re not aware of the kinds of “pranks” they’re pulling. If I were a…

It’s been a while since I’ve seen JStuStudios, but I think they are generally a safe bet for IRL pranks. They pull them on the public, but as far as I have seen, they’re never mean-spirited. Just silly stuff like trying to order drive-thru food in in a sleigh with reindeer people, walking around a store in squeaky…

I mean, he got hit in the stomach and liver.  It’s not like this is one of those “mere flesh wound” kinds of injuries. It was life-threatening for sure.

“Clowns vs Cops!” is a certified banger if you’re just out of preschool, though.

“can’t release the victim’s name or the fact that the victim has a social media presence”

I’d like to see the data for how many people finish all these other shows. And I would also love, as impossible as it is, to see what this percentage is when excluding the people that hate-watched the first episode or two.

As someone that has extreme OCD (with germophobia being a main component of it), any public VR stuff is a nightmare to imagine. I can’t even play on VR headsets that my friends have played on, let alone a bunch of gross people I don’t know or trust.

“most people will have PS5s in the near future”

“Ain’t no way” means there is a way. Double-negative.
