Non-human here. I definitely prefer original cheerios. And over all the other flavors. I haven’t found another flavor of cheerios I’m even into.  But I’m definitely an outlier.  

lol I saw this company on The Profit. Lemonis bought in, so I’m surprised to see they’re back-ordered, because most of the show was him fixing their production issues (which mostly consisted of making the creator realize he could/should delegate).

Question: what’s this kettle-cooked distinction all about? I know a kettle-cooked chip is crunchier but what about it disqualifies it for this test?

I dislike the title of this article.

Elfo didn’t pick up on this because even though he knows elf lore, he’s only half-elf.

I suspect that Dwight is simultaneously in a more comfortable space with himself and yet also still a deeply fucked-up person.

So what can be done or is it just “LOOK WHAT THEY DID”

just to extend your nightmare, there is a separate and parallel effort for the audio equivalent of deep fake, where AI can take sample data of you saying whatever, then extrapolate your speech pattern completely, then generate audio from text and it doesn’t sound like you, it’s your voice. They’re working on things…

As someone who has used several of those words un-ironically and with no thought of impressing anyone, I’ll just have to sound like a dick and you can sound like a judgmental idiot. I mean, did you really try to redline ‘existential’? FOH.

You may have something there. The Expanse had that challenge, it caused some viewers to quit the series early.

well, no, the steampunk aesthetic is really what I’m going at here, but it often is couched in a period setting.

But let’s go through your list anyway! PD wasn’t successful (despite my hopes as I was an ardent fan and frankly, Eva Green should have won all the awards possible). Ripper Street did ... fine. SH movies, I…

looool! Nice, although I’d point out, I count myself as the commoner who embarrassed himself by mislabeling something clearly *checks comment* Edwardian as opposed to Victorian.  I do, however, wear the fanciest of pants allowed by my budget.

lol as I noted in the other, snarkier response, I stand corrected but I think this bolsters my point as it takes a point off the board for successful Victorian era period pieces. But I the lay viewer isn’t making this distinction. I mean, I’m happy to be proven wrong with a list of successful steampunk fare, big or…

Here’s the thing. I think Victorian fantasy, especially steampunk, is a very tough sell to current audiences for whatever reason.
Sure, something like Downton Abbey can pull the crowd that love Victorian period pieces, and you can find some interest if you’re going with a horror angle. But really, it seems like the…

checking in for ‘marmite is harvested from between the devil’s toes.’

As someone who abhors IPAs (I have a rant, I’ll spare you that), THANK YOU for point #1.

was just coming to comments to make that point.
