Look! It's the person who's right about everything! 

Then don’t listen to it. No one is forcing you to. That said, it is one of the most excellent podcasts out there.

I always thought it was some automated RFID tech doing it. This is like Tesla putting a guy into a robot suit and make him walk on stage. 

I mean, first, yes there absolutely are camera and boom operators with huge egos.

Creators, directors, writers, and producers, though.

It’s like finding out that a vending machine actually has a poor person locked inside it that is forced to take money and send out the right drink. Incredibly dystopian.

“He didn’t reveal who those “certain people” (plural!) actually were and it seems unlikely that he will in the future, but for the record, his co-stars for the majority of the show were Bryan Cranston, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, Jane Kaczmarek, and Christopher Masterson.”

“largely because offshore cashiers were rewatching videos and assigning items to different customers.”

“just as it is for Mel Gibson...” Surely we draw some distinction between the actions of an ignorant teenager and those of a fifty-year-old man.

“any conversation regarding his career”

Yeah, I agree with this. The reboot movies really didn’t allow enough time or seem to take their own plot elements seriously in the same way. The original series giving you space to puzzle out things like the origin and nature of the Evas was what made the series so enticing in the first place.

I think a reading of that can be that they were the first post war generation and Japan, as a nation, had just undergone a “end of the world” like event and they experienced a societal “reboot”. So there art reflecting that isn’t a surprise 

Do you just lurk, waiting for reasons to insert politics into completely irrelevant conversations?

I’m not sure it’s so much that we have “amnesia” about Wahlberg’s crimes, as that we’re not sure what consequences you think he should suffer for them now.

38 years ago. Fuck off.

Congratulations!
