Doesn’t all this require the existence of some people who’ve seen the movie?

We’ve reached a pitiful point where most of online interaction seems generated by useless ‘influencers’. Having said that, there is a wide variety. Here it’s about useless people pushing useless products on their sheep. But, at an authentic Chinese eatery near me, they often have up on a TV a Chinese ‘influencer’ who…

I will never understand why anyone black would join the US KKK Nazi party that’s dedicated to put anyone black into slavery and anyone Jewish into death camps as they learned from Hitler.  

I don’t know if it’s true that studio bosses figure that ‘once strikers start losing their homes and apartments that they will knuckle under’ but it wouldn’t surprise me.  Few actors or writers get rich doing their work.

Do cruise ships provide gloves to use at the buffet?

At least when you throw up it’s not on your own carpet!

I went on 4 cruises over the years; this was unheard of then. Now in the last several years it’s become common. Biggest things that have changed - today’s floating hotels (I won’t call most of these hotel barges ships) are much bigger, much more packed, they are cheaply built, everything is done on the cheap,…

If you want a Mustang, it’s going to be ICE and a coupe, not a misbadged SUV.

Sooner or later all auto manufacturing plants will be in non-union states or in Mexico.  I don’t like it, but it will happen, especially if the MAGAT party is in control.

Ford can call these Mustangs, but they’re just expensive electric SUV’s. Mustangs and SUV’s are not and never will be the same thing. Maybe they’re good, maybe not, but with an inappropriate name they are likely a lot harder to sell.

I’ve long found them to be sleazy, both to their customers and their staff. I’d never be a customer, and I don’t really want to be an employee. Though this holds true for most of the major investment banks that have retail also; Citi, Wells Fargo, and more and more, Chase.

Looks like it COULD be good.

IME, new car dealers are mostly scum.  Used car dealers are scummier, and some used car dealers are beyond scum.  Like this one.  Today, with used cars still at a premium, it makes it even easier for the bad ones to rip off buyers.

Manufacturers stopped building economy cars - but most people can’t afford expensive models.  They’ve completely forgotten the lessons taught us by Henry Ford.

Electric rates in some areas have gone through the roof, power plants keep getting shut down and new ones blocked, offshore wind is being blocked, solar needs - oops, lots of sunlight (nothing at night or bad weather), wind works when, oh right, the wind blows, dams are running out of water, we don’t have the…

He did a little bit of good and a lot of harm with these birds, but then, that’s his style!

Muskatel had such a bright idea to flood low earth orbit with his birds, but he forgot that 1. it’s crowded, and 2. doing so is making astronomy from earth impossible.

I don’t think anyone will forget that MBS likes to have people murdered or that he’s done so much harm to the world economy.

One wonders if Muskatel will be able to keep Twitterdom going now; one can only hope he loses every penny he sunk into it and then some and eventually loses control over all his companies.

They are both self entitled scum, though only one of them appears to have gone truly insane AND supports extremist right causes - presumably learned growing up in apartheid.  The other seems to, once in a while, learn lessons from major mistakes.
