“Because Who Gives A Shit"? That's the tagline for the show!

Extremely important unimportant point: isn’t Sweet Tooth the name of the VAN, not the man, whose name is Needles?

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder. And by “that blunder”, I mean, “thinking this series was a good idea”.

Man, sucks that it’s a private company now, because I would be HELLA shorting right now.

Definitely sucking it in. He’s going full Hasslehoff.

To be specific, 87% of the members of SAG/AFTRA do not make that minimum wage to be eligible for health care. That’s about 150,000 people making poverty wages or, at best, working multiple jobs.

I absolutely agree with this from the business perspective you’re discussing. Regardless of the validity of player complaints, they should have been expected. Right now this is reeking of “don’t you guys have phones?” flopsweat from folks who shouldn’t have been surprised. Even if most of the patch notes really only…

It was Blizzard’s most successful non-subscription game (or next most successful depending on how you count Reaper of Souls and Overwatch’s paid features) before Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 is now their most successful game period.

Online contempt by a vocal (and often childishly petulant) minority does not translate to fun had…

It wasn’t about defied expectations, per se, but hopes snatched away, lol:

Ah, come on now. I do. And I don’t think he had contempt for fans. I think he had contempt for the film itself, as well as Marvel and their requirements for him. Which, from an abstract artistic perspective, and from an I-like-Sam-Raimi perspective, is fine.

Putting aside the fact that “I bought an IP to limit access to it” is a perniciously disgusting corporate tactic that needs to stop being normalized, everyone seems to forget a huge part of the bad side of monopolies: labor getting fucked. This is gonna mean less people in the industry now doing more work for less…

Consolidation and vertical intergration in food processing and related logistics over the past few decades is a pretty huge part of a lot of those pandemic-era bottlenecks and labor abuses that made us Americans get all shocked-Pikachu-meme a few years back. Turns out that if the four, count em, four companies with…

Or, simply been better written and edited and shown a little less contempt for the character that was compressed into nothing more than a vehicle for a “Haha, you liked a thing, fuck you” moment. Two things can be bad about a movie, lol.

Also, please note I attempted to edit the above several times before the 15 minute time limit passed, and that’s what we ended up with, so there may be changes if you came here immediately after the first notification.

No matter our disagreements, we can at least agree that Kinja sucks. Worse than Vietnam.

I think that stating that Gen Z is suffering these uniquely and then stating that as fact without giving evidence that A) they are monolithically suffering it as an entire generation internationally, in the West, or even just in North America or B) that they are doing so uniquely, is circular reasoning: they are sad…

You started this conversation with “Millennials are emotional basket cases”, and presented arguments that are fundamentally intended, with or without support, to undermine the reasonability of anything they say. That has nothing to do with the content of their complaints, but that their fundamentally culturally…

You say “an entire generation is over-emotional, this guy says so”, people say that’s hogwash, you go apoplectic repeating the same thing over and over, seemingly refusing to listen.

I am pointing out the cultural origins of these types of arguments in academia, and comparing him to folks who similarly attempt to dress up culture war arguments as supportable by research. He is painting an entire generation of diverse people as “fragile”, and it satisfies cultural presumptions instead of academic…

I’m sorry you’re tired, but again, I’m saying that his credentials are being used in an age-old attempt to dismiss and pathologize people who have problems with bullshit; to inoculate those who think they inherently deserve respect from having to earn it. The logic/emotion binary comes out of hoary paternalistic…

I’m sorry, but no credentials can make me read past either an interpretation of a text or a direct description of a text positing logic and emotions as a binary, and worse, logic as the “clearly” preferable of the two for those whothink “correctly”. That fucking shit was debunked as toxic machismo in the 60s, and…

I hope they give him that Moe Howard haircut.
