Chess.com did not prove that he cheated, it proved that he played in a somewhat unusual way and that he changed screens more often than other players. It’s not concrete proof in any way. Given his history I think any online chess tournament is within rights to ban him but there’s zero reason to believe he’s not just…

This movie is an underappreciated classic and deserves all the accolades. 

I think this theory deserves more credit. Like what if this is a guy, raised in the computer era who didnt learn chess in the conventional means, but by using computer assisted tools, who now just plays like a computer without them. Like you learn based on how your taught, how your mentors and rivals play, what if his…

Robert Downey Jr’s true comeback was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

It’s a shame to act like Paul Reubens didn’t have his real cinematic comeback in the 1999 masterpiece Mystery Men

Not a likely scenario, I know, but I think it would be fucking hilarious if this guy was cheating all that time in order to actually get “better” at chess.

16 dollars an hour does not even compare to the amount of work put in. But its low skill labour.. uhh its still very unpleasant..

Ah, the bend-over-and-take-it take.  Always a classic.

They complain about their job, you complain about their complaints, and you think they’re the ones crying?

You smell. Take that.

spoken like a person who’s never had to work a food service job. 

I guess we have memes everywhere now but we still don’t have a good substitute for the wonderful that was YTMND

“I thought of writing some black characters into a fantasy novel. I didn’t do it, of course, but the thought did cross my mind. Remarkable stuff.” 

it felt like “woke” the game

Read about this over the weekend. It all seems tragically ironic but also, exactly the sort of thing Disco Elysium talked about, Capital absorbing it’s critiques. The bottling and selling of rebellion against itself. The anarchic-communist revolution sponsored by Pepsi.

Bioluminescent jungles began figuring in as plot points in the likes of Trolls (2016), Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), and Moana (2016).

The unsactioned gathering is what draws these folks in. This guy was just the worst offender becuase he killed two people.  Please tell me what “other points of view” I should examine about having modded cars drag race in the middle of a small town with a lot of pedestrian traffic. 

This whole article seems an overly desperate stretch over and around the weird hollowness of the first Avatar movie and its lack of resonance in pop culture despite its box office success. Titanic gets referenced far more in pop culture than Avatar, and it came out 25 years ago. Toys and other Avatar merchandise…

Your argument barely supports your premise.  Nobody’s denying the technical impact it had on filmmaking or the number of 3d TVs that it sold, but it definitely didn’t have the same kind of pop culture impact as Cameron’s previous movies.  Nobody’s quoting any of the blue people a decade later while ‘Game over man!’,…
