I can’t blame them. Google search results have been steadily deteriorating over the last 5 years.

Absolutely. They butchered what could’ve been a fairly straightforward and understandable first season by doing none of the necessary ground work.

Counterpoint: one of the biggest movies of the year is a biopic about a physicist and the morality and politics around his work. Art and profit are not an inverse relationship. Pandering to the lowest common denominator often drives off anyone with an intellect above that of a potato.

Yes, but also no. When you make something that absolutely hits in a big way with a bunch of people, you dramatically increase sales. Overly complex means that many people will avoid it, and so you want to avoid that, but this is different from dumbing something down. When you dumb things down, it pisses people off,…

Assuming everything was translated correctly, the man being quoted isn’t a writer, but a producer who’s trying to defend his decisions on the show. Sure, the writers, by definition, write the script, but they’re usually working within the constraints set by their superiors - the showrunners and producers who decide…

Oh, no, it’s WAY worse than that. Just listen to him:

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

a manslaughter charge should be super-easy to prove

It’s hanging out. It’s the TV on in the background, but its centered around one person who you get to know and occasionally directly interact with. A kingdom of minor celebrities doing interesting-enough content but (among the most popular) mostly just being charismatic and enjoyable to hang around with. And each of…

“It will be understandably difficult for some viewers to watch this film without being reminded of Miller’s alleged misdeeds, and Warners’ handling of them, but for what it’s worth, the film does carry with it a palpable sense of fun that works particularly well when The Two Barrys are doing their Odd Couple schtick.”

Companies have a duty of care to protect their employees and contractors from abuse.

Sometimes a bad adaptation of a bad book cancels things out and you get a good movie :-)

“excruciatingly mid, who I would never let touch me on my drunkest night.”

Yeah. As you probably know they’re going to get delisted from NASDAQ soon because they’re not maintaining the minimum share price. She has a slam dunk workplace harassment suit. It would be much cheaper to just kick this dude out, he’s not bringing in what it’s gonna cost to defend him.

guess not much has changed in 10 years

He radiates sex pest energy.    Honestly the FaZE clan is full of dudes I wouldn’t recommend leaving your drink unattended around.  

“FaZe Clan” isn’t some group of backyard gamers, it’s a NASDAQ listed company (at least for now). It’s a workplace. It’s an employer. It’s not just an edgy group of insecure “gamer bros”, it’s a corporate entity.

Never been a problem for the GOP

I’ve only been following this story in the most cursory of fashions, but what I find most sad about the whole thing is that Grace left Hollywood because of the online vitriol she faced, and (from what I can vaguely recall, so apologies if it’s off a bit) she said that while she knew that esports weren’t free of…

Anyone wanna guess the amount of women he’s stalked/creeped/assaulted?
