Note that the Hollywood report article DOES NOT say that Amazon got reviews on Rotten Tomatoes suspended for 72 hours. That article talks about both RT reviews (which are currently low) and Amazon reviews (which are suspended for 72 hours by already establish Amazon policy).

I’m poor as hell so I watch through OTHER means, and predictably the Disqus comments section on the site I use is full of the absolute worst humans/botnets on the planet, slamming it for being “woke garbage”. So I have no doubt that user scores on various review aggregate sites are a fucking nightmare as well.

Pretty much it boils down to:

I’m in my mid-40s, failed at any creative endeavours such as writing and art. Never had the skill or the motivation. I sit working from home and look at stuff that real artists do and weep for my own burnt stub of a creative soul.

I have seen a couple reports when people have been laid off with the words “Only one months salary” and it kind of surprises me since that is sorta the norm with business.  Sometimes long term employees may get more and you may get you vacation days paid to you but expecting more then a month of severance at most…

“What’s another death caused by a Long March?”

Everywhere you don’t wanna be. ;)

The proper way to deal with beating the hull against the waves is to build a hydrofoil boat. Just pops out of the water and then keeps going, no more slamming into waves.

Not quite the same level of idiocy, but I’ll take a Gibbs Quadski

I went the other way, and put a canoe on two motor scooters.

1-4 - because all of those things visually indicate “fast off road man thing” to a certain slice of the population. It’s pure lizard brain, peg in hole marketing.
