I feel like none of these are really examples of “stunt-casting.” For starters, most of them were not really well known enough to attract a casual audience to a movie for their role (nobody’s watching Raya because of Kelly Marie Tran). Most are just examples of actors being hired for normal roles. Maybe you could…

90% of the examples in this article are not about the Uncanny Valley. The uncanny valley isn’t just bad CGI and it very explicitly is not about any animal. It is about humans and humanoid objects and how we have a strong negative reaction to a humanoid object that looks 90% like a human, but not to one that looks 50%…

This seems like an awful lot of hassle for something that, even on the high end, is only going to save you less than $1,000 per year (Oregon’s 9% tax rate on a $10,000 joint deduction).

I’m not in this world at all, but is this actually illegal? Like, these people bought something (a crypto token) and presumably they still have that something. It’s just now worthless because there’s no money backing it. So it wasn’t “theft” in the way we would normally think of it, right? I know pump and dumps are…

This is basically a Norwegian prison, except the dorm’s rooms are smaller and the students don’t get their own shower or window.

Yeah, they definitely have the numbers. I think this is more just a matter of the people who bought the show not being the same as the people who have to decide whether to keep it on and the fact that nobody at Disney really seems to know what’s going on with the whole “FX on Hulu” brand either.

If you’re at the level of knowledge of Dogecoin that you need this article to help you, you shouldn’t be investing in Dogecoin. That’s not a slam on the article, just a recognition that you shouldn’t be investing in something you don’t understand. You’d be better off memorizing a Basic Strategy table and heading to…

It’s purpose was to generate 96 comments on what is basically two paragraphs and a handful of links about how to make your yard less environmentally costly.

I was actually going to say that the statement was, “Tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids,” but then I realized it was trolling and didn’t want to take the bait.

To me, anybody who says open green spaces “serve no purpose,” and then explicitly includes in that definition parks and athletic fields, is obviously trolling. Like, those things obviously serve many purposes and such a statement serves no purpose other than to raise the hackles of people with kids and people who like…

I’m generally anti-big lawns, but this:

AUUKUS?

Right, but my broader point is that it doesn’t matter if your credit score yo-yos every month. It only matters in the month that you need to apply for a mortgage/car loan/other loan, which really shouldn’t be that often. And, even then, a 20-30 point swing is just not going to matter that much, especially if you’re…

Rather than monkeying around with your credit card payments and trying to figure out the exact date to make an extra payment, wouldn’t the more prudent and universal advice be, “Don’t rack up a bunch of credit card debt if you’re about to get a credit check”?

The one good thing about having a divisive, two-party political system is that it’s never in the ruling party’s interest to have significant inflation or deflation (as both tend to result in a change in power).

For children who are at high risk for complications from RSV, there is a drug called palivizumab that can help prevent severe illness from the virus, although it cannot cure or treat children who already have severe RSV.

I’m sorry. This article doesn’t make any sense at all to me. If you were going to open a new credit card solely for the cashback bonus (which, don’t...that’s dumb), why wouldn’t you just wait until you have a purchase you need to make that would actually cost that much (or close to it) without the 3% fee. We just…

It was fine, but about ten minutes in I realized they were just retelling Captain America 1 and kind of checked out. Like, the answer to “What If Peggy got the supersoldier serum” was, basically, “Most of the same stuff except she gets lost instead of Steve.”

It’s too big literally, coming in a comically large box,

Sounds like they should organize and start a players’ union.
