“tried to turn them gay”

How does one.....turn someone gay? It seems like you haven't thought this all the way thru. Have a seat.  

“He preyed on straight men and tried to turn them gay for his own benefit” What does that mean, he tried to pick up straight guys? I’m not clear why that is so bad - I mean is it more bad than preying on gay guys? Also, did he drug them or hit on them, did he invite them to his hotel room, answer the door in his robe…

I’m at a loss why we are supposed to be celebrating this young gay kid’s “downfall.” I just...don’t get it. Seems like he was a shitty friend to a grown a%$ woman and that sucks—-bad friends are bad. But other than that why, oh why are we vilifying him? He’s spoiled and “extra,” sure, but so aren’t roughly 60% of the…

I watched that video with no knowledge of anyone in the situation (i was bored and like keeping up with internet culture). Dude definitely sounds like a prick, but she just looks sad and pathetic going after a 19 year old who is probably a douche, but mostly harmless it seems. Just ignore him.

I’ll say this: I’m 35, and the thought of waking up two years from now and finding myself in a high-profile social media makeup feud with a 19 year old boy feels like one of the more embarrassing directions my life could potentially take.

Wintour and her team may approve of the guests that a company selects but the invitations do not originate from Wintour. There are attendees and there are invitees.

He wasn’t invited to the Met Gala. He attended because YouTube bought a table and selected a few YouTubers to come.

Why is a 37 year old woman so deeply invested in a friendship with a 19 year old that she’d generate this level of public drama? Yes, James Charles is a racist petty mess but maybe a grown-ass woman shouldn’t be besties with someone who can’t legally drink yet.

The fact that they are commonly used as pajamas does not make them by definition pajamas. Again, this is a matter of perception and interpretation. Lots of people eat cold pizza for breakfast, but cold pizza does not therefore become breakfast regardless of the circumstances under which it is eaten.

Thanks.  Also fuck off.  If I’m working from home and my daughter calls me puking from school I’m not going to stop and change into a smart pantsuit to go pick her up.  If I’m wearing my pajama pants and t-shirt (my standard uniform) I’m leaving in that.  It’s the beauty of being a grown ass woman...you don’t get to…

True. Someone on this comment section said that we’re starting to go back to how pricey cable was, with all these streaming services, and its kinda true. For the last few years I’ve had a sweet spot of a few streaming platforms and Sling TV, and its cheaper than cable. But if I have to subscribe to 5+ platforms,…

A lot of people has already said it lately, but it’s worthy to be repeated: this trend will make piracy skyrocket, and it will be the sole fault of greedy corporations. A lot of people, myself included, are up to pay for legal ways for getting content, but there’s a ceiling of reasonability that is about to be broken.…

This is what struck me. The numbers are all like “oh, people spent a long time watching Grey’s Anatomy, Friends, and the Office.”. You know what those shows have? A LOT of episodes. Natural breaks that keep the pace breezy. i.e., something you can leave running in the background while you do whatever. Each episode…

Exactly. Ten episodes per season of hour long prestige shows is generally good, but ten episodes of half hour long lighter fare is what you call half a season, if that.

What worries me most is that Netflix says they are going to make more original shows- which is great, they have a fairly solid track record there- but they also seem to think 3 seasons of 10 episodes is enough. It isn’t.

I’m not fifteen anymore, I have no desire to steal from the artists whose content I enjoy. I do as others have suggested: I pick a service, wring it dry, cancel and move on to the next in a cycle. They can kiss my ass if they think I’m going back to the $100 a month shitty cable model but so can anyone who thinks…

Personally, I’ll pay for two with an occasional third. Recently I added HBO Now for GOT. In a month or two when that’s over and I’ve caught up on VEEP and True Detective and watched a few movies, I’ll cancel. I did the same thing with Starz for S1 of American Gods (no real interest in S2 without Fuller/Green at the…

When do we reach peak streaming? How many services can the average viewer reasonably adopt?
