Yeah, that was my read, too. As soon as Wanda started feeling like a villain, there was Agatha, previously there to fulfill Wanda’s every wish, to fulfill her probable wish for someone else to be the villain. The only thing that makes me question that is the voice asking Wanda in the previous scene “do you think this…

Agreed, but with the half of the world’s population that were erased now suddenly back, there’s got to be a lot of huge crises happening all over the world. Having no way to have predicted what happened with Wanda, it wouldn’t have made sense for Falcon and Winter Soldier to be helping a colleague deal with emotional…

Eh, as others have pointed out, the A-listers are pretty much all gone. Plus the show is happening weeks after the events of Endgame, in which the half of the population that was blinked out of existence five years ago has suddenly reappeared. Whatever chaos happened when they vanished, it’s got to be at least as bad…

What’s getting out of control exactly? He’s not getting arrested or charged with anything, it just turns out that he was a real asshole to people he had power over who were afraid to say anything lest their careers be damaged (which in the case of Ray Fisher looks to be exactly what happened). Now they are just…

Is voting too complicated to create an app for? Currently, yes. Speak to people who work in network security and they will probably tell you that it is a terrible idea right now.

After getting my undergrad degree I was looking for full-time work, and did some part-time work for a guy. He hired me and another graduate from the same program. We’d meet once a week to go over the work we had each done and to assign new work for each of us. One week the new work he gave each of us was noticeably lig…

Yeah, I had no idea either. I really enjoyed Excellent Adventures and was sad when it started tapering off, but remember a video he did after it had mostly died off where he seemed clinically depressed, it was really weird and seemed like a massive personality change from what he normally showed. I know mentally ill…

I know this site has pushed a generally negative view of Baldwin, and some of that he has earned for sure, but having seen his candid comments and discussions, my view of him is that he’s just...kind of dumb. He’s not nefariously bad or gross or anything, he’s mostly just not particularly bright.

He really takes being a sore loser to an extreme level of pathetic, huh.

Yeah, I forget who said it, but the idea is that, for any problem, there are three things you can do: the right thing, the wrong thing, and nothing, and that is also the order of how good those solutions generally are. Doing the wrong thing is often better than doing nothing, because at least it moves you in a…

Yeah, I think you’re right. My assessment of her being underused was based on the strength of her impressions from before she started on SNL, but looking back at those, they may just not gel with SNL’s style and format.

I like the single character he tends to play in everything, but his making Jessica Walter cry in an interview a few years back sullied my view of him.

The cast really does seem overstuffed. Aidy, Kate, and Cecily have all been there 8 years now, and while they’re all great, the only one I’d hate to see go would be Cecily - still feel like she’s been underused. And was surprised to find out that Melissa has been there 4 years already, but she seems like the most…

Completely agree. Being an actor does not require much intelligence in general, and it absolutely does not make anyone qualified to speak on anything that actually matters. No one in the world should care in the slightest what any actor has to say about anything that is not explicitly acting (which will only be boring…

My read on people who promote conspiracy theories about Bill Gates being evil is that those people are actually telling on themselves. They know that if they had that amount of money, there is no way they would possibly do anything to help anyone other than themselves, so they assume no one else would, or feel bad…

Oh, totally. “Socialism” is used as the boogeyman, the reductive, inaccurate name given to whoever they are told is their enemy, and they fall for it because it’s so much easier to let someone amplify and direct their anger than to actually think critically about anything.

Very true. Also, strangely, greed: they’ve been fooled into thinking giving their money to a supposedly-great businessman will somehow mean they will get rich down the line, based on nothing that makes sense. But such is the nature of a successful grifter: it’s not really that the grifter has great intelligence, it’s…

I find it funny how right wing idiots swung so strongly from one ridiculous, baseless lie (being and supporting assholes will somehow improve our lives) to another (having a Democrat president will instantly turn the country socialist). Two terms of Obama didn’t actually change much, why would one with his vice preside…

I appreciate the sentiment of people thinking differently being left behind, that science needs people who question things, but here’s the problem: anyone who at this point truly believes the world is flat is absolutely NOT going to be even a mediocre scientist. They have constructed multiple levels of nonsense, some…

Absolutely, Reagan was a scumbag, and people viewing him fondly are being disingenuous or willfully ignorant. But let’s be honest about the context here: the very premise of CoD games and their like is that you can mass murder your way to heroism using the most basic, tribalistic in-group vs. out-group justifications.…
