It is the money people’s fault. Once there was money to be had in the industry, all the idiots moved in, and no power can resist them. The game devs hate making awful cash-grab games that aren’t fun to play, too.

There is a whole genre of smuggling that is literally just buying a bunch of watches or something and then throwing them in your suitcase and doing exactly this.
If you’re doing it with single items for personal use is it fine? Probably so, as long as you can avoid being extra stupid about it. Is it a good thing to get in the habit of? Oh mercy no.

Fun fact, the character of Ripley was written for a man, and only once the script was complete did they randomly decide to cast a woman for the part and see what happened.
And yes I completely agree with you. Implications about how Hollywood does things are left as an exercise for the reader.

Wait: My memory of the story was that Clinton loved to escort women around and constantly signed up for the duty, and everyone else on all sides of the equation had no particular strong feelings about it. Except for John Mulaney’s mom.

Be sure to include some kind of passive-aggressive “joke” about how everyone in Hollywood who’s left of Harvey Weinstein is stupid.
- Comment on Uncovered emails showed how Meta struggled to keep Facebook culturally relevant 2 weeks ago:
Jesus Christ dude. They took a wildly popular platform, replaced the social aspects that made it popular with horrifying ad-spam and didn’t bother to absorb any of the new features or paradigms that other apps were inventing and making popular. So people moved on. It’s not complex. And then, trying to diagnose why everyone might have abandoned it as a result, they say things like:
Second, it feels heavyweight to request someone new as a friend, which makes it hard to rectify the first issue.
Yeah that’s a huge issue. You nailed it, you fucking donkey.

Oops
I absolutely did. I had this story open in another tab because I wanted to get back to it and read it after posting, and somehow crossed my wires. I’ll fix it.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, nominated by President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, wrote that he and his two colleagues “cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.”
Until I read this whole verdict, I hadn’t realized why people were making a big deal about it. It’s breathtaking.
The basic differences between the branches mandate a serious effort at mutual respect. The respect that courts must accord the Executive must be reciprocated by the Executive’s respect for the courts. Too often today this has not been the case, as calls for impeachment of judges for decisions the Executive disfavors and exhortations to disregard court orders sadly illustrate.
This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dint of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions.
The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.
It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.
This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.
Holy shit man. Whoever wrote that should get a medal made of gold.
