When I read a summary of a film before I go to watch it, I don’t assume that I have absorbed the intensity of an actor’s performance. I have been disappointed too many times by excessively long YouTube videos to spent an hour and a half without knowing what the general content of the video is.

ITT: deliberately unhelpful comments.
You know why text summaries are good? If I read a thesis statement and go “yup, I agree with the thesis and know enough about the major points raised to skip this” I save NINETY FUCKING MINUTES of my life. Alternatively, if I see something in the summary that piques my interest, I can watch the video to get more detail.

It looks like there was some weird drama around her but I couldn’t find any details other than some vague claims about death threats.

All good points. FCPX was by all accounts a major step back from FCP, the comparison I heard the most was that it was basically iMovie.
Also, wasn’t the main selling point of FCPX that it was cheaper? I feel like they sold it for ~$100 for a long time. Going from that to $129/yr is bullshit.

Nope, it was written for a minstrel show, to mock black folks. The songwriter later moved south to join the confederacy.

I have seen some sellers figure out workarounds. If you have a different SKU, it doesn’t get considered. So for example, Poppi soda sells a 12 can variety pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 can variety pack for the same price at Costco. Different SKU, lower price per unit.

Apologies for the YouTube link but Cory Doctorow explains this phenomenon really well: youtube.com/shorts/vrgtV_yxxn4

I think it would be both normal and probably welcomed by a lot of them (as long as you’re not pushing an MLM.) Worst case scenario, they decline your friend request, but it’s not “weird.”

Hold on, you can simply tack on 10-50 dollars to your cell plan and get a “free” upgrade every year instead!

It genuinely floors me that few medium and large-sized companies don’t use Linux for desktops. You can customize gnome or KDE to work very similarly to windows from a UI/UX perspective, especially with the number of web based apps companies rely on. Windows and Office might start sucking less if they had real competition.

Listen, slick Willie might be a child raping scumbag, but he knows a DJT blowjob is going to be all teeth and self-aggrandizement. No one wants to have oral interrupted every 10 seconds by the person giving oral talking about how great they are at giving oral.

- Comment on grindr dump (in post body) 2 months ago:
The point is, if 10% of guys in a given population are unspeakably awful, that’s the 10% who you will hear from on a dating app. You don’t get that from fems because they are typically being pursued on all dating and social media apps, because we still largely hold to the cultural norm that men/masc presenting people are responsible for asking the other person out.
It seems worse on Grindr because the majority of users are cis men-the very people who have been told since birth that it’s their job to pursue sexual connections. Of course that leads to poor behavior.

Yep, which is why homophobes talk about (man on man) anal sex waaaaay more than gay men.

That’s in the comics. We’re talking about the movies, where the personification of death is not a factor.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 3 months ago:
Because it’s a pretty dumb story at its core. Because they wanted the “worst villain” but couldn’t come up with something more interesting or intelligent than “misguided environmental terrorist.”
