Close up off monstrous, horrifying, dangerous gravity dragon… pull back and back and back, and realize it was 1000x magnified. It’s magnificent roar a barely audible squeak.

Zoe Saldana as Katara can’t be any worse than the nepo baby in the M. Night Shyamalan train wreck.
- Comment on Sydney Sweeney to Star in ‘Split Fiction’ Film Adaptation From Director Jon M. Chu, ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ Writers (EXCLUSIVE) 1 week ago:
But on an unproven new IP? That’s unusual. Like Split Fiction is popular, so it worked out, but they must have been putting in a fair amount of work on the prayer that it was well received.

The game released like 6 weeks ago and it already has a film deal with a director and lead actor attached? What the hell?
- Comment on Here’s an idea 1 week ago:
The very premise of this assumes that everyone is aware of what everyone else’s job is including all of their responsibilities, that they can objectively judge how well they do their job, that they will not base their decisions based on personal or identity biases (particularly against protected classes), that they have an understanding or even basic knowledge of company budget and financials, and that they can be trusted to properly weigh the financial health of the company with the relatively value each individual’s contributions and the desire for one’s own personal gain.
I would argue that almost no person in an company bigger than 10 people is capable of most (if any) of these. Not that existing company structures are always great at all of these, nor are they usually incentivized to pay people their true worth, but the system you proposed would likely lead to massive issues in any company. Financial issues, personal issues, etc. Even if a company like this were to survive, you would likely see rampant turnover for women, minorities, young people, and anyone else that is likely to be under paid by the might of the majority that believes they are worth less than their white male seniors. Likewise, the “nice” guy manager that does do his job in the slightest but is fun to hang out with is more likely to get a raise than the serious managers who actually keep the company working and on profitable endeavors, which is likely to lose everyone their jobs when the company is no longer profitable. There are more problems with this, but that should be enough to see the pitfalls here.

- Comment on Unpopular popular opinion - fiat 2 weeks ago:
Also how do I save up perishables like potatoes for a big purchase? Do I have to set up a potato payment plan? What happens when I need IT services, but my profession is teacher and the IT guy doesn’t need my services, so I have to source something he needs from someone who needs my services to get his services? What if I can’t do my job without his services? Shit gets way more complicated without a uniform non-perishable national currency, fiat or otherwise.

- Comment on What is Superman's "kryptonite"? 2 weeks ago:
The truly classic ones I’ve read are Red Son, All-Star Superman, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, For the Man Who Has Everything, Kingdom Come, and the Death of Superman.
I also like the New Krypton/War of the Supermen storyline though.

I notice they used an actual photograph for their post… isn’t photography “traditional” artwork? Why not generate a person with weirdly smooth features, 6 and a half fingers on one hand, a pencil that looks vaguely like a bunch of dry spaghetti, and a sports team jersey with a garbled illegible logo? It’s so much faster, more accessible and less misogynistic.

Are we calling him flip flopper or treasuring him with the chankla? Cuz I’m here for both.

There’s no “people” involved in that decision. There’s Trump. If he barred any public opinion he wouldn’t be half as destructive as he is.

You’re probably remembering the 2nd generation of the Mighty Morphin Rangers era, the one with the Thunderzords. Some of the cast leave (yellow, black, red, and pink Rangers) and get new recruits that take their place.

- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 weeks ago:
I’m guessing he first encountered the word in text without having heard it and his brain guessed it rhymes with “jaguar”, which is understandable.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 weeks ago:
So on the one hand, I think you are going to find almost nobody agrees with your pronunciation. On the other hand, you should wear your mispronunciations with pride because what that tells me is that you were a reader growing up and likely came about this word the first time in text without any other context, maybe even many times before you heard it spoken. Your brain made an educated guess (I’m guess pulling from the pronunciation of “jaguar”?). It got it wrong, but understandably so, and it has cemented in your brain. Fix it if you care to, but no real need. Either way, kudos for being a young reader.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 weeks ago:
Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?

Cute girl: “Oh, Light, you’re so cute. Let me give you my number.” … “Oh shoot, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow?”
Light: “Uh, yeah…” absentmindedly rips piece of the Death Note out “Uh, here you go…”
Cute girl: scribbles number on page “and there you go, cutey” walks away
Light: looks at paper “Oh… Oh no. ‘555-5555 TTYL, Light Yagami’? … Fuck.”
