  As a web dev myself, I know the sheer amount of money that would have to go into monkey patching together all these disparate protocols and ancient APIs, plus the regulatory requirements, and that’s BEFORE worrying about consumer AND vendor adoption. The only reason to get into it is if the service is secondary to chasing a lucrative buyout before you get crushed by some multinational online retail cartel you never knew existed (but always suspected), or Google AEEs you.

  Fintech blows.

  If I’m being honest, the only thing stopping me from shopping at other sites is having to put my personal and payment details in yet another site for it to go stale, or fall out of my memory, or get leaked in the next big hack.

  Some sites have “pay with Amazon” (more likely PayPal, but… ugh. I don’t remember why, but I hate it), but I’d love to see some universal adoption of some sort of payment and shipping details lockbox. Like SSO where you can revoke access to subscribers or something.

  Survivorship bias, I think

  If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.

  Questionable! There was the whole thing when Jessica Walter spoke out about Jeffery Tambor that was very disappointing.

  This thread is really alarming if you’re like me and got Patrick Bateman confused with Jason Bateman

  Seconded. I’m a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies

  I hate that thing

  Plus a classic transformation into a found family narrative, mind you. That part is fun, if found families are your thing.

  Sorry, I’m still watching the opening sequence of motion picture, I’ll let you know what I think when it’s done.

  But for real, I feel like the last season of Picard was finally a chance to see the TNG TV characters in action in a TNG movie.
