At this point I just assume the whole internet is actually Loss in some way or the other

I mean yeah

The only subreddit I still check is /r/cfb because it’s by far the best college football specific part of the internet and my Fanactus account seems to have been deleted. I’m not disclosing what my old account was but I was a upper mid level account there for about 7 years, not bragging just framing, it has gotten really fucking shilly in comparison to even last year although itd been happening for a while. It crescendoed with the release of the new college football madden analog, which does make logical sense for why, but there was some hard corporate dick riding. I don’t care for sports video games that don’t involve Mario or have the word Jam in the title so I don’t know if the game is any good but it was obviously paid

Obviously they are different levels and types of abuse, but I look at the friends I grew up in my local church with, who put their kids in the same church as soon as they can the same way. Like they weren’t talking about how fucked up it was less than 5 years ago.

I’m glad you are doing better and hope you can move past the trauma somehow! I wish you the best of luck!

The only entertainment thing I would want AI doing are feature length high quality crossovers like this, I already have TNG characters cast in my head, Picard as Arthur, Riker as Lancelot, Data as Galahad, Q as the Frenchman, Jordy as Bedevere, Wesley as Robin, Worf as the Black Knight, O’Brien is the animator, Crusher is Zoot, Troi Tasha Guinan as the three headed creture, Spock as Tim the Enchanter, Kirk as the old man. I need to watch the other shows clearly, missing the Knights who say Ni/IckyIckyIckyCapang, the father and son in the castle, Concord, Patsy etc

Do we really need more methods of mass murder? In theory it would be a good replacement for the world annihilating threat of nuclear war, but I’m sure those at the levers of power would also have much less problem using it on an unruly population center or group of dissidents. Takes us one step further to complete domination by the rich

Sorry to hear that friend, glad you made it out though

If any of us just vaped in a theater we would probably be asked to leave but it wouldn’t be a big deal. It somehow seems like it’s worse because an elected official should behave better than my dumb ass 8 beers deep at a dive bar bathroom.

Obviously the exhibitionism is even trashier and more upsetting

Goddamn it Cobb county, why does Atlanta let you keep existing

Even before I was an adult and learned how terrible these places are whenever they’d show up on some daytime tv show as a solution to a kid in trouble with the law or “headed down a bad path”, it was plane as day they were just abuse centers. My parents are far from perfect but there’s no way either of them would’ve sent any of us to one regardless of what we were doing.

It just further proves that the primary driving philosophy of conservatism is in groups and out group, one to be protected and one to be bound

They might kinda do it sometimes in a transparently pandering way so long as it makes them money, but no not in any meaningful way. Roger Goodell is a shitbag liar

Light blue for me but Reggie blue will do

It wouldn’t surprise me at all, that thinking has infected everything.

He and everyone else in those movies killed it imo. I was suspect about Timothy Chalamet but Lisan Al-Gaib made me a believer

I don’t disagree with him on the point that the old model has been broken but I think it’s more complex. I think it was Matt Damon that said steaming has hurt the creative side of the industry because dvd sales can’t make the budget back for risky project anymore. That’s not the full issue either though. Theater experience has been going down and there’s a billion other ways to get entertainment in a social way now. This all leads to studios desperate to keep the spice flowing to only back what they believe are sure returns on investment while simultaneously trying to cut costs by reducing or at least limiting the compensation to creatives. There aren’t as many risks getting taken and producers are reclaiming the power that had long been surrendered to directors and writers.

We’re almost back to the old studio system, if we ain’t already there

This is wonderful news, can’t wait to hear what Dan and Jordan from Knowledge Fight move onto next

Look Billy Carter was a drunk but no one was ever as drunk as Nixon in the White House

Hail Hydra

It’s wild how many great franchises he and Ian McKellan played such pivotal roles in
