Today, anything that could possibly incite violence or impart "otheredness" towards an "oppressed" people group will not do in film, the risk is too high (albeit manufactured from nothing), lest they experience the total

A melting pot devoid of individual culture or expression. It's ridiculous. They forced as many races as they possibly could into the same scenes, representing the "same" peoples to check a box for representation (cheaply) in

While the other way (loading each image as you view them, or lazy) is functionally equivalent to waiting in line for each separate dish, which isn't quite so fun. Maybe gallery sites could consider offering a preference to load all ima

Central providers should never have the ability to hold your business hostage for any reason. It's for this reason that people are losing massive amounts of trust in them, yet they seem to be the only viable option for most. The concep

Achieving something evokes a feeling of loss that you have to bear until you've found whatever is next. It's not unlike experiencing a death or break-up. This happens when you finish a book, video game, or TV show you've inve

The gun emoji was converted to a squirt gun en masse because #oh-mai-gawd-guns-evil. Yet a pretty decent chunk of our entertainment in shows, movies, and games include (gasp!) guns that resemble over the top usage against other human beings

Funny the agenda-laden downvotes I'm receiving as well, despite ample evidence. Only an artifact of folks perceiving a conspiratorial political bias before considering the damage the WEF is in fact doing to the world by installing unel

I felt this way about Supraland. It came out of nowhere from friends recommending it and had already been out for years, and once I tried it, I couldn't put it down and had to see it to the very end. Now I'm eager to play the sequ

Especially when there are plentiful examples of cancel culture in the news on a nearly weekly basis. Arguing against the existence of empirical evidence showing real consequences is absolutely gaslighting, and I see it all the time from pri

All people are fallible — by this logic, you should stop buying anything at all. Someone associated with anything you purchase or use just might have a scary opinion you can't tolerate, and we can't have that, can we now? Oh the a

I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely zero sense. Gaslighting your audience means you, as a publisher of information, openly states to your viewers that they aren't capable of finding credible information themselves, and discerning

Agreed. I see this as a result of Spotify avoiding risks: 1. to not lose as many customers as possible who are outraged with Rogan — maybe they did the math based on advertising profiling. 2. to not lose Joe Rogan, one of the most popular s
