How exactly could you make Animal Farm, a fairy tale about the dangers of letting pigs run a farm instead of humans, out to be some kind of anti-communist parable? You'd have to be pretty sick in the head to twist a harmless book like that into some kind of political tract.

The chuds are always whining "keep politics out of my media" and then when they go and make a movie thanks to controlling every media company they turn it into this kind of propaganda. Every accusation is a confession.

With Fox's appearance in the Mario Galaxy movie, Star Fox is back in public consciousness.

So they're sitting on two Star Fox games for this service.

Now would be a great time to drop them.

(Adventures is… quite the trip I'll tell you what)

I worked on a pilot a while back that was basically this concept but for police procedurals. My eventual goal was to kill off the main character at the end of the first season and completely transform the show into a supernatural horror procedural.

These kinds of ideas always sound really fun on paper but getting executives (and audiences) to buy into them is so fucking hard.

I can almost believe this is a real pitch because he does the exact thing that other shows and movies have done where the most interesting thing happens at the very end and then they creators are like "if we get a sequel then we go really crazy!" ...and then their show/movie of course gets cancelled instead because they spend their entire first chance on setting up the interesting thing instead of just doing the interesting thing.

That's not true? What's the source on this? I looked online and I don't see where that's a requirement.

But you don't have to stay at a hotel, you can stay at an airbnb, you can stay at a much cheaper and more authentic area too.

You mean why didn't he stay at the home of someone who is likely vastly poorer than he is, likely without electricity that would severely impede on his job?

Maybe break it up with segments where said randos get to challenge him in a MK-style "test your might" battle of fist versus IKEA products (IRL revenue opportunities there finance brehs).

Just raw dog footage of smasher repeatedly hitting the wrong button, screaming "just fucking do it rrrngh" etc..

Anyway, Mangione is making white-sumpremicist penpal friends.  

Podcaster and Trump supporter Patrick Bet-David revealed on Monday he’s exchanged letters with someone he did not expect to hear from: Alleged murderer Luigi Mangione.

“This was written as if a kid went to Harvard or Yale — good writer, sense of humor, sarcasm, witty, even a riddle in there,” Bet-David said. “You can tell he’s very intellectual, deep meaning in the way he’s writing his stuff.”

Mangione actually went to a different Ivy League school — the University of Pennsylvania, following his graudation from his $42,000-per-year high school in Baltimore.

-David was surprised but not entirely shocked to hear from Mangione, because the alleged killer had mentioned the podcaster’s book “Your Next Five Moves” in a letter last year outlining 27 things he was grateful for.

https://www.mediamatters.org/jesse-watters/podcast-host-patrick-bet-david-provides-safe-space-guests-push-bigotry-and-conspiracy

Podcaster Patrick Bet-David provides a platform for far-right figures to promote conspiracy theories and bigotry, potentially to millions of people. Bet-David’s PBD Podcast has allowed guests to promote the white nationalist “great replacement” theory, claim that homosexuality is being pushed on children, and push conspiracy theories about mail-in ballot harvesting.

Bet-David has interviewed a variety of right-wing guests on his podcast, including Fox host Jesse Watters, alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate, and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, as well as celebrities not involved in politics.

Bet-David gave Andrew Tate, who has also been banned from YouTube, multiple long-form interviews on his channel, allowing Tate to push his claims of innocence after he was arrested on human trafficking charges in Romania

Bet-David complained that Christians are “too tolerant” of the LGBTQ community and said they are now “paying the price” for their perceived tolerance

Bet-David implied that the Texas Rangers won the World Series because they “didn’t cave to LGBTQ.”

But he's probably just facing social pressures and it's actually a systemic issue in prisons.

Aside from the killing the main character "twist" that's seemingly irrelevant to the show, his pitch is Lucifer. The show becomes less about the police cases and more about the supernatural elements starting in the second season.

Cuban diaspora or gusanos are some of the worst people in the world so I'd rather not listen to them thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusano

Gusano (lit. worm, fem. gusana)[1] is the Spanish language term for "worm". It is a name coined by Fidel Castro originally referring to those who fled Cuba after the overthrow of the dictator Fulgencio Batista. Later it was used to describe Cuban exiles in general, and their Cuban-American descendants.[2][3][4]

When I mean mess, I mean the easy marks we for racism and grievance politics. It's a multicultural society--Chinese, Malay, and South Asian (Indian/etc). There's extensive public housing and a very good retirement program.

Yes, it's basically one party rule. And like any country, it does have problems. It's also smaller, which makes it easier to govern. But it's also rather rich and has a high standard of living.

With Brexit and now Trump in the US, it just seems we never solved the multicultural angle in these places. That said I'm also aware of the history of white colonialism in these countries, that's a hard nut to crack.

What can we learn from Singapore's success with a multicultural society?

Last week I met a woman. We're the same age and we're in the same profession. Honestly, from the moment I first saw her, I was already thinking about how I could introduce myself. Somehow it actually happened and we ended up meeting.

Our first conversation lasted about two hours and it went much better than I expected.

She's really intelligent and very fun to talk to. We also have very similar taste in TV shows. I recommended a few shows to her and asked for some recommendations from her as well. After about two hours she said she had to leave, and I told her I could walk her to the metro. She said it wasn't necessary, but I told her getting some fresh air would be good for me anyway.

While we were walking to the metro we were joking around and the atmosphere was really nice. Just as I was about to head back, I turned around one more time and looked at her again. I don't know if that was the right thing to do, but I was honestly really impressed by her.

We agreed to meet again in about 10 days. Normally I wouldn't wait that long, but I have an important exam in next week. Two days later I called her and we talked for more than an hour. I genuinely enjoy talking to her and I'd like to spend more time with her. Our plan for Friday is still on.

Now I have a few questions on my mind. I don't want to bring up topics like relationships or marriage this early, but I think she probably realized that I like her. The reason we initially met was actually to talk about possibly working on a project together. But we decided to drop that idea because she said her new job will be very busy and I probably wouldn't be able to find something suitable for her in the project. Even though the project idea is off the table, we're still meeting and talking.

I try not to make my feelings too obvious, but I think she might have noticed anyway.

So on Friday we're basically going on something like a date. It will probably be the first time we can sit somewhere comfortably and talk for a longer time. I'm wondering whether I should invite her for coffee or suggest dinner instead. I'm definitely planning to pay the bill. If she offers to split it, I was thinking about jokingly saying we can celebrate her first paycheck from her new job next time.

Another question I have: should I offer to pick her up and drop her off with my car, or would that be too much for a first date? I'd like to do it, but I also don't want to make her uncomfortable.

Do you think I should just focus on getting to know her better for now, or should I try to make my intentions clearer by asking questions about relationships and long-term goals? What kind of boundaries should the conversation have?

I know it's still very early to say anything serious, but I honestly like her a lot and I would like something to develop between us. I just want to make the right moves and not mess things up. Do you have any advice?

First of all asking Era for dating advice?!?!? You know he's going to fumble the ball. 


9 hrs later 

And my date has officially cancelled.

Didn't even get to touch the ball

I guess the update is better than what I expected which was, "This girl I really like has blocked me, i think I misunderstood her signals and thought it was a date."

And then I worked in a video store and everyone said I was gonna be the next Tarantino cos he worked in a video store too and I was like him. My boss kept saying I should make movies and I was like are you trying to groom me dude, cuz I don’t swing that way guy. Just letting you know. I’ve met you Hollywood types before. Then my coworker Jack Black started saying I should totally be in movies on account of how much I reminded him of Tarantino. And I said are you trying to groom me dude, cuz I don’t swing that way guy. Just letting you know. Then my other coworker Kevin Spacey said I should totally be in movies cos I was like Tarantino, but good. And I said are you trying to groom me dude, cuz I don’t swing that way guy. Just letting you know. And he said come into the store room guy and look at my script then he gave me a drink which tasted funny and I woke up several hours later
