I think the difference is that sealioning is a pattern of behavior, rather than just occasionally asking for a source. It describes the lack of intent to engage in good faith discussion and instead just is a method of trolling.

Or you could just do the thing yourself with less effort and less wasted resources. The true Turing test is knowing when something doesn’t need fucking AI to do.

I think you’re confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn’t done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.

Not sure, but your description reminds me of Mercury Rising with Bruce Willis? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120749/

One other thing I haven’t seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they’ve always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

Honestly, one of the many damning things about Hollywood is that she has a career at all. She straight up can’t act. It’s not even that she acts poorly - she’s so devoid of personality that she can’t emote on screen. Hell, even in the Hot Ones interview she seemed to be merely going through the motions of reacting. I don’t usually care about claims of someone just being a nepobaby, but in her case I can’t imagine anyone would know who she is if it weren’t for who her parents are.

What a fucking waste of resources

That was the one that came immediately to mind for me - there was a behind the scenes thing where he talked about sourcing and using these very niche old lenses.

Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the “N” word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said “oh, that was so long ago!”. I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you’re complaining about how I’m trying to castrate the guy.

If you don’t like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don’t idolize an asshole? But don’t come into public spaces and try and sell it as “Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn’t weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he’s changed now.”

Yeah, because there hasn’t been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there’s another apology video? There have been so many, after all.

The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

“Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth.”

Yeah, if you don’t see “nazi” after that, that’s on you I think.

More so for being/cosplaying (same thing) as a fucking nazi https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/2/17/14613234/pewdiepie-nazi-satire-alt-right

If they knew about the attack, wouldn’t it have been easier to move the planes or stop the trucks carrying the drones? I admit the tires were weird, but may have been more to counter surveillance than to counter drone targeting. Can’t see any reason why they’d let Ukraine blow up billions in critical hardware to prove a point.

Was trying to figure out when this was published - looks like April 1949. Unfortunately all too timeless.

He won about 3 out of every 5 states - most of which have low populations. By percentage, he didn’t surpass 50% nationwide and only won by 1.5%.

Two weeks of full days - jury duty

Yeah, this post is misleading as he just gave the commencement address this year - yesterday in fact. Already received quite a bit of coverage and some outlets have not only articles but the full transcript: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-commencement-speech-full-transcript-2067064

Anyone not knowing that might see this and be confused as the date isn’t noted in the post.

I’ve been married for more than 30yrs - and the sometimes harsh (but constructive) feedback an editor needs to supply is not a model for a lasting marriage. Also, a spouse has different motivations than a professional, independent editor provided by a publisher.

As for the writing, every single person who has ever talked to me about WoT mentions the world-building and overall story, but I’ve never heard anyone praise Jordan’s writing style, dialog, or pacing - if it’s mentioned at all, it’s usually in the nature of “there’s problems with the writing but the story makes it worth it.” While the novels may resonate with folks for good reason, that doesn’t change the fact that the writing - from a technical standpoint - is subpar.

Wasn’t implying anything about her gender causing an issue and weird that you chose to go there. My point was that an editor is supposed to provide direct, impartial, and sometimes cutting feedback to an author. In addition to providing basic copy editing, an editor on a novel has to be able to call an author on their BS, and I don’t believe she did that in editing her husband’s books.

The writing is repetitive, long-winded, and self-indulgent. The novels have absolutely no sense of pacing and plotting is not done with any sort of strategy. She may have been a fantastic editor, but her husband’s works were poorly edited, and the fact that she was his wife I think speaks volumes as to why.
