Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

When Terry Crews came out about his sexual assault. So many men publicly derided him. I felt so bad for Terry.

For the record, fifty cent, Vlad from VladTV, DL Hughley were those that made fun of Terry and some even insinuated he was possibly gay.

Yeah I stopped when Lane got there. Up until that point I was a staunch advocate of the show. I felt the finale and premiere of some of those seasons were some of the best TV I’ve seen.

I mean I haven’t watched it since university, not sure if it holds up, but I remember it being amazing.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

Ana Kasparian says no.

Which I found odd but whatever…

lol, it’s alright, it’s cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don’t play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it’s such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to “dance” in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn’t he already in Call of Duty?

we’re entering a dangerous territory where women are being treated like people … think of where this slippery slope can go … /s

I think Sam Seder was talking about how he did this set in an NYC comedy club the night before and it bombed there too.

“You know that’s a joke,” Rogan said. “That’s like going to a Quentin Tarantino movie [and saying], ‘And then the man killed that woman.’ Like, he didn’t really kill that woman … this is a movie.”

I don’t know where to begin. Joe said earlier that it isn’t a comedy show, so don’t do a set there and then he’s calling out Obama. How about you go fuck yourself Joe. Also, you fucking suck at comedy too. Your set sucks.

The Beatles are undoubtedly a huge part of music history and a huge foundational piece of rock and roll. That being said, listen to what you like and like what you like.

I have trouble watching a lot of classic movies and find them boring. I’d like to think that’s fine!

That they all go back home and do a podcast about how the left wing and Democrats are the real enemy but they’re definitely not Nazis though.

Half of America is reciting the narcissists prayer on their behalf right now.

Cat was the person’s name, come on now.

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.
