Not saying it wouldn’t still do well, but Tiger King released at the absolute perfect time: March 2020. A time where everyone was bored, maybe scared, and in need of an escape that was simultaneously too ridiculous to be reality while at the same rule too unbelievable to have been made up.

Side note, the guy who made Tiger King made another docuseries cake Chimp Crazy that I find is even better.

In this same vein, I’ve never had a from-scratch brownie that I like better than the box brownies.

Except for they didn’t avoid it. They knew it was happening weeks in advance and didn’t do shit to stop it. Just because franchise owners have a bit of autonomy does NOT mean corporate won’t bring the hammer down if they think something will tarnish the brand.

How does searching discord work? I was under the impression that entire chat logs weren’t permanent and that older exchanges would be routinely deleted.

I genuinely thought this was going to end with like “and then shove it up your ass!” or something

How do i check my specific area on this site?

Nah, they’re resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they’re the party for “average” aka “normal”_(white) Americans.

I think it’s like an old school Georgian (the US state) accent. I have family from that area that sound exactly like that. I don’t have a problem understanding it for that reason but i could totally see not knowing wtf he’s saying. Just wanted to say there are indeed people that sound like that in case people thought it was just a British person putting on a bad southern accent.

This might be a stupid question, but are the video artifacts real in this? For some reason they look way more like analog (like a vhs tape) than digital artifacts but surely that can’t be the case?

What do you mean by flashbangs?

Would love to know what kind of cool personal projects you’ve seen! I’m trying to get my first job in web dev and feel like i have a hard time coming up with stuff to do for my portfolio.

Boy that voice over is just awful to listen to

Out of curiosity, what did your consignment deals look like? Like were you consigning on behalf of the shop or customers looking to sell their stuff? And you did you split the net?

Weird, the only times I’ve smelled biodiesel it’s mostly smelled like french fries

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

That’s pretty common grammar for news headlines; yes it means ‘and’ and yes it’s annoying/silly. It probably harkens back to print media needing to condense as much as possible to save on space and ink and it just continues because institutional traditions.

The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I’m not saying don’t have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren’t typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.

See, I actually think the F&F franchise is the exception here. The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players. If it had just been that movie, I think it would have been mostly forgotten. It’s not bad, but it’s not iconic on its own. With each subsequent one they continue to lean harder and harder in to ridiculousness to the point where suddenly we have Tyrese and Ludacris in SPACE. To me the franchise is an example of how to do the action movie right: with a huge amount of self awareness and never taking it too seriously. They know what kind of movies they’re making.

Don’t forget Oprah who amplified the idea more than they ever could have done on their own
