The real tragedy is that because anyone bringing even the slight political criticism or discourse of the American Republic is criticized with meaningless hyperboles, thus destroying any chance of having a real discussion about political sciences.
I miss direct-to-tv or dvd. At least in the cases where a write off made sense studios chose to just release it and make money on the rentals and syndication.
Even music is struggling from the streaming model; music discovery which was handled by stores and radios is much harder nowadays. At least in my opinion.
Sounds like your gripe is with people requiring accounts for reading public content, and not with preventing usage of automated email creation and trying to limit bots on your website.
We were discussing validation, not parsing. There’s no parsing in an email. You might give it a type once it passes validation, but an email is just a string with an @ in it (and likely some . because you want at least 1 TLD but even that I’m not sure).
Maybe Americans should explore not voting the rich and powerful into permanent roles. There are real limitations of what you can do with a president after their time in office and it makes sense that you’d want security details and special rights for past presidents.
The right thing to do would have been not to elect Trump as a meme. We shat the bed, now we see the consequences. Let’s see if people are still as stupid as ever.
There is a distinction between nonsense and lies though, and it’s not intent. Trump nonsense is closer to just insanity and dementia than lies. For telling lies, first you have to make sense.
Everyone, literally every big studio, tried to launch their universe. Wizard Universe, Hasbro Universe, Jumpstreet Universe, Transformers Universe, Star Wars Universe, do you remember The Mummy and the Dark Universe? Shit Call of Duty was going to get its universe at some point.
Producers saw that a universe can be highly profitable and just said “I want some of that” (add to it that it’s actually fun and people do want some connected content). They didn’t care about quality though. And Disney doesn’t care about quality, it just so happen that Marvel hit that lightning in a bottle.
The shift now for connected storylines is towards series with spinoffs as needed (The Boys, Invincible, LOTR, why can’t I think of a non-Prime example, I guess ASOFAI/). It’s healthier and easier to test ideas. But even there we saw plenty of low quality low success stuff.
Basically markets shifted and producers are trying to find what they can sell, spending billions on sets and CGI but forgetting to get good writers and directors.
Kaizo speedrunners disagree.
