Hallmark movies have gotten popular lately at my favorite pegleg establishments. 4 if the 10 in the “featured” list are hallmark.
Last year I think we’d never see even one.
It’s because movies really suck now. We’re literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Why do movies suck now?
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 5 days ago:
The center of the bell curve. The most popular of popular media. The true fast food. Probably not.
Because being rich frees you from many of the stresses and concerns that define the populace. Your tastes are different then.
- Comment on Shitposting as public pedagogy 1 week ago:
There’s a lot to disapprove of about the whole of popular thought, modern norms, science even. Shitposting is an expression of that disapproval. And no, you can’t just frame it as a rational argument. That would be like explaining 3D to a flatlander. All you can do it shit and howl.
Not saying all shitposts are an example of this, but give them the benefit of the doubt.
- Comment on Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?' 3 weeks ago:
It’s called “genderful appropriation”. I just invented it. All the cool people will be getting offended by it really soon.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 3 weeks ago:
I build fences. 3 out of 4 words is fuck.

Ugh. Too emotional. Too rhetorical.
- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 2 months ago:
Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.
I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.
We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

I don’t care about the details. I just want an out-group to hate on.
- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 2 months ago:
I just recently heard it used that way. To describe “conservatives”. Much loke “yikes” I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.
Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it’s thirdhand.

Who are you calling an AI?

Ai has ideas? That’s a bit of a philosophical stretch.

Do they insert advertisements?
If so then the real fraud is false viewings of advertisements.
Which upsets the advertisers of course.
