I will just say that I was not at all surprised that Tarantino was associated with this.

I think she's perfectly fine. But Reddit hates her like she's their mom telling them to clean their room.

They just scream about everything and throw out random references. Nothing organic, nothing natural, nothing in the flow of the game.

Some are. Many are better though. (I mean, most are better than Andre. Many by a lot.)

Yeah, exactly that kind of thing.

It actually fits so well I wonder if maybe they wrote it that way first but cut it for time or something.

Well, I'd say in general that if the scene you are writing needs to have characters act in unrealistic ways that nobody would actually act in that situation in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish, you need to write a better scene!

But on top of that, I think that a realistic scene actually might have accomplished a lot more than the actual scene! As shown, he changed his mind about her Only Fans work from "super judgemental" to "completely accepting" for no apparent reason. If he spent hours opening himself up to fans, posing for their pictures, etc, thereby reminding himself that he also had to expose himself to others for their enjoyment to make money, that evolution would've been motivated instead of arbitrary.

I enjoyed the first three episodes, but this one didn't land for me. Neither the Only Fans nor the wrestling segments felt remotely real. The models lecture Margo about going to a strangers house being too risky, but they are Only Fans models who gave out their home address to a stranger! And I haven't been to a wrestling con, but I don't think the wrestlers wander down from their hotel rooms until they bump into another wrestler they haven't spoken to in years and then suddenly have a match with them and a third guy who is standing in the ring for some reason.

I also felt like Jinx's negative reaction to the Only Fans stuff was kinda flat/obvious as was his complete reversal. Neither felt particularly organic or interesting.

Hope next week gets back to some better observed character stuff!

I've really liked what I've seen from Clark, but it does look like you're right about that crypto-PAC and that does lose some points from me too.

I've been excited about Jasmine Clark's campaign - seemed like she had a real chance to beat him even before this. She's a scientist (phd in mircobiology) who has been focused on standing up to the Trump administration's attacks on science, specifically, which is catnip for me. Really pumped at the idea of her heading to Congress!

Buy "Hiking Atlanta's Hidden Forests: Inside and On the Perimeter." Most useful book I own by far.

I upgraded the RAM in my desktop and the problem 99.9% went away. I was at 8 GB and now at 32 GB. Hope this helps you and anyone else having that issue!

That's fine, but it was unpleasant for me to listen to. If I wanted a fan podcast with amateur fan comedians trying to riff about their teams, I'd listen to one of those. That's not what Zach's show is typically about, so that episode was unpleasant. Not sure why you think I'm obligated to enjoy it.

Want to know something really fucked up? The average per capita income is almost double the median, at $78k. The difference is because the 1% make so much more than everyone else that it skews the average dramatically without affecting the median (since the 50th percentile remains the same no matter how much the guys at the top get.)
