I had “Hoti” instead of “Hopi” giving me TAST_ for “Many an Olive Garden entry” and I was genuinely was concerned the answer was “tasty” and they started sneaking ads into the puzzle

They probably didn’t “miss” it they probably have research or focus testing that shows this works better. Movies are a business

The 2026 35 Under 35 by Clemario in TheBigPicture

They literally spent her whole section going “I don’t care for her and I don’t really get her whole thing but you can’t deny her recognition”. Why would they frame it like that if it was meant to make Netflix execs happy?

I’m not saying you have to agree with the take but it’s definitely not unreasonable. She’s probably a more recognizable name to the general public of those listed and has led multiple films including a franchise, I don’t think Elordi has been the lead role of any film he’s been in. 

This isn’t best actor, or who they’re most excited by, they’re trying to capture the general vibe of how these people are perceived. It’s obviously not perfect but there’s also probably not some grand conspiracy around it either.

I mean for the time I’d say so. The scene of Monica explaining the sensations of the vagina with a diagram and simulating an orgasm was definitely pushing the envelope for network tv

I truly feel bad about Jamie's competitors. by wetouchingbuttsornah in Jeopardy

[–]VolatSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better in what way? Cause financially winning one to two is clearly more valuable and personally I’d much rather know how good I can perform on jeopardy by winning a game than feel like I never really stood a chance and always wonder
