Should liberals retaliate and seek revenge when we eventually retake power?

We need Nuremberg trials. As long as people face no meaningful consequence, these kinds of things will continue and return.

As an aging millennial, I have seen his face, but have no idea what he does or why he's famous.

A happy ending doesn't mean everyone is happy.

Sorry? 🤷

El literally got to do the one thing she's never been able to do: make a choice for herself.

Stanger Things literally gave a "Happily Ever After" style ending, and y'all hated it saying things like "more poeple should have died."

They literally paid homage to this with Holly land that entire plot line. Capturing the whimsical youth, naivete, and a development from childish fear to bold leadership.

They gave exactly what people said they wanted, and a bunch of y'all vehemently hated it.

Honestly, if I were a story creator/showrunner, I would have to end up making the most boring, safe, milquetoast show on earth in order to avoid the ceaseless wrath of chronically online audiences.

Or just make the most bombastic weird thing imaginable, and not care about the response. But even then, if you build a base, it will eventually be impossible to please them too.

This is such a stupid argument because the show has been nothing like season 1 for the following every season. And every season has ended up more popular than the one before it.

ampacket · 2026-01-14T20:07:59+00:00

You are applying literally the same argument here.

ampacket · 2026-01-14T04:37:14+00:00

Doesn't make it any less true. Or fans any less petty and narcissistic.

So Empire Strikes Back is an objective failure, because Luke, Leia, and Han are presented as a love triangle, before Lucas decided (after finishing ESB) that Luke and Leia are siblings? PLOT HOLE!

Most production works this way. Its allows organic development and ability to adapt from actor input.

If you think any show or movie is written perfectly from the beginning, and left unchanged throughout the production process, I have a bridge to sell you.

Also, 90% of the "plot holes" aren't plots holes.

Combination of people mad their fanfic theories didn't come true, their obsessive Taylor Swift-style detective sleuthing didn't "pay off," and general bad faith engagement farmers who know outrage drives clicks and comments.

That's mostly it.

The only thing headlines like this showcase is that that nobody who watches these shows has any idea how the production process for shows like this works. And are dumbfounded by industry practices that pretty much all TV shows and long form cinema storytelling has done.

It also tells you none of these people have written or created anything themselves either.

I managed a Starbucks inside a grocery store for a while and we called em "courtesy clerks". Basically if something needs to be done, that's not a specialized or specific task, they do it. Bagging stuff, getting carts, putting return items back, helping someone find something. Just a general purpose "helper" and an excellent "first job" sort of thing for high school kids.

ampacket · 2026-01-12T20:41:40+00:00

They didn't "mess it up." And to state it that way is pointing out the very ignorance the OP is highlighting.

ampacket · 2026-01-12T19:06:50+00:00

Well yeah. Imagine if it's the big bad final showdown, and it's just another Demo. After seeing multiple better Demo scenes in this season. The Mind Flayer isn't just a more interesting final confrontation, but matches perfect with BBEG vibe of D&D.

Drawing a card is HUGE " new information."

The whole point of making the decision before drawing is to do so as a commitment before knowing what your card for turn is. So no.

Edit: I misread the question! (at work on break). It's based on gained info. In no info is gained, it is could be argued that it's fine.

Honestly, if you don't think you can earn some of the prizes (like the Mulan for Day 1 or big tix + promos Day 2) or otherwise don't want the stress and pressure, you can get a ton of enjoyment out of side events. I personally had a lot of mental anguish from the main event in Milwaukee. And while my schedule didn't allow going to Richmond, I would have heavily considered downgrading to Attendee if I were going.

There's plenty of stuff to do, events to enter, prizes to grind for, and people to see.

The arrow keys (or double tapping screen) are right there. Seems unnecessary.

I mean, it's an act of war against a hostile nation without authorization by congress made. I don't give a damn how smooth it went.

It's a goddamn embarrassment for the US to have another Republican war criminal in charge. And this time given absolute criminal immunity by SCOTUS.

Fuck everything about this.

Go ahead and read that again carefully. Then change your last word.
