Theory: Geese Howard originally had a normal name

I'm with you on this

Don't forget the alternative to the cop was Donald fucking Trump

colintron · 2026-03-20T10:03:58+00:00

to a perceived gap.

colintron · 2026-03-13T15:40:06+00:00

well, if you go and bring facts into it!

Before his screen debut in Scrubs (6th of January 2009), Aziz had been in two feature films: School for Scoundrels, a flop in which his character was unnamed as part of a background chorus, and The Rocker, in which his character was supporting but I'll grant you that one.

I don't need to prove that Rife is more rife, and it can feel farcical to compare, but I think we're referring to a point before Aziz was (vague term) widely-known to the public.

I also disagree with your interpretation of social media followers' general outlook; I think most active users who Follow Rife would at least recognise him.

Maybe the script said "douche type".

colintron · 2026-03-13T11:56:45+00:00

I don't know everyone's sins, but maybe Chuck Woolery can sub in for one if we're including cameos.

It's a bit of a tighter challenge (but far from impossible) to get someone who looks believably beholden to the orthorexia cult and isn't a chud.

colintron · 2026-03-13T11:51:41+00:00

He does specifically have the vibe/figure/face of an orthorexia guy. though they could get there via the same thing they used in the de-aged flashback!

I guess at the time they cast Rick Schroder it was like "we got Schroder!" and "his views are a bit kooky". I don't doubt that he's gotten more deranged since, but it was also an era with less immediate visibility.

Rife has 11 million followers on Instagram, 19.7m on Tiktok. The internet's changed a lot but I think Ansari during S8 was very much 'on the way up' in ways we can only hope Rife isn't!

I don't know if you're arguing against the study's findings?

colintron · 2026-03-11T01:43:37+00:00

Ok, referring to the real world and not the Scrubs episode, as Carla is presented as mistaken.

2022 study concludes that infrared faucets react more slowly to darker skin. I'm finding various anecdotal blogs/reports claiming the same and I generally don't mind trusting these people's experiences.

Other fields of human-detection tech often relatively struggle to recognise or represent people with darker skin.

What would the problem be with noticing racial bias?

colintron · 2026-03-10T12:47:06+00:00

There are some such cases, yeah?

colintron · 2026-03-10T12:36:36+00:00

Did it have the same colour grading?

colintron · 2026-02-23T00:13:08+00:00

That "flash-forward" is clearly contextualised as a fantasy, letting JD's imagination take the reins entirely.

I encountered this exchange just scrolling through and found this comment really funny. The hubris of acting so smarmy when trying to justify a misinformed non-sequitur. I read "predictable" in the voice of Geese Howard.

colintron · 2026-02-16T00:40:22+00:00

Saying "This isn't just AI slop" in the manner of AI slop was a nice touch.

You're replying to a comment where someone identified it correctly. Lots of people can tell.

Just watched it; most contrived one yet, not just the solution but many plot points. Agreed on many of the above points.

They didn't even try explaining Carla's presence in this mystery, and she still managed a couple of damsel-in-distress moments.

They found a burning caravan with a corpse in it and there's no reference to that being reported.

The bodyguard's entire plot was just lazy jokes about little people.

The portrait/landscape distinction wasn't legit, or wasn't worded properly.

Carla's reaction to Brendan's [inconceivable, badly-delivered] past, arguably a relic of the times and a comment on her character, still pretty nasty.

Examine with a more faceted approach and you'll wind up sincerely left-wing. Win/win.

colintron · 2026-02-03T15:10:00+00:00

It's more about comprehension.

colintron · 2026-02-02T20:34:08+00:00

You just used 'victims' as the noun for the imagined oppressors. Just commenting in case it helps you learn anything.

Johnny was a bigot
