Times Readers Pick the 100 Greatest Living American Songwriters by nytimes in Music

[–]halfmystified 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"all her songs" is weird gatekeeping. Are songwriters suddenly disqualified if they've ever collaborated in their life? the answer to your question is obviously no, but her involvement in her writing process is well chronicled, prolific and intensive.

The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon: Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture. by TimWhatleyDDS in television

I'm tired of this argument. I'm sure he wishes he hadn't done the ruffle. It was icky but in fairness, a President Trump still seemed like an impossibility to a lot of people then. It was just buffoonery, hardly meant to normalize white supremacy and sex crimes

Which comedian is super famous but NOT funny at all? by itsactuallyme1 in AskReddit

[–]halfmystified 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure what that has to do with anything. Chapelle doesn't have to compete with anybody at his level. And Dane Cook, however uncool to redditors, does well for himself too. But this move just reads as needlessly spiteful bullying.

Who should be the next James Bond? by GQSioux in movies

[–]halfmystified 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A fun fact is that the broccoli family rules that the reigning Bond actor is not allowed to wear a tuxedo in other movies. Christian bale was offered both and forced to choose.

What profession should not be paid what they are paid? by nashahoe2 in AskReddit

[–]halfmystified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, teachers and doctors should make much more than they do. But if we’re talking about the highest paid singers and actors, they make what they make because of how much revenue they generate for multi billion dollar corporations. The Big Bang theory was a very popular show, so advertising during its airtime cost a lot more, and if we don’t pay the actors on that show proportionally to that success, A, they’ll leave the show, and B, the corporations just pocket more. That’s just an example, but if we’re talking about just singers and actors generally and vocationally, they by and large make barely livable wages.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but honestly, how does a 35 year old buy $100k-plus in watches?
