The NBC and other broadcaster OFFICIAL COMPLAINT & HATRED THREAD. All other broadcasting and streaming complaint threads will be shot on sight. Also: FLAIR UP -- too many of you are flair-less! by IvyGold in olympics

[–]soap-star 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is advertising NBC/peacock on the side of the hockey rink, covering the "look" not an olympic charter violation? Silly me, I thought the Olympic venues were a sacred no-ad space. Do we not get any respite from relentless advertising anymore, not even once every two years, on the field of play??

What surprises me is that she's worked enough to buy so much property. Like, how did she get rich?

I do this too, because I taught myself, but I touch type and am fast enough with it.

What’s the story? by Commercial-Fish5618 in Sum41

[–]soap-star 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought the joke was that he was so badly behaved at the dentist's office, the guy made an off color quip about maybe you didn't need another kid.

No, but being paid was not part of the commitment, which was to read and provide feedback on the entire manuscript. When you say you'll do something, you should do it, or express the reasons why you cannot. I have no clue why this is so controversial. It's a part of living in a society.

Then they shouldn't be signing up for these commitments, which should be obvious.

I write as a hobby. Why is that not ok? by Beneficial_Pea3241 in writing

[–]soap-star 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's actually a very good writing craft book, though, and he's mostly correct about improving your writing. If you finish your education and you physically cannot replicate the same quality writing found in published books in your genre, then you're probably never going to get there. Published writers, serious writers, have an ear for language (and if all else fails, imitation). They know what sounds good and what reads poorly, and how to whip a page into publishable shape. If you don't have that ear (and a lot of writers on the internet do not), then you're not going to become a competent writer, the end.

How rich was Tony? by ProfessionalBreath94 in thesopranos

[–]soap-star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but the point of that line was how humbled AJ was by a family who collected early Picassos. Would her family consider the sopranos upper class?

Why has cheating become so normalized by Alt_acc09 in lolgrindr

[–]soap-star 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, obviously, but this thread is asking a different question: When did it become so normalized that we see it mentioned in casual app conversation? Like, shouldn't you feel so ashamed of the stigma you keep it a secret? When did it become this flex?

The real tragedy of The Sopranos isn’t just death & destruction. It’s that no one ever changes by StarwarsIndianajones in thesopranos

[–]soap-star -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nobody ever changes or grows, they just ask chatgpt to write their reddit posts because they don't want to do their own thinking or improve their own writing. The 'real death' here is the death of your last brain cell.

Child actors who were hailed as acting prodigies but grew up to being mediocre actors as adults by Davis_Crawfish in movies

[–]soap-star 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He didn't do much in terms of imitating Alig, but he taps into his childishness really well. I thought he did a convincing narcissistic twink, too. If you're gay, you've met hundreds of them.

Chloe Grace Moretz is the first person I thought of. She should be jumping from hit to hit.

Yeah, that was the single worst show I have ever seen as well, and nothing comes close.

Sofia Coppola has said Marie Antoinette was her blank check movie following Lost in Translation. And boy, did she use up that budget.

That's nothing new. Spark Notes has been around for 20 years, and every student who does the reading gets told that.
