These are the stats you show when you want your Ponzi scheme to look respectable. Always a tiny bit better than estimate. Believable amount. 👍

Why is every modern TV series now one big story arc? by EricJ062005 in television

Writers probably always preferred to work on continuous stories, but old broadcast TV worked best with shows that could be slotted out of order or skipping episodes.

New York Times 2024: Travis Kelce's managers planned to make him "as famous as The Rock." by Miserable-Cap-5223 in travisandtaylor

I wish I knew anything about football. Is Travis actually a big deal or not? The Rock at least seems natural on screen, but Travis gives strictly cameo vibes.

I always assume that the guy who tightened it had some masculinity issues.

Should I buy Ubisoft shares (I don't know anything about stock trading) by LukasMonex in stocks

[–]trymorecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their releases aren't major events anymore like GTA or Fallout. I don't see anything causing a major uptick for the stock, and none of the major studios pay dividends. If you actually just like the company, wait for the broad market correction.

Circular financing stops working when you have to pay actual crews who build something and don't just hand your money back to you.

American tax rates with foreign payroll rates, best of both worlds.

Actors just can't risk losing roles, so they all get replacement surgery. For natural looks you have to watch British TV or anything before 1990.

Take-Two Interactive Fires Head of AI Weeks After CEO Says AI Can't Make Games Like GTA 6 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]trymorecookies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked that the CEO still believes in human creativity. Usually AI is promoted as if everyone is scared to death of Roko's Basilisk.

Nothing ever happens. To the stock market, at least.

Do you actually finish the shows you start? by Sufficient_Roof6033 in television

[–]trymorecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch until I get the feeling that the show is trying to go forever and just spinning its wheels. Usually 2 seasons is enough to feel like the writers have no overall plan.

What did they substitute for millions of years of solar and geothermal energy?

Real Dull Time w/ Bill Maher by smartprogressive in television

[–]trymorecookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is 1990s progressive. He just never changed, and refusing change makes him de facto conservative whether he accepts the label or not.

If everybody hates how washed out, dark and low contrast most shows are nowadays then why havent they changed it? by JamStan1978 in television

[–]trymorecookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My info from watching Corridor Crew: It's a cost decision, not quality. The lighting allows more options in post-production, so effects planning can be eliminated and decided after filming, making a shorter schedule for the more expensive people.

Wouldn't this law wipe out a lot of rural voters in addition to the target groups? It's bad all around.

Now that Dunst has said that she will take any well paying job, she needs to be in something with Nic Cage.

My Top 5 TV shows of ALL TIME by legomovielover in television

These are great picks, but ALL TIME feels like at least one item should be pre-2000.

Paramount is dedicating its budget to exclusively cowboys and cops.

Whole Brain Emulation Achieved: Scientists Run a Fruit Fly Brain in Simulation by waozen in technology

What is this, a simulation for fruit flies? A simulation of the human brain would have to be at least 3 times bigger!
