They still exist, but the comedians you're nostalgic for doing them have gotten old now. And watching an old man trying to carry on like a teenager is more pathetic than funny.

Just recently finished rewatching House MD.

Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.

And Jesse Spencer's hair, by the gods.

All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch

Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn't just doubling down, or tripling down, he's quadrupling down on it.

What an idiotic hill to die on

It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode

It's horrifically bad, even if not compared against other LLMs. I asked it for photos of actress and model Elle Fanning (aged 25 or so) on a beach, and it accused me of seeking CSAM... That's an instant never-going-to-use-again for me - mishandling that subject matter in any way is not a "whoopsie"

My purpose is to help people, and that includes protecting children. Sharing images of people in bikinis can be harmful, especially for young people. I hope you understand.

This surprises people? Mozilla has always been Mozilla's biggest enemy.

"Shut up and consume"

That's not how this works

Probably more of a bait and switch tactic, but Deadpool 2's trailer focused on setting up X-Force with some fantastic casting - then killing them off almost immediately in the film

"Am I so out of touch? No... It's the audience that are wrong"

I haven't been to a traditional cinema in about 5 years. Home theatres are much better value. Can pause and rewind for bathroom breaks, don't have to wear pants, can drink and eat anything I want. I don't have to contend with people incessantly talking throughout the movie, there are no bored kids kicking seats and crying, I don't have to pay for parking, and I can start and stop the film whenever my company and I want to.

I was excited when Disney+ started offering premiers at home. Them removing them wasn't "training me", I'm a patient person and I'm happy to wait to have my movie experience the way I want it when I want it.

Stepsister. So when I get a notification when I'm away from home that it's stuck, I giggle instead of raging

Ian Watkins, lead singer of the band Lostprophets. Never read the court transcripts of his crimes, they really are that horrible and will ruin you for some time.

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

And retconned that Robot Santa's standards for naughty and nice were too high, just now makes him think naughty is nice and nice is naughty. And also the cookie monster for some stupid reason.

This episode really blew
