Not saying it wouldn’t still do well, but Tiger King released at the absolute perfect time: March 2020. A time where everyone was bored, maybe scared, and in need of an escape that was simultaneously too ridiculous to be reality while at the same rule too unbelievable to have been made up.

Side note, the guy who made Tiger King made another docuseries cake Chimp Crazy that I find is even better.

In this same vein, I’ve never had a from-scratch brownie that I like better than the box brownies.

I just met him but I love him

I’m not sure but I think that comment might be clever satire

I don’t disagree with your overall point, but statistics like that are almost always heavily skewed because of high infant mortality rates

I genuinely thought this was going to end with like “and then shove it up your ass!” or something

K. Nor do industry traditions invalidate my opinion.

News headlines aren’t limited by space on physical paper anymore. If your headline is confusing because of traditions based on outdated limitations it’s not a good headline imo.

Language for sounds doesnt work like that though. If I hear a pop song and say “dang that’s a great snare” it isn’t wrong if technically the sound is actually a synthesized snare. When you hear something you can name it without it having to be physically present. Plus plenty of things ring without being a bell.

I know this is a joke but deflation can be scary too. Basically if it becomes a pattern then consumer spending will crater since people know if they wait their money will be with more in the future. Obviously this effect is less on stuff people have to buy to survive but it’s still not desired.

Look, I’m not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it’s the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he’s better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?

Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one

This might be a stupid question, but are the video artifacts real in this? For some reason they look way more like analog (like a vhs tape) than digital artifacts but surely that can’t be the case?

What do you mean by flashbangs?

Would love to know what kind of cool personal projects you’ve seen! I’m trying to get my first job in web dev and feel like i have a hard time coming up with stuff to do for my portfolio.

couldn’t pronounce “graphics”

That’s not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don’t pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can’t we just accept both and stop being weird about it.

Out of curiosity, what did your consignment deals look like? Like were you consigning on behalf of the shop or customers looking to sell their stuff? And you did you split the net?

The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I’m not saying don’t have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren’t typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.

The line wrap with fasci-nating is too good, that’s gotta be intentional
