nobody

Zoe - no. I don't think she could pull off the laissez-faire attitude needed for the part. Zendaya - no. Too young to pass for a swashbuckling pirate and I don't think she could handle the action parts Margot - yes. I like her as Harley Quinn, and this is a non-psychotic version of that. Ayo - ??. Seems to young for this type of role, but I have no idea who she is. Keira - Not funny enough, and difficult to buy her as tough If they were desperate for a minority female to play the role, I'd look at the woman who played black panther's sister. She's funny and can do enough action to get by.

Well I don't know if anything is racist here. They should hire the person they think is going to make them the most money. It's clearly pandering to wokism, but they obviously think that's the most profitable strategy. Would it still be pandering? Yes.

I saw a story on twitter indicating they're making a Pirates of the Caribbean replacing Johnny Depp with a black chick playing an Irish female pirate. Board racists, your thoughts?

I might drown myself. I love in California and put up with the high taxes and the libs because of the weather. Now I have high taxes, libs, and I live in a soggy burrito.

I said I'm two episodes in and I said "so far" In also said "not much" and I didn't say none. That's the first time I've seen them bring up anything about white people. Although the super-feminist thing the chick has is on full display. I think that's supposed to be part of the story. It's just annoying as hell. But if you're so desperate to be offended, feel free. I won't stop you.

There's actually not that much woke in this so far.

I've watched the first two episodes. It's decent.

Darling nikki

He's not cancelled. He just violated the first rule of being a politician - always pretend you care. The truth is none of them do, but they can't let people know that. All he has to do is pretend he double-triple cares and he'll be fine. That's what Biden does with his racism. He tries to hide it by pretending to be double-triple not racist, and people really believe he's not racist.

It's weird how people misuse the concept of quantum superposition and no one seems to call them out on it, but it sounds good and he said a bunch of mathy stuff, so it must be SCIENCE! and therefore unassailable. I guess the video bugs me because, they know people aren't going to know what superposition is and how it relates to the double slit experiment, nuclear fusion, etc., and no one is going to follow the mathematical jargon he threw out " but won't get into now" (because he totally could, he just doesn't want to), so the end result is this must be true because it's complicated.

I don't feel sorry for them at all

Like bro... That was your employee. Maybe you should've had better processes in place.

I'd counter sue for $20M and claim the jags tried to defraud FanDuel by wagering funds with the intent on claiming they should be reimbursed in the event they lost money.

A similar thing happened to me in a high school game once. A guy got mad because I was blocking him out, and he grabbed me by my neck from behind and dragged me to the ground. That almost started a fight between our teams. In an act of karma, later on the guy hurt his knee while I was guarding him and went down in a crumpled heap. I took the ball from him as he laid there and stepped over him to go down the court. His teammates were pissed because I didn't stop to address the injury, so I asked, "I'm supposed to give a about the dude who drug me to ground 20 minutes ago?" That almost started a fight too, but we just did the basketball thing where we take turns lightly shoving each other.

Sure. In general, you'll be right more often than wrong, so why just throw it all out?

Depends on how fast you could get the punt off, but yeah, of you could catch it and get it off in the right amount of time as well as punt it 200 yards you'd be pretty sought after.

Shake it off

I think you'd have a pretty high hit rate on what folks' beliefs are. And I'm quite sure you're very unique and complex so that wouldn't apply to you, but in general it's probably not inaccurate.

I remember a story about 15 years ago, before stores and marketing were as sophisticated as it is today. Target was sending pregnancy ads to some family's house addressed to the teenage daughter. The father got all pissed and went to target to complain that they were marketing pregnancy stuff to his teen. Turns out they knew she was pregnant because she bought like a certain bag and some lotion or some shìt. Then target started burying the targeted ads in with other stuff so it didn't look as creepy. Moral of the story is it's pretty easy to figure out people from a few data points.

To be fair, a lot of times you can tell what people think by what they write. I don't get why everyone thinks they're so much more complex and unique than everyone else. The whole Cambridge analytics thing, Facebook, AI, etc. is based on the fact that it's pretty easy to extrapolate beliefs based on a few data points.

How the fūck does a judge win or lose?

The vast majority of people have never totalled a car in their lives. I get everyone thinks they're the greatest driver in the world, but if you've totaled two cars because people pulled out in front of you, you're probably not driving carefully enough. Fault or no fault.

Wait. It was a study? Oh, that makes it easy. Guys just say it's flawed.
