It could just be that I first watched it when I was pretty young, but The Changeling from 1980 with George C. Scott is a pretty good atmospheric horror. No real gore or even deaths to speak of, but a good creepy ghost story nonetheless.
Gout, probably
You’re right, and also, fuck this timeline.
I misgendered a woman who was already very irate. This was probably 30 years ago, before trangenderism was as common as it is now (or at least as publicly presented). It did NOT go over well, to say the least. Other customers were smirking and giggling, and even a coworker was having trouble keeping a straight face. In my defense, she was heavyset, had shaved hair and a raspy voice. Luckily I didn’t say any of this to her. I just got my manager and let her yell at me (and him) for 10 minutes. I learned the value of keeping your mouth shut until you’re certain that day.
Even Media Matters admitted that the circumstances under which the antisemitic content appeared next to the named advertisers would be very hard to replicate - they basically followed only the advertisers and the antisemitic accounts to see how long it would take to link the two, but still, it’s not like they hid what they were doing. It’s not quite the gotcha that Media Matters held it out to be, but is still only a factual account - they were able to get hateful content to show up beside an advertisers name, and that’s why I’m sure X gets their ass handed to them in this lawsuit they’ve filed. It wasn’t fraudulent, or in bad faith, it was simply an exposition of what the platform can do.
I’m not sure if this is just another way of saying what others have said, but I also upvote if something accomplished the theme of the community. The example that comes to mind is from the other site, but if something on r/mademesmile actually made me smile, I upvoted. As for downvotes, I usually save them for posts that I want to be less visible for whatever reason. Sometimes that is because I disagree sometimes it is because they are reposts, or low effort trolling, etc. Right or wrong, that’s how I do it.
Kind of like a KitKat, but the filling between the wafers is a bit thicker and sweet coffee flavoured.
I think it has to be EA because Atari as I think of it was just a company that launched the success of home gaming but mismanaged themselves into bankruptcy, putting a pretty big dent in the north American video game industry in the process, but a dent that Nintendo very easily fixed with the NES only a few years later. The subsequent uses of the Atari name and IP by successive owners doesn’t really do anything but make me sad - I can’t really attribute anything that Atari does these days to the company that did all the good (and bad) stuff in the 80s. More like Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s, being trotted out by companies hoping to capitalize on long-dead goodwill.
EA, on the other hand is the same company that started back in the 80s; they have an unbroken bloodline from the scrappy company making good quality computer games that hit the jackpot with their sports titles to the behemoth they are today with all the shitty practices we all know and hate. They are the company that lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.
That only happens when he’s learning about 'Nam.
But the treatment of photographs in the decision fits your description. The photographer sets up the environment that allowed the image to exist but it’s the camera that makes the image. The judge held that was protectable because the image represents the human’s mental conception of the scene. It’s not a ridiculous stretch to consider AI to be merely a camera for the prompt-writer’s mental conception. I am certain this argument has been or will be tried in court. The IP owner industry is far from done litigating this topic.
I believe that Waffle House is named after Wafflos, the god of perseverance in the face of extreme weather and drunken brawling with.
