Netflix developing an Old Man's War film. -- (link) - Ender Dec 7, 11:04 7
- I wonder if this means SyFy has dropped the series in development -- nm - decline Dec 7, 11:07 3
  - It has to, and that explains why news of the show just vanished about a year ago. -- nm - David Dec 7, 11:10 2
    - yup, found it on his blog. Both a SyFy series and a Paramount movie never made it out of development -- (link) - decline Dec 7, 11:12 1

  - tHIS -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 11:08

LA Fires: Some fire down the block from me -- (link) - budice Dec 7, 10:44 4
- another in the area -- (link) - budice Dec 7, 10:49
- Is that from the dumbass who lit the palm trees on fire? This doesn't look like the canyon fires. -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 10:48 2
  - No, I believe that one was in the Valley? It's often palm trees vs. power lines. -- nm - Meg Dec 7, 10:58
  - i assumed it was blowing sparks/ash hitting those dry bits of old leaves that make up the bark of a palm tree. -- nm - AndIe Dec 7, 10:55
Anyone here besides me watching the Netflix series "Dark"? I'm halfway through now. -- nm - BW-8 Dec 7, 10:44 3
- it's in my queue but i'm undecided about taking it on. Verdict so far? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 7, 10:51 1
  - I'm finding the mystery interesting enough to keep going and see where it ends up. - BW-8 Dec 7, 10:59
- We tried. The voiceover dubbing was just too horrible. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 10:48
Stalker gift sent -- nm - budice Dec 7, 10:40 1

Tesla is opening a second Las Vegas store font -- (link) - peglegpete Dec 7, 10:23 1
- Comic sans? -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 10:24
I know the news of porn star August Ames's death was posted last night. I do think this more in-depth article raises some important issues - crash davis Dec 7, 10:13 48
- Who honestly cares if there's a homophobic 23 year old porn star? Twitter. Boy, I don't know. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:47
- the implication of her initial tweet are homophobic - but calling on her to kill herself crosses a line from just defender to dangerous troll -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:19 42
  - I am probably going to get destroyed by ST, but if I'm reading this correctly, I get it. -- (edited) - ty97 Dec 7, 10:28 33
    - I think the tweet about how her industry works is the one that matters most. *ALL* of those actors are tested. There is no gay statistical increase - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 7, 11:07
    - Is the line crossing that she pulled out (heh) of the film, or that she posted a warning about it? - JaxSean Dec 7, 10:45 2
      - That depends on if it's a known issue for many actresses. The whole situation seems like a vent about her agent more than anything. - David Dec 7, 11:08
      - I can see this argument I guess -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:48
    - [deleted] 9
      - [deleted] 8
        
        I guess I read it differently. She talks about her body and what she chooses to do with it, I read that as a disease concern. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:47 7
        
        It's still irrational if everyone's tested and she's just assuming straight performers are safe anyway. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:48
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I read it as having hetero sex with man who has homosexual relations increases the odds of HIV infection vs a man who only had hetero sex - ty97 Dec 7, 10:51 4
        
        But that industry is very heavily committed toward HIV prevention. - Will Hunting, Deposed King of Astronauts Dec 7, 11:07
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        What's worse is she was tweeting that that was normal behavior/perspective for female actresses. - Max Dec 7, 10:58 1
        
        [deleted]
    - It's just a sad situation all the way around. She's one of the Girlsway team, and they're a close-knit group. -- nm - David Dec 7, 10:40 5
      - What is Girlsway? -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:42 4
        
        Best lesbian porn site on the net. -- nm - David Dec 7, 11:10
        
        girlsway.com -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 10:46
        
        Solid question. Who else is in this group? -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:44
        
        We don't want to know. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:43
    - "Come at me ST" - okay, you asked for it. Over Hard is a stupid way to order eggs. - crash davis Dec 7, 10:37 5
      - this is understandable if you do not want gooey drippy eggs -- nm - peglegpete Dec 7, 10:41
      - It's the only way to order an egg. There should be crunchy around the edges of the whites. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:39 3
        
        You mean scrambled. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 10:48
        
        If The Yolk Don't Run, It Ain't No Fun (tm) -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:40 1
        
        *vomit* -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:41
    - i think she is definitely right in that she can choose to say no to whoever she likes, for whatever reason. Could she have said it better? Sure. - AndIe Dec 7, 10:33 1
      - 100% agree -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:36
    - Do those general population stats apply to porn actors in the same way? -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:32 4
      - recently there was a wave of HIV infections from a single source in the gay porn community. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 11:31
      - *flashes badge* "I'm Special Agent Max of The Bureau of Porn Statistics" -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:35 1
        
        Operation Spread Sheets -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:45
      - I don't have stats but imagine they must. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:35
  - It does, but if she's willing to act on it from social media abuse, then implying that gay actors are unsafe could potentially result in someone else - Max Dec 7, 10:21 7
    - I dunno. There is a difference from implying someone might have a disease and outright saying FOAKY -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:26 6
      - Also, another issue for me: She was 23. I think young people take social media and the opinions of strangers WAY WAY WAY too seriously. -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:27 5
        
        I agree with this. I also can't imagine how someone appears in 270 films at 23. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:30 4
        
        Assuming she started at 18, that's roughly 1.29 movies/week. - Shaun Dec 7, 10:35 2
        
        But as crash said, "films" might not be an accurate description. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:38 1
        
        right, that's probably 'an afternoon'. -- nm - AndIe Dec 7, 10:43
        
        I think it only seems large because the word film makes us think of something James Cameron takes over a year to create. - crash davis Dec 7, 10:33
- "I’m not putting my body at risk, i don’t know what they do in their private lives." says she who's done 270 porn scenes. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:17 3
  - Admittedly, I don't know much about the subject. But that seems valid as the one actress I heard about getting exposed to HIV was from Charlie Sheen - crash davis Dec 7, 10:24 2
    - That's a perfect example. If you don't know what gay guys do in their free time, you also don't know what straight actors do in theirs. - Max Dec 7, 10:28 1
      - See my response above. -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 10:30
I don't tweet or reply to tweets often (pretty irregularly in fact) but Id did reply to the one I posted on BBs. The tweeter replied - ty97 Dec 7, 10:13
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam plans to meet with media on Friday. -- nm - budice Dec 7, 10:11 2
- Let me guess, they're going to go in a new direction. All roads lead to shit in Cleveland. -- nm - CQ Dec 7, 10:23
- "Which debacle would you like to discuss: Cleveland, UT, or Pilot's grand larceny scheme?" -- nm - David Dec 7, 10:14
Disappointed in this french onion dip. I should’ve got Nalley. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:09 1

Apparently the Jones campaign is alienating African Americans in AL. -- (link) - spamlet Dec 7, 10:08 9
- I'm kind of offended by the grammar... -- nm - Ender Dec 7, 11:02
- We can go ahead and point out that it's also racist to assume the person who made that is white just because of its content, right? - con_carne Dec 7, 10:26
- “Can’t win if we don’t appeal to white voters.” Democratic strategists, probably -- nm - Tim Dec 7, 10:22
- It's a ridiculously badly thought out ad - ty97 Dec 7, 10:10 5
  - Did you read the rest of the article? - spamlet Dec 7, 10:14 4
    - I've abandoned several large parts of it too. I mean look at the Ozarks. Snapping turtles? WTF are those? -- nm - God Dec 7, 10:30
    - The article implies that the Dem Party loses b/c it alienates black people - ty97 Dec 7, 10:16 2
      - Considering the author is black, politically active, and lives in AL I would assume he knows better than you or I. - spamlet Dec 7, 10:42

Thieves stole potentially millions of dollars in bitcoin in a hacking attack on a cryptocurrency company - crash davis Dec 7, 10:02 2
- I'm just going to keep my investments in nice stable assets, like pot. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:03 1
  - Yeah, investment is a good word for it - as a currency, it is not safe. Also, I keep meaning to look up Canadian pot stocks. -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 10:07
Doing the right thing after delay and for self-serving reasons is infinitely better than doing the morally abhorrent thing. - Reagen Dec 7, 10:00 11
- Not sure if I'd use the word "infinitely" but in general, I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 7, 10:14 1
  - More like Error: Division by zero. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:16

  - I don't know if this is a response to my post, specifically, but that's absolutely not what I'm doing. - IrishStephen Dec 7, 10:12 7
    - In a vacuum, perhaps, but we don't live in a vacuum. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 10:43 1
      - Respectfully, that’s bs, you can criticize multiple wrongs without saying they are equally bad, -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 7, 11:02
    - I’m skeptical of your initial assertion that there is a price to be paid though. - znufrii Dec 7, 10:18 3
      - At some point I think, or maybe just hope (and also dread, in a way) that there will be. There certainly should be a price to pay for supporting - IrishStephen Dec 7, 11:06 1
        
        I would love nothing more than to have my skepticism on this proven wrong. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 11:07
      - ... wait for it. - Spawn Dec 7, 11:04
