I finally heard Old Town Road. The kids are wrong on this one. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 13:24 6
- I don't think there's a lot who think it's the best thing, it's just something different and catchy; and I think some of the attention is for irony. - b. May 10, 13:36
- Yeah, I don't get it. It's not a good song at all. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 13:32 3
  - I went in hoping to and expecting to like it but it was really short, bad lyrics and just a rather meh song. I don't get why it blew up. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 13:33 2
    - Bitching baseline. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 13:36 1

- I *just* watched a couple of clips. this was particularly amusing. he admitted later he'd made a mistake/didn't do his research. nm but: -- (link*) - b. May 10, 12:53 8
  - i feel like it still wouldn't work if he tried his usual trick of just rattling off a bunch of info to overwhelm someone. -- nm - colin May 10, 13:01 7
    - It's not universal, but British journalists mean business and won't let you get away with shit. - Reagen May 10, 13:04 6
      - Yep, they're on it. I have no idea what's going on in the US right now with the press. It should be like shooting fish in a barrel, but politicians - colin May 10, 13:07 5
        
        I think the problem is that the US press has had a hard time adapting. For decades the press had parties on both sides that were at least within - pmb May 10, 13:27 1
        
        yep, that's definitely part of it, especially for tv news. - b. May 10, 13:33
        
        broadly speaking, it's because our model of journalism prioritizes access to personalities over intellectual integrity, for whatever reason. -- nm* - znufrii May 10, 13:25 1
        
        (and this is hardly a new phenomenon) -- nm - znufrii May 10, 13:25

    - I've been off long sleeves since... beginning of March? -- nm - Reagen May 10, 12:38 5
      - Long sleeves were too warm for me in aspen at times. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 12:56 1
        
        Guess I should note that with the convertible I like sleeves so I don't have to sunscreen my arms. Plus, it is chilly at 75mph if it is below 70F. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 13:17
      - I remember H-Mogul saying something like 20 degrees (F) was t-shirt weather to people in Fort St. John, after the crazy low temps they get. -- nm -- (edited) - b. May 10, 12:50 1

  - A good point that was made to me: airlines... lose money a lot. Car companies, ditto. Railways, money losers unless it's stuff, not people - Reagen May 10, 12:47 7
    - because they're not the ones bearing the costs of providing the actual service, the drivers are. -- nm - znufrii May 10, 12:52 6

        They're in part a victim of their own hype - it's very possibly a business that can be profitable - Reagen May 10, 13:22 1
        
        I was on this file pretty deep in 2015/2016 and it was never obvious to me where that profitable tipping point was without removing drivers. - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 13:36
      - Right. They're just the middleman between all the people who are losing money. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 12:53

        All are better. (much, a little, much) -- nm - Spawn May 10, 12:13
      - There's no possible way you like Meet the Robinsons more than Aladdin. We couldn't even finish MtR. It was terrible. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 11:45 5
        
        Have I ever even heard of that one? -- nm - Spawn May 10, 11:50 4
        
        I think the issue here is that you haven't watched enough Disney animated films. Start with Aladdin 2. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 11:54 3
        
        spoiler - Spawn May 10, 12:00 1

- I think of stoic epics - Untouchables, Dances with Wolves, Prince of Thieves, Waterworld - Roger More May 10, 12:12 1
  - And I'd go with Untouchables as his signature role - the soft-spoken hard man with an overload of honour who can't be bought. -- nm - Roger More May 10, 12:14
- It's not wrong. It's just not how others might see him. For me, his iconic roles are Crash Davis and Roy McAvoy - Mr. Havens May 10, 11:35
