maybe im reading this wrong maybe when american kids say they want to be vloggers what they really mean is that they want to be gay

Eh, it's not that different from kids back in the day wanting to be movie stars and rock stars. Problem is, not every kid is gonna be a YouTube Partner taking in millions, just like musicians and actors.

I actually met someone who gave up being in a band because he hated having to perform the same two or three hits they had to pay the bills.

Its like Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco where he you can see him slowly hate his one hit wonder.

Do parents have that talk with their kids about being youtube stars the way our parents talked to us about being athletes or rock stars?

A cursory glance at the state of things says no but I am ever the cynic.

I doubt it, because it seems like there's a generational divide where parents barely even understand that youtube star is a thing you can be, let alone the implications of actually trying to become one

Is it really that odd that Chinese kids want to be a thing that their government pushes as cool and awesome and is touting as a point of national pride? Is it really that odd that American kids don't care about a thing their government doesn't give a poo poo about funding and tells them it's all done by robots now anyway?

marilyn manson is in trouble now and it made me remember some weird interview with him ages ago where he really wanted the interviewer to know that he and his gf were having a ton of sex and i remember thinking that was a super weird thing for someone to push even for him and welp i guess he really was an abuser

then what was the point of having some of his ribs removed

it has a cute premise that it fails to do anything interesting or substantial with

when he got accused i went trawling through old posts about the expanse and there were people telling anecdotes about running into him at cons like 2 years before the allegations blew up. he'd been at it for a minute.

It seems like Legion has been collectively forgotten so WandaVision can be the first "experimental" superhero show.

The one episode of Legends of Tomorrow I have seen was also a sitcom homage.

i still haven't watched the final episode bc the show went so far up its own rear end but drat was Farouk an absolute king the second he showed up on screen

i dont recall seeing Navid Negahban in anything else but just saw that he was also Sala on Castlevania, another show that owns (shame about the creator tho)

agreed, though I like the season more in retrospect now that I realize it wasn't about the crew defeating Marco Inaros, it was just about them surviving the different parts of his plan

As weird and dumb at times as Season 2 was, the fight at the end of season 2 and Farouk in general was just amazing.
