It's been explained to me that the current climate in tech funded by venture capital requires that they never stop "innovating". In practice that means they have to keep loving with things even after they have them dialed in.

That's true, but Twitter wants to force you to read your timeline out of order so they can more easily manipulate what tweets you do and do not see

What’s funny is the owned Comixology for I think like two years before the merger.
This isn't that weird, often tech industry contracts have stuff like "if we sell the company and then you get fired within 1 or 2 years they have to pay you $x" where "x" is based on how long it's been since the sale. And the sales themselves probably have "you can't just shutter the company immediately after buying it" in the deal

What is Turning Red and how did it convince people that children can't write fanfiction? :confused:

Rhino, you did this to me!

Having seen literally nothing from the movie and absorbing through current discourse, it appears to be a Pixar movie about some tween girls. I guess including segments where the girls have crushes and write fanfictions about a guy or something?

This all appears to have started because some dummy wrote that the movie was "horny" and other stupid things in a review

This has been "discourse through osmosis" thank you for listening

its the new disney movie, it is about a 13 year old girl and her group of friends who are all 13 years old. it is a story about growing up, and also the protagonist has an ancient chinese power of turning into a panda when she has emotions. this is a metaphor for puberty, also the protagonist is going through actual puberty

the protagonist and her friends all write cringey 13 year old fanfic about boys because a lot of people do poo poo like this at that age. this depiction is so cutting of folks who wrote horrible horny fanfic when they were tweens that it has become minorly controversial i guess because it is extremely true. the fact that the fanfic is horrible is part of the joke

e: at least that is what the movie is about, i dont know what the controversy is about. i am going to assume it is people being upset about woke disney making a movie about a tween girl having tween girl problems more than people who are legit mad at things like "remember when you were a child trying to figure out romance and you wrote stories about how you and that cute boy in gym were actually ancient vampires who turned into crime fighting vampire-dragons together? haha, we remember that too, we see you"

I watched this with my kids on Saturday and they all really liked it. Anyone saying it is "horny" either doesn't have kids this age, shouldn't have kids or was never 13 themselves. Just went from child straight to adult like I presume people did in the 50s before teenagers were invented.

These colours don't run.

People used to look older because they dressed the same at 20 as when they were parents 30 years later when their kids started thinking about it. I also imagine that your average person smokes less and cares more for their skin.

Uh, yeah I lock my cats away in the laundry with their food, beds and litter at night. They don't scratch the door, but one cries to get let out if we stay up later than them. They know the routine and will go out there at night to be fed and locked up.
Also when I was a kid we did the same thing with my parent's cats.

Anyone who says you can't control cats and they just do whatever they want regardless of any attempt to stop them has never actually tried to stop them. If your cat walks over your keyboard while you're using it, or begs for scraps when you're cooking, or scratches at the doors to be allowed to roam freely at night, it's because you've taught them that they can do all those things and get the result they want.
