I think any content creator that makes content you enjoy. Podcasts, music, whatever. Support whoever makes you happy.

Overriding or adjusting payment isn’t an edge case. The article says the reason they refused was company policy. They had the option and said no.

Dark was great. For anyone watching for the first time, Netflix made a great website that helps you keep up with who is who with no spoilers. Select the last episode you’ve finished and it only gives information to that point.

I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn’t actually work which was nice.

Really bad take. All stories borrow elements from other stories but this took it to a rediculous level.

Saying that Star Wars stole from Dune because both Paul and Luke are names that appear in the Bible or because they both used electric binoculars is nuts. And that’s just a couple examples.

How are sports a scam?
