I like A24 films enough (though I think The Thing is better than any horror movie A24 has put out), but they largely don't' even make the films they distribute anyways. It's like worshipping Walmart because they sell Doritos (kind of a bad comparison but you get what I'm saying). Your take is fair, I just saw it through a different lens myself.
I get where you are coming from. But me and my friends used to do themed movie nights and themes can be a bit random. Sometimes it's by director, actor, series, genre, studio, or just someone's favorite movie they wanted to share.
We need a wagie hellscape thread for that kind of stuff, imo.
The Juicero guy is like a walking golem of Silicon Valley culture and I can't stand him, but he did explain what the hell went down when he was on Rich Roll's podcast.
I worked at a pizza shop for a few months. They gave you free pizza but the wage was shit. And it packed on the pounds. Needless to say, I quit. Pizza is not equal to money.
That sounds like bullshit deflecting the blame.
It's concrete vs abstract rewards. Extra money is nice but because everything is digital the money just gets quietly added to your account and you don't feel that dopamine or really recognize it as a reward becuase it gets mixed in with your regular pay. Meanwhile pizza is immediate and concrete so you get the dopamine from the treat and recognize it immediately as a reward because it is different.
Given the horror story of Amazon warehouses I'm shocked we don't already. But then again those kinds of posts tend to get added to the other threads that discuss lazy commie types.
I assume they’re talking about stuff like Collector Edition Barbie dolls, which are more expensive and slightly higher quality than the regular ones because they’re aimed at adults to display on a shelf.
That reeks of bullshit. VC's fund all sorts of silly consumer goods with injury potential all the time, and there are more fly-by-night "health food" and "dietary supplement" products funded by VC's every year than I can count.
That's like if China banned the consumption of dog meat
The guy was undoubtedly trying to save face, what most likely happened was they built a shitty slapdash prototype that didn't work very well, and then went to an actual machine shop to build something better. The shop then realized quickly that these people had no idea what they were doing and took Juicero for a ride.
He's a Kickstarter lolcow in his own right jf you ask me. After Juicero had been a trainwreck, I think he moved on to kickstarting something dumb like "raw water" which is pretty much untreated/unfiltered water.
The man was a raw food vegan, which makes normal vegans look like paragons of reason and sanity in comparison.
