If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters.
  • instead of using his seemingly infinite wealth to engage in any real systemic change

    Do we know this? I don't follow the comics at all but do they ever go into the things Bruce Wayne does as CEO of Wayne Enterprises? I can't fathom we have gone decades without someone touching on this.

  • Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?
  • I can recall numerous comedy movies I went to where I was the first to laugh. Like a full "ha" before everyone else started laughing. I am unsure if I influenced others to laugh, I was more satisfied that I didn't need another person to laugh to actually enjoy what I was seeing.

  • It wasn't "just" the audience. Sweetening enhances the laughing - it doesn't replace it.

    I always thought of it this way. You see fun videos of sitcom outtakes, everyone is having fun on set. This means multiple takes. How hard would you imagine it is for an audience member, on the 15th take, to laugh? Sweetening.

  • You are partially correct. The pacing is a thing, for sure.

    But if you do watch those videos there are plenty of non-joke pauses for laughs. I can recall one where one of the guys walks up to the others sitting in the cafeteria and says "hey guys"... pause for laughs. He wasn't dressed funny, he wasn't doing anything odd, just... "time to laugh, I guess".

    IMO, canned laughs are the tool of those that aren't really that good at writing comedy.

  • NH Supreme Court Hears Case On Whether ‘Keep New England White’ Banner Constitutes Free Speech
  • So just to clarify, you are saying you support the goals of this banner because you don't want to understand? Yes?

    Don't worry, there are many people who choose to be ignorant and support the goals of this banner. You won't be alone. You may be disappointed with the larger climate change view of your peers though.

  • Fuck up a book for me please
  • Given that a large portion of society, at least US society, can't comprehend simple concepts - I am willing to dumb the beauty out of some things to help them grow.

    Your point is valid and correct - but there might be reasons such a thing might be helpful.

  • There is still a wide gap between human consciousness and what they are calling AI. He is comparing a self-aware, thinking being to a program that picks the next thing based on what it has seen a lot of. I am not arguing for human souls, just that he is comparing apples and moon dust.
