It probably did, but not before it got a couple sequels*. The other YA adaptations were just that bad.

*Their ambitious part one of the final movie was a terrible decision though.

Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I'll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É

Oh my damn. I wrote it and still misread it. You're right.

I figured she lives somewhere expensive, but I probably should've used a different word. I just decided to Google and given that she lives in NYC the money doesn't go as far there as it would in rural West Virginia. I've known people who make 100k in NYC that live with multiple roommates.

The Covid lockdowns in winter were Christmas for antisocial people. Between the winter hats and mask you could be totally unidentifiable.

I don't think we can conclude it's 0 from what she wrote. He says he pays Ashley 500k a month and a flat 2.5 million. She says he stopped paying most of it.

I'll assume he's being less than honest because of specific credibility issues. If she's being honest, she gets 250k hard maximum a year. My guess is it's actually something like 100k. That amount, while survivable, seems very ungenerous for the richest man in the world and it's enough of a drop from 500k that you would definitely be forced to change your purchases.

EDIT: huge error. misread per month as per year.

After I saw Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House, I watched The Haunting. The Haunting was a decent horror movie, but Flanagan made something unique with his miniseries.

It's definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.

You're not entirely wrong, but people not knowing how to draw basic things that we all know about is documented.

Gianluca ~~Vimini~~ [Gimini] rendered a whole bunch of people's attempts at drawing a bike.

EDIT: Wikimedia says OP's picture was from 1899-1900 and it was uploaded in 2011.

EDIT 2: misspelled

Why didn't you drop the quotes from Turing, Minsky, and Lovelace?

People use the word incel to the point of irrelevance. If you're having sex you're not involuntarily celibate.

Folks online were calling Henry Cavill an incel a while back. If these guys were celibate it would be by choice. If you're trying to criticize them in other ways, why not use the right words?
