My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit’s complaint that millennials are “brand promiscuous”, for basically the same reason as we’re seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.

If he’s not lying about not pulling the trigger, then he, or the firearms manager, also bought a dangerously cheap gun.

The whole thing was a cascading failure, imho, with Baldwin at the end of it, making him no less culpable than anyone before him. Ultimately, “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” is never an excuse.

“Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other.”

Yes, I’m still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.

How much does it cost to repair a fender bender on a Suburban? Cus on an R1S, well…

Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It’ll be a fad for a few years, and then we’ll wonder where “look kids, it’s [dead/old actor]!” went. Maybe AI will find a useful place in film, maybe it won’t, but I doubt it will be one of the main draws for very long.
