It depends.

• Sometimes it’s because of structural Anglocentrism making it harder to get an acting role with a foreign-sounding last name (e.g. “Ramon Antonio Gerard Estevez” becomes “Martin Sheen” or “Ilyena Lydia Vadilievna Mironov” becomes “[Dame] Helen Mirren”)

• Sometimes it’s just a matter of cropping a name or two (“Philip Anthony Hopkins”)

• Sometimes it’s just about sounding cooler (“Eric Bishop” becomes “Jamie Foxx” or “Caryn Elaine Johnson” becomes “Whoopi Goldberg”)

• And sometimes it’s because there’s already a SAG member with your name (“Diane Hall” becomes “Diane Keaton” or “Michael Douglas” becomes… “Michael Keaton”)

Honourable Mentions: Anthrax (less bad than others but still awkward when mentioning the band in casual conversation), Shotgun Willy (solo artist)

Guessing from the reviews on Scream 3 and Scream VII, I’d say there are exceptions.

there’s certainly some value in trying to look more stylish or cuter if that’s what you want to do, but looksmaxxing is a toxic pseudoscience mostly based around factors you have little control over, like height (yes, i know there are ways to increase it slightly, that’s why i said “little”).

the horse contains the spirit of the rider’s dead mom obviously

i’ve only seen 1979 and Romulus. i feel like i dodged a bullet (i am planning on watching Aliens eventually, dw)

i think the US education system should teach about necrophilia laws so people stop sucking Joseph McCarthy’s dick

I’d say around 3000 by 2125 and 1000 by 2225.

I’m cutting the original storyline of Five Nights at Freddy’s off at the third game and removing Afton’s weird implied Pamela-Voorhees-meets-Gendo-Ikari motivation for his murders; he kills for a feeling of power and punishment. As much as I like the sci-fi elements, they utterly ruin his character. I’d also remove 3’s cutscene of him coming back: he’s dead, and he stays dead.

However, I do believe there would be room for sequels after that. I think it could be neat to have games skipping straight to the Vanny story and making her an actual developed villain as well as a real copycat killer, perhaps even starting a small cult of sorts around the Fazbear brand and Afton’s legacy.

A bit more concerned now that the US is resuming nuclear tests.

To be honest, the idea of nuclear weapons ever being used again is far scarier to me than WW3 in general.

I feel like we’re forgetting that this is the apocalypse. He wants to start the apocalypse.

You’re half right. Andrew Wakefield, the father of modern anti-vaccine sentiment, wrote a bogus study with horrible methodology against the MMR vaccine due to a desire to sell separate alternative measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Brian Deer explains it best in his 2004 documentary “MMR: What They Didn’t Tell You”.

That one Reddit post about George W Bush being a werewolf.

God, that was such a weird controversy. I don’t like oversimplified Silicon Valley culture-esque logos, but this was blown out of proportion (and surprisingly partisan, for some reason?)

fuck it, black metal snow white. doing something original for once

all my attempts at some portmanteau of charlie kirk and cum have failed so far

I wonder if there’s an exact definition of “round”, and if the Earth matches it. I mean, plenty of bumps in this sphere.

1. Condemning the US doesn’t mean uncritically supporting the CCP.

2. China didn’t put my country in a brutal military dictatorship for 20 years.

who could’ve predicted this? 🙄

oh great the fucking sybil system
