It's a remake that uses new, higher quality assets though, so isn't an option in this case.

Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky delves into this kind of psychology from the interesting angle of treating Narcissistic Sociopaths as an alien form of consciousness. It proposes that sociopaths hijack human social interactions, turning others into mere appendages that carry out the sociopath's desires.
No worries! Your heart is in the right place!
The OCM analogy is that a lot of "wholesome" content points to much deeper and darker systemic issues, but rather than diving into those, such articles only scratch the surface and present their stories in a Rosy light of "Thing turned out good this time!!! Yay!!!", rather than the -- IMO, more appropriate -- light of tearing their hair out and asking "why the fuck is this sort of generosity even needed on an individual level??? Why is society producing this situation in the first place???"
For instance, this article's title could be rewritten as "Writers for multi-billion-dollar streaming platforms, striking over lack of traditional media residuals, forced to resort to good banks during era of record profits" to avoid OCM-syndrome.
He doesn't. White supremacists clinging to celebrities they desperately want to believe support their views only to be slapped down in disgust is a tale as old as time.
I seen to remember the documentary about her covering the decision to publicly voice her political beliefs for the first time. There's this one scene where she's in a room full of white men telling her not to do it because it would damage her brand and her mom being the only person in the room to support it.
She went against all her business advisors and did it anyway, which should tell you enough about where she stands.
I'm a developer and don't hate it on its face.
IMO it's only a problem in the context of iOS not having side-loading. I'm imagining an app that uses an API to block ads and Apple just being like "no" and then you can't get that app.
I feel like people haven't put their finger on why Borat is different.
In general, the 'gotcha' moments in Borat were about getting people to say what they really thought about a topic, then just... showing that. The thing being faked there is who Borat is and what his opinions are, not what the topic is nor the context in which it will be presented.
It wasn't about getting them to say something they didn't realize would be applied to a totally different context.
Glances at climate change rumbling towards us.

I'm an IATSE member (Editor's Guild) and yeah, I think "high skilled workers asking for reasonable compensation parity from streaming platforms forced to use foodbanks for the audacity" definitely fits the spirit of that sub.
I'm not whining about the solidarity. I'm whining about the greedy Studio execs that made this necessary.
Counterpoint: If I was one of the people in charge of keeping it secret and Trump got elected... I would just "forget" to ever schedule that briefing.
Love that series but it's not really Space Opera
