venture capital / investor cash cannons

it’s cinema sins but with the “he’s an astrophysicist so he must know what he’s talking about”

when an otherwise smart guy spends his time nitpicking…movies?…he comes across as the friend you wouldn’t want to go to the movies with, no?

you can argue that the hate might be “over the top” (and i tend to agree), but that mfer comes across as straight insufferable - in that if i had a choice i wouldn’t want to be around him - so i can empathise.

edit: i’m sure there’s more, but i’m struggling to come up with any other scientist who spends their time saying “haha that ben affleck movie about oil drillers isn’t scientifically accurate!?!?” instead of, you know, positively impacting/selling their field of study.

i had forgotten all about Alloy and…was it Lara Croft?…and people “correcting” their appearances, good point!

i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”

same with “dei,” i suppose - all goes back to not liking women and poc 🙃

i’m guessing it’s because the link was posted with no context, no opinion, no nothing.

perhaps if op explains what the link goes to and why it’s a good thing, people might click it and actually engage?

i didn’t downvote, but i do understand the sentiment!
