Did Ross cheat on Rachel in Friends?
He didn’t cheat on her, but that doesn’t mean she was obligated to be ok with what he did. If he wanted to have a chance with her ever again, sleeping with someone else while they were on a break (or even immediately after breaking up) was a stupid thing to do. Part of Ross’ problem was he was so focused on the technicality that they weren’t actively together instead of the reality that it still was obviously going to hurt her.

Actors join writer strike: first tandem strike in Hollywood since 1960

Technically Disney doesn’t own those theaters, but they told the theaters they wouldnt get any more Disney releases if they didn’t do what they were told. And given how nearly every big blockbuster is Disney nowadays, that basically made it impossible to ignore.
It really should’ve been squashed, it’s cut and dry monopoly behavior.

Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?
Reply in thread
I imagine they mean without a cloth, poof, or loofa. As a kid I would put body wash in my hand, lather, and rub it over my body. But it tended to use up soap quickly so either I had to add more soap part way through or the things I washed last didn’t get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.

The writer’s strike probably still won’t be really felt for a while, but this will have an immediate effect. No press junkets, no premieres, no conventions, etc.

The sick people. Because they make people work even when they’re sick

To be fair, if you are soulless and going to make them work when they’re sick anyway, why would you care if they infected the rest of the staff?

Well it’s meant to look like the original comics, which had a pretty bright yellow. There’s a reason the X-Men haven’t used that costume in a while lol

Biden raised nearly as much money as all the Republican candidates combined, showing the power of the somebody-other-than-Trump vote
Reply in thread
Take solace in the fact that we’ll get a new candidate next election cycle. The trick will be convincing the democratic establishment that “not Trump” won’t work forever and they need to start putting forth candidates that actually get the voters excited.

Aussie Bus Driver Fed Up with 'Misbehavior' Dumps 18 Kids on Side of the Road
Reply in thread
Imagine you, as an adult, are riding a bus and a handful of crazy people are acting like assholes so the driver makes all of you get off the bus, potential miles from where you live. I don’t think this would be ok even with older people. Plus there’s the fact that we don’t even know how bad the misbehavior was. Unless every single one were causing a significant danger, there’s no reason to kick them off.

Shit, as a Floridian, you may have just convinced me we should let them live. We already have too many people moving here.

Does Texas A&M’s botched hire spell doom for classroom diversity? Some say yes
Reply in thread
It’s crazy to me that the backlash was so bad the president had to resign. Just because Texas is that racist

Could Ben and Jerry’s go down like Bud light, or is their ice cream too darn delicious?
Ben & Jerry’s has been fairly socially progressive for a while, this is not their first campaign like this and it hasn’t seemed to really affect them yet. There’s also the fact that part of Bud Light’s problem was who their average consumer was. Not every company that does something like that will get the same treatment, but when you advocate for something that most of your customers will disagree with, it’ll cause you problems.
For example, take the Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks). They took a stand against the war in Iraq and made negative comments about George W. Bush. They were nowhere close to the first band/artist to this, but they saw the most backlash. But it’s because they were a country band so the majority of their fanbase supported the things the condemned.

Also, can we not support people putting no effort into the title? It’s really not hard to write a halfway decent title.

Sony 'Expected to Release a PlayStation 5 Slim Later This Year' Priced $399.99, Microsoft Says - IGN
TL;DR - Microsoft is fighting for their purchase of Activision-Blizzard to go through. Their latest argument is that they’re in third in the console wars (behind the PS5 and the Switch) and Sony will likely make more money from the PS5 Slim which they claim is releasing later this year at $399.

The linked article says “During the strike, actors will not be permitted to promote past projects through conventions, interviews or panels.” That seems to me like they can’t promote anything they’ve acted in, no matter how old.

Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app
The claim is they used Twitter “trade secrets”. What could those possibly be? The concept is obviously not a secret. Unless they used Twitter’s algorithm or something I don’t see how this doesn’t get thrown out immediately.
