Someone on Bluesky last night mentioned Woody Allen for some offhand reason, and some sock puppet account was loudly defending Woody and saying he never did anything wrong and that Soon-Yin was never patented by him or anything like that. Imagine being a shill for Woody Allen of all people.

So someone chimed in on a subject that was never broached in the first place? It reminds me of the people on reddit who will always pipe in about how mean John Lennon was no matter what the subject about him is.
Literally someone joked "don't Woody Allen me" and this account went off with a bunch of "facts". It was super odd.
When I was on Reddit I was talking about Jian Ghomeshi's sexual abuse charges on r/Canada (before it got overrun by racists), and a sock puppet account sent me the weirdest PM, about how I wanted to "touch the diamond that is Jian's life, but holding a melting diamond in your hands is dangerous" or some such shit. I actually feel it was Jian Ghomeshi because it was so narcissistic and weird. I could of course be wrong, but I really think it was. The wording was just too weird.
So dumb.
Hour argument, that the final cliff fall scene in Predator 1 was two different jumps in the 2 cuts.
Can see in the first one he is rotating. Second cut is a straight plumb drop into the water.
How were the rotational moments counteracted?
They weren't, it's two different jumps/takes.
2 friends came up with some hair-brained arguments that you could stop rotating on the way down. (๋_๋)
The only way would be air resistance, and hands/arms is not going to be enough to create drag to counter the rotation.

I can't remember the specifics (both because it was dumb and because it's so embarrassing I think my brain is trying to protect me), but from what I recall I got into a heated argument on the internet with someone because I felt that fans weren't cheering hard enough for a band I liked at a concert.
...yeah, I know. I'm grateful, though, because it was so colossally stupid and pointless that I had a come-to-Jesus moment and swore off internet arguments entirely. I can only imagine the countless hours of my life it's saved me in the intervening years.
I fought with my aunt about "mom jeans." I was telling her it was a style of jeans and she was adament that it was any kind of jeans that a "mother" is wearing.
Well technically you are both right though she is being pedantic.
