I've been called "a giant faggot" but I'm medium at most. ♥️

It's how I see things.

Never relied on a union to tell me what to think (only when not to work).

Can't say what "most people" think as I have not met most of them. Impressive that you have, though.

Had my opinion on his character already not been colored by his past actions I may be more inclined to accept that explanation.

I went into this with the view that he's a dick already.

So even if I didn't believe solidarity was even more important in the face of potential reprisal I wouldn't be very inclined to charitably read any of his actions.

It is two things:

1. I genuinely consider his position to be a moral failing
2. Even if all this were not going on I would want to see him fired because I hate him (though on principal never as retaliation because solidarity, even for people you hate; his position as worker would in that scenario outclass personal animosity)

I mean they should show eachother solidarity.

"Ken is an actor" in that being a presenter is not different enough a job for this fight not to be his profession's fight.

I'm not in SAG and not bound by their rules on what to consider actors.

I'm saying a host "is an actor" in the same sense Rob Gordon says bass guitar and lead guitar are the same job.

If a poet preformed as a form of content during an actor or writer strike I would judge them the same way I am judging Ken.

All the things you listed are "actors" in the same way some people refer to all carbonated beverages as "coke".

Yes, in a broad sense. The fact he's not in SAG doesn't make presenters, actors, improv performers, hosts, stand-up comics any less all the same cloth—any more than the existence of non-union actors.

I'm calling it a dick move to not show solidarity, not a violation of a specific union contract.

Mayim Bialik chose not to present questions while the question writers were striking and Ken Jennings could have done so too.
I judge him for that choice.

I never said dude was in the same union. I said he should be showing showbiz solidarity.

Dude preforming on stage for an audience?

You can't play The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on this.

Does the Atari 2600+ use emulation software to play game cartridges?

Yes, the Atari 2600+ uses emulation technology to play game cartridges. View the full list of compatible games here.

I got you though.

Hosting a TV show is totally an acting gig and I absolutely hold it against those who side with management during a strike.

Granted I already dislike him for additional reasons, but even if I didn't hate him already I'd be disappointed by this move.

Ken Jennings would scab.

Oh you fucking know it.

Shouldn't be too hard to make one yourself, though.

They're funding videos where beavers whisper into microphones?

Is this only available on streaming or can I buy it on video / DVD?

Ain’t they like 40?

So are some people who stream movies. So are some people who work fast food.

Unless I passed out reading this thread and woke up in Logan's Run I'm not seeing the problem.

Because they punished the executives who talked to a trans woman and now neither side will claim the swill.

That's a lesson in waffling, not political correctness.

Counterpoint: I am glad the show is coming back and I hope Bobi gets to transition.

What are you talking about? '93 was like yesterday.
What's a "90s station"? This is contemporary music.

For real though, whatever your time is and theirs has overlapped because they're still touring.

That's off Marvin The Album, yeah?
And the EP it was a single on but like originally I mean.

'92, '93 something like that.

How does he turn it into flour?

Does he ...mill it?
