Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish...

Je trouvais ta question intéressante et je me demandais comment je pouvais y répondre. Tu m'as servi ça sur un plateau : j'ai tellement lu de Stephen King en me disant "un moment donné je vais tomber sur un livre qui va me surprendre et qui va justifier tout le hype".

C'est jamais arrivé. Le dernier livre j'ai essayé était Le Fléau (The Stand) que je n'ai même pas fini et depuis je n'ai plus redonné de chances à ses livres.

Sinon dans un autre ordre d'idée, en grandissant il y a tellement d'artistes musicaux que je me "forçais" à aimer. Maintenant mon critère est "est-ce que j'aime ça ?" C'est tout ce qui compte. J'ai terminé de me forcer à aimer des groupes, souvent qui sont populaires et en réalité mediocres. De toute façon je connais une quantité de bands tellement grande que ça ne me manque pas de ne pas écouter ceux que tout le monde s'enfonce dans le fond de la gorge sans réfléchir.

Oh totally not, but that's my point. If you are going to exploit those people, at least treat them with dignity before they go in front of the camera. Even Jerry Springer had at least the decency to pay for the flight, the hotel, the limo... before treating his guests like monkeys for his show. Not that it would excuse it, but it would appear a tad more humane.

That's the thing, I totally get why people say he's a sociopath cause even though he's fucking rich, he can't even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other's stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it's that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. "At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it". It's disgusting... He's not considering those people as humans but as cattle.

This reads like another Fyre Festival. Just when I thought my opinion of him could not get lower.

Well not really. And this is not to defend this company, I hate them so much, but I just want to highlight the difference.

When you go on Ticketmaster the price shown is what you will pay. Including the taxes and whatever bullshit fees they want to add. So you know exactly what it is going to cost you. What Cineplex was doing was showing the cost of the ticket (let's say at 15$ or whatever), but when you go checkout, now the cost is 15$+tx, PLUS the ordering online fees as well. That is what was ruled illegal.

I hope this is a typo cause it would be really weird to get such an emotional reaction from classical music.

It is possible for someone with two X chromosomes to still be colorblind, but since this gene is recessice you have to have the mutation on both chromosomes, which makes it way more rare.
