I can't read the article (it's behind a paywall) but the headline caught my attention

A travel influencer said social media has become a 'copycat rabbit hole' with little support for original content creators
Bree Rose, a popular travel influencer, said she thinks social media favors trend-driven content and should do more for creators' mental health.

Wait, social media should do more for content creators' mental health?? You have a non-job doing nothing but influencing easily-influenced idiots to buy shit. And now the places you post your stupid videos need to do more for your mental health?? Get a job!

It is. I almost posted this in that thread instead. Actually it was you that put it in that thread!

And it still pisses me off.

Maybe that one was my pre-post.

Reading this horrific story made me sick. Here is another lunatic who deserves the death penalty. And of course he says he's not guilty. He is.

Who knew Mr bean was smart and had opinions? I wonder if he wrote this speech himself. Isn't Mr bean like the weekend at Bernie's guy of the UK? Meaning so incredibly stupid it turns the corner to being like kind of funny. Like making three left turns of stupidity turns type thing.

Anyway he makes a lot of sense here.

The "Weekend at Bernie's" guy was dead throughout the movie. How does that compare to Rowan Atkinson/Mr. Bean? I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I suspect Atkinson is a beloved comedy figure in the UK. Like John Cleese or Benny Hill.

Idk, I guess I was thinking that weekend at Bernie's is really really stupid 90s comedy and I don't really know Mr bean but from what I've seen in clips his type of comedy is also really really stupid.

I'd venture to say he's the UK's Adam Sandler.
For some reason my initial action Just seeing you say that was wanting to disagree with you but after I think about it for a second I think you're right. I mean '90s. Adam Sandler made his name by basically just pretending to be a retarded person and playing it up for comedy and Mr. Bean is kind of the same thing.

Teri and I saw Rowan Atkinson in Rat Race in 2001 and Mr. Bean's Holiday in 2007. That was a sequel to the 1997 movie Bean (which we never saw). Here is an excerpt. Atkinson also played Father Gerald in Four Weddings & A Funeral.
