I've seen a lot of think pieces on "here's why ben affleck isn't doing a bad" and all of them focus on how "it's not a slop machine, actually." With that context, I think it's important to articulate why it's bad even if it's not a slop machine.

Dreamt the other night that I had tattoo money
My sex dreams always end with me trying to explain how my foot got stuck in the bucket
fair enough.

Hmm. That sounds like a weak position or the arbiter of colors to take.
the anarcho-syndicalist in me is screaming right now, but turns out it's pretty easy to sell out your own values when someone is calling you lord emperor. fuck it.
