  • Interesting read but also some obvious flaws.

    HUGE bias towards franchises. Daniel Radcliffe being the 3rd highest rated actor, by average online review, is one of the biggest outliers on there. An 8 movie franchise is being counted the same as someone like Andrey Hepburn who didn’t touch a sequel in their life. Not only that, but Radcliffe’s lack of other films bring up his average.

    Using median box office rather than total box office is a weird one to me. Again, it benefits actors who weren’t in a whole ton of movies. I would imagine Clark Gable would still be high on the list of you went by total box office, yet he’s nowhere to be found. Again, it benefits someone like Daniel Craig who hasn’t starred in a whole lot besides James Bond.

    All this bias towards franchises gives us the result that the 12th best actor of all time is (laughably) Mark Ruffalo. Who gets this insane result because of being connected to The Avengers, despite receiving like 5th billing in those movies.




  • I wouldn’t call that centerist because you’re not claiming to be in the middle on any issues. Too many of these “ideas from both sides” are at complete contradiction to each other. One of the parties is overtly racist and says diversity is bad. Being a racist pro-choicer doesn’t make you a centerist.

    Also about news bias, it should be the default to be least biased in my opinion. The news should be boring and should just tell you what happened without telling you how you should feel about it.

    Yeah would be great. That sort of reporting died a long time ago.


  • There is no political center between the current left and right parties in the United States. For example, one is pro-choice the other is pro-life. There is no middle on that issue. This is the post-truth world and we are now in different realities. You can’t believe half of the Q stuff and then believe half of the Bernie stuff. If you don’t follow politics enough to have an opinion you wouldn’t call yourself a centerist.

    Describing yourself as a “centerist” in today’s conditions usually means you support Trump but are too embarrassed to say it out loud/you know you’ll receive backlash for saying it.
