He’s never going to be President but Pudding Fingers is doing everything he can to destroy the planet all the same.

  1. I didn’t “pick” the one with the highest rating and I don’t appreciate you implying that I am somehow being disingenuous. I just use Rotten Tomatoes. But, since you want to compare scores, I’ll just say Metacritic’s 58 critic score is based on 23 reviews while Rotten Tomatoes is based on 51 critics.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

Yeah I can get a better burger/fry combo from a local restaurant that uses high quality ingredients and cares about having my business. There’s no reason to pay the same for low quality junk from a fast food chain.

While the United States holiday was adopted by some other countries, existing celebrations, held on different dates, honoring motherhood have become described as “Mother’s Day”, such as Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom or, in Greece, the Eastern Orthodox celebration of the presentation of Jesus Christ to the temple (2 February of Julian Calendar). Both the secular and religious Mother Day are present in Greece. Mothering Sunday is often referred to as “Mother’s Day” even though it is an unrelated celebration.

In some countries, the date adopted is one significant to the majority religion, such as Virgin Mary Day in Catholic countries. Other countries selected a date with historical significance. For example, Bolivia’s Mother’s Day is a fixed date, commemorating a battle in which women participated to defend their children.

Some countries, such as Russia, celebrated International Women’s Day instead of Mother’s Day or simply celebrate both holidays, which is the custom in Ukraine. Kyrgyzstan has recently introduced Mother’s Day, but “year on year International Women’s Day is certainly increasing in status”. Source via Wikipedia

TL;DR In many countries the modern form of the holiday is strongly influenced by the US version but may be centered around an pre-existing holiday intended to celebrate motherhood from their unique cultural/religious traditions.

Dangit… This makes me feel so old right now. Call me Imhotep because I’m downright ancient. 🤦‍♂️

Well he’s not the one running a Presidential campaign as an Independent and telling the world about his brain worms. Believe it or not, not everything is about Bernie Sanders.

Your ignorance of current events does not make it a bad political cartoon.

r/The_Donald helped radicalize users into far-right identities and discourse – Active users on r/The_Donald increasingly used white nationalist vocabularies in their comments within three months. (journals.sagepub.com)

I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

Yeah, I’ve always described r/Conservative as The_Donald dressed up in their dad’s suit and tie. But once The_Donald was finally banned (after they already left for their own website - thanks for nothing spez) r/Conservative dropped all pretenses.

It’s 2024, anyone feigning ignorance about what constitutes a “far-right vocabulary” is just being disingenuous.

Did it actually radicalize, or just take the mask off?

When a community allows you to feel comfortable “taking the mask off” and embracing your inner bigot that is radicalization. So yes, The_Donald did radicalize people. Your comment is an attempt to highlight a distinction without a functional difference.

“Increasingly” is the key word there, pal.

“Gamer precursor” is a bit of a surprise.
