It kills me that my brain is so pedantic I needed to come into the comments to make sure that a correction (or a more accurate pun) was made. I’m much more grateful for your pun than an actual correction.
The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...
Man have I got bad news for you. Almost everything uses idiots as the baseline for making stuff. They’re so numerous. Probably because everyone’s an idiot about something.
Apparently, the classification levels in the US are illegal! Snowden will rejoice, he can come home, as the first amendment allows free speech, even when it damages national security.
I did not read the article, but the summary made me actually laugh out loud. Hell the supreme court has already said the government has the right to intern a whole class of US citizens based on national security. The SCOTUS rulings do seem rather crazy at times to me though, so perhaps this is a winning strategy for ByteDance.
Historically, I’ve perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
Two things are happening simultaneously Russia/China are trying to spread discontent, and Trumps followers are being told they no longer have to abide by social norms that keeps societies civil.
I believe the uncivil thing just always comes in waves as the people that don’t like change are forced to change and get resentful. Some kind of event happens and resets the floor, or all the people that don’t want to change die off, and things settle down.
And this is the mental framework through which I see the world.
They ask what will happen next. My guess is… nothing changes, someone in the future whistleblows, and ‘kills themselves’ with a double tap to the back of the head. It’s a toss up whether the public will ever know of the whole ordeal.
This is dumb, diplomats have been talking to each other the whole time. Not like they just started asking the Houthis to stop targeting ships, they’ve been asking the whole time, and will continue to ask for it to stop, even as missiles fly on both sides.
He had unlimited resources, and was associated with people who were fashionable and members of high-society, but he himself almost always wore really ugly clothes. Was it a statement of his power, that he didn’t need to worry about his appearance, or did he just not give a shit?
Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it)....
I think The Lockpicking Lawyer (YouTuber)has consistently put out good April’s fools videos. I do have a sophomoric sense of humor though, and they are all based on innuendo.
I find myself compelled to cast my thoughts into the void of the internet, hoping to hear some echoes back in the form of scathing remarks that capture the absolute vapidity of this horrendous shitshow, this lamentable waste of time, manpower and bandwidth....
I must admit, I saw the videos before watching the movie. Based on the content of the videos, decided I could skip watching the movie. I imagine PipedBot will be along shortly with the other links.

This is a generalization on the same level as “all black people are…” and makes just as much sense. I think they’re stupid too, but did it because it’s what everyone but the parents wanted. I didn’t think the day was about me, but my parents and in-laws were excited about the whole thing, and it made them happy. But apparently that level of self absorption means my two children should be taken from me…
I still miss having a physical keyboard for messages. If HTC had kept making slide out keyboard phones, I woulda kept buying. Though it seems, based on market trends, I might have been one of the very few.
I feel I might have misunderstood something here, as it seems like this argument is ‘Anal sex can’t be pleasurable, because that’s where poop comes from and poop is bad’. Am I understanding his argument correctly?
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I also won’t be going back to BK, but for a different reason. I last went there around 2015, and waited for 25 minutes for them to make me a whopper. The three previous visits to different locations all had me waiting more than 15 minutes for my order. Having worked at BK before, I know that it doesn’t take 25 minutes if you had put the frozen patty on the broiler 5 minutes after I had ordered it. I could have gone into the building, placed the order, made the order myself, and still have it be under 20, being unfamiliar with the building I was walking into.
It’s a terribly sad thing, as I actually prefer them to McD.
