Wow CNN “journalists” really can’t interview worth a damn.
Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It’s like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn’t a product of breeding.
I can’t imagine this will reach the right audience, but in the lead up to the superb owl this year I was saying that a great sketch about this country would be to have this giant hyped up spectical where everyone’s getting all fucking jazzed up and talking about how all of this epic shit is going to happen and then at the climax of the sketch you get to the actual “action” and it’s just a dude flipping a coin once.
That’s America IMO, and it’s definitely illustrated fully in the super bowl: six hours for ten seconds of actual action interrupted constantly by bullshit and commercials and followed by idiots tearing “their city” apart because their laundry was crowned “world champions” of a sport only played by people in one country.
Right back at ya bitch
You’re supposed to lose your money. That’s the business.
That manual correction: installing Linux.
Yeah the hypocrisy is deeply baked into the culture.
Whenever I watch a true crime show where they start out with “and they’re good, churchgoing people who could’ve expected this?” I’m like 🙄…me, that’s who.
I’ll go shittier phone before I’ll go phablet ever again. I bought a motorola razr 2023. I bought a foldable because I want the shit to fit in my pocket. It also is the only flip phone I’ve seen that hasn’t made the imbecilic decision to coat the entire front panel in glass. I don’t need a full miniature phone making my shit more fragile when it’s clamped shut. If they continue to glass panel it up on the outside of newer editions I’ll try to find a case that just covers the entire outside.
But ultimately I’m holding onto this thing as long as I possibly can.
I have no idea why everyone – including the reviewers – think people need a glass panel on the outside of a flip phone with all kinds of smart capabilities. The phone is fucking closed. If I want to use the phone I’ll open it. All I need is maybe the time.
Love it. Reminds me of Monty Python art.
Doesn’t help that they go on to run them elsewhere afterwards too so they aren’t even exclusive anymore.
If you watch the playoffs (or sometimes even the late season), most of the commercials are also aired during that. It’s like an additional penalty for the folks who actually follow the game.
At this point, Kanye has been a black nazi and failed politician longer than he was a relevant artist.
When people (inevitably) retaliate against for you going to HR, if the labor laws in your state support it, you can file a lawsuit against the company and they’ll usually settle out of court for a tidy sum of cash. I don’t remember what I saw it on but this one dude was talking about how that’s what he always does. He gets a job at some factory or something, goes into the breakroom and someone’s always talking about something sexual regarding their personal life, he says “I don’t want to hear that” and they always repeatedly fuck up, he goes to HR about it, HR doesn’t do what they’re supposed to and the person reported retaliates and then he sues and they settle out of court with him and he gets another payday.
It’s kinda like having the lady full of lip filler and botox injections telling us that we shouldn’t inject vaccines because we don’t know what toxins are in them.
A couple of weeks in and this dude is already grasping at straws.
I like how “‘libs of tiktok’ posted a thing” is just immediately made into a story now.
This creation of a fake world (or model) to manage instead of dealing with the real problems of a complex, real one is such an interesting take on how modern systems work.
I’m starting to think that the complexities of even dealing with real people and their actual views on the Internet were too much for the broligarchs to manage, for instance, and that’s why they’re obsessed with AI.
If you can replace the real Internet with one composed of strictly bots talking to each other, you’ve created a facsimile of the Internet that’s easier to control and manage.
Other people actually giving a damn enough to do something other than post about it. I protested in the past and absolutely nobody gave a shit and it had zero effect. I don’t even think the protest was covered on the news.
I suspect that for any average American (or even a single digit percentage of them) to bother getting involved things are going to have to get extremely bad.
