It's very frustrating that we as a group are so gullible that someone can invent "unperforated eardrums are weak and gay" as a grift and then 20 years later we are plagued by thinkpieces about how can we do more to reach boys where they are, by maybe having everyone perforate their eardrums a little

This is how kids use it these days, my 12yo daughter was explaining to us that people who say they like kpop but who can't name all the members of blackpink are larpers and when we started talking about how one would use tennis balls as lightning bolts she got this _look_

Is "dweomer" a Deverry reference, because despite being a 15-book series I have _never_ run into another person who's read those.

They can fundraise off it. But it's not like they can use that money to buy nice cars; the money is _to help them win the next one_. Most of it goes to TV stations in the Pittsburgh metro area.

Today I am learning that something like 2/3rds of the people I know personally and more online have a storied, deep, and intimate relationship with this Stephen King book.

Look either we step down so China can step up or we make them push us off the ladder, in 20 years we'll look back and decide this was for the best.

I'd be happy to shop there but I noticed myself not buying AA batteries because I knew I'd have to tell 4+ people "I'm fine thanks" and yeah it's directly their job to help me find things but I can't anymore, I don't want to tell a bunch of people "no" every time I need screws.

I go to the more expensive hardware store now because the Ace by my house forces its employees to seek out customers and ask them what they need, and when you have six people all doing this the whole thing turns into a terrible gauntlet.

When he can't direct his star-struck base to support or oppose some primary candidate anymore, I really a hope a public history of being openly deplorable is just the death knell for a lot of the current republican establishment.

Republicans have been nakedly racing each other to exhibit the most cartoonishly depraved opinions and behavior. Like a comedian who gets bigger laughs the with more vile jokes. But here I think the reward is, Trump likes it; I really wonder what will happen to all that when he's gone.

I was on a Brooklyn grand jury ages ago and they presented an antisemitic hate crime and the perpetrators turned out to belong to a different Jewish sect.

So in this analogy if Kamala Harris told me that water would come out of the faucet when I turned it on, and I didn't listen to her, and I turned on the faucet, and water came out, and I got wet, it would be her fault?

These people experienced a completely different election where Harris spent every night looking directly at them out of their TV screens going "everything Trump wants to do I will do but Worse"

I guess it's Murc' law of me but while I expect racists to vote racistly, I am somehow more upset at the (presumably) leftists in that thread going "where was the alternative? nobody was talking about raids?" being presented with people talking about raids and alternatives and dismissing it.

do you remember two days ago when Kai Ryssdal said "c'mon don't bring iced coffee to a job interview" and people who had died of covid half a decade ago logged back in to tell him to stuff it

It always throws me for a loop when people say they bounced off a book (or game or movie or) because they couldn't "identify with" the main character. I'm not even sure I know what that really means, it's so foreign to what I get out of these things.

There are a lot of viable positions that I'm not seeing represented in the discourse, including: (a) calling an anime by your own translation of the Japanese that differs from the official English title (b) calling an anime by your own translation, into Japanese, of the official English title

I did a go the numbers after the election and it didn't add up to me although I could be wrong, but it honestly doesn't matter because if you were happy she lost then Anubis is weighing each and every child that dies because of cuts to USAID against your soul.

I think the people who refused to vote in 2024 because of this are culpable for the trump administration's actions but I also don't think Harris would have won had they all voted for her instead. 2024 was an economy election.

I mean, I love Kai but he's also 62. If you showed up for a job interview in 1986 with an ill-fitting suit and a big drink, pretty much anywhere, I bet they would have walked you out.

I mean it absolutely is a thing that candidates are sometimes taken to lunch, and the candidate can order an alcoholic drink _if the interviewer orders one_, but if the interviewer gets a coke and the candidate gets a beer, it's not a good look.

Like if her pediatrician does a blood test and says "yeah lead levels are below the minimum we have to worry about, she's good", you're not going to buy a home test kit and make sure, because that would be crazy.
