  • One of the things I have always hated about american christmas movies is that ALL of them are rich people. Like the most disturbingly rich people. Always presented as like the totally average normal american.

    Not just Christmas movies but pretty much all family themed TV shows in America are set in mansion sized houses in the suburb of a major city while the parents hold middle class jobs.

  • English is my first language and I still mess up "pluralism" from time to time.

  • I don't know how that cropping made it past the editor. It's a huge violation of every photo composition rule, and while you can break it for artistic purposes, you certainly don't cut off one of the recipients of your magazine's most important annual bullshit award.

  • We grew up in a world before AI so we have a frame of reference to compare it to. Just think about the people born into this slopfilled landscape where the content their young minds absorb will overwhelmingly be AI generated. It will be the normalized default for them. There is going to be a much sharper generational divide than the internet savvy millennial vs tech illiterate boomer that we saw in the early 00s.

  • lol just calling him a "UFC fighter" is underselling his notoriety. He is also a holocaust denying flat-earther. Every time he butts heads with MAGA it is because he is far to the right of them. Horseshoe theory redeems him on this one issue here.

  • I can understand why they'd get the elephant and alligator so wrong, but owls are common throughout Europe!

  • TFW you realize you own books by Chomsky and Krauss and DVDs starring Depp. Though in my defense, they're all in deep storage because I don't consume physical media anymore. But goddamn are our libraries just filled to the brim with pedos.

  • Senpai is noticing you.

  • EVERY German company and over half of Western European corporations and banks collaborated with Nazi Germany. Not to mention many of the biggest American companies of that time- GM, IBM, Ford, Kodak, etc. Most of the ones that still exist today have never been held accountable for their complicity. It's obscene how quickly they were able to whitewash their public image after the war.

  • "Zo" vs "Zoh" is going to be the new Yankees vs Mets.

  • He's trying to make the argument that if the tech giants worked together they could accomplish great things for the world. But this literally happened:

    And what did they collaborate on? To buy favor from the Trump administration to get rid of pesky regulations that are holding them back from even bigger quarterly profits.

  • I would accept being peddled ads in my kitchen in exchange for a free refrigerator. But these fridges cost just as much, if not more than a "dumb" fridge. No upside here for the customer.

  • Looks even dorkier than a belt clip phone holster.

  • Ha, I buy my sweet potatoes from Hmart (Korean grocer) because they have the best selection. Also the only place that sells the purple ones. I just steam them and eat it plain because they're tasty enough already.

  • Sweet potatoes are tastier and more nutritious than regular ol white potato. Not as versatile for cooking because it gets mushy and has a stronger flavor profile though. But if you're just eating them by themselves as a snack the sweet potato is far superior. Fun fact: despite their name and similar appearance they are from completely different botanical families.

  • You just know that Thiel thinks Sauron is the protagonist of LOTR.

  • Have you seen the Congressional schedule? They get more days off than kindergarten. The hardest part of their job is trying to stay awake during long filibusters.

  • Gracie Mansion is ~11,000 square feet (not sure if that is the interior space or the total estate). I did some rough math and calculated that he could own 594 cats if he maintained the same cat density after winning the mayoral race.
