This would be a hilarious thought to go viral. Like imagine so many people repeating that he doesn't know how to ride a bike that it would get to the point that he would hold a special media conference just to prove otherwise. But in typical fashion, there would be something really weird about it that would still cast doubt over whether he actually could ride a bike or if it was somehow faked.
Kind of a shit article. Refers to the candidate as a "failed rapper", calls ranked choice voting a "confusing system" but I suppose it's at least getting the word out
Obligatory reminder that saying the USPS has "struggled financially in recent years" is straight up sanewashing misinformation. They used to be one of the only public services to actually be profitable (not that i think that should matter; government shouldn't have any kind of profit motive) and the only reason they aren't technically still is because Republicans have been trying to privatize and ratfuck USPS for decades. A few years ago they passed a law requiring the USPS to fully fund retirement pensions for the next like 70 years, thus on paper the service now looks like it's in the red.
Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet but my big one is physics in microgravity. There are some that do it well (like obv Apollo 13 given how they filmed it, and The Expanse is usually pretty good about it too) and plenty that it doesn't really matter but there's a bunch of movies and tv shows that hang major plot points on poorly thought out physics. The worst offender imo was ironically the movie Gravity, where a major character dies because apparently when two people are tethered to each other in zero-g and the line goes taut they don't just bounce back towards each other, oh no, because there's an extra special force that keeps pulling on the futher person so he has to make some dramatic self sacrifice. I was so sad because that movie looked really amazing from a cinematography perspective and obviously a lot of people loved it regardless but i just couldn't get past how dumb that and a few other scenes were.
No doubt, but imo "natural talent" is way less common than just people who have put in the work, at least for musicians in my experience. For every person i know that just started rippin shit from when they were 3 years old there's like 20 more folks who have just put in the hours. I also think some people who seem to have that natural talent it's more like they just were immersed in that environment from birth. Music is a lot like a language; you can always learn a new language as an adult but people that grow up speaking it because of their environment will make it look effortless.
