  • If Americans Had Serbians' Balls...

    跳过

  • No, the sign makes sense and highlights the main reason the Serbs are so opposed to the hotel. The proposed site was a historical building that was bombed by NATO during the war for Kosovo’s independence. Serbs pretty universally see those events as “American” bombings and often cite them as cause to despise the US. So, the sign is pointing out the insensitivity of an American developer building a hotel in that location by comparing it to a Japanese developer building a hotel in Pearl Harbor.

    Given how deeply Serbia is within the sphere of Russian influence, I doubt they care one way or the other that it’s affiliated with Jared Kushner, they just don’t like that it would have been owned by an American.

  • Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

    跳过

  • Yup, I’m super tempted to start stocking up on cheap VR games in anticipation for the Frame, but I need to see the final price and be 100% sure I’m going for it before I commit to games that I can’t otherwise play.

  • dreams are all that remain

    跳过

  • Reset to 2016? We should be so lucky. I’ll be amazed if they have the political will to even reset back to 2024 and undo the damage that has been inflicted just this year alone.

  • Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play?

    跳过

  • That guy who lives in the dumpster definitely shows full frontal nudity at a couple points.

  • THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short

    跳过

  • Right, but that’s usually called a “mix tape”, not “mixed” unless that’s some kind of regional thing. I’ve never heard anyone call that a “mixed tape” before this post.

  • What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?

    跳过

  • All true, except he’s in Queensland, Australia.

  • Do not Italian the goat

    跳过

  • Hundreds of protesters bought ice scrapers from Home Depot and immediately return them to freeze sales [Monrovia, CA]

    跳过

  • The items the people are holding in the video are just generic plastic putty knives, not purpose-made ice scrapers (i.e. they came from the paint department, not automotive). Still works for the purposes of the protest, but I agree they probably don’t stock very many ice scrapers.

  • Put it to the right next time, I dare you

    跳过

  • No, look. The controls in BOTW/TOTK are really simple. The sprint/go fast button is always B. Unless you’re on a horse - then it’s A.

    Or if you’re swimming or climbing, because then it’s X.

  • ‘Mega-layoffs’ under Trump as corporations have cut 1 million jobs this year—most since 2003

    跳过

  • I’m actually kind of shocked by the names at the bottom of the list. Like really? Marco Rubio’s entire net worth is less than a cheap house in the SF Bay Area?

  • it was only 8 years ago rule

    跳过

  • Absolutely right. Moore was the lamest, laziest, most uninspiring Bond actor. Some of his movies are fun despite him, but it’s a shame he was in so many.

  • DNC chair defends party's redistricting push: This isn't 'your grandfather's Democratic Party that just rolled over'

    跳过

  • I’m not mad. I’m glad they’re showing some semblance of backbone for once. I just think it’s a poorly chosen cliche for him to use the “your grandfather’s Democratic Party” bit, when the party of the past didn’t have the cowardice issues that the current one has had this very same year.

  • DNC chair defends party's redistricting push: This isn't 'your grandfather's Democratic Party that just rolled over'

    跳过

  • No, my grandfather’s Democratic Party instituted the New Deal. The Democratic Party that “just rolled over” was you just a few months ago.

  • Chipotle stock craters as company says young people without jobs can't afford their food anymore

    跳过

  • That, and it was seen as relatively healthy for fast food. It was one of the only fast food options at the time where not everything was fried and drowning in saturated fats. Prior to Chipotle, Subway was considered the healthiest fast food chain.

  • What the hell happened around 2010? Smartphones?

    跳过

  • Right, totally in agreement that their popularity has continued to grow since 2010. Now compare that graph to the graph in the post. SUVs didn’t just come out of nowhere in 2010, but the increase in pedestrian fatalities seemingly did. Therefore other factors besides just the popularity of large vehicles must have contributed to the massive increase in pedestrian fatalities.

  • And what car did you learn in?

    跳过

  • The overwhelming majority of automatic transmissions made in the last 85 years have had torque converters, not automatically operated clutches (referring to the primary connection between motor and driveline, not torque converter lockup clutches or transmission clutch packs). Cars that use the automatic equivalent of a manual clutch pedal have really only been practically produced in the last 15 years in the form of dual wet clutch automatics.

  • What the hell happened around 2010? Smartphones?

    跳过

  • Assuming you’re referring to the US, the SUV explosion was spurred on by the cheap gas in the early 2000’s. Remember the Hummer? Like the H1 with the tank hatch on top? Those were only made until 2006, and the Hummer brand stopped making new vehicles in 2010. The Ford Excursion, the largest SUV ever made, was only made from 2000-2005. Absolutely, the proportion of large vehicles on the road has continued to grow massively, but they were still everywhere prior to 2010. Something else, like smartphones or statistical reporting practices, is more likely to be the cause of the 2010 uptick in this graph.

  • Messages in a bottle from WWI soldiers found on Australian coast

    跳过

  • …especially for Marian Davies - Pte Neville's niece - who remembers her uncle leaving to go to war and never returning.

    How old is she?? They said the notes were written in 1916. If she was old enough to remember her uncle leaving, let’s say 4 at the time, she’d have to be 113 today. Of course that’s possible but wow, what are the chances of finding a living supercentenarian relative with a memory of the author of a 109-year-old letter in a bottle?

  • Texas Professor Terminated Over a Fascist’s Doctored Video

    跳过

  • Texas doesn’t require registration in a party to vote in primaries, so the vast majority of Texans don’t bother to affiliate, and so the proportions of affiliated voters isn’t really very meaningful. More than anything, Texas is a non-voting state. It has some of the lowest voter turnout in the country, which absolutely benefits and is encouraged by the conservatives currently in power. Those who do vote tend to vote straight ticket either based on habit, perceived identity, and social pressures, or out of zealous rage over minimizing taxes at any cost.

    While there is tons of voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other ugly political tactics at play, you can’t discount the immeasurable ignorance of the voters. Yes, there are millions of democrats and progressives in the four main metro areas, but between the Bible thumpers, the suburban NIMBYS, the rednecks, and the flocking tech bros that make up the rest of the population, Texas is definitely still an actual red state.
