I don’t why you are so downvoted. Your comment didn’t come off as shilling for Snapchat or anything, and it just clarifies things for people who only read the headline. I appreciate the clarification.
This is still an invasion of privacy, but not quite as egregious as using people’s faces in global advertisements. Obligatory fuck Snapchat, regardless.
I really want to believe you typed that all out right now, but I guess either way, it’s also pretty batshit crazy to have that ready to copy and paste.
Also I spotted a 21 Savage in there somewhere. It’s almost like a word search.
It probably depends on slight differences in regional dialect. Where I am from I would say woman and women are often pronounced pretty similarly, while man and men are easier to tell apart.
In my region, woman is often pronounced with an ‘uh’ sound, like womuhn. It’s pretty easy to confuse with women. I have noticed that people in my area will sometimes vary up the ‘wo’ part of women and woman depending on which one they are using. So women becomes ‘wimen’, and woman becomes ‘wumuhn’.
You ask the important questions. That is a tough one. I imagine that to most gen alpha kids, an adult using their slang would be considered Ohio behavior, but it probably depends on how Sigma they consider the teacher to be.
Ohio is just used as a replacement for weird or cringey. That’s really it. Ohio rizz is what they call it when someone is awkward, weird, or creepy when flirting.
I know it’s a joke, but Dr. Peterson has never said anything as profound as the root comment. He can definitely say some things that are as long winded as that comment, but his point would be about women being better off in the kitchen, or something about how pronouns are going to end civilization, or some garbage like that.
I would argue that Arnold kind of has a brand around being wholesome nowadays.
I think it’s more the fact that all male celebrities got away with this kind of behavior and worse in the past, but more recently people have started to look back on it with a critical lens. The nature of social media amplifies that critical lens.
You are replying to the most obvious of jokes, but even if it wasn’t a joke your response doesn’t really make sense. There is nothing in that comment that would imply that the person writing that comment misunderstood what you wrote.
That’s just Kid Rock’s tour bus.
Culvers opened up some restaurants near me in the past few years, and it is so much better than In N Out. I’m glad y’all Midwesterners gassed them up enough for them to expand out this way.
The fries are the worst. They put no seasoning on them and they are never crispy. I don’t get how the place is so popular. I want to like them, because they have great prices, and give fairer wages to employees than almost all other fast food places, but it’s just not very good.
They seem to be doing fine without me, though. I work across the parking lot from one, and it is packed for every single hour they are open.
Ich spreche genug Deutch, um zu sagen, das ist eine augenfick.
They sell these at Walmart, too. It really only requires a chance sighting of it and a couple weeks allowance for a young teen or kid to end up with one of these cheap smartphones.
This is so well written. Thanks for posting this, really.
I am saving this for the next time someone tries to deny climate change just to try and seem smart or be a contrarian. You explained it so much better than I could have.
Its not over yet. I was raised in one of these places. My schooling was a joke. Then I discovered the internet, and all that brainwashing they tried to do in primary school faded pretty quickly.
These kids aren’t going to be that easy to lie to with the way the internet is. Some will fall for the propaganda but many will not.
Yea the social score thing seems like a misunderstanding of Chinese culture.
Chinese culture (and other Asian cultures) have a history of shunning people who have committed ‘shameful’ acts out of their communities.
The MMA guy that the previous comment was talking about was shunned out of living a normal life in China for exposing the phony Kung Fu masters in China.
The Chinese government has experimented with different kinds of social score systems, though most didn’t stick. They do have a credit/banking score system just like we have in the US, too. Still, I think most of this blacklisting just comes from their culture, and not from the Chinese government enforcing social scores.
I should have put a /s because the comment about aesthetic over readability was sarcastic. I was just joking, and I definitely agree with you.
Grok is a verb, meaning to understand something intuitively or by empathy. It was first used in the novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.
Grok has been adopted by the tech community for use when someone is very advanced at using a certain program or a command line utility, etc. When somebody gets to such an advanced level, they don’t just understand the program and it’s uses anymore, they grok it.
It’s actually kind of annoying and sad that Elon is stealing the word to use for his LLM.
Oh, I see now. I’m dumb. I didn’t realize this just brings up random URLs to web 1.0 pages. Thanks for pointing that out!
The little black box with a screen is a pager. Pagers have been in the news because Israel made a bunch of Hezbollah pagers splode, in case you somehow missed all of that.
