How long have you been together, sorry if you answered elsewhere and I missed it?

Interesting if true

What’s the quote that Mehdi is talking about, then?

Can someone remind me what Hank is actually yelling to Jesse in this scene? Fuck I need to watch this show again

“They” in this sentence denotes Americans collectively, not just Americans who drink. Although yes, in actual fact outside the world of grammar, it’s only the alcohol-drinking Americans who are consuming more alcohol, the sentence doesn’t break “Americans” into subgroups in the way that your sentence implies.

When I first saw this, I thought the implication was that they used real archers and the actors protected themselves by wearing these devices that would somehow block and capture the arrows, which would also miraculously never miss

Did they stop using these? Looks just as good as CGI… Actor is probably a lot more aware of it…

It’s horrifying to me that any of these fucking games are running outside userspace. Is anti cheat the only reason why that is necessary? Why is it necessary for anti cheat?

And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.

Rogan is an idiot, but did you know that his podcast is the most popular one in the world? It has 16 million subscribers, I think just on Spotify. “Alt right” is too reductive; this would be an excellent move for Harris.

Swing and a miss

You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

I don’t own mine because I pirated them

We are not the same

edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

I’d be interested to see any sociological evidence supporting that theory if there is any.

Go to bed, Jordan Peterson

Okay, but “never have I ever understood why X” is just turning “never have I ever” into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.

Whoah, managing that in Florida is no joke! At least you have access to seafood.

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.

You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There’s only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a “weirdness” perspective, and there’s not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

“OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.

That cake looks pretty fancy for a racist gag. My understanding is that swastikas are pretty widespread as a generic “holy” decoration in India and Asia. I’m wondering if that image isn’t originally from a bakery from that region.
