@bazzhunter1 @piecesreeces_ RIP Goonking

there's one space here that's even a little out there, who made this lmao

@FortySacks That’s the only way to get them thinking “What do they mean they don’t eat at steakhouses regularly? They aren’t cruising? What’s going on here?” anything other than letting them piece the puzzle together themselves will be met with resistance.

@FortySacks The only working tactic at this point is to just patronize them. No arithmetic will convince them. Inundate them with the most earnest sounding “Oh? You went on a cruise? That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity” and “You ate at a steakhouse? I wish I could afford that, good job”

Had a conversation today with a classic elbows-up boomer. We got onto mortgages, so I asked if she still had one. She said no, she paid it off about 30 years ago. I asked how, and she said she and her husband barely went out in the 1980s. Only a few times a year for birthdays and their anniversary. Her takeaway was that young people today spend too much. I pushed back. I told her a lot of younger people do not go out much at all because they simply cannot afford to. The ones who are financially careful already know this. Then I asked what they originally paid for their house. She said $50,000, with an interest rate around 15 percent. I asked about her husband’s income. He had a PhD and earned about $14,000 a year. I checked the numbers using the Bank of Canada inflation calculator. That $14,000 salary in 1972 works out to roughly $108,000 today. So despite the high interest rate, they were dealing with a much cheaper house relative to income, and their purchasing power was stronger than what a six-figure salary gets you now. There are some who aren’t like that, but most of them are.

@PurpleTreeFrogg @u_m_a_m_i K so umami is repeating from somuchhappenin who is sharing a Boardroom graph from Variety who sources the data from LuminateData who doesn’t have a properly working website. Seems legit. Also it’s “minutes watched” not total views, as hidden very carefully in the bottom of image.

You are not going to convince me any of these shows are real.

@HermeticHaven @Sturgeons_Law The lyrics are such slop that it’s better to not know them. Many Koreans don’t enjoy this stuff because they understand what is being said and it all sounds like Kesha or Pitbull.

@Sturgeons_Law Do you understand that this genre got popular in the west amongst people who could not speak Korean and as such, largely had no fucking idea what they were saying for the majority of the songs? It's slop beyond slop.

Every time I hear a song from one of the top-selling k-pop groups, I become more certain that k-pop is the worst form of internationally popular music overall.

@H8KUcom @kwo_kwo @Thefactsdude They had to hunt him down in Puerto Rico, wasting way more of their time over this. Plenty of real criminals to arrest, they just got mad cuz embarassed.

@kwo_kwo @Thefactsdude You do not want to live in a society where groids are free to waste the time and attention of police without consequence.

NEW: Florida man arrested after pranking deputy with AI deepfake video of patrol car break-in 25-year-old Alexis Martínez-Arizala showed a Seminole County deputy a fake 3-second AI video claiming people were breaking into his patrol car at Academy Sports in Lake Mary. Store surveillance proved it never happened. He was tracked down and arrested in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He faces charges including fabricating evidence and false report to law enforcement. Held on $7,000 bond pending extradition to Seminole County. Look who’s laughing now 🤣

@rkig1417 @ouranometrian2 Wrap the stem air tight to prevent the banana releasing gas and slow down the decay

@ouranometrian2 My bananas have been going from green to black in like 4 days recently and I wanna commit something over it.

Only cried once today because every fucking vegetable we bought from Kroger on Sunday is rotten, like breaking down in juice rotten, and half of the eggs I cracked have blood in them. What the hell?

@Elthesensai @AutismCapital @Pirat_Nation Step 4 never happens, you cannot satiate the beast. More realistic Step 4’s: Raise subscription price, force ads even with subscription, sell subscriber user data, raise subscription price again

@AutismCapital @Pirat_Nation Step 1: enshittificate service Step 2: charge heavily for the service to be less shitty Step 3: enjoy the praise the fanboys are willing to bestow on us for charging them for the privilege making our new shit service a little less shit but still shit. Step 4: enjoy profits.

YouTube is reportedlytesting unskippable ads up to 90 seconds long on smart TVs and streaming devices. • Up to 90-second ad breaks • No skip option • Designed mainly for TV viewing • Fewer, but longer ad interruptions • Higher ad revenue focus They want more users to pay for Premium

@PupscanLA Finally some good news

Update Suspect Looks To Be Dead

@elonmusk @david_parker He says this, and then does nothing.

@david_parker Yeah

Canada is cooked

@Adam83492464721 @OracleGuruMike @Kokoo1684120922 @THemingford Technically you can do all of that at the local library. It’ll be a pain in the ass but it’s available to use like that.

@OracleGuruMike @Kokoo1684120922 @THemingford Try doing any sort of personal admin without an internet connection. Go on. File tax, make appointments, get insurance, sign up for and pay for utilities…

People compare wages to the past but ignore this: You now must pay for things that didn't exist before - or weren't required. The baseline cost of living has expanded dramatically. Pay has not.

@GiaMMacool @realfemsapien @UnchartedFather “Make a completely false and incendiary claim and watch people get mad at you” is such a big brain take, way to go.

Now switch the tweet and say the same thing about men and watch how mean men get in the comment section lol I have learned by posting about both men and women, that they do the exact same thing and neither one wants to admit it. Worst Twitter rewards accounts that only talk about one side alone

As a wife, I understand why desirable men are opting out of relationships these days. These women are mean out here! Not rude. Not unpleasant. Straight up mean and diabolical.

@FL_S139_4 I don’t disagree but the money angle shouldn’t be understated as it can help a lot of the underlying issues beyond affording a relationship in itself. It affords you sociability, better grooming and fashion, a healthier lifestyle, even a dating coach if you need it.

Z世代男として普通に生きてたら分かるけど、少子化って「金がない」とか以前に構造的に詰んでるんよな 恋愛の難易度が上がりすぎて、並の男は交際どころか初回デートすら辿り着けない。一方で上位層に需要が集中して二極化が進行してるんよ さらにコンプラ強化で距離の詰め方もミスれない＝試行回数も稼げない これでどうやって結婚増やすねんって話だよな

@stacey_mc1990 @Vibez899 @meadandjuniper Our society can’t sustain itself by importing the third world, either. It’s just easier to keep that bubble inflated than address the underlying causes.

@Vibez899 @meadandjuniper There's a lot of wild speculation here. Is connection and communication correlated with higher childbirth rates? Maybe, maybe not. What *IS* for sure, is that our society can't sustain itself without fresh infusions of fully grown adults from other countries.

I have some friends who, despite not being asexual to my knowledge, are completely sexless; they have little to no romantic history, they don’t pursue partners, they don’t even express sexual desire; and I want so badly to know why, but it feels egregiously nosy to ask such a q

@ercml18 @Chris8711 @meadandjuniper Look at you just making up stories about people in order to reinforce your own preconceptions. There’s no teaching someone like you, go live your make-believe.

@Chris8711 @meadandjuniper There are millions of women trapped in marriage they don’t want to be in, Chris

@synblinkerfluid @m_takewaka From this post no you’d be missing the context. Go look at this guy’s post history every time he mentions Americans its superiority claims or pretending to ask questions based on stereotypes.

@117_GuiltySpark @m_takewaka I didn’t get that from his post, but ok.

見にくいですが赤信号です。 アメリカではこの場合でも安全確認できれば右折可能です。日本なら左折可能と解釈することができます。しかし、日本では赤信号で左折する事はできません。赤信号は完全に「止まれ」を意味します。 たまにレンタカーを運転する外国人が赤信号で左折するのを見ると「アメリカから来たのかな？」と思って見ていますが、日本では違反ですのでお気をつけください。 なお、背景に見える大きな山が富士山です。今は日本一の山。過去には日本で2番目に高い山でした。

@Disco77Cowboy @Charlie157874 @m_takewaka Of course you can’t address the point and resort to stupid insults. Fuck off.

@117_GuiltySpark @Charlie157874 @m_takewaka When you look in the mirror do you see a dumbass? 🤣😄🤣 Have a good day and smile for the world to see

アメリカのシャワーヘッドって、ほぼ固定式なの。なんでなんだろ🤔 日本のみたいにホース式じゃないとお尻洗えないじゃん！アメリカ人はちゃんとお尻洗ってるの？🤣

@fandompulse Blocked for bringing up Matt fucking Jarbo in 2026 and putting his ugly mug on my feed.

Podcaster Matt Jarbo claims HBO is trying to get ahead of Black Snape controversy: "You can almost guarantee that the producers of Harry Potter are now desperate to get out ahead of the Snape controversy. The memes are running rampant, and they are breaching the mainstream and in a way that is going to control the narrative. The only way to settle it right now would be to show how good of an actor he is and hope that it wins people over. Because if we have to wait until Christmas to see in action, the memes will grow and grow and grow and grow and the television adaptation of Harry Potter will turn into a real life version of Sisyphus." Is it already too late? Is this show the next Snow White movie?

@synblinkerfluid @m_takewaka It’s a stupid assumption based on this guy’s personal antipathy towards Americans.

@117_GuiltySpark @m_takewaka Did you read what they said? Their left turn is the equivalent to our right turn. Japan drives on the left side of the road. The U.S. is one of the only places that legally allows a right on red, so that’s why the assumption is that when they see a rental car turning left.
