Not to fan the conspiracy theory flames but the Challenge trailer has been removed from all platforms 👽 Maybe this season was too Cutthroat after all 🔪 #TonFoilHatTime
@saylordocs They could create more convenience routes for people to use for exchanging ideas, news, etc., or even a place where people can easily purchase items that they find themselves needing - without going to a store.
I genuinely don't understand people like Bezos and Musk.
If I had billions of dollars, I would just start fixing everything. Homeless veterans sleeping on the streets? Not on my watch. Hungry children going to bed with empty stomachs? Hell no.
They could be making life better but instead choose to build spaceships and data centers to pump stocks and destroy the planet
@joeroganhq Joe, very few people watch this show. Most of them are in retirement homes.
Their thoughts are irrelevant to the average American who is going to be impacted by future policies.
Ana Navarro: "[Vice President JD Vance] also came in… strategically prepared to disarm us with niceness. He came in being affable and laughing easily and being very nice. I mean, it worked on you, [Joy]. Didn't work on me."
@simonateba If I go take the bar exam, without trying to prepare for it, failing shouldn't make people feel bad for me.
If you want to push yourself on a REAL hike, you should first train your body to be able to support you in your adventure.
Grace suffered heat exhaustion only 2 miles into a hike at Yosemite and people are blaming her for being too fat instead of encouraging her for trying her best. What's your position? WATCH
After watching 'Trainwreck: #Woodstock '99' on @netflix, I really wish I had gone to that festival. What a wild time!
I am also humored by the focus of all the trash in '99, vs. '69, as though single-use plastics/materials were as prominent in the '60s as the '99 event.
I understand where you're coming from, but only 25% of the cast are genuinely challengers.
And we all know that they/you will be THE only targets until you're eliminated.
No one likes seasons with one massive group simply eliminating a minority group. There is no drama, excitement, or fun in that.
Especially when much of the massive group is new people that we don't know.
A lot of people stopped watching pretty early last season, and that's probably what will happen again this season.
There's nothing wrong with bringing in new blood, but (old) fans connect with the realness of rookies, and most of the rookies brought in during recent years are more surface-level, influencer types.
PSA: To the fans, tea accounts, and spoiler pages: If your first reaction to every Challenge season is to tear it down based on rumors, a trailer, or a cast list… You’re not supporting the show. You’re rooting against the people keeping it alive. We put it all on the line to make this franchise. Watch it first, then have an opinion.#TheChallengeCutthroat
The show has lost a LOT of its long-time fan base - centralizing Johnny is a smart way to entice them to watch the new season - a lot of people stopped watching early last season (as the people they root for went home).
Johnny will most certainly be one of the first ones gone though.
They pay him a buttload just to show up, knowing full well he's going to get thrown out as soon as all the rookies can make it happen.
But having him there for the start of the season means that long-time fans are more likely to start the season - and at least some will keep watching after he leaves.
@Jamesjonesik8 🤷♀️
I don't plan to eat at McD's because there have been some ridiculous decisions at the executive level.
There are other 'fish in the sea' and the world will go 'round nonetheless.
A Pakistani man says:
"My family and everyone I know in Pakistan no longer want to come to America because of President Trump."
What's your response to that statement? 👇
I am attempting to watch 'Famously Haunted: Amityville,' and they are basically saying that the killer was 'taken over by a spirit' and blah blah blah.
People actually buy that?
Sure - because that's more logical than someone conscientiously making horrific choices...
@MtOlivePickles@capinsurrep Interesting.
"We are proud of our North Carolina roots" must only include the things that you don't think will lose non-southern customers.
@capinsurrep that would represent the best of our great state.
We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation. Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom.
🎆🌭🍔 Whether you're grilling burgers, loading up hot dogs, or gathering with friends and family, Mt. Olive is ready for every summer celebration.

A tip is a voluntary thing, that diners leave based on the service that they received.
If a business wants to be sure their servers make a certain amount, regardless of customer service, it is the business' place to pay that wage.
I waited at several places in my late teens and early 20s. Some diners were definitely not very generous (some left nothing), but there are also a ton of great diners who are fair.
Some days would be slower than others, and all of us dreaded those days (we didn't make as much in tips), but those are offset by the busy days.
A great server can make or break someone's experience. Some of those who feel like the server was wonderful leave a massive tip.
A man left a $100 on the table once - his order/bill was about $5 total (personal pan and a drink).... As soon as I saw it, I rushed out to his car in the parking lot, to point out his mistake (as there is no way he would mean to leave that much).... But he was one of those people who go above and beyond to help you improve your life. The bill was intended, and that excess $95-ish was mine. That man made a huge difference in my life at that time (was attending a university and struggling a bit).
A lot of people leave more when they can, but a business shouldn't force people to pay a specific amount - that's just a reallocation of funds (bypassing the employer in the payroll chain).. That is not what a 'tip' is.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm getting tired of being asked to tip before I've even received any service.
More and more restaurants are putting tip suggestions front and center before the meal even starts. I've seen places suggest turning a $120 dinner into $144 before a server has taken an order, refilled a drink, or brought out the food.
Then, if you question it, you're hit with:
**"If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out."**
But that's not really the issue.
Most people aren't against servers. Most people believe workers deserve to be paid fairly.
What frustrates people is the growing expectation that customers should be responsible for making up the difference between what employees earn and what they need to live.
Shouldn't businesses be responsible for paying their employees rather than relying on customers to subsidize payroll every time they sit down for a meal?
@TWrodbrochen@EshaAA33 Most people are well aware of that, but choose to ignore it so that they can keep being mad at him and demanding he use his money how they think he should.
Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, Elon Musk has now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?
@EshaAA33 He's created a ton of jobs through his ventures, and he doesn't have that sort of money on hand. Like most people, his wealth is based on current value of his investments/assets.
He gives more than most people to good causes, and also has paid the most tax in US history. 🤷♀️
@ImMeme0 She can't record while on the job.
I worked security at a few concerts. You cannot use your phone - and you certainly are not supposed to be recording videos.
Some fans of Morgan Wallen are criticizing his actions during a concert in Pittsburgh after he was seen grabbing a phone from a security guard that had been handed to her by a fan to record the show and tossing it across the stage.
Others are defending him, pointing out that security personnel are generally not allowed to record videos or take photos while on duty.
Was Wallen justified in enforcing the rules, or did he go too far?
