@AguitaVu @thekonyjen Someone was saying Klay is on par with Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of global fame, I am bemused

@thekonyjen Girl, there are people comparing Klay to Lionel Messi they have completely lost their minds.
English
i knew basketball fans were delusional when they swore up and down that the sport was more popular than football lmao idek why i’m debating with anyone rn
English
@amazonmilkfrog I used to write my assignments in a different program that let me put all my research in a mind map and do all the writing in tabbed headings that you could rearrange, then copy and paste my whole paper into Word to format it, so they would see doc history start 20 min prior lol
English
teachers requiring you to submit your assignments as google docs so they can look through the edit history and tell you didn't use ai is killing the "do it at the last minute" crowd.

@WatsDaMotto @ZezeMillz And (no offence to Klay) he is conventionally attractive enough to get the type of brand deals and entertainment news coverage outside of sports related stuff that gives him more reach to non-sports fans. He’s talked about in pop culture in a way that most NBA stars are not.
English
@WatsDaMotto @ZezeMillz I don’t think Cristiano Ronaldo is a good comparison tbh, football has a much higher global reach than basketball (esp leagues he played in vs NBA), he is vastly higher paid throughout his career (lots of news stories for the most expensive transfer in history etc)
English
You’ve kinda proven her/their point tho. Real housewives is POPULAR CULTURE. Sports is not bigger than popular culture. It’s huge but it’s not consumed by ALL (especially basketball). Put Nene Leaks in Westfield and she’d get more attention than most basketball players.
Scully@isthatscully
People who don’t know Sports need to stop saying someone isn’t famous because they don’t know sports. I don’t watch Real Housewives but I still know most of the women on that show are famous, & none of them are bigger than an NBA player.

@viktoh_xxl @TreaTrea1 @thekonyjen I can’t speak for every country but her music is certainly well known here, if I asked my 70 year old mum she would know who she is

unless you’re into basketball or live in north america, there’s no way to recognize klay thompson in a crowd, i just found out what he looked like last year 👍🏾
hot girl zo@zxsmithh
Alright I hate when women make me agree with men because ain’t no way yall trynna tell me no one knew Klay Thompson before Meg Thee Stallion, enough!
English
@viktoh_xxl @TreaTrea1 @thekonyjen Like basketball results aren’t included in the regular news round up on tv like football scores, NBA games if they’re broadcast at all are usually only available on an expensive cable plan so you’re not going to come across a game randomly, you have to purposefully seek it out
English
@viktoh_xxl @TreaTrea1 @thekonyjen Music is a lot more ubiquitous than sports knowledge though, like even if you don’t give af about a popular artist you hear them on the radio, on tv, in adverts, like music is everywhere. Unless you’re in the US where NBA is a big institution you’ll only see stuff if you seek it
English
@thekonyjen I literally heard about him two days ago when Meg posted their break up and twitter started this discourse lmfao
English
@notmyprobz I’m not justifying or arguing anything, just correcting your obvious misinterpretation of what was actually written.
English
Is this supposed to justify using the murder of children as a joke?
Eleanor Skye@EleanorSkye
@notmyprobz @cezthesocialist No, they think jokes reducing colonialism (global system of violent conquest, genocide, slavery) to spices for bland food are worse than jokes about school shootings. Read.

English
@cezthesocialist You think your lack of spices is worse than children being murdered in schools. Wow. Well, no one’s ever accused you of being smart, so. Yall are the ones who started this discourse and have been proven wrong and instead of admitting your wrong it always somehow leads back to-

American projection is even more baffling than American exceptionalism because that is literally what they are doing here. Carbonated lemonade and other drinks are just as old if not older than their country 😭😭

@madisontayt_ Why do British people so frequently act like their way of doing things is the 1 objectively correct way of doing things.

@anthony_ravi0li @c3lery_ @DukeOfZamunda Well imagine how anxious and depressed you might feel when you’re sentenced to death for having weed in a country that strictly bans it.
English
@c3lery_ @DukeOfZamunda Many people use weed to self-medicate for anxiety, depression, ADHD
English
Sometimes i wonder if “just dont smoke for a week” ever occurs as an option
𝕾𝖊𝖓𝖘𝖎🍉@Heauxno1currr
Getting weed in Bali is never, ever, ever, EVER worth it you guys. I am saying this as someone who smokes when I travel. Know your laws. It is punishable by death, and often times those “locals” are just cops that will set you up and once you buy you’re arrested.
English
@snow_goons @tautologer Well no. It’s a blind simultaneous vote, you don’t know anyone else’s vote ahead of time. There is no such thing as a deciding vote in this scenario, every single vote is equally responsible as a deciding vote.
English
@tautologer there is exactly one scenario where me pressing red results in more deaths than pressing blue, when i am the deciding vote, which is impossibly unlikely. in every single other scenario, me pressing red results in at least as few total deaths as if i had pressed blue.
English
red is only a dominant strategy if you place zero value on other people dying
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@LostSnow_Rin @LoppyRae Nah these people are just foolish, our ticks are full of Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis etc., any sensible European wants to avoid them too
English
Saw a post a while back of British folks teasing Americans for being afraid of ticks and it made me realize they don’t have lone star ticks out there…
My mom got bit by one and now she’s can’t eat meat or dairy ever again. Like ticks are crazy scary out here actually.

@hellodonavon @questionableway I once let my veggie friend eat a portion of my dinner and had this realisation when they were halfway through the bowl 🫣😭 she was veg for health reasons not moral objection, and fortunately she didn’t get sick from it so not as bad as it could’ve been but I still felt so baddd
English
@questionableway I fucked up in a similar fashion during my stint as a vegetarian when I found out what was in worcestershire sauce.

@Irmenberga @wynavira Bro every time I use that my hands dry out so much they crack. It gets the grease off but at what cost 😭

@Ashla2043648 @ShiteUseless @Frrrrrrrrrog @MothNoises Totally, I remember going with a friend to get white foundation from a shop in the west end that sold stage makeup, but outside of a major city theatre district it just wasn’t available
English
@ShiteUseless @Frrrrrrrrrog @MothNoises Yeah, I'd be surprised if things like black lipstick and white *foundation* (not bad face paint) were available to everyday folk, especially outside of Halloween.
English
I always thought the TikTok « tradgoth » makeup had something that made it look very modern, very 2020s, and I’ve found what it is.
It’s the nose. People are adding the rhinoplasty egirl nose contouring element to the original recipe
English
@FayFarabi @taeyeonsswifey @MothNoises Yes, I wasn’t even goth just alt leaning at most but I remember having to stock up on black nail polish and lipstick at Halloween and hoard it for the year because it wasn’t sold anywhere
English
@taeyeonsswifey @MothNoises People also have access to better quality makeup. Back in the day you had to use Halloween or clown face paint and the same black eyeliner for you whole face. If you got lucky you could get stage makeup.
Nowadays there’s a a whole plethora or good-quality options

@JamenB60132 @JoelPoston95332 @ezats1899 @AliAtes623691 @ajlamesa You’re talking about levels of knife crime, it’s measured per capita and the total number of people is irrelevant. This is basic knowledge I fear.
English
@EleanorSkye @JoelPoston95332 @ezats1899 @AliAtes623691 @ajlamesa Do you see a per capita in this conversation?
English
Europe has significantly less violent crime than the United States. Large countries like Germany, Spain, and Italy have homicide rates only a little bit higher than Japan’s. This is a bizarre lie.
