@WayneWaldropW The best comedians are much smarter than they let on. The worst are often the other way around....

All of these podcasters aren't able to cope with realizing that Theo Von has surpassed them in intelligence.
Sure Theo Von is a relatable and goofy guy, but he has genuinely put in the effort to learn from people and the information he gains from them.
Learning is a super power and the first step to achieve it is to be open minded and willing to learn.
Theo was able to achieve this by hearing people out and not taking himself too seriously.
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox
Theo Von runs into a wall of skepticism from Joe Rogan after he makes some bold claims about Gaza. THEO: “We had a doctor… and he was saying that there were like bullets that had gone down a child, like just crazy.” ROGAN: “Like shot down? Like from a drone that’s above him?” THEO: “Yes, like something in the air. And he said that there were drones in the air all day. There’s that Palantir company just keeping tabs on everything that was happening.” ROGAN: “Palantir is involved in Gaza?” THEO: “Palantir was involved in Gaza. Yeah.” ROGAN: “For sure?” THEO: “Mmmhmmm.” ROGAN: “[Jamie], put that into Perplexity.”

エイプリルフールに
「会社辞めました」って投稿したら
父から電話が来た。
昼休みだった。
冗談のつもりだった。
5分後に着信。
父だった。
「本当か。」
「嘘だよ。エイプリルフール。」
「本当に嘘か。」
「本当に嘘。」
少し沈黙があった。
「…そうか。」
声が少しだけ軽くなった。
「なんで安心してるの。」
「お前が、1人で決めたのかと思った。」
「そんなわけないじゃん。」
「でもお前、昔からそうだろ。」
「何が。」
「しんどいことほど、誰にも言わない。」
何も言えなかった。
「辞めるなら辞めるでいい。」
「でもな。」
「最初に言え。」
「何があっても。」
「相談じゃなくていい。」
「報告でいいから。」
少し間があった。
「…わかった。」
「約束できるか。」
「できる。」
「じゃあいい。」
電話が切れた。
ただの嘘のはずなのに、
妙に引っかかった。

家族の名前が翠（Misu）で、翠は翡翠という意味です。家族の名前をそのまま直訳してます
翡翠=JADE

@tagame Ideally, the US isn't one monolithic nation, it's 50+ states united together. Each has their own quirks and cultural distinctions. Being a state in the union means you are our brothers, not our subjects.
I know this is all in fun anyways but I get the concern haha

30年前くらいに村上春樹のエッセイで、アメリカではコーラにピーナッツを入れて飲むのがポピュラーだと書いてあった。「ふぅん」と思ってから長い時間が経ったが、ついにやってみた。 何だこれバカ美味いんでやんの。 これ以外でもうコーラ飲みたくなくなるレベル。

the one thing they got right in this whole tragedy is that there are definitely some people who need to get euthanized
Visegrád 24@visegrad24
Noelia Castillo Ramos was euthanised yesterday at around 6 p.m. local time at Hospital Residencia Sant Camil near Barcelona. In 2022, Noelia was placed in a state institution amid family difficulties. There, she was gang-raped by a group of North African migrants. The trauma broke Noelia. Months later, she attempted suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of a building. She survived the fall but was left paralysed. Instead of offering long-term support, the Spanish authorities offered assisted suicide as a solution. Yesterday, despite a large group of people showing up at the hospital to support her, Noelia sadly decided to end her life. Her rapists were never arrested and remain free men today. RIP Noelia. We will not forget you. 💔

It's incredible how tactless some people are, the chances of the old woman getting her way went from probably 50% to 0% with that second comment.

@SilverCyanide2 @Evvte @ShitpostRock2 Yeah all depends on the prescription. I can get basic lenses for $20, I'm just near-sighted. My mom, who had all sorts of serious eye complications, used to spend $700 on lenses until she got a v serious surgery
English
@Evvte @ShitpostRock2 My son's lenses come to around 400$ because he has multiple issues.
Mine are like 175$.
I am sure you could get them to go more expensive.

Question to people who wear glasses, do you really need to spend 1k on good glasses or is this literally just to flex?

@lazer_groove @ShitpostRock2 They cannot stand it fr. As if it's insane to not want to spend $150 minimum for a pair of glasses
English
@ShitpostRock2 Frames are a scam, especially at any glasses store. I get the lenses done (which are also stupid expensive) but bring the R$30 frame that I bought elsewhere.
The clerks get visibly upset
English
@ShitpostRock2 It's either just to flex or their insurance covers it somehow. Cuz I have prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses and paid $47 between both pairs

She got divorced, knowing what the consequences would be, and then she is unhappy with those consequences afterward.
I read a study a while back that said the majority of women are worse off and less happy post-divorce than they were pre-divorce.
Divorce is very bad for women. It is terrible for children. And it is not good for men either.
But that was the choice instead of working things out.
#ReclaimD1@ReclaimD1
Modern woman says she hates sharing her children with her baby daddy. Claims since she grew them in her stomach they’re her children and she should decide on where they can and can’t go. This mindset is exactly how parental alienation occurs. There’s no such thing as a deadbeat dad 👑
