@darkpixel2k @DB56522 @bconn73 @MyLordBebo Ah sovereign citizen type nonsense. I look forward to seeing you eventually on either Sergeant Curtis or Midwest Safety in the future.

@DB56522 @bconn73 @MyLordBebo Do magic pieces of paper that the government issues protect you from harm?

🇺🇸 Cop stops a car, which flips, and a baby runs out. The cop snaps and screams at the mum, “You ran a from me, you nearly killed your kid … that’s the stupidest thing you’ve done in your life.”

@escapefrommelos Lebanese and Iranian women are typically the most beautiful women out of the Middle East.

people posting 50-year old Salma Hayek as an example or “Latinas Aging Gracefully” is incredibly funny when you know her actual ethnic background is 50% Lebanese and 50% Spanish

@JustinBrannan Holy shit I forgot about Pepsi Twist

Man those early aughts were a vibe

@Oldglorycries Isn’t this the dude who churns out articles for the SL where it’s literally a list of best X restaurants according to Yelp?

People historically always differentiated this, but when the true elitists started moving in from Brooklyn, they wanted to pretend to blend in and stopped calling it Upper Montclair. This changed right around 2012 when Jeremy was born.

@scotchscotchzz I’m a Makita guy. Am I good?

I witnessed a man at Home Depot go down a dark path. This choice will lead to a broken home, a promiscuous wife, gay children, and unfinished projects while drinking seltzers. If you don’t take your tools seriously you don’t take your life seriously.

@priyasamagod @potatoslav @WhiteWinter3 Follow our cultural norms/customs when visiting or GTFO. Europoors and third world trash say that all the time when Americans visit them, but you can’t be bothered to do it when you visit us.

@devils1726 @potatoslav @WhiteWinter3 The definition of a word in the English language doesn't change just coz you cross an ocean. A tip is optional by definition.

it’s very funny to see all the people screaming “just pay a living wage!” in the comments bc… that’s what this is for? Americans already tip around this much. you were the ones that were going to go to a foreign country and not follow the cultural norm. tipping culture is not going to be “solved” by tourists refusing to tip, you’re just being an asshole.

Norm was a genius

@markgurman So existing card holders can just eat shit, eh?

Apple is planing a pretty big Apple Card sign-up incentive for as early as next week in retail stores: if you sign up for a new card, buy AirPods Pro 3, then you'll get $249 cash back. In other words, if you get an Apple Card, you get free AirPods.

@priyasamagod @potatoslav @WhiteWinter3 lol that’s not how things work in the US, Dalit.

@devils1726 @potatoslav @WhiteWinter3 It's neither evil nor cheap. It's just normal. Tips are optional. For extra special service. Mostly given at places you are a "regular".

Most appreciation of "great art" is a performance. People are very, very susceptible to "if you didn't appreciate it, it went over your head". Whether that something is a $100K bottle of wine that tastes like Two-Buck Chuck, improvisational jazz that sounds like someone turned on an orchestra and walked away, or the... unique... style of David Foster Wallace doesn't make much of a difference. These sorts of "refined" tastes are actually just unusual tastes. They are in the same category as really, really liking model trains, or birdwatching. Except people who like birdwatching don't run elaborate psyops to convince everyone that birdwatchers are intellectually superior and more sophisticated. They just buy expensive binoculars and get on with doing what they like to do. But some people with niche tastes in art seem to need to proselytize them to others. And a lot of weak-willed people go along with it. They wouldn't want to look dumb, now would they? Well, I don't go for that. I think that the greatest obstacle to learning is the fear of looking stupid. And I'm particularly not impressed by things that have a reputation as "great literature", but are dull and opaque to the average reader. Writing is my thing, see, and that means I have an easy time remembering that the purpose of writing is to communicate. Not everything is going to appeal to 100% of everyone, but if your writing is opaque or boring to all but a few, you cannot, by definition, be a great writer, because you just failed the basics of craftsmanship. Great woodworkers don't make sturdy furniture that's rough on the surface and full of splinters. They make chairs that are not only durable, but comfortable AND beautiful. Because if they are great, they can do all these things at once. If a book is boring, I set it down, instead of pretending that I had a hands-free orgasm because I am so super-duper-uber sophisticated that I can read the hidden messages in gibberish. Maybe there are hidden messages. Maybe I'm smart enough to see them if I bothered to look. But I don't. Because I don't care about any hidden message from a man too unskilled to wrap his message in an interesting story, or too contemptuous of his audience to try. So, no, I don't dislike Monet, I might even hang a print of something he did on my wall. But it's not a big deal to me, and not only can I probably not tell the difference between Monet and a good enough AI imitation, I don't even care enough to try. Which is an approach I highly recommend to others, unless they need to tape a banana to a wall for tax purposes.

@potatoslav @WhiteWinter3 In my interactions with foreigners is that they do this because they are outright evil and cheap.

@WhiteWinter3 ok and not tipping while you’re on vacation is going to “fix” it?

@JDOTCOLOMBO @Hotshot_Movie @spencerpratt @firagawalkwthme You all can’t even tell the difference between a real Monet and AI🤣😂🤣😂

@Hotshot_Movie @spencerpratt @firagawalkwthme Oh photoshop an algorithm someone else coded. Please hire real artists to hand paint his next billboard, AI is killing the arts

Really brilliant campaign strategy to advertise with AI ads in a town experiencing a massive shortage in entertainment jobs

RIP, Clarence Carter. In 2023, Billboard ranked ‘Strokin’’ (1986) at #79 on its list of ‘The 100 Best Pop Songs Never to Hit the Hot 💯’, a track simply too filthy for radio to touch.

@Jediwolf @SHL0MS Just further provides my belief for years that most people who are “really into” art are just full of shit.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

@heyitst0m @JLMinNYC @RolyPolyFish @devahaz She is absolutely too retarded to understand your point

@JLMinNYC @RolyPolyFish @devahaz The loan guarantees meant that students could go to school no matter the tuition, and schools started jacking up the price

Terrible people love bringing this up as if they are paying for it. A private nonprofit decides to give free tickets to poor people, students, etc and this makes you angry why exactly? It hurts you how?

@RetroTechDreams RattlerRace was very underrated. The only people I know who actually played and enjoyed FreeCell were psychopaths.

Windows Entertainment Pack. Which one's your favorite?

@Birdyword Most countries, do to either size or economic factors, are just more heavily urbanized. In my travels, outside of Canada, I can’t think of other country I’ve been in that has a sizeable portion of their population in what can be called suburbs.

The fact that there are only 12 cities with a population of more than a million people in a country the size of the US is endlessly fascinating

@onlysmart1here @uncledoomer In my personal experience, the $50 made in the USA wrench will last the rest of my life. I’d be lucky to get 5 years from the $20 one made in China.

@uncledoomer So, equivalent quality, you’d buy a $50 wrench made in the US vs a $20 one made in China?

we shipped these jobs overseas so that baby boomers could buy cheaper plastic bullshit

@JMC9787 Why anyone takes Biz’s word is beyond me. He called the Devils a wagon after 2 weeks this season and they missed the playoffs.

Yes, because Biz has a track record of always being right lol. It’s also funny how Luke is often left out of these conversations. Luke is a Devil for six more years. Quinn would be 33 then.
