Bring back r/european. The good ol' days when Reddit allowed reverse cultural enrichment.
A head of state that enthusiastically dunks on phony policy over feeding the gossip reel, or "narrative building" (Bukele has intrinsic accomplishments instead), is such a rarity in developed civilization.
Ultramarathons. Men still preform better, but some of the world records are held by women.
To be paired with the common leftist's obsession with pee and poop.
One of the plausible hypotheses floating around was that some women were capable of persistence hunting. The gap between the sexes is smaller in endurance sports, for whatever that's worth.
A web search however proves that self-identified feminists are dumb and dishonest, and that the s/n ratio of the modern web is abysmal.
Someone didn't listen to Saint Paul of Texas back in the day. There's a difference between free trade and "free trade" which only large corporations and middle-men are permitted to participate.
If liability can't be waived with clear textual or verbal warnings in English affirmed by customer, sure I'd agree. But "hot" isn't a reasonably unambiguous qualifier for scalding coffee served at a nationwide chain drive through.
McDonald's hot coffee? That suit was very low on the frivolity scale. The coffee burned through a thin layer of clothing and left third-degree burns around the lady's groin. She requested only that medical expenses be covered and the corporation was sniffing too far up it's own ass to settle.
Perfect example of why far/extreme is deleterious (what a pretentious word, but it works here) manipulation of language. Deliberately conflates being principled; not swayed by societal noise, stupid games, and the status quo; with zealotry and deceptiveness.
Aside from this instance of establishment allergic reaction to integrity, leftism has infected South American society for far too long. Too much of the government and populace have a dependency mindset. The political structure has to be disrupted, then a self-sufficient mass of citizens have to form a responsible breakaway state to surpass 19th/early 20th century prosperity. Even if Javier pegs Argentina to the US dollar, that's not much of a win for Argentinians, neither does it inspire the international community of productive folk.
Hiding from the feds requires computing literacy, and and the median zoomer being unfamiliar with a heirarchial file system is a tragedy. However, I'm talking about smoking marijuana in the woods instead of the school parking lot, or obscuring personally identifying info in a "secret" WhatsApp group chat. Shit a Cold War spy could piece together.
Everytime I hear about a school engaging in bullshit I hope at least one of the students takes initiative to learn basic opsec by the time they graduate. Gotta anticipate how phony the adult world is before getting burned.
We've got to one-up .5KiA somehow.
"Performative pants". When the headline cringes just as hard as your publication's smug portraits on every article.
The 2nd game also butchered Galadriel, with the way she speaks to her handmaiden. Just as bad as millennia hopping non-wraith Celebrimbor, and way worse than sexy Shelob.
I do stand by the author's drawn out emphasis on her own exasperation being obnoxious. Roll a die and if it lands even, a random women you're watching on social media or talking to has a learned behavior of exaggerating emotive responses in lieu of an objective point.
Cause they don't qualify as comedians (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
I was too lazy to come up with a catchier, more particular title. Instead, I wanted to see who would think I was trying to soften offense as a habitual fence-sitter, rather than my intent of not rehashing a canned topic.
Yeah, the Seinfeld clip I posted wasn't the funniest, rather that it is directly comparable for being the same topic but with an attempted payoff. I hope anyone reading my post understands that I'm being specific with emotive filler as primary content being duller than the last 15 minutes of the school-day. I'm trying not to imply that comedy needs to have the expressive range of not-so-moistcritical.
When I hear speedrunners being socially challenged.
The original tweet behind the joke almost has a point if it dropped the "Petersonian" half ("Jungian" is the cooler term anyways), and shifted to common cause. That and broadened to include casuals who can't play games a right way if not nudged by the game's design (Doom Eternal being an example that compels varied gameplay), or min-maxers who can't appreciate the art or freeform aspects of a game.
Regulatory capture made grassroots campaigning much more expensive.
I'll start with the easy ones that are moderately anti-woke. Factorio(IIRC) and Rimworld (both one game studios) along with Kingdom Come (Warhorse Studios).
This breed of simp I find perplexingly human. Unlike the stereotypical pimply omega-male, they're charismatic, attractive, successful but too agreeable. Their life goal is to be approved by society and become good men instead of great men.
There was a clip going around the manosphere of some Bachelor knockoff. The man that jokes about mistreating the woman controls the room, and gets the girl's vote. The rest of the guys are acting like he fucked up, before the girl voted.
This approval seeking behavior persists past irrelevant modern distractions, and drags the whole species down.
Lbry and Brave were the only 2 corps I'm aware of rolling out their own coins that attempted something productive with their coin. I could find a few others if I spent an hour searching. I'm sad because Odysee was half way to the kind of content and presentation I wanted, which is c. 2007 Youtube. Rumble is some sort of divergent path for television 2.0 with partnership deals and the like. I hope Rumble remains viable as Youtube competition, but that's a very small yet ordinary slice of YT's audience
Brave Rewards doesn't go all the way in reforming the marketing industry, so you get irritating ads. Fixing that is a multi-trillion dollar problem. You also have to sign up for a KYC exchange, that's not Kraken, to fully utilize Brave's crypto offering. It will be very tragic for the intermediate user if Brave Inc. also suffers financial roadblocks.
It still stings that this was due to regulatory interference, and odysee didn't get a fair shake. Rumble might eventually pull a profit, but it's far less preferable than the former.
This was an American company trying to work within the law and attract some ordinary audiences along with the political refugees. Technology just isn't an easy solution, but it still has a part to play in upsetting the social cycle. My bet is against for-profit streaming, at the very least.
Casual single-issue libertarians... Proper libertarians have read a book on economics and care more about owning grenade launchers and controlled borders(more than just the federal boundaries) than the unconditional approval of meth fueled furry fucking.
