Americans reject most of that garbage from the 1950s-1970s.

Where British people are jolly excited over bread on bread sandwich

Theres literally documentaries from 2010 about manufacturers who make a "Walmart version" because Walmart demands these factories make them at a specific price.

Like in one documentary, the same toaster from Target and Walmart, the Walmart one had different cheaper parts inside. TVs, furniture, lamps. Even the plastic storage containers like totes and Tupperware had "Walmart" versions that were real flimsy.

People are sharing content from there to other places too.

I saw that shit on LinkedIn.

I do this at work, because people gloss over details on really IMO emails that can affect them.

But I say exactly what it is.

Like in Slack, I go "Woah number 6 really said that our healthcare will now be decided by a d20". And then watch the conversation unravel.

I prefer "til" myself

spend money to generate quality LLM output, they can post as much as they want on virtually all social media sites.

$20 for a chatgpt pro account and fractions of pennies to run a bot server. It's really extremely cheap to do this.

I don't have an answer to how to solve the "motivated actor" beyond mass tagging/community effort.

NGL, that's a good looking meme setup.

Would be a shame if someone happen to put words like Luigi or healthcare CEO. Not saying what order though.

Almost every sit-down chain restaurant in my state closed down/failing because of quality issues or local competition. Chili's, Red Lobster, Long John Silvers, Applebee's...

It was HUGE local news during the pandemic with franchises begging people to "Support their local Chili's" and everyone laughed. Then one really loud owner bought lots of local ads that we don't deserve it and the locals dunk on them.

As of last month, another chain restaurant faded away, while more local restaurants popped up.

Nature is healing.

A coworker said this to me. We were at a Chinese Restaurant. They were adamant on someone else ordering for them.

I ordered them the Cheese Burger and french fries.

They chickened out and picked a real order.

that then the person you're with suggests fucking Long John Silvers.

Shit. I am that guy.

I say the worst possible ideas out of my head for laughs.

One time, I said PF Chang's AS A JOKE. And everyone politely agreed and we went to PF Fucking Chang's and it was the grossest Chinese food I ever ate. I FAFO myself.

This happened yesterday! As a Christmas gift, I got a book of Sunday comics.

As a group, from boomers to my under-10yo kids, we skimmed through it. The kids laughed at the weird abstract ones. I loved the ones with wordplay. My neighbor in her 60s laughed at the husband/wife joke.

Found it really fascinating how no comic made everyone laugh at the same time.

The one everyone agreed was a good comic, I'm even though it wasn't funny, was the "peeing in the pool" comic. Relatable brings us all together.

Give me that FAFO Santa.

 
 

PORTAGE COUNTY, Ohio — Portage County's sheriff appeared to call for residents to record the addresses of residents who publicly display support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Sheriff Bruce D. Zuchowski, who took office in 2021, made the remarks in Facebook posts shared to two separate accounts on the night of Sept. 13.

"When people ask me...What's gonna happen if the Flip - Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say...write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo...when the Illegal human "Locust" (which she supports!) Need places to live...We'll already have the addresses of the their New families...who supported their arrival!" Zuchowski wrote.

 

Tune in on October 19.

As the narrator for Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, Lenval Brown recorded 350,000 words of dialogue. His warm, crackling tone is one you'll associate with Disco Elysium forever after playing it, though he's also popped up elsewhere—like in retro shooter Ultrakill, city builder Republic of Pirates, and as the host of our own documentary series, Tales from the Hard Drive.

The customer became “agitated and verbally abusive” toward employees at a Waffle House in Laurinburg, North Carolina, on Friday night, according to a police statement posted on Facebook.

After the customer was given his food, he started walking toward his car, before turning around and firing two shots, police said.

 

Context: they got real upset after the Trump shooting.

Now they're fully masks off.
