I like the “gen” concepts for describing cohort behavior/conditions, but there’s this new tiktok thing now like “alright mother effers it’s time for gen x to rise up against the gen z nonsense!” thats opened whole new ground for “peaked in highschool” people to engage with besides HS football

You learned at some point that “smol bean” is a thing you can say to make people chuckle, but you didn’t learn what it means or when it applies or how to use it.

Cant believe this is still up

Seems like an easy win in the current moment to opt out of handing power to someone who is ontologically either stupid or a nazi

Is there a CompUSA in the delta quadrant?

Looks like the irish tourism board did help out a bit in the 90s, but it’s a self sustaining phenomenon. This company will design you a full irish pub to parachute into your town, and looks like they designed some I’ve seen and been fooled by https://irishpubcompany.com/restaurant-and-bar-designs/

I’ve heard that americans who do a lot of world travel learn that when they get homesick to look for an irish pub, because there’s always at least one and they’ll have foods that are close enough to american. Not sure if ireland pushed for that global pub grid or if it happened on its own

Though it was always based on a predatory subscription model, between the tapes and books Time-Life offered a stream of interest-tailored content you couldn’t get anywhere before the internet. You could subscribe to tapes of random old SNL episodes for instance well before comedy central reruns

US sending troops to saudi arabia in 1990 took roughly 11 and 3/4 years before americans felt significant blowback but it was pretty significant if I remember right

Cliche dispenser, new excuse every time you push the button!

Looks like a wall of unpainted figurines at one of those places where you all paint ceramics at a kids birthday

The thin boo hoo hoo line

Rob Evans How is anyone surprised by this mans irresponsible actions he is unqualified and he is a loser David No one is surprised. Disgusted? Sure. Rob Evans As my buddy would say his a baboon

Was going through and muting everyone replying “you’re surprised?” for future sanity but not sure how to handle this one. As his buddy would say, his a baboon.

Computer Scientist here. Basically, there was a blob and it failed to load.

And he engages in 2018 twitter era quote tweeting behavior

That just makes it weirder man

Dislike of seeing reckless car based deaths downplayed as oopsie doopsies

I think society treats all “I’m not even cold” Shorts In Winter Guys the same when there’s really two versions, a Gentle Giant version and a Just A Stubborn Asshole version. Normally we stop seeing these guys after high school so we don’t need to know the difference

Perverse kind of self soothing going on in that thread. Almost an anticipation that some day they’ll have to scrape a body from their grille and they’ll want to be sure nobody frowns at them when it happens.

99% of Babylon, then every movie ever made, then the end credits of Babylon

Just like unexplained fires at failing small businesses, they’re clustered up at about the interval it would take to hear about the last one and realize it works

being seen on tv daily with his sleeves rolled up during covid is why I think so many people formed dead-ender emotional connections with cuomo as well, it’s weird when they can’t see that

teenage ella: I would never sell out and become the governor of the state I was born in!

😳 Is this on a with-ads plan?

Did someone employ you to be the most annoying little bastard possible in this entire thread or did you volunteer?

Picturing a version of the “cant wait to see what snl does with this” guy who’s like “cant wait to see what squarespace’s super bowl commercial does with this”

My friend made out okay when the company was bought by groupon but the taxes on the stock options were brutal
