“Bing bing bong bong bing bing.”

The weave, everybody!

Maybe if someone had praised him 75 years ago for tinkling in the golden toilet like a big boy we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Casual form of -i adjectives is just the adjective alone. So you can say いいです (polite) or just いい (casual), but not いいだ

Also Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands

The existentialists didn’t agree on much, but they all saw absurdity in existence. Is pushing a rock up a hill any more or less absurd than a 9-5 paper pushing job?

Yep-- apple didn’t want Jon to talk about China (and maybe a couple of other things) on the show they were paying him for. He left, started a new show (slash podcast), and got back on the Daily Show.

Do you know any kids? I haven’t seen anyone filming a dance to upload, but I’ve seen kids mimicking fortnite dances just for the hell of it. They were gen alpha though.

Dang, I was hoping you had another word like kilometrage

I theorize that it has a lot to do with rich people. There’s more wealth inequality than ever before, or at least (because I’m not well versed in history) if billionaires are maybe roughly equivalent to some kings of yore, that those kings couldn’t have the same widespread impact in old times because of modern mass communication. Billionaires skew overwhelmingly amoral, so this increased global reach is allowing them to shape and skew things in amoral directions, which includes propping up power hungry leaders to do their bidding. This is especially true because the communication channels are controlled by other wealthy people who benefit from the system, so they have a vested interest in seeing that the algorithms continue to support the owner class.

Even savvy leaders like Putin can’t do it alone and alienate the oligarchs (see this CGP Grey video on “rules for rulers” as to why), but beyond that it’s easy to see why weak idiots like trump are simple enough to puppet with money and flattery.

I wonder if gas efficiency is still called mileage

I think they have to change names to something lame when they become pope. The current guy is named Jorge Mario Bergoglio but goes by Francis.

Judge Gregory Carro ordered him to remain handcuffed, calling it a security measure.

Oh yeah, any second now he’ll pull out his ass gun he’s been hiding for months in prison and go hog wild. This guy doesn’t have a chance at a fair trial.
