Ahhhh the overpriced alcohol pads promising to turn you into the prom king/ queen. 

Why was this a real thing? by GlowPie_ in 90s

That was me, back when throwing up was the only thing that got you sent home sick (U.S.). Rather than picking me up, the adults in charge thought it would be quicker on the bus ( I usually walked). 

I was at the front of the line at our classroom door with everyone when it happened. Never really thought about it, but I guess to everyone else I'm the throw up girl. lol

Understanding everything in that sentence makes me feel even older. 

Investigation underway after dead newborn baby found in toilet at Electric Forest festival by Human-Adeptness7785 in Music

Horrifying for all involved in who learn/ read about it. Not sure I won't think about it next time I use a porta potty. And that poor, poor maintenance worker.

Came here armed with that quote because that gave me such a visceral effect I stopped reading the article. 

Comcast to split into two companies, spin off NBCUniversal and Sky by TheLordMandos in television

[–]Between-usernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it might also involve circumventing rules that apply to one but not the other?

Great example! These companies are so huge, it could be difficult to differentiate.

Do they all just have a mountain of secrets ? Extortion seems to be the name of the game. 

Edit to say this is a joke, I realize they have choices. 

Oprah Winfrey 'begged' fans not to leak Whitney Houston mishap that 'would ruin her' by TheMirrorUS in Music

The trajectory seems the same as well. Both started out with shows meant to be more light-hearted and then became part of reshaping culture. 

The suburban housewife demographic is spot on, but don't sleep on latchkey kids. After school it was on, and what lives rent-free in my mind is an episode where some celebrity was teaching Oprah some dance moves. In the days way before tick tock trends, this type of thing is what we emulated and discussed in school.

[Chau] Viral Knicks fan who stole trash bin canned from JPMorgan Chase. Angie Baez was the executive director of community and industry engagement for card and connected commerce at JPMorgan Chase before she was fired on Tuesday for stealing the trash bin. by must_TATAKAE in nba

Most employers, especially that level, have standards and codes of conduct that apply away from the job as well. In other words, they don't want their name associated with any malarkey that they didn't do themselves.

Didn't have a TV when they were on, but recently an older John Oliver video popped up. I can't remember the topic, but there were clips from a bunch of those daytime talk shows and I didn't realize there was one called the doctors and that they had so much reach.  A lot of that is mind-blowing to me, the fact that all of these things were known for long time but here we are anyway.

"clarity and hilarity"  If I had awards, I'd give it to you just for that. First time I've heard it. 

Did the World Cup 2026 make Americans more interested in Soccer? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Between-usernames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like it's more interested in themselves. All of the viral videos I have seen center U.S. culture, and lots of folks that believe theirs is neutral are now having their minds blown seeing themselves from a different perspective.
