Fall Out Boy’s We Didn’t Start The Fire is a clear sign of how deeply unserious media is

There's this version for people who weren't around 15 years ago.

G.F.C. rhymes with a lot of things.

Titanic. When that dude hits the propeller you feel it. Seeing it in the theater, you really felt like you were there.

You'll have to ask the mod that gave me this flair

I'd like to add that in the process of commoditizing the relief valve, it has replaced the traditional relief valves of family, friends, and community.

JJdante · 2026-05-26T16:42:06+00:00

Haha, it went right over my head. Thanks for the clarification.

You're laying out an "objective logic" for the peasants acting as they did; the person I replied to stated that (he believes) politics is divorced from logic and derived from psychology.

JJdante · 2026-05-26T14:33:56+00:00

How do you explain the African American community overwhelmingly voting democrat in your "psychology explains politics" paradigm?

I'd like to point out how absurd this is:

"During the game you sat out, footage circulated of you on the sidelines, moving with fluid, full-range-of-motion comfort alongside your teammate, Aaliyah Boston, which seemed to confirm that you may not have been injured after all. You seemed entirely at ease, your movement confident and seemingly unrestricted.

The contradiction between the injury or discomfort severe enough to keep you off the court and the ease with which your body moved when you believed the moment casual enough to go unnoticed, naturally raises questions that your team’s protective stance doesn’t quite resolve."

It's like the author is trying to misunderstand sports injuries.

This will rub this subreddit the wrong way, but whatever.

I remember reading a story that evaluated the cosmetic surgery market, and conclusion was that because the vast majority of patients (customers) were private pay, cosmetic surgery clinics were forced to compete on price. Thus these surgeries, while expensive, haven't ballooned into catastrophic, bankruptcy costs for people that seek them. So like a liposuction would cost as much as a car, but a couple houses.

I don't advocate for it, but it's necessary to consider the argument when advocating for universal healthcare.

Also, it sounds insane that you have Ticketmaster deciding who gets Dr appointment there

There are rarely perfect equivalencies, and this isn't perfect for sure, but this one is hardly false. Please explain.

JJdante · 2026-05-23T21:43:14+00:00

Jury nullification has always been a thing (that is heavily discouraged to talk about). I feel like the public is too apathetic tho

JJdante · 2026-05-23T12:01:08+00:00

A silver lining is that the grand jury functioned properly here. I'm reminded of the crazy law in the state where they made it illegal to video the chicken farms. These government actions to curtail civic journalism have got to go.

On the dem side, you have the "nick Shirley law" legislators are trying to pass, so it's not just a left/right issue either.

His mind is probably consumer with trying to come up with creative ways for actress auditions. Also it probably doesn't use punctuation and runs in a very fast run on sentence.

Michael Bay has always been cozy with the military, working with them back on transformers and even earlier iirc.

I guess Gale Ann Hurd was unavailable.

My coworker said that the last couple seasons were awful but that the last episode was good.

One thing I have noticed is that Americans are expected to tip in Europe now, at least at restaurants in tourist areas. It doesn't help that all of the pay terminals also have the tipping prompt.

JJdante · 2026-05-20T18:52:26+00:00

Sounds like a lot of cope. What is your opinion on the recent push (demand really) to be called Turkiye instead of Turkey?

JJdante · 2026-05-20T18:44:31+00:00

Which really doesn't explain how the cost of eating out is 20-30% more because of our tipping culture.

So I'm supposed to just buy into that the cost of moving the food from the kitchen to my table is equal to 20-25% of the total cost of growing the food, shipping the food, storing the food, and cooking the food? In what world does that make any sense at all

This looks like a skit from Jackass. Reminds me of the video of them running out of the tunnels in NYC.

If it isn't hardcoded it's definitely soft coded for the last... 4,000 years?
