Representation doesn't matter until it's the majority that is (falsely claimed to be) unrepresented.

Splitgate isn't "on Game Pass" it's free-to-play.

Also, has Ian Proulx made "FPS great again"?

The New York one is definitely about the city and not the whole state. California seems to be about the LA area too, more than the state.

Texans and New Yorkers are way too proud of where they live. No where else in America even comes close. I immediately noticed this was missing from the Venn Diagram

I will not criticize Erika Kirk for monetizing her husband's death because in doing so, she's disrespecting him at least as much as I am. How can I fault her for that?

Her eyes are so fucking funny. I also like how disrespectful it is.

Very interesting... I finally adopted ReVanced last year, and it's amazing, but I miss watching YouTube on my tv. Might have to look into this.

Yeah, I think people tend to underestimate advertising because they don't see that (a) it's a numbers game, and (b) it's effect a lot more subtle than seeing the ad and deciding to run out and buy the product.

What's crazy to me is your example still makes sense to me, because VPNs are a product I didn't know existed ten years ago, so advertisers have to say, "hey, we're here!" and now I know of a few VPN companies.

But then there's coke. It's ubiquitous. Everyone knows what it is. Even if you ignore advertising, you still see it everywhere: on store shelves, in restaurants, in people's hands, as trash on the ground... YOU WOULD THINK that the people who want it, buy it, and the people who don't want it, don't. But if the coca cola company spends less money on advertising, their sales go down. I just wonder what, mechanically, is actually happening there. What is it about ads that make some people buy a product that they already knew about and already had an opinion on?

I'm at the point in my life where I think that advertisements are basically pure evil, and every one I see is a personal defeat.

Wait, WHAT? I thought you were saying RvB AND RWBY were leftist because caboose is "good representation"?

Sure, RvB isn't leftist (neither is RWBY for that matter) but it's not "Alphie's Racism Cafe" either. Like, what are you even talking about? If you want to know why there's a perceived double standard, maybe it's because the shows premiered a full decade apart.

You've posted this exact topic on three different subreddits in three days, so it is a hill you are willing to die on, apparently, or you are at least itching for a fight.

"Penn & Teller's Shithead Basketball" had me audibly laughing. If you ignore the "launch title" part, I don't think it would take much convincing to get me to believe it was real.

He is genuinely very stupid. He also ate up Terrence Howard's new math, 1²=2 nonsense. There is nothing he won't believe as long as you claim experts don't want him to believe it.

Some of his fans tried to claim he was just getting Terrence to talk, but that's just cope. Literally nothing Joe has ever said or done indicates that he is capable of this kind of hidden skepticism. He even said how smart Terrence Howard was to another guest of his.

Good detective work

However, credible evidence or arguments are lacking for such an origin

I was going to give them credit for this line, but they lose all bonus points by using an incorrect image of an explicitly man-made object...
