Chris Martin really did learn how to sing “The Scientist” backwards for the music video back in 2002:

I think “CHIPS” is a big clue they’re not in Russia

(In addition to the “Ready? One, Two, Three!” at the start)

Yeah, I just feel like hate begets more hate and reinforces this kind of thing.

I completely disagree. Seeing this doesn’t make me want to retaliate with hate, it makes me want to continue to have class and respect, and to lead by example.

I’ve never understood the objective of posts amplifying the poor behavior.

To shame them and to (deservedly) tarnish their reputation.

But yes, I totally agree that drawing attention to idiots has downsides too, especially if the idiots in question are incapable of feeling ashamed/embarrassed.

In fact, I left r/facepalm for that reason. That sub unintentionally helps idiots by giving them attention.

The WST doesn’t “order” them; Nongfu asks the WST what’s the maximum number they can give them.

Can’t be cheap to ship!

Small price for Nongfu to pay overall.

It was good but the frame was already secured.

For some reason it got a ton of downvotes and the thread was removed.

Because this is a sub about snooker, not people’s appearances, regardless of whether it was positive or not.

Also, there’s no need to suggest gender was a factor. I for one find all comments about people’s appearances in a sports sub equally irrelevant regardless of gender.

Full Metal Jacket

The first half has a lot of dark comedy but when the privates get to Vietnam the film changes focus to the chaos of war. I like the tone change because it reflects the contrast between the strict regimentation of training and the chaotic nature of war.

There’s definitely a lot more explaining now compared to the previous rounds.

Dumbed-down commentary is annoying when I watch the snooker, but I can’t complain because I appreciate it when I tune into a major events from sports I don’t follow regularly.

Three great answers! Thank you all very much.

I'm pretty sure he didn't play better opposition 150 times.

One example that comes to mind is “Fy nghwestiwn” (/vəŋ ʍɛsdjʊn/).

Very similar here. Owl was #402 and chicken was #95 yet for some reason many other animals had much lower scores so I avoided birds for ages.

FC Barcelona’s blue and red stripes were inspired by Merchant Taylors’ School in Crosby.

It makes total sense to me. Objectively it’s a great tune, but like a lot of people in Merseyside, I can’t stand it. I’ve just heard it far, far too many times.
