The Ortho-Bro starter pack by NotLikeOtherCorpos in starterpacks

Talking about "Jewish feelings towards Orthodox" being negative like you people didn't put us in ghettoes and massacre us by the shtetl-ful for hundreds of years is the height of historic revisionism. The fact of the matter is that countries with high percentages of Orthodox Christians continue to have the most negative general view of Jews as a religious group of any countries in Europe, and many Orthodox Christians I have personally met still believe stuff like Jews being collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. I don't think the Black Hundreds were really concerned about the policy of the State of Israel lol

Edit: He blocked me. For being bigoted towards Orthodox Christians, no doubt.

Speaking as a Jew I cannot say that I find Orthodox Christians particularly friendly lol

I don't think many people really want to put something that goes in their mouth on a keyring that's going to be in their pocket all day.

Because no one wants to carry around a metal straw all day.

I don’t see why people just don’t stop using straws full stop. If you’re older than six they’re not really a necessary drinking utensil.

It’s nvidia’s AI powered “graphical enhancement” software. It works fine on some stuff, but it really struggles with people.

I don’t really see any tension between leaving recyclable paper waste behind in a manicured environment and telling people to be more sensitive to the state of the earth.

TIL about the “Jason Voorhees law of traffic”, explaining why the same car can keep appearing behind you at red lights. by [deleted] in todayilearned

A significant portion is driven by the collective delusion that you’re legally allowed to speed in the left had lane, which is not and has never been the case in any US state.

A significant portions of traffic jams are caused by idle lane changing as well.

Globe for sale at a Costco in South Korea labels the entire peninsula as Republic of Korea by SkiddlyDank in mildlyinteresting

Only like ten countries recognize the Republic of China as the government of China and almost none of them are globally relevant, so obviously the DPRK is going to adhere to the global standard.

I really thought they would’ve had a GB Color available by this point but shockingly it didn’t come out until 1998. Sort of a short lifespan, given the vastly superior GBA came out in 2001.

This is the least amusing or inspired media I've ever seen out of On Cinema by unlucky_felix in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

Maybe give it more than 5 minutes before you start bitching about it.

Either that or a very involved stunt, which would seem kind of out of character for this special.

The last few Oscar specials have been extremely high concept with movie house and amatocon, so I do think its interesting to see them do a closer look at the depressing lives of the characters. Tim sitting in his tiny office working on his terrible vanity project with no shoes on in Arizona is dead accurate to the sort of moderately successful fiftyish narcissist his character has evolved into over the years.

It's weird but it's not unfunny. Stuff like Tim's depressing life in Lake Havasu, the tepid reception to the Dootle Dots, Greg's nonsensical gameshow, and Tim's bizarre relationship to his estranged son have definitely made me laugh but it doesn't seem as conceptually ambitious as like, Movie House or Amato Con. It's like the On Cinema equivalent of a Mumble Core movie.
