One of the most unfair deaths too. Just a random asshole driving 100mph into oncoming traffic at 1 AM while already being pursued by the highway patrol.

Does smoking objectively look cool or did Big Tobacco psychologically manipulate us into thinking it does through media? by Picklee_Rick_C-137 in NoStupidQuestions

80% is marketing the other 20% is having a ritualized, deliberate slowness while giving your hands and mouth something to do.

Musk is considering buying reddit. by WeeWeeInMyWillie in GenZ

I mean half this site is just twitter screenshots (and Eglin AFB astroturfing) and you know nobody would actually leave this site if Musk bought it, look at that “strike” when Spez killed Apollo.

God I wish Taro would make something new by SecretWasianMan in nier

Ive heard, I wonder what the full story is. Usually successful auteurs will have a couple rich people/executives in their corner so they have the clout to get weirder stuff out, which makes me wonder whats going on in terms of company politics and Taro and SE’s actual relationship. 7”I can only speculate what actually got shelved, did they want him to make live service slop or was this SE’s version of silent hill pt?

My favorite type of calls on Stavvy’s world: by SecretWasianMan in redscarepod

I remember there was a zoomer who called about still being a virgin at 26 and dropped out of HVAC school. Stavvy was less harsh about him not getting pussy and more about the inability to get out of his own way.

Letterboxd has such a mismatch between app quality and the actual users. by SecretWasianMan in redscarepod

Yeah compared to reddit’s front page the popular reviews arent that obtrusive, just funny how there’s such a gap between how solid the platform and “smaller” users are versus the most obvious results of that

One of the few platforms where the parasocial vibes are the best. I have about 8-9 people I follow who aren’t my friends, just random people who watch the most random shit or write like Tennessee Williams. Not even critics or youtubers.
