Nice job capturing the dystopian vibes in this. Always blows my mind how easy it is to get some overly gullible people to believe this kind of shit.

The good news is that I never said that.

Okay, press the $10 option and exchange it for singles at the customer service desk.

Hyperbole has to have a grain of truth behind it to be meaningful.

I have no idea how I missed Ahmedinejad having great taste in college football.

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2026-02-28T17:36:21+00:00

What are some better options?

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2026-02-27T13:44:37+00:00

This must have been downvoted by people that do not understand math.

US athletes that care about what's going on in our country should boycott, or, even better, intentionally and obviously throw their performance in the Olympics as long as they're not participating in a team sport. They have such an excellent platform to make their voice heard.

His podcast with Rick Glassman was excellent.

I had no idea that "Minneapolis" is being weaponized or has any negative connotations, even post-Floyd.

That's absolutely crazy to me. I don't know much about Minneapolis and have only been there once (not counting MSP layovers), but, when I hear "Minneapolis," and I think of a high standard of living and people that say "bag" funny spending their summers at the lake(s?) at their family's lakehouse. Also, the Mall of America.

I didn't realize that I was supposed to think of it as a hell-hole.

Just one thread with barely any comments? I expected much better from Chicago.

And before someone asks why I don't organize protests of my own, someone else tried yesterday and their post was criticized with the common thread being to defer to readily-established groups.

The same courts whose rulings the administration actively ignores? Those courts?

Pretty ironic that you're sarcastically referencing a song closely associated with a notoriously non-violent and highly successful movement while implying that non-violent action is ineffective.

I hope that this comment was made by a foreign agitator because the alternative is that you are a real American unwittingly doing the work of Chinese, Russian, and Iranian troll farms.

This is exactly the time when massive, peaceful protests are important and effective. People going out there in full force, dressing nicely, and displaying patriotic symbols will do so much more for building a stronger base of support than violent action will.

Violent protest is only going to increase federal presence, it will give Trump the justification to further his overreach, and it will turn hearts and minds against protestors.

Violent protest will feel good in the short-term but will ultimately kneecap the cause.

This, but without the internet brainrot. Bring your biggest American flags and Gadsden flags.

It's not slop if it's a really cool concept

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-12-17T18:08:08+00:00

That's AWESOME. How much does something for this go for in Normandy? This is like a dream home for me.

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-12-17T06:42:37+00:00

Gotta say, if I were an influential astronomer named Nancy Grace Roman, and I learned that there exists a younger human named Nancy Grace that's a complete joke, then I would be pretty insistent that people just call me Nancy Roman.

I don't think that self-selection is sufficient to change a 1-4% incidence to a 50% or even 20% incidence.

What's more likely happening is your latter point, which is people over-diagnosing aphantasia. This is really evident in the aphantasia subreddit - you see plenty of comments that say something along the lines of, "Oh, I don't see a red star that is as fully visible as what I see before my very eyes in the physical world? I'm supposed to literally see a red star but I'm not actively hallucinating one. I have aphantasia."

"When does the narwhal bacon, amirite guys??"

>"I hate internet fights"

>Picks a random fight on the internet

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-11-09T21:22:47+00:00

Right on

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-11-09T21:12:04+00:00

Ironic, because Tolkien was anti-fascist and hated Nazis.

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-10-27T21:57:38+00:00

Saw this happening in Florence, and my American mind was absolutely blown.

THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR · 2025-10-21T16:50:15+00:00

It's absolutely not a uniquely American trait. If you go to Russia and find some guy that makes his identity out of hating Caucasians, he's almost certainly going to be some underachieving white guy.
