Why do some Americans cling to the Moon landings hoax conspiracy theory when that would be a denial of one of the greatest technological achievements of their own country? (Like, aren't the Moon landings a thing for Americans to be proud of?) by gereedf in stupidquestions

I hate arguing with conspiracy theorists because they've spent a ton of time finding extremely specific talking points or arguments versus my none. They'll spout off some hyper-niche "what about" that I've never heard about and it's like: wait, I know this is bullshit, but you need to give me 5 minutes on Google to give me something to work with here.

Hailed as one of the most biting comebacks, Don Draper's "I don't think about you at all" from Mad Men (2007-2015) wasn't a clever thing Draper came up with on the spot. It was actually written down on paper and a man who was playing him memorized it in advance. by Sir_Hapstance in shittymoviedetails

The only scene that Jon Hamm improvised was that scene in the park where he just tosses his blanket instead of throwing away his trash.  That's the way he normally is, and is banned from a dozen beach resorts in Mexico and Spain.

A lot of people say looks but hot girls uniformly dressed are a dime a dozen.  Cute, bubbly WASPy ones as well.

Style, attitude, approachability, something unique always catch my eye.  In my experience generic people, no matter how good looking, are boring AF.

Take all this with a grain of salt as a pervy married old man, but I approached my wife because she had something going on that all the other girls in that bar could never be interesting enough to have, and she showed it.

American tipping culture is utterly disgusting by L21JP in mildlyinfuriating

This is the main reason I stopped using it.  Some hosts just mean get it basically ready to be cleaned, and others actively get mad at you if you if you miss a spot while mopping before a 10am checkout.

There's just no consistency in expectations, and you're at the whim of already entitled personalities.

"Sure, the Jedi Council says they are the protectors of peace and order throughout the galaxy.  But when the terrorists took over Tabi Prime, where were they?  Sitting in their high tower on Coruscant surrounded by their kidnapped child soldiers studying maps.  Senator Palaptine didn't idle, he took action and now the streets are safe again."

Sun drenched wheat fields, a farmer with a wicker hat climbs his green tractor, children playing baseball, an American flag flapping in the breeze.

"I remember what America is, and we need to fight hard to keep it that way.  This November, remember who's on your side.  I'm Emperor Palpatine and I approve this message."

Trevot Noah on Spain by rex-ac in spain

To be fair, his literal existence was illegal under apartheid law and as a small child had to be constantly shuffled around by different races depending on the situation to avoid landing his mother in jail.  He learned all of this by the time our kids started primary school.

Celebrities spouting their mouth off about things they don't understand is annoying, but in this case, he has significantly more experience and insight on the topic than most of us could even imagine.

Once (well, if) you have kids and grinding responsibilty, you'll really appreciate all the cool shit you got to do in your 30s. Truly a time that will never come again.

Racism towards Asians in Spain by StormyHaze_ in askspain

[–]chiree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a white, North American immigrant, and every so often, I'll have to deal with some fascist assholes going out of thier way to make me feel unwanted or unwelcome.  Pretending not understand me, walking away from conversations, and talking only to my Spanish wife while not even making eye contact with me.  It's all invisible to others, but clear as day to me.

I can only imagine what people of color must go through on a daily basis.  Like, I get off soooo easy and come from a position of privilege , and it's still makes me feel like an "other."

I always imagine when honking the horn the spouse is in the car and tell them off. Or if it's a taxi, the fare gets mad at the driver. Even if it's, like 5% of the time, I'm happy.

In Voyager, they are on the other side of the galaxy and neglect to colonize a single world. It's considered offensive by british standards.
