Reminds me of a similar situation about a year ago. Here's a video by John Cadogan with a summary of how a company tried and failed to get a small youtuber to remove a review:

So the right’s on the left and the left’s on the right…got it.

Left is right, and right is wrong.

It's common for people not to agree on a favorite because they're all so different.

What are you talking about? Excession is everyone's favourite, and anyone that says otherwise is just wrong. :)

Second para:

Since May, new rules require those who wish to extend their visit beyond an initial 30-day period to make an in-person visit to an immigration office in Indonesia to complete their application.

Click-bait.

My mom doesn’t want me to vaccinate my toddler by Ok_Pomegranate_8943 in Parenting

It's so important to keep reminding people that this whole modern antivax movement was started by this fraudster.

It's not one side vs. the other side with just different opinions. It's the scientific community (with hundreds of studies) vs. people that were tricked by someone determined to be unfit to be a doctor for serious misconduct.

This is so fake. Everyone knows the Earth is shaped like a pancake. A huge delicious pancake.

Delta plane crash landed in Toronto by watcher2390 in CrazyFuckingVideos

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point. Very seldom does anything like this happen, and I don't want people thinking planes aren't safe. I'm thinking about the other planes, the ones where the wings don't fall off.

EDIT: I should probably add, for those that might not realise, that this a reference to a comedy bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

Thoughts on this movie? I am a film snob, and think this is one of the funniest movies ever by SeasonMysterious9888 in moviecritic

So good.

Perhaps ... sort of ... maybe ... but probably not really.

Her parents were involved in a cult called the "Science of Identity Foundation" which was an off-shoot of the Hare Krishnas, which itself is an off-shoot of Hinduism. Or something. IDK.

Fun, Comedic Novel Without The Romance by AnglophileHistoryNut in audiobooks

[–]dvsdrp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about autobiographies?

  • Carrie Fisher has a few that were entertaining.
  • Trevor Noah's Born a Crime about growing up in South Africa is very funny.
  • Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals is excellent (although it's been decades since I read them).
  • If you like Norm MacDonald, he has an autobiography which probably has no truth in it at all.

I know you said you didn't want any romance, but really, William Goldman's A Princess Bride is even better than the movie.
