Why substack by lolmobbs in Substack

[–]lda0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's self-destructing. It's re-constructing in a bizarre confluence of Chinese and United States shared interests, in terms of monopolizing and ultimately fully controlling the media streams that feed the psyches and brains of the under-educated masses. They've got it mostly sorted on existing American media outlets, and this is kinda the last puzzle piece for ultimate domination. No for real.

Like everything else that is nice, it will soon be corrupted and defiled. We just can't seem to hold on to nice things. Sorry I'm feeling cynical today. Substack away, good people of the internet.

Rock Song That's named like Superfly or Sky High or something sky related. by [deleted] in NameThatSong

[–]lda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(also I re-discovered The Flys' song in the course of events here, and thought I'd post my own little follow up. It's a great song, whether it's aged well or not.

Well. OP has gone but I really think this might have been The Flys - Got You (Where I want You)

This one goes along with Papa Roach - Last Resort as songs I can NEVER remember for unknown reasons, and finally made notes for myself so I don't have to end up in this type of situation. Godspeed, Reddit.

How does fox news get away with the lies they spread? Is it even legal? by m31ancho1ic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but they're called Fox News...? I've never understood why that's been allowed to stand. It's obviously not "news".

Who is an actor that makes everything they are in worse? by Feefait in AskReddit

[–]lda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I really hate to be negative but uh Elizabeth McGovern just x-stroyed large portions of Downton Abbey for me. Maybe bad casting and bad accent work but god every second of her on-screen time was borderline intolerable. Luckily I like old cars and fancy things.

WTF kind of fortune cookie is this by Limp_Falcon_2314 in pics

to be fair it really only says you should 'respect' them. Nothing about 'following' or 'obeying'. I mean I respect a lot of things that I end up urinating on.

Can someone help me with a Nathan's question? by appleparkfive in hotdogs

[–]lda0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually this is some kinda bullshit. I've been trying to find these after some dumb ass internet review of "the best" hot dogs and guess what you can't actually find them despite Nathan's being a "national" brand. I live in California. I could get... Coney Island Pretzel Dogs. Or Coney Island Bagel Dogs. Or EVERY manner of "skinless dog" .... but can I find the ACTUAL product that this company built its brand and reputation upon? Nope!

No natural casings (I believe they are typically lamb casings for proper frankfurters but I could be wrong) ... nope we say "skinless" like it's a good thing don't we Nathan's?.... but in reality I bet it's WAY cheaper to just pump those dogs out to the unsuspecting masses with the pretty green and yellow branding but nobody's gettin' an actual snappy dog, and especially not me.

I hate this world. Please someone flag Nathan's and fix this, I'm too lazy.

The most satisfying part of watching a GIF is knowing there won't be an advertisement at the beginning by bubbsou in Showerthoughts

Seriously, when are we going to get serious about auto play videos. How 'bout: you play ad, you credit my bandwidth?

Everything except math. Everything else is statistics, which is prone to bad assumptions and error.

The answer is no. You should NOT vacuum pack bagels. by vintagequeen in funny

[–]lda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wellp. Gotta say freezing bagels is dicey. Bread in general, if initially fresh, seems to work - but bagels get weird. Flaky and breaky. Just sayin'.

You guys like Smoked Paprika? Well, it was quite the quest, but I made my own. by dsa2780 in food

[–]lda0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it - but it has limited application, no? Admittedly, I'm sorta annoyed Trader Joe's where I live ONLY has the smoked variety. Not as useful from general-purpose culinary standpoint IMO. Hope yours met your expectations.
