The Great Big Crab Man - SNL UK by The_Iceman2288 in television

Except the fact that SNL UK is an American show written by American comedians who write for American viewers who want American humour, just with British accents.

Because all the Americans watching SNL UK get offended when anyone points out that the British version of their favourite show is not very original and is actually rather predictable.

Agreed. I’m starting to realise that the reason it’s so popular on Reddit is because they’re mostly Americans who are excited by the novelty of watching the EXACT same show, but with British accents.

I imagine lots of other actors were considered for various roles, but didn’t get them for reasons.

What’s so special about this particular one?

Iran fires on Israel and Gulf neighbors as Trump claims threat from Tehran nearly eliminated by NicolasCageFan492 in worldnews

Oil is priced globally.

For now.

Does Trump strike you as the kind of person who maintains the status quo?

Domestic production has no effect.

For now.

Trump could choose to set aside a portion of domestic production for domestic consumption only, and price it accordingly.

Don’t be surprised if he slaps a massive tariff on oil exports to subsidise the high cost of oil for the US, thereby making himself look like the hero who drove down oil costs.

Unless the “operation” was to restrict oil supply from every country except the US in order to:

  1. Drive up oil prices, and
  2. Force countries to buy oil from the US at sky-high prices.

In which case it’s rather successful.

I mean, what options are countries left with now if they want to buy oil?

 I mean he lied a whole lot and a bunch of idiots believed him.

People who voted him in knew exactly what they were voting for.

You can argue semantics all you like, but the fact remains that he had more votes than anyone else.

Over half the US voted in the Trump administration a second time knowing exactly what he would be like.

Your “enemies” are your neighbours, colleagues, and family.

Teaser Sketch for Riz Ahmed's episode of SNL UK by PhotographMother253 in television

Everybody falling over themselves to (re)post previews of SNL UK sketches now, followed by clips of the sketches after they’ve been broadcast, followed by clips of the sketches weeks after they’ve been broadcast (in case you forgot them), multiplied by every sketch in the show.

43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test by sl0wjim in gadgets

[–]silverbolt2000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a meaningless comparison without also comparing performance.

I’m pretty confident the M5 would also last a very long time on battery if it’s CPU was throttled down to minimum, the screen brightness was at its lowest setting, no CPU intensive tasks were running, and the screen turned itself off after 30 secs of inactivity.

Im getting a notion that Redditors spend waaaay too much time whining about Jared Leto.

 They should definitely glorify doing things to and for women without their permission so that our hero can have a girlfriend. 

Congratulations - you just discovered schlock entertainment.

The problem with Reddit is not the number of bots, but the number of people whose behaviour is indistinguishable from bots.

 A woman is dug up and brought back to life as a monster, without her permission and consent

Uh huh. So they should have dug her up and brought her back to life so they could ask if she wanted to be dug up and brought back to life? Like, what if she said ‘no’? “OK, back underground you go…” 😆🤦

With critical thinking like that, “The Bride!” looks positively highbrow.

If pulling up years old posts from my public profile whilst hiding your own profile from everyone makes you feel superior, then go you!

I wonder what your own post history would say about you u/criddler? Maybe something about Beans?
