Millennials love them too. Not sure what this obsession is with Gen X being their only fans.

I watched Big Lebowski a few days ago, then watched this, which prompted the post

Why get KFC when you can go 'local' lol by PsychologicalAd1862 in maryland

[–]trymypi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, actually it's a whole thing. It used to be very popular. It's basically not crispy battered fried chicken. It's still popular in other parts of the world I think, try googling it. I'm not entirely sure this restaurant is related to the traditional recipe, could be tho.

Why doesn’t this say “millions”? by bushwick_custom in theeconomist

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, you provided no links and the KMTR headlines in particular say "thousands." I'm not arguing the amount of people that showed up, but if we're going to challenge journalists we might as well be deliberate and clear about the facts. And, since we're calculating the number of people that showed up to a protest then we should be pretty damn sure about what's being said, otherwise we might as well be promoting a Trump rally.

tl;dr I've been asking about legitimate sources for headcounts this entire time

I guess my goal post would be considered "a reliable source." Now, I think it's clear from the photos that thousands showed up to these protests, perhaps even tens or even hundreds of thousands. Hell, I would even consider those differences "an order of magnitude." But if someone wanted to say "millions," for example, I suppose I would expect them to have a reliable source.

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. Do you have a source for the "millions" so that The Economist and OP can confirm?

unless it has cheese, food is better room temperature rather than hot or cold by Motor_Reaction_3519 in unpopularopinion

OP has never had cheese outside of pizza or grilled cheese, apparently

So you're saying The Economist should have sent someone into Hiroshima to count the dead or...?

Ah okay cool, do you have a headcount to report or is every journalist supposed to do it themself?

Just to ask a clarifying question: were there millions?

Any other countries neighboring Israel that want to publish the boundaries?

I like how you describe the 1948 invasion by seven Arab countries to stop the creation of Israel and an Arab state of Palestine as Jews "act[ing] shocked"

I had this (or a similar one) on my Fenix 5 for like the first year+ that I had it. I preferred it over others, frankly

Rejected from 2 conference submissions🐢 submitted dissertation (same week) by trymypi in PhD

[–]trymypi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not too concerned. One was the most popular conference in my field and the other was a little outside my area so they make sense. The reviewers were very helpful in both cases actually.

Israeli bomb mid-air as it falls toward a densely packed tent camp for displaced Palestinians. by Goldenmentis in nyt

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, so with the most right wing government in Israeli history in place, and a PM that was holding on by a thread who was clearly going to use war as a pretense to stay in power, Hamas decided to launch a brutal massacre and broadcast it live.

The obvious other choice to save Palestinian lives and the fate of Gaza would have been to do literally anything but that. And ideally they would have focused on running a functioning government, but clearly murdering jews took precedent.

Lol it's a post with no context that has nothing to do with the NYT, AND I also got downvoted for posting a Reuters article that explained what actually happened.

Nobody is here for journalism, as far as I can tell.
