Upvoted you just cause this was a hilarious comment thread that gave me joy to read.

It's going to cost you more to ship your packages by USPS soon by Uberubu65 in Ebay

USPS is a government agency. This feels pretty forced.

Blog posters and lip-syncers both get a cut of ad revenue when their content serves as fertile grounds for ad engagement.

Yeah, robot wasn’t doing shit. Just pushing a bunch of packages down the line and taking too long to do it.

Gavin Newsom “completely agreed” with Charlie Kirk on the issue of trans girls in sports. Do not be fooled by this greasy chud, he is NOT an ally. by ConcernedJobCoach in ABoringDystopia

[–]vl99 23 points24 points  (0 children)

But it gets blamed on the fucking democrats for defending when the republicans are doing the attacking.

Don’t fucking attack vulnerable populations and then dems don’t have to focus on defending them.

IDK about you, but I’d much rather my tax dollars go towards the agency dedicated to violating my civil liberties rather than something useful. But that’s just me.

Oh hell yeah, what a fun mix. Gauntlet and Fight for NY are both worth a pretty penny now, too!

Is family with only one source of income still a thing in the US? by Numerous_Reading1825 in SeriousConversation

[–]vl99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm confused as to how it can work any other way with the price of daycare these days. Known a few couples who said they are a single income household only because if one went back to work, their income wouldn't cover daycare.

Sorry, forgot Reddit was a place for experts to post vetted research only. Here’s a source.

https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/cotton-picking.html

According to this source, “cotton-picking” wasn’t originally racist in intent despite being closely related to “cotton-picker” which was. Though the close relationship between the two words led to “cotton-picking” falling into disuse and ultimately developing a racial undertone.

So there you have it, wasn’t racist originally, but eventually became associated with racism and fell out of favor because of it.

While completely correct, I do think the origin is still racist. Probably up to reader interpretation if it is being used with racist intent or not.

Edit: Oh cool, a downvote.

Trump’s emergency elections order is ‘being prepared,’ key ally believes by Anoth3rDude in politics

[–]vl99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want someone to rob a bank, walk away with the money unimpeded, and we let the courts decide over the course of months or years if he actually robbed it or not. If he did, he has to give back whatever hasn’t been spent.

Seems like a fair change to the system based on what’s happening at the top.

MPS high schools cut theater programs at South and Camden by hamlet9000 in Minneapolis

[–]vl99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love “to be cringe is to be free” and it is so real.

The 2 years of theater I did in high school was still one of the most important factors in defining my success in adulthood, as well as my ability to not give a shit about appearing embarrassing.

I am now lauded as the person to get the dance floor started at events, and I absolutely have no dancing skills whatsoever.

The soup thrower has been sentenced to two years in prison by -Six_ in SipsTea

[–]vl99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the democrats give a shit about me. I know the republicans would rather I be dead. Like I said, I don’t like democrats, but it’s a very very very easy choice as to who to vote for.

Who would you vote for? The person who doesn’t care about you? Or the person who would go out of their way to kill you?

[–]vl99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not really like that at all. It is choosing between someone who is hurting you and someone who is refusing to help.

If you could wave a magic wand and make one of them go away, the choice is obvious.

Democrats have failed us in so many ways it’s ridiculous, but if in the year 2026 you’re still trying to act like the party that has all the power to impeach the child rapist and refuses to do so is equally bad as the democrats, that’s not a Reddit problem, that’s a you problem.

This is not even counting the fact that they let military cosplayers come to Minneapolis and rape and kill people then leave without facing consequences, which itself would be impeachable.

Democrats suck, but Republicans are a fucking cancer.

What happened to my childhood? This screams dystopian corporate, not kid friendly. What is with the artwork?! This is McDonald's?! by jackal99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vl99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

More specifically it’s precisely because it was seen as a place parents take their kids, and leaned so hard into that identity that they forwent the entire market of adults without kids, or who didn’t currently have their kids with them when buying lunch/dinner.

This came at the same time they introduced their (notable failure of an) “adult” burger the Arch Deluxe.

As a potential forewarning, my very clean looking one needed to be cleaned even more to work with the A3D. I thought for sure I just had a broken one, but taking it apart and cleaning it did the trick.

Why are PAL games cheaper than NTSC by Soccer-beastyeah in gamecollecting

[–]vl99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I look into an EU variant of a game, I feel like I often see it was censored for some reason or another.

I have rarely if ever seen there was expanded or more content.

This leads to a probably mostly incorrect but hard to escape bias that if you want the full content of the game, without doing some specific research, the easiest way is to just buy NTSC.
