Dr. Phil's staged interview with Donald Trump is a sign of the grim political theater to come
  • She really did launder a ton of both mis and disinformation through her show over the years.

  • Anon visits gamestop
  • Half the reason I still visit Reddit is so that I can hit /gme_meltdown (the other half is sports.)

  • is this employee in the room with us right now?
  • I think that a lot of those people likely live in a very car dependent, suburban area, and therefore don't get any regular interaction with people outside of their immediate family.

    I live in a city, so I have regular infractions with people that I know when I'm out and about: I pop into the butcher shop, coffee shop or green grocer and talk to the employees I know. I walk the dog, and run into friends and acquaintances that live the next neighborhood over, etc. People in rural areas usually have similar sorts of relationships with people in the area.

    Contrast that with the suburbs, where neighbors may know each other to say hello to, but not much past that, and it's hard to build any kind of relationship with the barista at the drive-through Starbucks or any employees at the local Kroger superstore.

  • Gotta put the trucks somewhere, too.

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • I prefer people do that than either delete the comment, or edit the original. Otherwise the comment chain makes no sense, and people don't get a chance to learn from the original incorrect comment.

  • This has been your weekend PSA
  • Just use your hand. If the beer is in a bottle, leave it so the neck is sticking out of the ice water and spin it that way (this also works very well for wine.) If it's a can, stick it in vertically, and spin it for 30 seconds at a time or whatever you can stand.

    Even if you aren't constantly spinning it, it will still get cold much faster than any other method. I've worked in bars and restaurants for 15 years, and this is my go to, in case of emergency method for chilling beverages.

  • Not to mom shame...
  • Duh. Everybody knows the only thing that works is Velostat. You cannot use any other material.

  • Journalist shot by Minneapolis police during 2020 protests dying from injuries
  • But of course, police are given 3 months of training tops, so they just fire them wherever.

    I don't think they fire them wherever. I think they aim at people's faces because they think it's funny.

  • Utah's bathroom snitch line hasn't found one legitimate complaint out of 12,000
  • Bleed the Beast.

    Waste money on bullshit like this, then cut useful social services to "balance the budget."

  • Healthcare? Oooo maybe next time...
  • Yeah. Just to be clear, the reason all those Dems voted against this appropriations bill was that it contains carve outs for things like abortion, among other things the far-right caucus wanted. As a result, it will never pass the Senate.

    There will now be a lengthy back and forth between the two chambers to try to get a reconciled version passed, and morons like Butthead and Troll-foot can grandstand and repeat Russian talking points to the public.

  • Fair and Balanced
  • She sucked ol Ronny stupid.

  • Trump gets name of his doctor wrong as he challenges Biden to cognitive test
  • No, they need to actually report on him. That includes the court cases, but also the constant stream of crazy shit that he says at his "rallies," as well as what his plans are for a second presidency.

  • The abs that shook the pillars of civilization
  • Because they can choose whose peepee, if any, that they want to touch. And yes, they choose not to touch said podcaster.

  • Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over OpenAI partnership
  • Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

    Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    In case anybody is wondering why he's making a big deal out of it.

    As to why emoji feels the need to make his own "anti-woke" AI, it's because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet "forced diversity quotas." I'm not kidding.

  • Appeals court tells Texas it cannot ban books for mentioning ‘butt and fart’
  • It's not the last 40 years, it's been since Civil Rights legislation and the Brown vs Board decision.

  • Patriarchy harms boys and men, too. Helping them realize this is key to erasing toxic masculinity
  • The men's lib subreddit used to be very good as well. (It probably still is, I just haven't checked it in a while.)

  • Patriarchy harms boys and men, too. Helping them realize this is key to erasing toxic masculinity
  • Yes, because men are entitled to these things (ie that is their purview) they are expected to automatically excel in those areas. Then when they fail to live up to those expectations, they feel badly about themselves.

    I think your experience sums it up perfectly, as long as you don't get too hung up on the word "entitled."
