At the Pandemic’s Start, Americans Began Drinking More. They Still Are.
  • "They" in this sentence denotes Americans collectively, not just Americans who drink. Although yes, in actual fact outside the world of grammar, it's only the alcohol-drinking Americans who are consuming more alcohol, the sentence doesn't break "Americans" into subgroups in the way that your sentence implies.

  • How Hollywood Shot Actors with Arrows before CGI
  • When I first saw this, I thought the implication was that they used real archers and the actors protected themselves by wearing these devices that would somehow block and capture the arrows, which would also miraculously never miss

  • please do it
  • Rogan is an idiot, but did you know that his podcast is the most popular one in the world? It has 16 million subscribers, I think just on Spotify. "Alt right" is too reductive; this would be an excellent move for Harris.

  • YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books.
  • You don't own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

    I don't own mine because I pirated them

    We are not the same

    edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I'm much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction... I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?
  • I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.

    You better get on that Scavengers Reign train. There's only one season right now, but it rules, especially from a "weirdness" perspective, and there's not going to be more unless it gets some more attention.

  • THICC
  • No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don't think using "thicc" is any more than using "cool" is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

    "OH LAWD" in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

  • Values
  • That cake looks pretty fancy for a racist gag. My understanding is that swastikas are pretty widespread as a generic "holy" decoration in India and Asia. I'm wondering if that image isn't originally from a bakery from that region.

  • I may not be the brightest
  • I've gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??
