Tell me you don’t understand satire without saying you don’t understand satire.

I can no longer make it through a show with a laugh track. They just spoil the flow.

While they don’t always ruin the thing, so many old shows, movies, and music have a ton of blatant racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. sprinkled in that makes it less enjoyable. South Park’s Chef Aid album has a song that is a combo of Crystal Method, Ozzy, DMX, and I think Wu Tang called Nowhere to Run. It is pretty awesome, except for DMX inserting a few homophobic lines. That asshole ruined a great song!

Overall I notice mean jokes and cruel humor, which is still around to some extent but far less often without the person making the joke clearly an asshole. Stuff like Mel Brooks that included some humor about groups that were frequently mocked, but in a way that is mostly self aware parody, aged pretty well.

People don’t generally get to keep the benefits from a crime, and in this case the money is both evidence and also money she never would have been able to legally receive.

Since it comes from the ceiminals it would be neat to let her keep it as a reward for reporting it, but she probably won’t get to.

I look forward to SCOTUS ruling this was a gratuity instead of a bribe.

Checks out, since they have to distract from ruling that gratuities aren’t bribes.

Project 2025 is the mustache twirling villain of political platforms. Absolutely everything is the worst possible thing it can be short of literal death squads.

Only white people can run people out of towns in the US without facing over the top legally supported retribution.

Is anything other than sexting referred to as inappropriate when a minor is involved?

How would a site make itself acessible to the internet in general while also not allowing itself to be scraped using technology?

robots.txt does rely on being respected, just like no tresspassing signs. The lack of enforcement is the problem, and keeping robots.txt to track the permissions would make it effective again.

I am agreeing, just with a slightky different take.

It seems Biden likes to make things happen withiut making a big deal about it, because in a perfect world that sounds like a good thing. Just get stuff done!

But the Dems as a whole need to get better at messaging their victories so they get the credit, which I understand is hard when rage bait sells, but if nobody knows they can’t counter the conservative lies.

…it’s blackmail leverage ignoring the fact that it’s only blackmail material when the government considers it verboten…

…it’s smoking with a clearance…

Smoking with a clearance is only possible blackmail material because the government makes it verboten. Their point stands.

Mythbusters before Mythbusters.

Kinda hard to throw them out when the majority didn’t know that they could.

Most residents weren’t even aware that there were supposed to be elections for these positions.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do.

I read that as opting into the early access, not as opting in to having AI in Firefox. Hope it is the way you read it.

Is no chatbot a choice?

I got some parachute pants when I was around 11 or 12 because I thought they were cool, and were the only fad I actually got excited about. Those were some comfy pants!

In high school grunge got popular, which worked out for since I was already wearing worn out jeans, tshirts, and flannel shirts due to living in a rural area. Not sure if trends catching up with me counts as being part of the fad, but I did like the music.

I know it sounds crazy, but I swear the emotion there was like the first cow was trying to wake up the hit cow

That isn’t crazy. Tons of social mammals do that, including cows.
