Don’t forget Oprah who amplified the idea more than they ever could have done on their own

World War Z, the book not the basically unrelated movie, is definitely the best imo. As a bonus the audiobook has a full cast of narrators including Mark Hamil and Common.

I’ll be your friend

I know a lot of people won’t believe it happens, because the simpler and more mundane explanation (which is usually the true one) is that it isn’t necessary because of all the data that we know is being collected like browsing habits, searches, etc but my partner has a few times tried to test this as a party trick. Normally her ads are for like kitcschy knick-knacks or like funky flower pots but one time we were hanging with friends talking about this discussion and we decided to all repeat out loud “lab grown diamond engagement rings” for about 15 min. Not 1 hour later she had an Instagram ad that said word for word “lab grown diamond engagement rings.” I know it’s anecdotal and isn’t proof but we’ve done this a few times and it’s seemed to work about half the time; each time we get an ad that’s both hyper specific to what we’re taking about and also not something close to anything we’ve been advertised before.

Actually in ID4 there was an explanation. Basically all of humanity’s computer tech came from reverse engineering alien tech. So our computers worked with theirs because they were based on theirs. Maybe this isn’t this best logic, but they did at least have an in universe explanation.

Well Electric Lady is the name of the studio that live album was recorded at, which is a studio in NYC that Jimi commissioned, so those two at least are related.

If you haven’t listened to her live at Electric Lady album i highly recommend. The band she has is absolutely killer.

Not to mention most of them are used to consuming way more calories then the average human and doing intense workouts that they then stop doing during s competition. That energy needs to release somehow.

Even worse than that imo is ‘quarter of’. I swear to god it’s been used to mean both before or after whatever hour they’re talking about

Get corporate money out of politics, bust up monopolies/oligopolies, implement better regulations that hold executives/board members personally liable

Why not both

Um, I’d start with the current Supreme Court and their striking down of Roe v Wade?

What do you mean? From that wiki page it looks like personal income tax is more than 5 times what is brought in from corporations

This is such a weird “america bad” take; having universal healthcare has nothing to do with wanting to hold corporations accountable for their shitty behavior.

How do you keep the pants dry

I mean, probably dont want to hear this but if all of your hobbies are complete sausage fests but you want to meet women organically you should try out some hobbies that women are more likely to do. Dancing classes, cooking classes, improv comedy groups, yoga, certain adult sports leagues etc. Once you have a few women friends it becomes much easier to meet more and most women would love to set up their friemds if they think you’re cool.

He’s making a joke, because if you look at /all communities it can be like half posts from various Linux communities at times

I like curbside in theory but I’ve been burned enough times with either items being out of stock or weird ass/ more expensive substitutions makes it feel not worth that hassle

What do they expect the Palestinians to do, just accept their own extermination?

I mean you can fight back against your oppressors without massacring civilians, many of whom aren’t even Isrealis

all of that blood is on the hands of the Israeli apartheid regime

Huh? How do you figure that? Isreal has done a ton of fucked things but that doesn’t excuse massacring civilians. If you want support in fighting your oppressors you don’t go around committing war crimes of your own. Both sides suck here.
