hey, scientist here. i did an extensive study on ram prices that tracked the cost of ram between 2007 and 2026. this may not sound impressive, because all i had to do was look at the average price every year, but trust me, bro, it was difficult.
if you think your average american can read or use microsoft excel you got another thing coming.
why would you compare the two? seinfeld is actually funny because it’s universal social observation. it’s a streetwise comedy of manners like curb your enthusiasm.
we’ve all been george when he leaves a dumb message on an answering machine and then stresses over it; we’ve all had touchy friends or acquaintances who cut ties for some petty reason. it’s often exaggerated, but it’s human and relatable.
i wouldn’t just question the taste of someone who doesn’t like seinfeld but i’d question how much awareness they have about everything going on around them.
some jokey sitcoms still hit–frasier and golden girls are witty. but most aren’t funny anymore and they weren’t all that funny in their day.
the middle class are the people who lived in all those american suburbs built in the 50s and 60s; those small, 2 or 3 bedroom houses with drab siding or brick facades that are an overrepresentation of the american landscape and lifestyle, despite the fact you’ve rarely ever seen one in a TV show or film. these homes were affordable to the average worker but now aren’t; those are the homes of the 90%, the actual hard-working american population–the ‘middle class.’
this isn’t that difficult of a concept.
the reddit forum design seems to inherently encourage nerd bullshit. tell me more about the dictionary definition of this or that.
doubt many ‘of the most valuable’ books haven’t been digitized or aren’t available on amazon or ebay for a pittance. when i need to find something on anna’s archive, it’s usually because it’s some bullshit, tween pulp romance novel from the late 70’s.
joey lawrence here. i play the dimwitted heartthrob on blossom but there’s no heart in the american medical system–last week i paid 5000000 to remove an entire package of sweet tarts from my urethra.
whoa!
i notice this issue whenever i watch new films–everything looks so sterile and uninviting. culture has taken on this showroom/instagram aesthetic that gestures to class but has no character, taste and doesn’t look like anywhere where anyone would actually live; it’s nowhere where anyone sensible would want to live, at least.
calling it minimalistic is disrespectful because that word and style aren’t mutually exclusive.
is she though?
she’s a third or fourth tier suburban women who’s not fat and has a stylist and makeup artist to tweak her into star status. she only looks hot because most people in the states look sloppy.
how is a pimp different than any other capitalist?
how come when it comes to the issue of sex everyone all of a sudden takes offense to someone taking a cut off the top?
aren’t car dealers pimps? aren’t they just car traffickers? isn’t mcdonalds a meat trafficker?
another question: why are women so feeble that a dude can show up at their door in a fur coat and a fedora and be like ‘you’re gonna fuck random dudes and i’m gonna take all the money’ and they’re like ‘ok.’
nowhere in culture do we consider this OK behavior so there’s no excuse for it. when men are down and out they suck down steel reserves and live in the park like normal people.
we need to talk about this.
big guys should stop trying to wear slim fit jeans. like, it doesn’t look good. try a relaxed fit, and don’t wear a tight shirt when you have a gut.
yes. anyone who’s 35+ years of age should notice this.
while shitty things used to happen or fly under the radar, mass media used to act as cultural checks and balances to keep the insanity at arms length. but it’s all been monopolized–it’s all controlled by the crazy people. you have independent journalism but few americans read it, and most online magazines are read by out-of-touch, overeducated yuppies and aren’t nearly as biting as they used to be or should be.
but this bullshit should be obvious to anyone because the rest of culture needs to adjust to the insanity, to normalize it. how hard is it to differentiate between parody/satire and reality these days?
it’s impossible IMO. when i watch most newer films i assume they’re parody because they’re so fucking stupid.
going by the knowledge they learned in school makes them dumb though. if they weren’t foolish, they’d learn the truth through curiosity but so many doctors i’ve been to are entirely fucking useless for anything other than running tests.
have anything wrong with you that requires ACTUAL THOUGHT? well, good fucking luck with that one.
most professionals are dumbasses and you’ll get better results with google and just doing the shit yourself.
this is some fearmongering. unless your diet is nothing but packaged foods, your sodium level is always gonna be under the RDA, and sodium is necessary for your body to function. going low-sodium is more dangerous than going over the RDA for the average person.
men pay attention to women they get roasted; men ignore women and they get roasted.
it’s almost like there’s a battle of the sexes going on that’s tipped one way because nobody dares speak out on the men’s side because they’ll get labeled an incel or ‘part of the problem.’
neither of those women are worth paying attention to.
that’s awesome. it only take 500,000 years to get there. i have hope we can achieve this by 2050 since there are so many geniuses heading major corporations. i have it on good authority that elon musk himself is currently working on cracking the mysteries of wormholes when he’s not posting on twitter.
AI has gone rogue and turned into a hollywood movie hacker!!!
obvious sensationalism to hype up their dumb models that can’t generate a nuanced background in an image because it was trained on 3483048304834 images of instagram models posing in empty hotel rooms.
an intelligent business would take a long, hard look at their practices and their leadership and find out why they’re failing so hard.
another obvious sign america is run by idiots–we can’t even do business right even though it’s all we supposedly care about.
i’ve never been terrified of anything, except a fox. i watched that episode of x-files that featured the chupacabra and then encountered a fox out in the wild–you can imagine this loss of suburban innocence if you think hard about it and use your imagination. now, a typical fox looks nothing like a mexican goatsucker (maybe if it was bulked up with cans of goya black beans and had bigger teeth) but it put the scare into me because i had only encountered the occasional groundhog and stray cat at night; back then you didn’t see too many bums around.
one of those stray cats used to come around a lot and i named it ‘sugar’ because it was stark white and that song fly was on the radio a lot, the one by that band sugar ray. and after it hung around for awhile (i would leave out bush’s baked beans in a tupperware container because i felt bad) it became part of the family. i renamed it ‘yeti’ because i thought sugar was too homoerotic but that’s for another post.
“tech executive here, did you guys know i named my company after lord of the rings? i read it in high school…”
redditor: "holy shit guys, did you know tech executives were this smart? i was never into cuck porn before this post but now i’m a true believer.’
not a leftist or a tankie but america has probably caused more distress to immigrant women in the last year than north korea has caused in its entire existence.
think of the pain of every immigrant wife/mother/daughter in america as either they or their loved ones have been hauled away to who knows where.
really weird pearl clutching going on here.
how are humans going to progress if you eliminate all the resources for humans to share experience?
imagine 20 years in the future where you no longer have a resource like stack overflow to troubleshoot the latest technology.
where is AI going to steal its answers from?
this seems like a dumbfuck gambit based on hopes and dreams. even if an AI can achieve what they’re hoping, it won’t know everything. they’re banking on AI having the experience and intelligence of billions of humans.
we’re fucked.
