I always think of the scene in Pulp Fiction where they talk about a $5 milkshake. It’s supposed to be a crazy high price for a milkshake. Like something you would see and go “Whoa, HOW much? For a milkshake?!”

There probably isn’t a full-on list that just lays out who was all involved, line-by-line; but to believe that there is no information and no names to be revealed is to believe that Epstein was arrested and Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for the crime of trafficking no one, to no one, to engage in no acts.

If you want to be more realistic? Yes. They get captured and executed. The rest of the story shows all the Nazi’s living long, fulfilling lives and facing no consequences for any of their actions.

Every book be like “This is a protagonist, they have a conflict”. Why can’t they just be original?!

would be imprisoned

Hahaha! Oh surely they aren’t that naive! What about the world today makes them think anyone on that list will face ANY consequences, even if the list was released?

I think the question is, why are you bringing up millennials when the issue of microplastics did not start with them, nor will it end with them.

Sometimes you see data and just know that the methodology had to have been shit.

The average response thought 30% of the US was in NY?! No fucking chance.

From a selfish perspective, why should the entire populace be forced to give up small luxuries in their increasingly difficult lives just so that a handful of large corporations don’t have to make any changes?

Why isn’t it that these large corporations should be forced to change, thus removing the need for everyone getting rid of their small luxuries?

Just seems ridiculous that the message is “everyone should give up their creature comforts and live as simply and tediously as possible so that billionaires don’t have to change”.

You’re standing by a factory next to extremely loud machinery and complaining about the guy whispering next to you.

The internet’s opinion of Israel is changing, not sure how much is actually changing in the real world. The last election should have been a wakeup call to a lot of folks that the opinions they hear in their online echo chambers don’t match the opinions of the general public. The average voter is uniformed and doesn’t follow the news.

Gotta make the plebs think they’re really sticking it to the billionaires. Look at any story about them and it’s always desperate to paint billionaires as secretly miserable or like they spend even a single second worrying about what “the poors” think. Any, even mild, resistance is blown up and treated like a massive unified movement of the common man against the wealthy class.

Look at Bezos’ wedding. If you believed the BS here, you would think the entire city of Venice was taking a stand and making it hostile for him and that certainly his wedding would be a miserable experience full of protestors and anti-Bezos street art. In reality, barely 100 people ever protested. All the floats and signs you saw posted were performance pieces, quietly removed by officials minutes after they went up. In reality, Bezos and all his rich guests had a great time and didn’t see a single protestor because security wouldn’t let anyone unvetted come anywhere near the wedding party.

But… They’re right? The NWS did send out a warning shortly after 1AM. It was local emergency officials who dropped the ball and didn’t pass on the warning until 7AM.

Is everyone just too far in their bubbles now that they reject whatever actually happened in favor of whatever narrative their side of the internet made up?

I hate it here.

I have yet to see a single item have a significant discount on prime day, it’s not even a sale.

At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.

Third one of these comics I’ve seen in a short time. Are they supposed to be anti-jokes? None of them seem to have any sort of punchline…

Pixel has a built in feature that screens my calls and sends spammers to a bot. Graphene has no equivalent to this.

It couldn’t possibly related to a global decline in tourism, could it? No, obviously it’s this obscure manga 1999 that’s responsible.

Sopranos.

The Mafia and gangster genre has just never appealed to me. I always find the characters annoying and one-dimensional.

Explore, gather, craft, and build

Pass. Such a tired genre at this point.
