1.) I wonder if they had to re-title “Die Hard” for German markets so no one would think it was a porno.

2.) It’s weird the way post 9/11 America has fetishized security protocols like a badge of honour or legitimacy. A local sporting or entertainment event has extra anti-terrorism security and the local news reports it like “EVERYONE, WE’VE MADE IT, WE’RE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO WORRY!”

3.) The most interesting thing about “MRAs” & “incels” using the insult “cuck”: a cuckold is a guy w/ a sexual partner, it’s just his kink to watch his lover get it on w/ another. That guy knows what he wants & attracts partners to share it with, unlike the dudes using it as a slur.

4.) Your hipster astrologer is all like “I was into Mercury BEFORE it was retrograde.”

5.) If that’s what Post Malone looks like, let’s go back to Pre Malone please.

6.) While the Don’t Tread On Me flag has nobler origins in original context, it’s fascinating how these days it seems only flown (or bumperstickered) by the least-oppressed folk on Earth, middle-aged white men with expensive vehicles, trying to convince themselves they are oppressed.

7.) Watching Let’s Play footage of people playing VR games on youtube gives me motion sickness. I can’t be the only one here.

8.) If Weezer had died in a meteor strike after the release of their 2nd album, we would’a all spent the last 20 years asking “What if they had lived? They were just started on their road to doing amazing work!” but in this timeline, “Hash Pipe” was just on K-Rock and I’m like “nah”.
