Yup. Lots of other celebrities, too. Full list for anyone interested: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090808434/

That’s totally erasing the born children’s ability to think critically. Loads of children from that environment grow up to leave it for the left. Speaking from experience

Sorry, I guess I don’t get the joke and what it has to do with this topic? Sorry again, I’m sure it’s really obvious, and I’m still just too fucked up about the election results to really joke about it yet

Tilda Swinton signed the petition to allow Roman Polanski to come back to the States

I don’t think that’s a crazy choice. I kinda wish I had had my tubes tied like many of my friends did when Roe was overturned. But then I wouldn’t have my wonderful baby son. It’s hard.

It’s truly awful. I can’t look anyone in their eyes. All I can think about are how many of them voted my rights away by electing Trump again. I’ve never felt so isolated and desperate. I’m in a red state that outvoted Democrats 2:1, so it’s extra bad.

I’m feeling like I never want to participate in community things around here ever again. No handing out candy, no helping neighbors shovel their snow, no making friends without asking who they fucking voted for. Hell, I don’t even want to travel to see my R-voter relatives for the holidays. I’m putting all visits on hold, which is gonna really piss them of, because this is the first grandkid’s (our son) first holidays.

To be honest, I’m feeling sick for even choosing to have him despite my better judgment, which is the worst feeling to have while looking at your baby. It was in a period of hope that maybe we’d be able to overcome that orange fucker’s influence, but now look where we are. I feel like I’ve sentenced him to a fate worse than death to have brought him into this world at this time in this country. Especially with the climate certainly being extra fucked now.

FUCK THIS.

What a horrible day to know how to read

Ancient wine was actually not very good

People are reenacting the point of the comic in real time, it’s wild.

You too, always good to start it off right with some good ol Lemmy hot takes on women.

Erase the last thought bubble and replace it with “It was nice to run into her, she’s so sweet,” and you’ll have something a bit more realistic and less incel-y lmao.

Women do actually like each other 🙄

For me, podcasts specifically about going to sleep to them trigger my contrariness too much to be actually relaxing. It’s gotta be on a normal topic that is just the right balance of interesting, but not exiting/engaging.

History typically scratches that itch for me. Dan Carlin’s hardcore history and the history of the English being the two goats that coke immediately to mind. Camp Monsters is also a great one; the rare fiction podcast that I can actually stand, much less relaxes me enough to sleep.

I herd we may be dropping to 60th here purdy soon 😡

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall’s/Homegoods as well.

Be so serious, Mariah Carey’s is far from the worst Christmas song in retail.

We already have, babe. Bodily autonomy for us is no longer a guarantee.

This is what 49th in education gets ya.

It basically sidesteps any conversation about what you mean. If you said to the line or to your fellow waiters “no cherries” that wouldn’t make any sense. Like, in what context would they guess you meant that? You’d at the very least have to say “we have no more cherries”, which is much longer than saying “86 cherries”.

If you mean in the context of the OP, though, then yes I completely agree, the customer was being extra and not actually shortening what they were trying to say.

I heard an interesting comparison lately saying basically that blaming the development of agriculture for late stage capitalism is like blaming calculus for the development of the atom bomb, and I would tend to agree.

It’s looking like agriculture was probably used originally to keep us longer in community at sites like Gobekli Tepe, and probably was absolutely life saving for us at that time.

The real issue arose from not persecuting those who would horde various types of wealth more severely (or at all).

Working in fast food is pretty different from full restaurants. I worked fast food first, never heard the term until I started waiting tables a few years later. In fast food, there’s not as much of a chain of communication that requires pass phrases to get info across quickly. Just one kid with an order terminal and another kid assembling the order as it was entered.

All of that aside, if I hear someone use that term IRL, it does tend to sound pretentious because you’re basically using jargon outside of its typical area of use and expecting everyone to know wtf you’re talking about. It’s almost like you want someone to ask, so you can be like “you don’t kNoW???”

Probably people don’t mean to come off that way, but that is the vibe I catch most of the time.
