I saved a comment from u/allmhuran posted to r/news on 2016-06-24:

"Australia has had five prime ministers in five years, the poor yanks look as though they’ll have to choose between two options both of which have more disapproval than approval, and the UK leaves the EU. It seems like a ridiculous amount of instability. One might even call it absurd.

But it’s not surprising.

You can’t feed a society exaggeration, hyperbole and propaganda for over a decade, and then claim surprise when people don’t seem to be making rational decisions on the basis of well established truth.

There’s a cost associated with not telling the truth. There’s a cost associated with polarized, adversarial public discourse. There’s a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

It is, apparently, time to pay the piper."

You’re probably thinking of @BeReady77@lemmy.world. I’ve been expecting another post any day but wasn’t anticipating a name change.

This could be turned into a game with some kind of narrative like a Choose-Your-Own-E.U.L.Adventure. Players might try to exploit it though, so there should probably be some terms they have to agree to first.

It might open an unwanted can of worms but maybe the drivers could claim they aren’t signing singing along to the radio but are vocalizing actions like Japanese train operators to ensure focus and safety.

Edit: I saw the sing and it opened up my eyes

Don’t know anything about him beyond this YT clip, but I’m hoping someone has eyes on Kline Preston:

I’m having trouble not seeing the farmer as trying to saw off his fingers with the edge of a crescent wrench.

Warp and weft…until it is done.

S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.

Firecracker:

Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don’t give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you’re a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?

When go to you

happen does How a typo this like even? It’s like they noticed the word “you” was missing and then decided to add it haphazardly. If “go to” was omitted it also would have been coherent.

In a Neal Brennan stand-up special (Piped link) he mentions he uses a Pavlok to shock him every 3 minutes on stage to remind him to smile.

Can they just insist it’s pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.

That YouTube tracking parameter is probably the one I encounter the most and it’s frustrating that the Firefox “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” doesn’t strip it out. I’m assuming it’s intentionally allowed by Mozilla because of some agreement with Google.

‘How’ what? Either their editors suck and missed the opening sentence or I’m just incapable of parsing English anymore.
