“Obama is an Arab.” “No, he’s not, he’s a decent family man and citizen.”

Even when I was a lib I thought that take was condescending and racist as fuck. Arabs can’t be decent or citizens? WTF John, and WTF libs for thinking that’s taking the moral high ground??

I actually like how younger people are going more minimalist in their fashion taste. Lots of reappropriation of stereotypical work clothes, like Dickies pants, overalls, stuff like that. That’s a neat trend I’ve noticed.

Ngl, I unironically love rugged workwear, especially winter clothes. When I was 18-19 I had a Craftsman duck canvas jacket that i found at a thrift shop. It was heavy as hell but warm and comfortable. It became my preferred style even though I don’t work construction or anything like that.

I catch myself rewinding them over and over because steps happen too fast or are not clear enough. Worse so ever since YouTube fucked up the seek bar in the mobile app so it’s more difficult to precision seek a video.

Software tutorials especially. Even worse are the ones that are screen recorded off a 4K desktop so that unless you’re also watching the video at 4K, you’re not gonna be able to see where the mouse cursor is because the compression makes it almost invisible.

I wouldn’t blame it on the current generation, though. People my own age do this shit too.

I shouldn’t complain too much because it’s free tech support and they’re making these videos for no money , and probably for a program that I pirated.

This is in a lot of shows and not just sitcoms, but I hate contrived argumentative dialogue that’s set up so that the protagonist always gets the last word with “witty” responses/comebacks. It’s like watching a “I’m the attractive Chad and you are the ugly NPC” meme in real time.

Every time the weather goes out of whack, some huge torrential storm or freak wildfire, people (particularly chuds who think climate change is a hoax) will be quick to say it’s weather modification or HAARP or some shit.

I always loved the idea of the massive, galaxy-spanning Jedi Order being reduced to just Yoda and Obi Wan, and with both of them dead by the end of the trilogy, Luke is their only hope to rebuild it.

All these Jedi survivors that keep getting introduced in the shows really cheapened Luke’s character arc IMO. What’s the point of acting like Luke is the only one to continue the Jedi legacy if there are about 5 dozen Jedi bopping around elsewhere? (Although I’m sure they could retcon it and say Luke is the only one who can unite them all.)

If Disney wanted more movies and shows with more lightsaber shit, they could have easily made something that takes place a couple hundred years in the past (the Jedi have supposedly been around thousand of years). Why cram all of the new storylines within a ~30 year time span and have them all include or revolve around the Skywalkers in some way?

Before Louis Pasteur’s disproving of spontaneous generation, most people believed that bacteria and putrefactive organisms like maggots etc. spontaneously poofed into existence, like a video game character spawning. Pasteur suggested that maggots came from flies laying their eggs on rotting meat etc, and that bacteria were everywhere and will multiply quickly under the right conditions. A lot of people at the time thought these were crackpot ideas.

Every reggae song is by Bob Marley.

IP owners know an increasing number of people are giving up streaming services and going back to physical, so they’re raising the prices on physical to make up for the loss.

Pirating will always be the way.

Lmao holy shit this unlocked a memory. As a kid I’d post on a Hey Arnold fan forum in 1999-2000, and I remember the absolute hate train that Spongebob got from the posters there.

I didn’t think much about Spongebob myself for a couple years until I saw the episode “Band Geeks” in like 2002.

Also Rocket Power… That was one of those shows that merely existed. I didn’t encounter anyone who had anything bad to say about it, but I was hard pressed to find a diehard fan. All I remember about it was the dialogue was “hello, fellow kids” tier (even moreso than a typical Nick show) and full of slang that was about 10 years out of date by 1999.

The small business tyrants in my city like to threaten hiring freezes or say they will stop giving raises any time it looks like even the most milquetoast lib Democrat is ahead in the polls during election season.

Instead of telling them off for this retaliatory sore loser dogshit behavior, people applaud them for sticking it to the lefties or whatever.

I wouldn’t say “completely fucked”, but for a few years I noticed YouTube on Firefox has this occasional quirk where videos will quit playing and infinitely buffer at the exact same timestamp. Like there’s no way around it except skipping about 30 seconds ahead with the seek bar, or doing a Ctrl-F5 (hard refresh) and starting the whole video over. Opera GX doesn’t seem to have this problem at all.

But it’s still not a big enough deal to make me give up Firefox completely.

That’s pretty much all mainstream news now. The worst is articles that are just tweets of people reacting to what happened.

Wokism is the belief that all food should be cooked in woks.
