There's plenty of words he just uses wrong, and perfect is a memorable one. Remember his "perfect" phone call with Zelensky?
"As a black gay man, I can say..."
Sorry, did you just try to introduce an ideology test for who's allowed to be considered a "true" atheists? I must have missed where atheism has a spiritual authority who can excommunicate me if I don't act the way they like.
I dunno. It gets a little stale after a while.
The thing is that if you do a full ban, savy lawyers always find little holes in the law to still do it a little. If you leave a little, they'll find ways to do it a lot.
Wrong use of POV. The real POV when working with short people is a bird's-eye view.
I mean, a win's a win. It's still odd to me how there's so many posts on Imgur mocking folks who never see any injustice until it affects them personally, yet in this case we somehow decided to idolize a man for it. It's not like he wrote a song about systemic issues. He basically wrote diss tracks about specific people who wronged him specifically. The fact that his experience is relatable doesn't mean he cares about other people.
Look, it's wise that you don't want to jump on every outrage that's shoved in your face, and I agree people sometimes let their experiences guide them without noticing that those don't apply anymore. We're all human. But this wasn't 2016. It was 2024. Trump was NOT in office. What he was is a convicted rapist and somebody who had attempted a coup. You can speculate about motives, fears, ignorance, but in the end, there's a simple point: It's not unjust to judge people by their actions.
He would send people into a running buzz saw if he thought it would make him look good.
POV: no one: TFW
Am I just jaded or is it normal to think that 38% of presidents being corrupt isn't even much? Like, is your point that South Korea weaponizes corruption accusations, or that they have too much corruption, or that they corruption there has consequences?
Imagine if it wasn't about drugs, but about e.g. being trans. Should a trans artist who made a song about a celebrity being trans accept the hand of a guy whose election campaign was partially built on weaponizing transphobia?
I don't know about you, but making a song mocking Hunter Biden for struggling with addiction and shaking Trump's hand when he approaches you over it is a pretty messed up thing to do. Whether you're MAGA or just useful to MAGA for selfish reasons is kind of moot.
As someone for whom English is a foreign language, can I ask... Is "not very much at all" a normal thing to say? It's definitely a thing I've heard from Trump before, but isn't it kind of inconsistent? "Not very much" means "a little", "not at all" means "not even a little", so what the heck is "not very much at all" supposed to mean? Are these people copying his speech patterns to signal their loyalty, or is that something actual normal people might say?
If a person tells you that a saying "used to be longer", you shouldn't believe them without looking it up.
Indeed. Apparently it can be mapped to certain genetic factors. Whereas e.g. central Europeans in general tend to have "creamy" earwax, it's much more common to have dry earwax in e.g. southeast Asia, which is why there are traditions in some of those countries to have your ears cleaned with little picks as a sort of spa treatment. You might even see that practice referenced in anime occasionally, such as (IIRC) an episode of Komi Can't Communicate.
I think you mean there are obvious reasons, but we haven't gotten any excuse?
Sucking up to Bibi, distracting from Epstein, creating an excuse to cancel the midterms...
Releasing the compromising material is ultima ratio when blackmailing somebody, similar to how killing a hostage means you don't have a hostage anymore. The US president will have to go against Russian interests a lot more before Vladimir Putin lets go of his... trump card.
But what if the world was made of pudding?
Is #6 a real quote by her? Because damn that's accurate.
(proceeds to hint that the parents should pay for his kiddie-diddlie menu to thank him for the tremendous job he's done)
"Operation Epstein Fury" nails it.
Oh please, 2026 doesn't even try. The lies in 2001 were transparent and the illegality of it was fairly see-through, but at least they waited for the right moment to reap the fruits of narratives they had planted for years. By comparison, this time it's just new bullshit made up on the fly each day, and they don't even bother getting their stories straight - that is if they even bother making excuses at all and not just say "It was justified and good.".
"decided"
That was my first thought. Getting run over while the eyes stare at you and a voice says "I see you."
C'est la vie, cherchez la femme, voulez-vouz coucher avec moi! Rien ne va plus.
Why do you hate science?
#35 The colour's name "Olo" comes from 010. It had that name because it targets the eye's "middle" cone M fully, but not the other two cones S and L. The problem is, there is no area in the spectrum of light that would cause this, as the M cone's "responsibilities" overlap with the other two. So the only way to make a human perceive Olo is to directly and exclusively target the M cones in the retina. It's a sensory stimulus, not a light frequency, which is why you can't reproduce it on screens.
Twenty years ago, "President feeds athletes McDonald's" would have been a predictable, elitist newspaper comic punchline about how Americans have no culture. America truly became its own parody.
