the fact that employers are allowed to snoop on their employees' personal social medias, and that employees are expected to never speak ill of their jobs, is fucking dystopicJesus Christ lmao
- there is an astoundingly high population of adults in the United States who are native English speakers, but who quite literally cannot read beyond basic words and phrases. it's just that most of them have spent decades concealing it through elaborate shortcuts and guessworkMy Roman Empire: Illiteracy is so common that when someone online misunderstands something you said and gets angry at you for something you didn’t even say, there’s a very good chance thet they literally just can’t read.
- "Press F to Pay Respects" is maybe the most fascinating internet meme of all time to me because it's become so universal that it's just a feature of the English language now. it doesn't even register as a reference, "F" is just a way to respond to something going wrong
- "suddenly i am totally ok with these" is literally exactly what they want Boston Dynamics has military contracts. these fucking robots will get used as tools of the carceral surveillance state, and videos of them being "cute" are propaganda to make people comfortable with that
- look, i'm as staunch of an atheist as they come, but this guy is REALLY not beating the Antichrist allegationsMr. Beast says he will run for President if they lower the age requirement.
- now that i drive regularly, i've become so fascinated by just how terrible and dangerous the median American driver is. like, all of the rules you have to learn to get licensed seem to slowly get replaced with "take the most selfish and impatient action at any given time"

not to be disrespectful, but imagine how good my chemical romance would be if there were a third planeReaders added contextThere were four planes en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/September…- one of the most spiritually evil films ever made. the Boomer manifesto: "i am stupid and incurious, and that's why my life was awesome"
- this video, "Discombobulate", and the edit of the Matrix subway fight where Neo just keeps doing the throat chop over and over all belong to a genre unto themselves. they're masterpieces. immaculateDragonball: Evolution (2009) BEST SCENE
00:00 - the USDA for no reason:
USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November. Follow live updates. cnn.it/3LB4GwG - okay what the fuck THAT'S what Ötzi looked like when they found him???? i assumed he was like, mostly encased in ice like a cartoon caveman, not emerging like a damned soul climbing out of Hell to take revenge on the livingIn 1992, when hikers found Otzi, the 5000 year old ice man, this is what they were wearing
Readers added contextThe two men in the picture are mountaineers Reinhold Messner and Hans Kammerlander, photographed with Ötzi two days after the actual finding by German tourists Erika and Helmut Simon on September 19, 1991. iceman.it/en/the-discove… researchgate.net/publication/22… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi - the thing about this is that he went so hard on "I AM ADOLF HITLER" that i think people forget that the rest of this rap is fucking AWFUL like holy shit. negative flow
