IMO this was a distraction for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I’d like to see that guy last more than 2 hours without food. Unbelievable.

Sugar, ultraprocessed food, shopping/overconsumption, porn, gambling. Lots of normal things condoned by our society can be addictive for a segment of the population.

Canadian commentary:

I know it’s difficult with corporate greed and price gouging right now, I’m not debating that.

I’m worried that the food that people gravitate toward is unhealthy, ultra processed and cheaper on purpose. You need to buy MORE of this kind of food to stay full.

The US has, in my understanding, a lot of food deserts where healthier options are not available and people are pushed to eat empty calories.

The late-stage capitalist system wears people so thin that the effort to find and cook cheap healthy meals can be overwhelming if you don’t usually do this.

Portions in North America are HUGE.

There are ways to eat for cheaper but I understand that takes effort. For example, I order a $23 CDN all in produce box to my door of oddly shaped/sized produce that feeds two adults for a week. The largest box at $49 easily feeds a family of 4. It takes effort to find and locate services like this. Only available in big cities too.

I guess what I’m trying to say is it seems like the structure of society and capitalism makes the impact of corporate greed RE: groceries SO much worse.

Not to mention the wars, gas, and housing prices.

I know a lot of people are low information but since this issue in my perspective is aggravated and accelerated by so many factors, it still baffles me that people accept the solution is more Republican trickle down economics and tariffs which seem like they’re just going to make the problem worse for everyone.

CNN has shifted to the right since their acquisition. I used to be ok with it but the quality of discourse, which wasn’t amazing in the first place, has declined to the point where it’s pretty unwatchable.

For example, Kaitlin Collins is a competent journalist, but she’s clearly been given a bigger role to appeal to right-wing viewers. Her background was the Daily Caller, I believe. Hardly a reputable institution, and I do question the integrity of someone who would work there in the first place. And she’s still one of the better ones.

They’re running an absolute clinic on how to tank a brand.

Isn’t it funny how the public servant basically manifested the home for her because she probably has a great lawsuit now?

The seats are haptic too. It takes forever to render the graphics apparently so maybe that’s why - not playback but rendering. Apparently After Effects will only go up to 12k?

I’m not super technical but I have been to the Sphere. It’s awesome.

There’s a good HBO series about this called 100 Foot Wave.

There’s definitely a racist subtext:

1. Imagine the Queen criticizing Kate for being “flamboyant.” This word echoes negative racist stereotypes disseminated by white culture of how Black women act and dress. Now to be clear there is nothing flamboyant about this dress and when compared with Kate both dresses are large and grandiose. It’s not just that she’s not “virginal” it’s the “in your face”-ness about it that the Queen has commented on. What did Megan do differently than any other Royal bride on her wedding day to stand out except be black?
2. it is possible that the dress appears to be whiter because Megan’s skin is darker, which is also subtly racist. Black women need to be relegated to a different shade of white when they’re divorced now? Come on.
3. Camilla the divorcee wore white on her wedding day to Divorced Charles the 3rd. She just had an ugly - and I might say quite flamboyant - overcoat over it.

I LOVE this.

My question is: What’s in giving these interviews and making these statements for him? He’s exited the role, he’s made himself clear about the stance he took when he was in the role. Why continue to talk?

When I leave a job and go somewhere new I’m not obsessed with dragging my old workplace.

It’s an assumption that intelligent life unknown to us is space faring.

Oh sorry I thought we were buying quality products for life in this community, how silly of me.

It’s insulated VERY well - that is one of the brand’s specialties.

What about a Zojirushi electric hot water boiler? Hot water every day on demand!

This is the one we have had since 2020 and we love it. 2 more friends have bought it based on our recommendation.

Maybe it’s Hugo ???

To be fair there are lots of movies that don’t deserve Best Picture and win anyway. Years ago, I couldn’t understand Slumdog Millionaire’s win. Love the Coen Bros., but clearly There Will Be Blood was the superior film over No Country, in my opinion.

My guy it is literally pinned.

The best anagram is Sunk Mole
