The Culture Wars

[nimic]

Two more casualties of the culture war. Only one side is doing the killing, but hey, at least it gets the base riled up for the election.

That app aside, one which scans items and links them to corporations and demonstrates their supply chain, profit margin, employee status, and general interlinkage within the economy. That is an app well worth making (with revenue and taxation statistics too).

All for it, but that app would never be legally allowed to be made.

Infringement? Or just sued to pieces because no one wants anyone knowing that stuff?

Yeah, proprietary rights, infringement, etc.

Great idea, just too many hurdles to overcome.

The kid looks like he did the reverse wish from Big and still has his adult clothes and moustache.

Posted this in another thread a bit ago, but I defy anyone to tell me her actual age.

She just turned 30.

That's Julian Nagelsmann in disguise.

'Why does he look like both the pedophile and the victim' is a brilliant comment on that tweet.

WTF is wrong with her face? Seriously, what happened?!?

EDIT: Quick google reveals this guy is to blame. The truth is truly stranger than fiction...

This just made me laugh out loud.

I've had servers in their 20s go the same plastic surgery route as LL, wanting to look older & more dignified, but it often was a fool's errand.

Servers?

 

[calodo2003]

Servers?

Managed them in restaurants.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Managed them in restaurants.

Ah. Gotcha. I’d call them waiters. To differentiate them from IT hardware.

'Server' is an androgynous term as 'waiter' & 'waitress' have defined sexes to them & is a bit outdated.

Don't see even the most sentient AI machine needing cosmetic surgery, but who knows what tomorrow may bring!

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Servers?

Wait staff.

Edit: I see you have been informed.

What's the androgynous term for bus boy?

 

[calodo2003]

Server assistant or SA.

I'm confused by the kid, is that legit moustache and if so how old is he actually, is he a dwarf?

So “Barbie” is the real cautionary tale. “Oppenheimer“ just rehashed fake news.

Seriously, do these people exist in real life?

 

[berbatrick]

Is it always a complaint that people are paying attention to the current thing when they should instead be paying attention to a specific obscure right wing obsession (usually something about Hunter Biden)?

Or is there a belief that anything that gets a lot of coverage on CNN is through such rendered an invalid thing to pay attention to?

I always find the trouble with these types of posts is that the reasoning behind them is so mind-bogglingly stupid, I find it hard to express just how ridiculous it is. Do they really think that all of those issues are irrelevant to our lives and that 'the media' shouldn't even be bothered to discuss it? That climate change is new for this year? That the other problems have just disappeared? What do they think we should be interested in?

We might need a New York Times thread to go with the Guardian thread.
