Also Kevin O'Leary is just objectively insane - why would Momdani want to hear him rave for an hour

Yeah, weird how they aren't arguing that there's biological proof for Hijras, who have existed longer than modern Europe

Ugghh. Once we get much past "We evolved to think most nutritious things taste good and most bad things to eat taste bad" I think it's pretty ridiculous to try and explain behaviors as 'ingrained'

It's like when they were threatening that there'd be taco trucks on every corner

I don't think they've lost touch with anything. They're actively doing everything they can to further the goals of the people paying them. Their literal job is to be obtuse doofuses who 'just happen' to always land on conservative ideas as being most correct.

Or even consistently. I was googling prices for something and the 'AI Overview' said it cost $20,000. Refreshed the browser and it said $25,000. Basically any math it does is gonna work like that. Can't believe people take these things seriously

I've honestly thought of South Park as just lazy - name literally anything and its stance is "I SHIT ON IT!!!!" I've treated the creators as low-effort numpties who just run the same filter on everything. I don't think it matters to them a lot what the target is, but that's hardly a defense of them.

I don't know, there's some media where it's definitely OK to just get highlights. SNL usually has like ten funny minutes throughout an entire season. Having to sit through the entire thing just to see them would be mind-numbing

I think there's going to be a bubble burst for some social media sites because they're hiding that their 'users' are mostly bots, and the ads they sell aren't being seen by many humans anymore

If you talk to Caesar he has a really in-depth explanation of why he set up the Legion as it is and the reasoning behind everything he does. It's of course all monstrous, but it's interesting to see that there's a very coherent driving philosophy for everything.

When I was in Shanghai, it was really common in snack sections of stores with other dried fruit, and then the fruit markets carried the fresh ones.

Yeah, I was pleased that it wasn't some Terminally Online Only or highly political word

It's semantic broadening from unprotected sex to more generally going into something with no protection or prep. Don't know how long it's existed, but this Reddit post from a year ago talks about 'rawdogging Thanksgiving' - ie spending it without drinking

I can't bear the thought of rawdogging Thanksgiving tomorrow. What should the rules for a Macy's Parade drinking game be?

Those of you saying this isn't the real meaning, you're right. That's why 'Rawdog Simulator' is about having unprotected sex with planes

That's been my understanding, yeah. That they just walked in without any prep or protection
