Gun! Where we shoot the people who break the beige box where the magic happens.

I kind of thought this was the joke. Many many dystopian plots are about governments ran by corporations and filled with foreign spies.

The onion was overshadowed because it stuck to an old media style and had a clunky adaptation to the internet. They’ve got good content now with things like Click Hole and some YouTube content but it was many many years of trying to be an online newspaper and nothing else. The saving grace of The Onion and why it’s able to come back as strong as it has been is that it’s the holy grail for comedy writers so it still gets the best writers in the business.

This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

Well for one thing, it would go to a 7.5% decrease not sure where you split the hairs on that and as I mentioned that would be in the best case scenario where every last one of those 5 million votes went to Harris, which they wouldn’t. Comparing any of those to a .75% change makes it nuts.

DnD somehow tries to sell itself as a combat simulator. And yeah, it’s combat system is more fleshed out than many other roleplaying systems, but at the end of the day a lot of the combat interactions are down to the DM to decide so it ends up being a normal roleplaying game with the occasional stumble into a waste-deep muck or rule interactions for what ended up being almost no reason.

“everyone talks about how “hard” they’re working and grinding.”

Oh yeah? Who? Im willing to bet that everyone in the toxic “self help” podcasts he listens to talks about how hard he should be grinding while the people at his office live normal lives.

I get what your saying and I agree, but it’s funny/sad that you could add all 5 million of those votes to the Dems and the graphic would still be making the same point.

I don’t think it is a subcategory I think it’s the term you’re looking for.

The actual phrase has its origins in a financial sense but the way it’s used nowadays is much more broad. You can invest time, money, emotion, identity etc and it’s still the “sunk cost fallacy” if it keeps failing and you keep going.

Hell, infinite monkeys over a finite amount of time or finite monkeys over an infinite amount of time does the trick.

Why does a larger volume mean the feathers are heavier?

Facebook does the same thing. If you have good tracking protection/ad block it will even make you type slow.

Damn that sucks. It’s so arbitrary.

It’s a small enough industry with expensive enough parts. There’s probably exactly one and a half companies that make cases for uses like this that provide the furnishings for every natural History museum.

How do they keep track of you if you’re alone in the office? I’m just curious.
