Right, exactly. What I'm saying is why is the new spin supposed to be more automatically plausible than the explanation people have believed for thousands of years? I mean the weight of evidence is equal for both explanations

Ive got one in the opposite direction. It rustles my jimmies when we pick some great 80s or 90s movie to introduce to our kids, then we sit down and watch it, and its full of fucking foul language. I'm like I don't remember this! Apparently all that shit was edited out in the TV versions I saw...

I mean, people have been claiming demon encounters for millenia without proof. Then people have been claiming alien encounters for a few decades without proof. Why are aliens supposed to be obviously more plausible? Isnt "Alien" just the modernist skin people put on these same experiences?

Since the invention of TV, every time we've watched a politician talk we've been watching a man wearing makeup. Think about that. In normal everyday life if you ran into a dude wearing makeup you'd know he was a fucking crazy person and never listen to anything he says. The TV hides the...

Seriously, fuck any and every business of any size that operates through ""quotes"" Fuck the 3-4 guys who will rush in here to assure me that in their very important industry its very important that they operate through quotes List the fucking price. If "it depends", make a price table. For...

Its funny how common that error is. I've heard quite a few people say that. Its like a Mandela effect but for retarded people.

I feel like in 2023, if you complain that you've forgotten your password and cant get into something, the only response you should get from anyone is laughter. I mean, its 20 fucking 23 and you havent yet come up with some kind of system for avoiding this? Click the "password reset"? Use some...

Somewhat? By somewhat do you mean more or less than that laughable 1.9% estimate from the article? I do agree that inflation has slowed down and I do agree that building materials are doing well - in some cases I've seen actual price decreases. I say 1.9% is bullshit though. By a large margin.

I don't feel like doing that kind of homework this early in the morning on the weekend. We do have an entire thread devoted to people posting examples. Are you making the claim that yoy ex-shelter inflation is 1.9%?

Yeah, I guess I'm just saying this. The article seemed to make the claim that inflation is actually beaten, except for housing, which it claims is a different situation for various reasons. And the articles conclusion is that the Fed should stop raising rates as a result. This conclusion seems...

I can't get past this. This number is so far from reality I don't know what to believe from the article. Maybe theres some "official" source that matches this number. All I'm saying is, this number is fucking horse shit.

This is a good example of the lifestyle creep I bitch about from time to time. As a society our expectations for how a normal middle class person should expect to live have gone fucking bonkers during our lifetime. People usually bitch at me for political reasons when I bring it up, but...

Not trying to start a fight, but I find this kind of "archaeology" exactly as convincing as tarot readings. I buy parts of it, e.g. the carbon dating. Its the speculation that "hey this random ass rock or log looks like X" that I find laughable. Its literally people looking at cloud...

In the restaurants I worked in that served pizza, the dough was always made the night before. If we had to make another batch we were not allowed to use it til the next day. Aging appears to matter, probably to get that right stretchiness.

No, its what I've alway said - the fact that they dont stick to the source material in casting is a preview of their failure to stick to the source material throughout. As soon as raceswapped casting is announced, you can know in advance its gonna be garbage.

What I meant by hand tight was tightened by hand manually with a wrench rather than fucking absurdly tight with a power tool. The bolt in question cannot be accessed with a long wrench. Its a star head round bolt screwed into the bottom of the steering column. Screwed in with some kind of...

This is a recurring rustle for me so I dunno if I've posted before. It rustles the fuck outa my jimmies when bolts that have no reason to be tightened down like the fist of an angry god, are tightened down like the fist of an angry god. Then it gets stripped because they've tightened this...

literally not one person in my household drinks milk or eats it on cereal and we still use up at least a half gallon a week. wtf man

I watched this movie from a different perspective than most comic book movies, because of all the info before it was released. This was a movie about "what if the worst person in the world, just an absolute insufferable cunt with no redeeming qualities, had superspeed & time travel powers?"...

Absolutely. The Flash deserves all the hate it gets. But I've never been able to make it to the halfway point in either Shazam movie. These things are just so bad.

Following up on this because as a longtime Project Bluebook fan I don't understand the comment. Everyone I know from all walks of life thought those ridiculous Mexican ETs were the most obvious fakes they'd ever seen. What was the master stroke you're referring to?

The problem is we are fighting against this mentality. people who don't understand that zipper merging is the only acceptable merge shouldnt be allowed to drive.

Man, @BrutulTM picks some weird hills to die on. "how dare this guy complain about visible amounts of actual shit in his food, what a supertaster!"

Mahers a tool but he's 100% right about this. Its annoying how politicians - almost all of whome have never stared mortal danger in the face - constantly call suicide bombers "cowards". There are a whole lot of reasons to criticize terrorists and other suicide bombers. Cowardice is the single...

Youre right to wonder. Those kinds of numbers (claiming to show surprisingly high similarity between humans and bacteria or bananas) are calculated in a bullshit way that overstates the similarity. Those numbers are generally based on aligning all the genes that match, and estimating the...

Shrimp nuggets? What do you estimate is the probability that they deveined (removed the tube full of actual shit) those shrimp before grinding them up into nuggets? I don't like to come across as racist but I'm gonna have to say it here - shrimp served in a non-white establishment are...

The Beastie Boys are the shittiest and cringiest band to ever exist in any universe The Watcher himself recoils in horror and refuses to look in on our universe any more after witnessing one of their songs The only good thing about the 90s being over is that now the only reason anyone plays...

There is no fate too cruel for someone who orders chicken nuggets and calls them boneless wings.

Like I said, my comment wasnt about Swift. I agree that just a rich daddy wouldnt be enough to get her where she is. I'm just saying, if someones rich daddy paid to get them started in life, that fact alone is always deserving of mockery no matter how admirable the person may otherwise turn...

Look, I've got no opinion on Swift herself, but this is ridiculous. Having a rich daddy who helps start your career is the white equivalent of being an affirmative action hire. Its always appropriate to criticize anyone who gets their start that way.

This is one of the best picks yet for me. Great at first but after a while it became a change the station now song. Some of the shit in this thread cracks me up. For fucks sake, nobody ever liked Cotton Eyed Motherfucking Joe. This isnt just "songs I remember from the 90s"

Theres this funny thing that happens on FoH sometimes when someone makes a sarcastic post mocking another poster ... and it wraps around and turns into 100% gospel truth.

while you're right that its overplayed to the point a person could almost hate it, there is never a wrong time for Metallica so technically it doesnt count

Is this some fake Mandela effect shit? I've never heard of or heard that song before just now.

Yeah, its radio itself, not the decade. Even classic rock stations are unlistenable shit that end up making a person hate songs that were good in the first place. Its funny in the age of streaming music, where you can find thousands of examples of algorithm-generated playlists that are 1000x...

Ya know chuck, I never got why people give you so much shit around here. You always seemed like an alright guy. But then you reminded me of Jamiroquai's existence. So fuck you

No, thats inaccurate. 99% of youtube videos are some dude literally looking at the camera and talking, OR some dude talking while the screen shows a still image. Often rotating or panning over the still image while the dude talks. In both cases there was no fucking reason to make it into a...
