The right is REALLY good at messaging it's insane. The culture wars they start have created a "bogeyman" and it's insane.

I really hate it and how it sticks to the zeitgeist. It just makes me sad.

Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it "manufactured discontent".

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

I have a Civic with a manual door handle, but after reading your comment ... I think I'm going to get one to leave in the car just in case.

The headline isn't telling a full story

Some of these include free fruit and beverages, fitness coaches in the gym, a sabbatical after four years with the company, and the grounding of the Intel Air Shuttle that flies between California, Arizona, and Oregon.

I'm a dual citizen from the UK/Canada.

I feel the same way after Brexit. I felt a huge sense of dread and my coworker said to me, "we work in a high paying position and we're men, we're mostly going to be okay. The people that voted for Brexit have just f*cked themselves and there's nothing we can do about it."

I do feel a lot of animosity to any Trump supporter and I feel that's warranted. I don't care to elaborate further. I'm thinking of dropping social media for the next six months because there's a lot of shit going on that I have no control over and I can't change.

When Terry Crews came out about his sexual assault. So many men publicly derided him. I felt so bad for Terry.

For the record, fifty cent, Vlad from VladTV, DL Hughley were those that made fun of Terry and some even insinuated he was possibly gay.

Yeah I stopped when Lane got there. Up until that point I was a staunch advocate of the show. I felt the finale and premiere of some of those seasons were some of the best TV I've seen.

I mean I haven't watched it since university, not sure if it holds up, but I remember it being amazing.

I never really understood the Rick and Morty joke until your comment: https://youtu.be/-ck-NLG_vIA.

I used to be that guy too. I used to be the idiot that recommended him to others as well. I followed him from NewsRadio, FearFactor and stuff too man.

Yeah I actively avoid anything related to that clown now.

 

Yes! A new ONN video and it's great!

 

The Onion News Network -- 11 years ago

 

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.

 

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.
