i don't think he quite gets the finer art of psychotic web design, there's not enough font color changing, the background isn't a single tiled image and the graphics all look like someone was actually trying and knew what they were doing it's like how modern syfy cheesy movies are completely self-aware of how cheesy they are and it ruins the charm

colbert's character made the people he was satirizing seem silly and harmless. it's the same cutesy, jokey-joke attitude that caused fallon to stroke trump's hair. nothing to worry about, they're taking their lumps, see? o'reilly loved having colbert on his show for that reason

ate all the Oreos posted:i feel like satire like this in tyool 2018 is a bad idea Never mind the satire, the revelatory interview stuff is out of fashion. Getting somebody to admit on camera that they kinda think we should exterminate the Jews was shocking and shaming 10 years ago, but now we have people actually saying "Yes, let's exterminate the Jews" and winning votes by it. Revealing that the emperor has no clothes doesn't do any good when we've spent the past year or three having the emperor slap his wrinkly ballsack in our faces. (Stolen from this AVClub article)

7-11's food is always of reasonably good quality and much better than most other convenience stores  this might only be true in the south because i remember going off to college in new york and everyone there thinking i was crazy for saying i regularly got food from 7-11, apparently them having actually good food is a regional thing?

my friend who is a sales guy never drives anymore since he moved downtown and takes the metro to work reserved a model 3 like...a year ago or whenever. and he went for the total max ultimate super package, AWD and everything. with all the news he's like "yeah i don't think i want it" but posted some stuff on reddit about being able to pick it up soon and he had 5 DMs from different people telling him they'd pay 140% of his cost for the car if they sold it to him as soon as he could get it.
