So this may also be me being involved in idiocy but there ya go. There's been a front page headline on the BBC about a family that spent 17k on a skiing holiday for 20 people and the chalet won't refund it because the chalet is still open technically. This bothered me so I went on a Facebook rant...



Most people after saying that was cheap kinda got the point I was making... Except this girl... (I'm orange, she's green. There's a few bits missing because my friend took screen shots before it got deleted)







Then our mutual friend deleted the whole thing, I put some screen shots on my Facebook and got this message...




Which, obviously, I also uploaded.

Kept us all entertained for a morning anyway.

(Couldn't really work out if she was actually trying to be sarcastic about not having money but it didn't come across well. Incidentally, her Facebook background is two fancy cars, one with a personalised numberplate)

You really did show your entire rear end in this one.

And this attitude right here is what makes you a clown.

Like, I know that you, just like any of the multitude of boring fucks who hides their insecurity behind a thin veneer of "well I'm a prick sometimes, whatcha gonna do?", has to some degree a conception of themselves as some sort of bad boy wearing a leather jacket with "Tunnel Snakes Rule" written on it and who constantly has a toothpick hanging out of their wry smirk. But to everyone else you're a pale buffoon sporting a riotous mix of technicolor spots, stripes, and tartans who alternately honks and shits themselves with every step.

Oh, not in the mould of Xth wave feminism, I'm talking about people who are implicitly antifeminist but who masquerade as feminists using an anti porn platform - kinda like TERFs who claim to be feminists but who use arguments like "transwomen aren't women because giving birth is the defining factor of womanhood."

It’s a drop in the bucket even if all 230k+ were diehard chuds. More zoomers have grown to voting age since 2016 than all americans have died period, of all causes, since then, and about 30% of them who could voted in 2018. This is still not good news for the GOP.

Tik tok and kpop > fascism

E: and they weren’t all chuds, one of them was my grandma who spent a few years in a concentration camp and who was yelling about Hitler and FDR at her idiot kids during the height of GEB worship in Texas. Just wanted to shout her out, badass lady.

While I admit that younger voters tend to vote left and that there has been a trend of increasing progressiveness in subsequent generations generally speaking, young people ageing up into voting age isn't the100% left-leaning panacea that a lot of people seem to suggest that it is. There are plenty of young racists, young people who have been trained by their fuckwit parents to fear black people, incels, chudlings and fundies amongst their ranks, and 'but surely once the next generation is in charge bigotry will be finally over' sadly isn't going to happen, because it didn't happen the last few generations either. Consider what the 60's flower children generation has turned into..

Wrestling also tends to have a very large minority fan base. There's an older survey showing it leans pretty democratic.

I'm genuinely surprised it's not even more minority/rainbow-friendly similarly to sports like roller derby given its reliance on drama, outlandish stage personas, and unbridled camp.

Also you missed the best bit:

Monroe, having become the biggest wrestling draw in the territory, soon refused to perform unless patrons, regardless of their race, were allowed to sit in any seat at the Ellis Auditorium.[4] As a result, the promoter was obliged to desegregate his wrestling shows, which then completely sold out with Monroe's black fans, in some cases over 15,000 at a time,[4] filling the auditorium. Soon, other Southern sporting events, recognizing the enormous financial benefits, began to desegregate as well.[7]

one of my old coworkers pretty much only posts things about WandaVision and tons of photos of her and her husband in Wanda and Vision cosplay at their home

but she was pretty normal in person so :shrug:
May not be the most on-topic question, but seeing as it was mentioned:


So I've never seen the show, neither myself nor my friends/family have Disney Plus. About the only thing I know about it is the premise for the first episode is something like "Wanda and Vision are living in some sort of 50's sitcom pastiche".

Is it the case that Wanda, after the trauma of seeing her husband die in Infinity War, has gone a bit crazy and her powers completely out of control and are unconsciously manifesting a life for them together in an idyllic stereotypical household?

If I'm right about this, how many people saw this as some sort of revelatory twist rather than (IMO) pretty much the obvious way to go given the show's initial premise?

I don't know if it's just me but in the US, in my experience at least, nobody knows another person's bank account number, god no. That would be like someone giving you power of attorney, or that's what it would feel like you're asking them for.

In Australia we have payid. You tell the bank which mobile phone number to link to your account, and then anyone who has your phone number can just go online and tell their bank "transfer $x to this phone number's linked account" and they can transfer the money without ever knowing any of your bank details, for free. It makes splitting bills at restaurants really easy because I can pay and all of my friends can instantly transfer the money to me for their meals quickly and easily, and if they use the same bank the money is in my account and available literally before we're out the door.

The Mitchells vs The Machines might be of interest to you

This was a thoroughly enjoyable movie that was visually amazing, but I honestly can't decide whether the queer representation in it was respectfully low key and not central to the conflict in support of normalisation, or low-key enough to ensure that Sony could receive accolades for it while having it fly under the radar for most chuds and being able to release it in turbo-homophobic markets via changing a single pronoun in a line of dialogue and changing a button.

Yeah, there has been bit of a trend for a certain subset of terminally online people to laud their introversion as being some sort of a badge of superiority with social media posting and other performative "well acktually introverted people are the smart ones" bullshit. This comic definitely smells faintly of it.
