Yeah, but isn’t it in the pantheon of Movies Everyone’s Seen like The Wizard of Oz and The Matrix?

Is there a word for memes that totally lack the context of their original images to the point of being opposite the intention of the creator?

Because I think the next scene is Ledger’s Joker setting that pile of money on fire.

That’s the reason protein has always been popular.

It’s even more popular today beause GLPs, the weight loss drug that actually works, cut our caloric intakes so severely we might not get enough protein.

What you’re seeing with all these high-protein foods is a society adjusting to spending their food budget on pharmaceuticals.

Depression is not an medical issue and autism is not an illness.

It’s a process. Eventually, you’ll figure out what you like and you’ll have a reliably stocked pantry to whip up a meal you’ll enjoy on short notice.

Right now, I’m going pretty basic: rice + beans + veg + cheese + olive oil + spice–most. everything made ahead of time, before I get hungry.

I think the reason the myth of Vietnam veterans being spit on is so prevalent is because its a way for people who supported the war to avoid responsibility for sending people to be traumatized by a meaningless war.

Fighting an unjust war is like pouring gasoline on the fire of PTSD. World War 2 vets went through hell, but at least they know their sacrifice was, in some sense, worth something. When a soldier is fighting an unpopular war in the service of empire, the psychological burden will be much higher.

I don’t know… I’d say people have this attitude more towards blind hatred. I’ve been seriously dogpiled for pointing out an inconvenient fact… you simple can not derail a hate train.

And there is the “bonk! go to horny jail!” meme.

I’m just happy when they don’t add a ton of sugar to sushi. seriously, what the hell is that?

I don’t know that you’d even want to serve truely authentic food since you want to appeal to local tastes. See: Chinese Food in the USA.

Many of the Greek-owned Italian restaurants and diners in my are being transferred to Albanians, but the language in the kitchens is invariably Spanish.

What you’re hoping for is that governments go back to protecting people instead of being used by the rich to transfer wealth from the citizenry.

Everyone knows gambling has zero social benefit and does a lot of harm. But none of that matters because you can show up to a few congressmen with a few thousand dollars and they’ll do what you tell them, and no other congress critters will get in their way because every other congresscritter wants support for their grifts.

Government is working hard to find a million ways to redistribute wealth upward. Public advertising of gambling is just one more sign of corruption.

It’s more satisfying to downvote it.

That might have been a comment more about OTTERS specifically than extroverts. They are, after all, carnivores; the males are also inter-species rapist necrophiles.

No, it’s still profitable by sales, but not profitable by politically-motivated IRS investigations and anti-trust enforcement and arbitrary tarrifs. I don’t think the consequences of a fully politicized regulatory system has come into view yet.

3D movies of the past were filmed fixed stereoscopic; not sure why they’re referring to 3D films as “faked”.

Whatever the case, 3D films in VR are a real experience, much better than 3D in the theaters.

Legit some Christians think Heaven will be Heaven because they will be enjoying watching the eternal torment of the sinners below.

No, I get it, the problem the way we’ve chosen to build society, but now that it is the way it is, judges and juries are reluctant to ban someone from working and buying groceries for anything less than a prison sentence…

Like it’s pretty crazy to me that the State (USA) can seize you car if you transport drugs with it, but not if yoU literally run over a human being. People with multiple violations and triple-suspended licenses still get to keep their cars.

What’s worse is that WAY too many people have no option BUT to drive

That’s exactly why it’s treated as a right. Can’t drive?Can’t live.

Mutually Asssured Destruction is an easily technolngically achievable goal, that’s why we don’t see much development past that point. You only need to exterminate an enemy’s population once.

The lesson learned by the world, at this point, is that nukes are the only way to guarantee your country isn’t invaded and that agreeing to unilateral nuclear disamament is downright idiotic. Expect more countries gettng nukes this century.
