A reminder to always, always ignore the number that a company is suing for. That’s basically meaningless, its really just there to scare people and get headlines. The actual reality of the damages would get assessed during the actual trial, if it goes to one.

ACAB dipshits in the comments failing to realize the city of New York and the NYPD responded like they did precisely because he didn't file the paper work so nobody had any clue what was going on when thousands of people showed up at one spot and started getting unruly.

Minhaj. Hasan Minhaj. Not “Minaj” (as in Nicki). Come on, this was the single most easily-googleable part of the damn piece. (Especially after the controversy when he pointed out that Jon Stewart had been inadvertently mispronouncing his name the whole time).

Carrie Bradshaw was always a wish fulfilment surrogate. 

“This is another example of Diablo IV’s server disconnects”

Some editors cited the 20-Year Test, an old Wikipedia standard that suggests only things that will be remembered or understood in 20 years should receive articles. They believed this online meme didn’t pass the test and that in a few years, nobody would care about the Barbenheimer phenomenon.

“Honestly, it’s hard to imagine what else Reddit was thinking would happen.”
