I’m of the opinion that somebody who thinks that criticizing the act of interviewing him and then reporting on what he said in the interview constitutes hypocrisy is not very bright.

Where’s VolunteerTherapist when you need ‘em

It works for both. They’re not abbreviations. I’ve seen them and other words of their ilk (“kinda”) referred to as relaxed pronunciations (or condensed pronunciation or even word slurs)

Does he think he’s helping? Does he think all the conservatives who’ve spent decades planting seeds and cultivating their ultimate goal of a theocratic fascist police state are gonna say “Wait - we can’t lose Billie Joe!”

“we’re ... positioned”

Yeah it’s Canadian, but not Quebec French as I learned French in Ontario’s French Immersion program - hence it’s (broadly speaking) Parisian French. But not surprising. When I lived in Quebec, all my friends there never missed an opportunity to tell me how much the French view Quebec French as an inferior brand of the

I’ve never been to France, but French is the one other language I’m pretty fluent in so I’m kinda curious how it would go for me there.

The problem there is more the class of tourist who - of all places - elects to go to Miami. That’s a pretty crafty life hack tho. But I imagine if it was *that* common, US Customs would significantly up the hassle to the point that it wasn’t worth it and word was sure to be passed around. And perhaps they have.

Don’t you choose the amount to preauth? All the stations I go to let you select a maximum.

Often the “ugly” tourist in a given location is the one in which the destination is close enough that it’s available to the ... lower class of tourist. An American in Thailand is more likely to be a discerning American traveler, the same way an Australian in Mexico is less likely to be there just to get hammered and

If you’re in a busy place like a store or a restaurant, particularly one that is in a tourist area, don’t bother trying to speak the language - the primary goal is economic efficiency and if they speak English, trying to speak the language can come across as more performative than anything.

That’s a sincere line of reasoning put forth by anti-abortion interests (that a fetus is “life” by broad definition, therefore abortions are amoral prima facie.) Clearly I’m not changing his mind, but it’s still worth the rebuttal for the benefit of others who may find it useful. Additionally, I think your assertion

Third, how do we consider bacteria life on Mars, but cells don’t count as life on Earth

That is legit my favorite music video ever

That’s pretty great that his look was informed by Aphex Twin’s “Come to Daddy”

He cavalierly destroys retail property by stomping on a giant toy piano in Big.

no mass consumer electronic manufacturer in their right mind would go with water cooling - more mechanical parts, louder, servicing considerations, and in failure, water damage

yeah, gee, either a dude who rebuilt his own watercooled ps5 is uploading his million viewer videos at 240p, or maybe there’s an error /w youtube or something on my end”

Consoles are sold either on a loss or on extremely thin margins. Machines that die cause a certain number of people just to exit the brand, or in the least damage the value of the brand with the consumer. Console makers make their money on accessories and games.
