Agreed. 0/10.

WTF? NO.

Welcome to the club!

What a handsome tuxedo cat! 🥰

Sending good vibes your way! Dogs are great but occasionally SO STRESSFUL.

My dogs are also shameless chicken thieves. Since she ate cooked chicken bones, you should monitor her closely--the cooking process renders them brittle and makes them very dangerous for dogs. They can cause internal lacerations/perforations/obstructions, and other problems. Just keep an eye out. 🤞

Sounds like something that requires antibiotics. 😛

WTF is a Mii?

Oof, BlueSky threw a fit there and posted my reply fourteen times or so. /o\

So what I'm getting is that the next time you and I are in the same country, we need to watch Titanic together so you can infodump cool Titanic facts at me?

Kind of like how we still use the disk icon to denote "saving" a document, even though disks haven't been around for about two decades.

He can't be a particularly good Catholic if he's going to truck with a man committing heresy...

a man and a woman are looking at each other and the man is asking " both " Alt: Miguel and Tulio (a man with shoulder length blond hair and a goatee, and a man with dark brown sideburns and a chin strip) look at each other, nodding, then nod to the camera. The dialogue reads: "Both?" "Both?" "Both." "Both is good."

I'm more of a "hard no" about humiliation, and my cats routinely try to live inside my ribcage, so I'm not sure where this "aloof" reputation came from. And I adore my dogs, who also would like to live inside my ribcage.

It's weird that so many people think you have to choose one or the other.

Thank you! I am looking for a more "journalist" approach, but any and all recommendations are most welcome!

Biographies preferred, as opposed to memoirs or curated diaries/journals.

Friends, who has recommendations for really good biographies written about not-famous people? I'm talking ordinary citizens who led interesting lives but didn't necessarily change the course of history or leave a lasting cultural memory.

Do they expect us to start digging bunkers in our back yards (for those of us who even have back yards)? Like, what sort of panic on my part would do anything to change this outcome?

I understand contacting your politicians, etc., but that only goes so far...

I get that’s what it means, but I don’t understand WHY, if you follow. Because of course if you hit a dog it will yell, because you HIT IT. It doesn’t mean it deserved to be hit.

a man talking to another man with the words that do n't make no sense behind him Alt: (From the movie O Brother Where Art Thou) A white man with buzzed brown hair in a dirty shirt shaking his head and saying: “That don't make no sense.”

I have never understood the expression “A hit dog will holler.”

Why are we hitting dogs? And yes, of course if you inflict pain on a dog (or any animal) it will cry out. Why are we taking this as an indicator of guilt?

I didn’t mean licensing. I meant ban them all. They’re all scammy to varying degrees.

a man in a suit and bow tie holds his hand to his forehead in front of a chalkboard that says subject Alt: Jack Black (a white man with floppy brown hair parted on the right) saluting aggressively in front of a blackboard in the movie School of Rock.

Happy to take one for the team!

I understand why Theroux didn't go harder after these men, because he needed them to open up, but goddamn it made for a difficult watch.

I desperately need a shower after watching that.

Some final thoughts from Theroux, and some "where are they now" updates on the influencers shown (Dude no. 1 has a suspended sentence for a traffic violation, Dude no. 3's girlfriend left him).

And the last shot is a cute little bit of self-deprecating humour from Theroux.

And now they're showing what little boys just starting out on YouTube (is it older footage of some of the influencers? I am not sure).

"I'm real, I'm raw, I don't edit" (I'm paraphrasing.), but his entire existence online is highly edited and curated.

If you're even a little bit familiar with the manosphere, this won't teach you anything you don't already know. It's well done, but it's a hard watch, even though I think Theroux is being comparatively gentle with these men in an attempt to get them to open up to him.

She has walked away. He is breaking out in a flop sweat.

She looks like she wants to throw him over her knee and spank the antisemitism out of him. (Note: I do not condone corporal punishment of children, but he's a grown man.)

HE'S A MOMMA'S BOY. BECAUSE OF COURSE HE IS.

And she's putting him in his place right sharp.

He is NOT enjoying Theroux quoting him back to himself in front of his mother. His mother is unimpressed. OMG, her FACE.
