"Call waiter" is also grade school "Pick me, I know the answer!"

Christopher Nolan hasn't made a truly good movie since The Prestige. Everything since then has been too long, too convoluted, and/or too loud (or in the case of Oppenheimer, not loud enough).

It's like getting a meme for nothing and the comments for free.

Netflix's product isn't really all that good anymore either.

The IRS top marginal rate in the 50s was 91%.

He had the fish removed from Picard's ready room and he killed that fish in his office on Mars. He must really hate fish.

If this was a game of Risk this would be the time to be piling up all your pieces in Alaska.

When the drive-thru is that backed up it's often faster to just park in the lot and order inside.

Honestly I wouldn't miss mosquitoes (at least the ones that bite humans).

The future could be a Mad Max-esque hellscape so while the people of the future may not look back on us fondly, they will look back on us enviously.

HR Jeff is the guy that insists that at least one of the office pizzas has some shit ingredient on it that most (if not all) of the rest of the office hates. But when the pizzas finally show up, he doesn't eat that claiming that he didn't see it or he forgot about it. Then when you go back for seconds, the only thing left is the pizza with some vile topping on it.

Fuck Jeff.

He is aware!

Clearly you're not a choosy mom.

The US government's standards for fuel economy paradoxically push car manufacturers to make bigger vehicles. The few mid-size pickups still available are now as big as full size pickups once were.

Give kbin.social a shot, as far as I can tell it doesn't even have a Cancel button.

It may already be happening. Do you find that when you face a random direction that more often than not it's toward the north?

I think it's the same hype train that said ten years ago that by now every vehicle would be self driving and all the truckers would be out of work. Or back when that first Avater movie came out that in a short while every movie and TV show would be in 3D.

I'm still not sure what the difference is. Boost is related to "microblogging" or something?

And if there's both upvotes and downvotes, why isn't there a "diminish" choice that's the opposite of boost?
