there are some bands that count as Great but still, you don't need to listen to all of their albums. The Fall, for example

The Dave Clark Five Point Three

Hantavirus is no joke 😂 That's why I've started washing my hands after touching rat feces 🐀 What are doing differently to fight hantavirus?💪

could the world's most wistful songs please not also be super catchy? I'm looking at you, As You Turn to Go

Ibland när jag behöver småskratta en smula så letar jag upp den här

Pete Holmes is so likable

if you are in a relationship or something doesn't work and then later, you're in a different relationship where it extremely works, that means it wasn't your fault the first time. or anyone's necessarily

Social taboos eventually arise to neutralize new contagions

“China and Japan are jointly developing a next-generation plug called ChaoJi that can handle almost four times the power of NACS, the North American charging standard … If ChaoJi is adopted globally, U.S. cars would be stuck charging on a slower, older system.”

masterful gambit sir!

I love baseball

Jay Leno is the most forgettable entertainer in history. A nil. Unremembered and unloved

Because if they said anything at all the majority would have to admit that Alito is a liar

Don’t fall for it. The Make Teens Hotter Again Act is just another distraction from the … wait a second

WERE FINALLY DOING BUCKLEY V VALEO DISCOURSE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

by point of comparison watching a 4K movie on Netflix might use about 20 GB of data; reading a single article on a mainstream website without an ad blocker might download hundreds of megabytes of ads each time you load it

Someone tried to tell me that liking the Beatles was "basic" so I had to underground-and-eclectic-music mog her with obscure references before being like "and yes the Beatles are still better than all of that"

"negative reviews are illegal defamation" is not only a common view among business of all size, but lots of legal systems around the world are also "sure why not." German business routinely threaten legal action against three-star reviews

Homebrew on Linux should support installing Flatpaks (just like you can install GUI Mac software with casks)

It is my view that having a college degree should make you LESS employable
