Except medieval peasants had more holidays than modern Americans
  • It's always funny when these dense contrarians completely bowl over the point of the person they replied to and respond to a non-sequitur showing that they're uninterested in anything resembling a conversation.

  • The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’
  • The onion was overshadowed because it stuck to an old media style and had a clunky adaptation to the internet. They've got good content now with things like Click Hole and some YouTube content but it was many many years of trying to be an online newspaper and nothing else. The saving grace of The Onion and why it's able to come back as strong as it has been is that it's the holy grail for comedy writers so it still gets the best writers in the business.

  • Anon attempts wordplay
  • This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

  • Minimal Voting Data of 2020 and 2024 US presidential election.
  • Well for one thing, it would go to a 7.5% decrease not sure where you split the hairs on that and as I mentioned that would be in the best case scenario where every last one of those 5 million votes went to Harris, which they wouldn't. Comparing any of those to a .75% change makes it nuts.

  • Some DnD realism
  • DnD somehow tries to sell itself as a combat simulator. And yeah, it's combat system is more fleshed out than many other roleplaying systems, but at the end of the day a lot of the combat interactions are down to the DM to decide so it ends up being a normal roleplaying game with the occasional stumble into a waste-deep muck or rule interactions for what ended up being almost no reason.

  • The office is empty at 6:30? Preposterous
  • "everyone talks about how "hard" they're working and grinding."

    Oh yeah? Who? Im willing to bet that everyone in the toxic "self help" podcasts he listens to talks about how hard he should be grinding while the people at his office live normal lives.

  • Pim Tool is a moron
  • Theres more than one clip (I think by Some More News) of him stopping mid-sentence while reading as he realizes the article completely debunks the point he's trying to make and passing it off like it still made his point.

  • So this is how liberty dies...
  • It really doesn't upset conservatives. They see this and acknowledge it as the affirmation that it is that libs like you are triggered by their epic president and have no argument so you have to resort to name calling.

    They do the same thing back to you and you conclude they can't understand words with more than 3 syllables back at them.

  • Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?
  • I don't think it is a subcategory I think it's the term you're looking for.

    The actual phrase has its origins in a financial sense but the way it's used nowadays is much more broad. You can invest time, money, emotion, identity etc and it's still the "sunk cost fallacy" if it keeps failing and you keep going.

  • I am a Machine
  • IMO a lot of skips are worth it as long as you think you can handle the next challenge. Almost all of the gold rewards will give you more gold than if you fought the actual blind the doubling one has the potential to break your run and a free joker is like making money as well, especially if it's guaranteed to be rare.

    The other skips are worth it too if your deck is even slightly built for it.

  • How do you officially pronounce a possessive like: " Travis' "?

    Do you just pronounce it like "Travises" like we do colloquially? Or is there some way to do it.
