If Andrew Tate is such a tough guy, why is he so focused on women? A real alpha male would go after strong men, not like those pussy loving straight guys.

Those are digital cables. The analog cables are things like RCA connectors, old stereo cables and wires, old VGA connectors. That sort of thing.

Yes, it’s ironic speech.

I have a box o’ digital cables, a box o’ analog cables, a box o’ power cords, and a box o’ power bricks.

The power cords and power bricks end up being useful once in a while.

As for the other boxes, I have never pulled anything but the most common cables, like standard USB or HDMI cables, out of there. You know, the ones that you can easily buy cheaply whenever you need them. I’ve been trying to convince myself to throw away those boxes for years.

The Reform UK party has had this sort of thing happen over and over, where, despite them saying that they have the highest moral standards, one of them turns out to be a very immoral person. Usually they’re caught saying something incredibly racist.

LBC’s James O’Brien recently imagined that their entire interview and vetting process must consist of only one question, “Are you a wrong’un?”

He’s a paedo, yes, but do we know for sure that he’s also racist?

I mean, it’s probably just up to whoever first started doing it. They chose that song, so it’s that song. Other songs may have also worked.

But there is one thing that I think gave Rick Astley an advantage over specific other groups like A-ha. And that’s his name. If you look up the history of Rickrolling on Wikipedia, it says it replaced a meme called “duckrolling”, which was used the same way as Rickrolling, but it was just a picture of a duck with wheels. So the advantage is that “Rick” is his name and it’s an easy drop-in replacement for the word “duck”.

There’s other artists who have names that would work. Who knows? In another universe, they might have “Beckrolling” or something.

Edit: I was just reading farther into the Wikipedia article, and the guy who made the first Rickroll said he chose it because it came out in his birth year of 1987.

It is a great song. I think that is one reason it works so well for the meme.

Great song

Very distinctive and ear catching drums to start the song

The first time you see the video, you’re probably surprised that he’s a smallish white guy

His dancing in the video is… extremely white?

I think if it was actually a bad song, it would never have caught on as a meme, and that the people who hate the song are either overexposed to it or their opinion of the song is heavily influenced by how it’s been presented to them. You know, like how if you tell a child that some bit of food is gross, then they often won’t like it when they taste it.

I hope so cousin. Otherwise there are more of her out there.

They had to do that because it’s a death cult. A Christian’s goal is to die and go to heaven as quickly as possible, so if they let them commit suicide, then that’s the fastest way to heaven.

And then, of course, murder is a sin, or else the best thing a Christian could do is blow up a Christian church while it’s full of worshipers.

Actually, since murder can be forgiven, you’d think Christians would be killing each other left and right, just to help the other guy get into heaven faster without them committing suicide.

Even if murder couldn’t be forgiven, you’d think a Christian parent would want to kill their children right after they were baptized. Guaranteed ticket into heaven for the kids. Best thing for them. What loving parent wouldn’t sacrifice their soul for their children’s souls?

My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She’s a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God’s plan.

The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

I’m going to say one good thing about Musk below. It’s probably the only good thing I will ever say about him going forward.

The American car industry is a cesspool led by some of the biggest villains who exist. The existing car manufacturers were not heavily investing in EV. They liked the status quo. Also, the barrier to entry for any new car company is extremely high, as well. For example, a lot of states have laws passed requiring car manufacturers to sell from traditional dealerships, which is specifically to stop new small car companies from succeeding.

Because of this massive corruption in America, I fully expected that any EV developments would start internationally. You’d have to be a complete moron who was also flush with money to try to fight them. And then Elon Musk came onto the scene. He was a complete moron who was flush with money.

I don’t know that Musk pushed the EV industry forward, but he certainly pushed the American EV industry forward. If Musk had been smarter, he’d have tried something more reliable with his money, and he wouldn’t have started an impossible fight. I know Tesla has almost bankrupt at least once since he took over. His luck stat must be off the charts.

Yep, he invested in the existing Tesla company, and then forced them to list him as a founder.

If Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla, then Stalin was the founder of Berlin.

IIRC, snails shit out of the top of the opening on their shell.

From the picture, we can tell that even if they knew their letters, they still didn’t know how to spell “birthday” in any case.

I think that definition simply doesn’t reflect how the word is used anymore.

In English, the definition is based on how the word is used, not the other way around.

As an American, following the recent move to the Green Party in the UK, I wanted to find more information about the Reform party I had also heard about, since I was mostly familiar with Labour and the Tories.

I was surprised that apparently, one of the most common reasons to criticize the UK Reform party is that they’re perceived to be racist. And perception is quite important to voters deciding which party to support. How would Labour plan to court this type of voter? It doesn’t make sense to me. To date, they’d be voting for Reform instead of Conservative due to their far-right-wing views, right? Or am I just oversimplifying/misunderstanding?

And another fuck you to the American people. Melania was not elected. She was not appointed and confirmed. She’s a nobody in the eyes of our government. We Americans have a process for choosing people in our government and it’s not supposed to be nepotism.

A competent professional would have found a way to make both things work together. Ripping the carpet out from under their users’ feet is exactly why people switched from Digg to Reddit all those years ago.

Everything about that announcement screams, “We are amateurs who are bad at our jobs” to me. I guess that’s on purpose? But what’s the point? If they suck so badly at these sort of decisions, you don’t want to use their services, anyway.
