Kafkaesque doesn’t originate directly from fiction like your other examples any more than a word like Dickensian does.

It sounds like you’ve just been around toxic and superficial people in your international travels and then extrapolated from them to their whole countries.

Unfortunately, they have people like that everywhere.

Many businesses added specific surcharges to final sales to offset the tariffs they paid. While they have no legal obligation to refund those surcharges they imposed, it would be straightforward to do so and it would be the right thing to do.

So the value-add would be the consumer would get to find out the name of the show or movie that’s playing, the same info that also pops up if they hit the pause button?

Italicizing every hyperlink makes this strange for the reader as italics are typically used to indicate emphasis.

Nor is it nonsense to acknowledge how cool it is to recognize your own building or that he was able to accomplish the project without expensive materials. Spew is also quite the verb to use. What an all-around unpleasant comment.

Surely you don’t think birds have evolved to sing more complex songs in the time since mass EV adoption?

But what if you want Amazon Basics brand batteries or counterfeit health products?

Those references are to the recurring gag with Lucy and the football.

There’s a lot more to the character than that so I hope 99% is an exaggeration and people are still reading Peanuts and watching the various animated versions. I’m pretty sure they are.

“No, I didn't know about the exhibit before that day. And then I saw the Al piece and it was just—as an artist myself, it was insulting to see something of such little effort alongside all these beautiful pieces in the gallery. It shouldn't be acceptable for this "art," if you will, to be put alongside these real great pieces.”

What an impulsive fellow.

It’s for when you’re greeting a cute animal.

There’s no need for name-calling.

Camp Legume may be a reference to this scene from the film Blazing Saddles:

I don’t think Alamo Drafthouse sold to private equity, but rather to Sony.

What will it do to Jony Ive’s legacy if his OpenAI device is no more successful than Snapchat’s foray into hardware?

If OpenAI becomes an also-ran by the time the hardware is released, this seems like a real possibility no matter how well-designed it is.

I remember gift cards originally being novel in the early 2000’s because they could be swiped like a credit card for purchases, unlike gift certificates, which they replaced.

If you had a girlfriend in the late 80s, I don’t see how police could have been bribed with gift cards as long as you can remember.

I should also add that I myself have never heard of it being common to bribe SF cops with gift cards, in any decade.

The joke is that the dumb biker character believes he has to kill people to get things for himself. The joke is at that character's expense.

Or do you mean you understood the meme you found in /r/simpsonsshitposting and then claimed was from thirty years ago and showed that The Simpsons writers had pointed out the necessity of killing CEOs?

Before you try to use The Simpsons references to add credibility to your edge-lord political arguments you should try watching the show. Maybe after your next walk?

Except that you completely misunderstood the joke. It’s at the expense of the character that thought killing was the way to achieve progress.

And you cited a post-Luigi meme using The Simpsons as evidence of something having been mainstream during the time of The Simpsons. With a fancy citation and everything!

The actual Simpsons joke had nothing to with either health care or CEOs. That subreddit is for making memes around classic Simpsons references, not a repository for them.

If you can’t even get the Simpsons right, I’m more than skeptical of the various statistics you cited but didn’t bother providing sources for.

Most of them, sure. But Agent Smith is cut from a different cloth.

Giving him credit for something executed under an administration two presidencies later seems like a bit of a stretch in any case.

But especially in this specific case, where he actually presided over a dramatic US escalation in Afghanistan:

The US did not pull out of Afghanistan under Obama.

Even if it’s small/cheap, if the item is scanned multiple times this will prevent any electrical infetterence.

Won’t somebody please think of the children?

The term “silent majority” has a very specific political meaning.

But, in what way do you think those opposing “extreme” content being consumed by their fellow citizens are silent? State governments across the country are clamoring to censor all sorts of things, presumably to satisfy their constituents.

I’m not sure neoliberal and “lefty” are anywhere near synonyms either.

The optics of that can be questionable. Just ask Skyler White or her brother-in-law.

Half-Life 3 confirmed.
