  • South Korea bans phones in school classrooms nationwide

  • What?? What absurd scenario are you referring to? What situation could they create that would require the kids to have phones to “handle it themselves” instead of finding the nearest adult teacher/admin and getting help?

  • If there’s an earthquake — I hope people/children are more concerned about getting to safety rather than calling mommy and telling her that they are about to die because rather than get to safety they got distracted by their phone calling her.

    After the earthquake, if it’s catastrophic, the parents know where the kids are. Hint: AT THE FUCKIN’ SCHOOL. And they will likely need to go pick them up anyways.

    What kind of stupid thought process led you to believe you’re making some sort of intelligent point here? Get real, touch grass.

  • It's time for Reddit to die

  • Agree on all accounts. I got perma-banned for making fun of the conceptual average Reddit user. Now I’m here. That website is a hollow shell of what it once was.

    As predicted, their stock going public INSTANTLY made the website 10x shittier. Bots, propaganda, karma-farming, tyrant power-tripping mods/admins, misinfo, and algorithmic front page is just too much.

  • Bella Ramsey Tells ‘Last of Us’ Haters ‘You Don’t Have to Watch’ Season 3: ‘If You Hate It That Much, the Game Exists’ and ‘You Can Just Play’ It Again

    Jump

  • Didn’t play the games so I have no reference, but I thought Season 1 was excellent! The third episode had me fuckin’ bawling my eyes out lol. I thought it was a stellar episode! Overall touching, wholesome, etc. The vibe Season 1 also seemed more “real” (in the event fungus zombies were to become real.).

    Idk if/how much Season 2 was true to the game but I didn’t really enjoy it.

    Bella’s acting fell flat imo, it seemed like she couldn’t shake being constantly awkward on screen. The story focus on Ellie’s gf’s pregnancy was weird and all of the dialogue surround it was pretty shit. I personally found it rather disjointed to have that one episode end in a stanky fingering scene — like they’d be so fuckin dirty bro, and are the characters supposed to be so naïve/ignorant that they don’t consider maybe the pregnant girl could get a very inconvenient UTI in a dangerous place? My girlfriend took personal issue with the makeup, hair, and clothing choices by the showrunners lol. It overall felt like the writers didn’t know what they wanted or what they were doing but felt as if they should shoehorn therapy-talk/themes in it at every corner.

    I personally wished we got more zombies or story behind the militia group.

  • Good, I’d probably have done way better in high school if my phone hadn’t been there (and if I’d gotten my ADHD dX and Adderall rX back then). No reason to have them on you if you’re a student. Parents and family can call the school if there’s an emergency.

  • Attempt to partner African countries with Japanese cities triggers xenophobic backlash

    Jump

  • Oh you’re telling me a nearly 100% culturally and ethnically homogenous country is gasp not meshing well with government sponsored immigration programs? Color me surprised.

    Japan is notoriously “xenophobic” (I don’t necessarily think xenophobia is a bad thing but that’s a different discussion) towards even tourists sometimes despite their economy relying heavily, in part, on tourism.

    I can’t imagine they already worked-to-the-bone crowded populations of Japanese cities would be too excited to have an influx of people willing to work for the cold, soulless corporations for less money.

    Imo, slow trickle immigration is ideal, it lets immigrants assimilate/integrate into the culture/country they have decided to move to. Personally, I would never think about visiting a country, let alone immigrating, without becoming intimately familiar with cultural norms, their language, and the interests/hobbies/pasttimes of the “native population”.

    Sounds like a mess.

  • It was both a retail store and restaurant. Both sections were “Southern Hospitality” themed minus any confederate or hateful shit. Think biscuits and gravy, maybe some bluegrass, farmin’.

    I went a decent amount with my fam as a child and I always found it cozy and interesting. Never been as an adult.

  • [Other Party]’s general population is totally upset about something [Our Party] thinks is good or even doesn’t give a fuck about!

    We must be reactionary over the most trivial stupid shit and bicker and deflect from [List of Enormous Issues and Catastrophes], and create a new issue for everyone to point fingers about!

    /s

    Personally, I think it looks terrible and I’m a die-hard lefty/socialist/liberal whatever you wanna call me. I don’t eat there and don’t give a fuck about them, but this media attention over this “controversy” has pushed me to form an opinion on something I wouldn’t otherwise care about — and honestly if conservatives hate it, then fuck, I agree with them for once because it looks fuckin’ soulless and terrible lol.

  • Conservative backlash? Are we really putting all the apparent public distaste for the rebrand on the conservatives? I personally haven’t seen any conservatives or conservative-coded people complain at all; in fact, I thought the “outcry” (more like grumbling imo) was bipartisan and something that progressives and conservatives both disliked.

    But again, I feel as though in a reaching effort to make conservatives look even worse than they already do, many democrats and associated talking heads are forcing this story that conservatives are so pissed about it.

    I’m left as hell and voted for Harris so I hope that gives some perspective when I say that I also think the logo and overall brand look like tasteless, soulless corporate slop. It’s what all corps have done and will always do, simplify and dilute any individuality to appeal to the broadest possible market possible, and we shouldn’t applaud that.

    IDGAF about Cracker Barrel and never eat there, and were it not for media pundits accusing conservatives of being pissed, I don’t think I ever would’ve known. That said, if it’s gonna be pushed in my face for brand awareness and marketing, then yea, it looks like shit and I want to eat there even less than before.

    Congrats everyone, you’re falling for engagement bait and doing the advertising for Cracker Barrel for free.
