I don't get it - Embrace your inner The Last Stand

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head.

So, the Rick and Morty fandom (and creators) just insulted me for not understanding their precious cartoon.

Starbucks. Obviously overpriced, and extremely subpar. It always tasted burnt to me. Power of marketing, I guess.

This is me with Panera Bread, it's basically glorified hospital food.

I've never understood the appeal of cold sandwich shops, like Subway or Jersey Mikes. Cold sandwiches feel like they're meant for someone with the food palate of a two year old. I'd rather get hot/steamed sandwiches or get a hoagie from Davanni's, taste a million times better.

Those ugly ass hairless dogs and cats. Why would anyone willingly look at those ungainly creatures and say "yes, that's the one I want"

Why does shit like THIS exist?

Because the US nuked the testosterone out of Japan in 1945. Anything thats left is malformed due to the radiation.

When women complain about misogyny, only to fight with other women.
Click to expand...
Because almost everything boils down to women competing against other women. It's become cliché to the point that every late night comedian, youtube comment channel, and neighborhood mailman makes jokes about it, but it's true that any time you get a group that's exclusively female, at some point they'll split up and have little mini camps that constantly bicker and shit talk behind each other's backs. And when women are going out with a friend or on a date with their SO, they're always looking to compare themselves with other women in the same setting.

How did Marilyn Monroe get her chest to be that defined?

A common thing I've seen among conspiracy theorists is that somehow the all powerful elite who control everything and can do everything need to ask for permission/tell the public in advance of their nefarious deeds, so they hide it in movies or coded messages. The thing that gets me about this is, if they're as all powerful and corrupt as they say, why would they need to do this? I'm sure the evil cabal that will eat your babies and enslave you don't give a shit about permission of forewarning.

The idea is that there are individual people involved who don't want to be involved, who have a problem with what's going on, but they can't do or say anything because they're dealing with the most powerful and corrupt network of people in the world, so they have to slip the message out in a way that isn't obvious so it can be allowed to proliferate and/or they don't get Boeinged.

Why does the Tesla Cybertruck look like a LOD of a normal truck?

View attachment 6175041

And why can't it haul based on the normal capacity of a typical pick up truck?
Click to expand...
As I understand it, it was never intended to be a truck, but cars have much stricter safety regulations than trucks do; Musk tried and failed to get the regulations for cars changed, so he had to give up and make something that could be classified as a truck. Regarding the aesthetic, it was supposed to be both affordable and made of titanium, the idea being that ordering flat plates of titanium and doing the bare minimum amount of work to them would bring the cost of production down and help achieve the affordability objective. Needless to say it is neither affordable nor made of titanium.

What I don't get is how anyone thinks nose rings look good. To me all I can think of is farm animals

100% of people with septum rings are subs. I have done extensive research on this. If you don't get it, congrats, you're normal.

It's the closest anyone will ever get to anime being real.

The appeal of anime. Like, anything about it.

I think 1) different cultures tell different stories and it's valuable to humor another perspective, 2) different media (as in plural of medium) affect how a story is told, and 3) animation is a way to access all the aspects of the film medium -- the confluence of visual art, sound/music, and writing as well as authorial control over line delivery and character nuances in the form of acting and direction, and authorial control of the pace at which information is delivered -- at a fraction of the cost, which allows for the production of stories that otherwise wouldn't get greenlit as films, which allows for riskier and more experimental choices, and for the most part Japan is the only culture taking advantage of that to tell interesting/serious stories from time to time.

That said, I will laugh in the face of anyone who calls the aesthetic or the animation particularly good. There's something genuinely laugh-out-loud funny to me about their fixation on drawing literally everything as photorealistically as possible except for humans which paradoxically look as little like humans as possible, it reminds me of that World of Gumball cartoon, and I remember watching Gundam as a kid and my dad laughing that the people with the tiniest eyes in the real world insist on drawing eyes that take up half the face. It's all very silly. And the animation is absolute dogshit like 99% of the time, there were cartoons on Kids WB with better animation.

There are some places like hotels or restaurants that don't allow their staff to take home food without paying for it at the end of the day. They're going to throw out leftover food anyway, why not just let them take it? I get it during a shift or not giving it away for sanitary reasons, but why not just let the employees take it?

They're very good if you have quality, fresh ingredients.

I'm the exact opposite. I don't get the appeal of hot sandwiches with the sole exception of corned beef and horseradish on rye.

That one really makes no sense at all to me. The company isn't even losing anything since they just bin it anyway, it's just the most petty shit done entirely to put down the employees.
