trenchant social commentary 2

that seems less trenchant, more Rev JC Flannel style platitudinous waffling

"Sidewalks were started to get kids off the street," he said. "Where are they now? On their cellphones. They're not even out anymore."

They're literally on their cellphones.

on their indoor cellphones

I have no idea who would show up to a city council meeting in Windsor Heights other than cranky old people, tbh

"Maybe they stay inside because they don't have any sidewalks to walk on! Huh? You ever thought of that old man?"

I grew up in a neighborhood with no sidewalks and it was really shitty. I probably would have spent more time walking/biking places if there had been sidewalks.

19.6% are under the age of 18, 5.9% from 18 to 24, 28.6% from 25 to 44, 25.4% from 45 to 64, and 20.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years.

it's a suburb of about 5k people with no schools of their own, a small retail strip that's mostly known for being a 25mph speed limit trap, big box retail in the corner (wal-mart, sam's club, and a large grocery store) that divides the main residential area from the single park, which is mostly known because it's on another suburb's trail system. I think the park is next to the older houses/apartments/town homes that the few younger people might actually live in

I guess there's a demographic that thinks "affordable house, lower taxes, raise some kids here" but even that group is aging out.

tbh a lot of people forget it's a suburb

they do have a dairy queen that chuck grassley notably has visited

i am so completely unimpressed by ppl's reactions to this shit. you really have a problem with bad cops? go be a good cop.

I'm not even 100% sure what he was going for with that

While everyone is distracted by the constant media infusion of politics, Verizon just acquired Yahoo for $5 billion. The wheels of the corporate kleptocracy bus keep rolling.

would be truly chilling if anyone gave a crap about Yahoo

yahoo maps

yahoo image search

long forgotten email addresses

yahoo's long game of ignoring flickr when it could have done pretty well given its user base and infrastructure still boggles my mind until I remember, oh yeah, yahoo

their tumblr incompetence is nearly as impressive

Yeah Flickr probably could have morphed into what Instagram became instead.

a flickr offshoot using the image storage/recognition/editing where you have the option to have your images also shown on flickr

basically a handful of purpose-driven apps using flickr as the backend

Well, well, well. Verizon finally got into the gambling business with Yahoo's Fantasy Sports. Red pill or blue pill, sheeple?

lol

I enjoyed Mr. Robot but it is basically Trenchant Social Commentary: the TV Show.

More so than black mirror?

Just realized same dude also posted a pretty pathetic post in another group I'm in about issues with seeing his daughter on weekends -- it actually sounded like his ex was being difficult, but the fool also still had not bothered to get a lawyer and no official custody arrangement had even been set as a result, his ex just had the daughter during the week and then made him jump through a few hoops to get her on the weekends. Dude is just not an adult, basically.

My first time on this thread, really enjoying it.

I actually liked some art by one of the artists posted on here. I communicated with him briefly and I was considering telling him his political and social criticism art was too obvious and poor but I didn't know how to put it and I'm not used to giving that kind of criticism.

you just gotta man up and say "hey pitbull, knock it off with that shit"

lol

dale!

dale

king of the hill dale was my first thought on #dale too

I think people dont even like music anymore, they just like think pieces about music.
