I call shenanigans. He does not seem like the type to sit on the subway.

But I guess good for him for pointing out that men only get up like 10% of the time for pregnant, the elderly, or people not able bodied on the subway.

chivlolry isn't dead

Does anyone find takes like this /trench?

Like, yeah I know there are also other and even greater injustices in the world, thx.

almost all "you think X is bad but Y is much worse" takes are trenchant

my whole feed seems to be these takes right now. I got into a pointless argument with a friend about it. She's a very high earning professional but didn't go to college and she thinks no one should care about this. But she has kids and I know she'd be mad about this if her kids were applying to college right now, regardless of whether it's "the way things work" or there are worse problems in the world.

And are usually more about being the smart guy in the room while saying things everybody else already knew for years

The war in Yemen is bad but have you heard of capitalism?

Yup, in fact the takes are split between "x is worse" and "come on, everyone already knew this and if you didn't you were a sucker" (and combos of the two).

She's a very high earning professional but didn't go to college and she thinks no one should care about this. But she has kids and I know she'd be mad about this if her kids were applying to college right now

tbf it looks like she'd have a pretty good chance, as a high-earning professional, to buy her kid a way into college

If you were angry about Patty getting snatched by the Symbionese Liberation Army, wait until you hear about wealth inequality, sexism, and people dying needlessly in Vietnam

Vietnam only happened because of capitalism. You knew that, right?

I'm so sorry you're paying 4000 for Humira but what if I told you drug companies seek PROFITS and not YOUR HEALTH?

tbf the admissions scandal is kinda _shrug_ to me if only because it really is a drop in the bucket of the overall fuckery of admissions/higher ed (and by extension the job market)

Think the overall point isn't that you have to care about it but it's cloying to act as if people can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time.

Then again, this may be true for those posting hot takes like man alive's friend

P much every "bust" of any kind is a drop in the bucket. I enjoy that at least rich people are getting busted for once, and I would think even if you are socialist it's good to see the curtains being peeled back on this sort of thing

love to peel back the curtains and bust in the bucket

Omg

Think the overall point isn't that you have to care about it but it's cloying to act as if people can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time.

yeah, exactly. ... but, y'know, maybe the people who create and share trenchmemes ... maybe they can't hold more than one thought in their head at the same time ... it's like ... Idiocracy is .... a .... documentary?

it's hard not to enter the trenchant labyrinth

tbc this particular admissions scandal is uniquely hilarious for the criminal ineptitude at work

also motherfucking aunt becky was arrested

Stamos to judge: have mercy

wtf is aunt becky?

Yeah, my other take on this is lighten up because this is funny as fuck and people enjoy watching rich people trainwrecks

I mean

definitely had to confirm that was not the Onion. wow.

The toker, who sports a ponytail and raps under the name “Billa,” then shamelessly plugged his music. “Check out my CD, ‘Cheese and Crackers,’ ” he said of his 2018 five-track rec­ord that includes a song titled “If I Lost My Money.”

this thread is it's own annoying trenchant social commentary

it's like the hotel california

such a lovey place... if you're part of the white patriarchy

Everyone these days is trying to be a “content creator” because they’re not “content” with worshipping the “creator”
