Nathan for You was a amazing show especially if you enjoy cringe humor similar to Sacha Baron Cohen.

It's definitely a fascinating show but this was actually the reason I can't watch it. Watching Nathan For You makes me want to curl into a secondhand embarrassment ball until I tunnel into another reality. I can't handle it.

lmao poo poo like this always reminds me of the Summer Palace in Beijing, where the Chinese Emperors had a small like two block long part sectioned off that looked like a (very clean) city street, filled with shops and stalls and the emperors would staff the streets with attendants and walk down, pretending what it would be like to be an average citizen even though the entire thing was a charade designed to make them feel better about themselves

Similarly, if you go to Versailles there's a part of the gardens that's like a 1700s peasant village because Marie Antoinette liked to go pretend she was a farm girl some days.

yeah i got that a few times. despite that, you should really download and watch the finale to Nathan For You though. holy poo poo, what a loving sad, uplifting, and humanizing finale that transcends comedy entirely into something else. one of an all-time TV best and one i'll def remember for along time.

lol I didn't know it was a place, just a good yogurt that doesn't seem to keep shelf stability as well so there's almost always a few tubs on sale for a buck and a half

idk if it's imported from the vaunted Noosa region but if so: lol that the yogurt made on the opposite side of the world usually ends up being cheaper than the stuff they make 40mi away

It's probably because some of the people he finds on the Nathan for You show are so endearing/uniquely weird while SBC is more the acidic troll type of cringe humor.

I remember him from the gaming sites rpgcodex, NMA and planet hellgate: london nearly 20 years ago. Dude was stupid and hosed up back then and defending the worst poo poo. The whole incel thing was there from the start with him too when he came on out teamchat server to post pictures from a hellgate london promo thing where he had his picture taken with a luxury car and scantly glad women around him, binge drinks in celebration and telling us how big things are coming his way with how big hellgate: london was going to be (lol). Within an hour he is extremely drunk and is in tears crying about how women don't want him and continuously rambled about how he is a failure to his friends and family. I was smh while the other players were talking him out of doing anything stupid.

20 years later the guy just hasn't changed at all except finally coming out as a nazi. He's exactly the same.

One of the few stores at Santana Row with a name that has something to do with what they actually sell.

Also to kinda sorta touch on the topic of the thread, Santana Row has stores from Bonobos, Amazon, Casper, Warby Parker, and Tesla. It's like the barrier between worlds is weak there and it's a place where the internet is breaching normal reality.
