Elon's not very good at being a geek if he didn't think "Soros reminds me of Magneto" could very easily be a compliment.

The original lyrics speak to the pernicious nature of these fantasies in keeping us all deceived.

'The punk rolled up his big blue eyes and said to the jocker, "Sandy, / I've hiked and hiked and wandered too but I ain't seen any candy / I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore / I'll be damned if I hike any more / to be buggered sore like a hobo's whore in the Big Rock Candy Mountain"'

I'm still amused that Big Rock Candy Mountain got featured in a DuckTales episode.

Well first, we'll attack their base. I mean, "Joint Photographic Experts Group"? Who appointed these so-called "experts"? I know I didn't vote for them. And even if we were to assume a group of experts should be appointed, perhaps a group comprised of members who do more than photograph "joints", aka Mambo Cigarettes, would be a better fit. Honestly this whole thing is a quagmi...

Sorry, what? Oh, uhhh.... yeah, baked potato and a frosty to go with my Daves Single with Cheese. Thanks.

have no idea what that list is meant to represent

jussie smollett: it sure looked like a lovely thing that happened at the time, but then weird conflicting details came out and neither Smollett nor the cops are talking so who the gently caress knows

covington kids: it sure looked like a lovely thing that happened at the time, but then longer videos came out showing the drumming guy and some Black Israelite guys were all standing around yelling for a long time so it's more a question of why the gently caress the kids' school trip just stood there smirking for like an hour, it still looks like bad ideas all around

nascar pull rope: look man it's a loving noose, even if every garage had a pull rope and not just the ONE black driver you're god drat weird if you tie them all like nooses

hands up dont shoot: when Michael Brown was killed by the cop in Ferguson, it was in a confused scuffle and only in one of the after-the-fact interviews did someone say Brown said "I don't have a gun, don't shoot me". He never verbatim said "hands up don't shoot" before they shot him in the back of the head, so seventeen golden pinocchios to the lying anti-cop media and BLM terrorists!!!

I remember reading about how some Tolkein-purists were upset about tomatoes being shown in the movies because they are a new world crop.

The book specifically mentions potatoes being eaten by the hobbits.

They also have very strong opinions on women and black people in modern LOTR media, but they go with tomatoes because it's an easier in.

But additionally, pipeweed is literally tobacco, according to Tolkein.

To the point of extinction! Hobbits ate every tuber to the point where the only surviving species were in their gardens, and when Hobbit society finally collapsed they were lost entirely. It took until the modern era for potatoes to be reintroduced from the New World.

Dude talking about Tolkien and the Somme forgetting he was a designated survivor- one of the men kept behind to reconstitute a unit full of replacements.

Tolkien pretty much watched every man he ever served with, every person he had lived with and stupid conversations with for the last 2 years go over the top and disappear in gas, explosions, and mud.

How the gently caress do you consider that a loving GOOD thing?

I feel like this kind of thing has always existed for music online though. Getting flashbacks to a roommate I had in the mid 2000s who tried to get me to drive her to some vegan Thai restaurant in LA because she and other people on the AFI message board were convinced there were some kind of clues about the band hidden there
