  • I don’t mean this in a horrible way, but a lot of people on here are extremely entitled when it comes to immigration.The US is an incredibly hard place to move to, even if you are a skilled worker. While it often is easier to move into Europe or Canada, it’s not a given that you can just walk into any of these countries and expect to live there. Immigration is hard!

    I agree with the sentiment. There are so many “democracy is dead” posts that make me want to scream “motherfucker, it’s dead in America, not worldwide”. The US is one country out of over a hundred. Many of us are just glad that you’ll finally shut the fuck up about your election.

    With that said, from a climate perspective it fucks everyone over. From a business perspective the economy tanking will affect markets worldwide. For Ukrainians and Palestinians, there’s a huge shift towards Russia and Israel that will be problematic for decades.












  • Dave Grohl got a lot of shit for playing a private show for Amazon leadership after they had laid off thousands of employees earlier this year.

    Now, I guess it kinda makes sense why. It’s not just that he’s morally bankrupt, but he probably needed some extra cash to fund the incoming divorce and raising a new child.

    With all that said, I kinda feel for the child. It’s gonna suck to have this scrutiny on your shoulders, and to have weird parts of the Grohl cult of personality hate you for existing. Would it actually be that good having him as your dad when his other kids apparently want nothing to do with him now?







  • It was the Edinburgh Fringe Festival recently, which is a huge comedy and arts festival that occurs yearly. If you’re a stand-up fan it’s basically your main event on your calendar. Dave is a TV channel here in the UK that plays a lot of comedy.

    One of the coveted awards is Joke of the Fringe, where comedians are judged on their best one-liner. As you can imagine, while it predates social media by many years it’s basically a content gold mine - either from the top list or from those that heard hundreds of new, solid jokes.
