- 27…but 99 if you include billionaires that bought their way in -- nm - Flavorize Jan 19, 14:16 1
  - One can't buy a spot in the astronaut corp. You can't even get wings anymore if you're a a commercial space passenger -- nm - JD Jan 19, 14:22
- I will guess 69 assuming these are just the ones eligible to go up as passengers. - Max Jan 19, 14:13 2

Huh. WBEZ Radio is acquiring the Chicago Sun Times and turning it into a non-profit. -- (edited) - TWuG Jan 19, 13:21 1

LPT: if you're a reddit user, there is a chrome extension called nuke reddit history. set a reminder 1st of each month to run it. - colin Jan 19, 13:13 11

  - why would you not just *not post* from another account? this pro tip is silly. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 19, 13:54 9
    - It leads to tip 3, which is just. don't. reddit. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 13:55 8
      - I mean reddit is great for like "seriously how do I clean this grout?" but actively participating is generally very toxic. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 19, 13:57 6
        
        It really depends on the subreddit. Some are really great. It's really choose your own adventure. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 14:01 5
        
        Yep. I try not to be active, but I do frequently check the local subreddit. It's like a grouchy, cynical shadow of NextDoor. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:13 1
        
        Oh our local subreddit is toxic but I just don’t read the comments. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 15:30
        
        It's an excellent way to keep up with news as long as you ignore the comments. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 14:06 2
        
        Yes but the top one or two comments usually suss out the inherent bullshit of the article. Or have that salient counterpoint you want to see. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 15:25
        
        I really don't see the negativity on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit that people talk about as much as I see it on forums. - Max Jan 19, 14:54

LIR- Jen, this in September -- (link) - Meg Jan 19, 13:05
I coordinate a Family Feud with my work team. A few months ago I asked "Band you might hear on a classic rock station" - this were the results - MDH Jan 19, 13:02 16

- that sounds ... normal? -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 13:18 1
  - Good Answer *clap clap* -- nm - JD Jan 19, 13:32
- "Fall out Boy" -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 13:09 8
  - Honestly I was surprised I didn't get a Green Day or Weezer response. -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 13:11 7
    - Your work team is (like you) OLD and has not admitted to themselves that those bands are classic rock -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 13:20 6
      - 4 of the people polled were under 28, but the others older than me. -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 13:29
      - the classic rock station I used to work at is now playing Green Day and Weezer and wait for it....Fall out Boy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 13:24 4

        8-) Though I'm pretty sure there's not going to be an Interrupters song played in that sequence - JD Jan 19, 13:47
        
        They are almost a locsl band for you. 😂 -- nm - .💭 Jan 19, 13:29
        
        Green Day and Weezer make sense to me. Fall Out Boy is an edge case, feels a little soon but not outright ridiculous -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 13:27
nubby retweeted one of these (Stafford) but the entire thread is great -- (link) - decline Jan 19, 12:58 12
- So in other words, Kirk Cousins is Philip Rivers? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 19, 15:58
- ... most of these could be considered libellous out of their satirical context, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 13:33 2
  - Satire/parody is a defense to libel. - Dark Callisto Jan 19, 13:41 1
    - I didn't mean him, I meant the ones where DUIs and arrests are mentioned. But those are probably also accurate. I hope. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 13:53

  - That was a chef’s kiss of a punchline. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 13:47
  - And I’m here for it. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 19, 13:12
  - i'm okay with a long lead in to the punchline being what a piece of shit he is. -- nm - colin Jan 19, 13:10
- this is amazing. i want a set of trading card with these as the bios on the back. -- nm - colin Jan 19, 13:05 2
  - like, a physical, heavy card stock rectangle, not an NFT just so everyone is clear and i'm mad that i need to clarify. -- nm - colin Jan 19, 13:05 1
    - *calls CJ to stop working on those NFT cards for Colin* -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 13:20
Kids also don't feel the difference between Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam and Linkin Park the way we do. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 12:58 14
- my sister in law from my 1st marriage, her son is a drummer and whenever we go to concerts, is all over me about bands... - Remlik Jan 19, 13:24

- They’re all classic rock to them. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 12:59 6
  - Right. 60s? 80s? who can tell the difference?! - Reagen Jan 19, 13:00 2
    - Are they back too? - spamlet Jan 19, 13:31 1
      - no, but they were asking me about ripped jeans so I pulled the trump card of ridiculous fashion. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 13:42
  - It's still rock n' roll to them -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 12:59 2
    - All right Rico -- nm - rollo Jan 19, 14:26
    - but if they like rock (and love music enough), then eventually they'll learn (or not, if all they want is what's new) -- nm - mud Jan 19, 13:03
I've taken over a project from a recently terminated employee. Going through the shared drive documentation they left behind and I have to say this... -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Jan 19, 12:57 5

- is the document in the last folder titled: "if you've come this far, delete my browsing history" -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 13:29

i know nobody wants to hear about the metaverse, but if you've got 4 minutes, John Carmack, arguably a leading expert in what the actual metaverse is - colin Jan 19, 12:55 [youtube] 1
- TL;DR - you can't build the metaverse by setting out to build the metaverse. - colin Jan 19, 12:57
Cheer S2 is pretty heavy. Definitely not a feel good watch the tumblers do amazing flips experience to share with your kids -- nm - rollo Jan 19, 12:52 3
