Largely it's because public transit basically doesn't exist once you get outside cities that have a population of at least 750k - 1mil. So the price of gas going up increases the price of everything you do because the only feasible/safe option is to drive yourself everywhere.

I use Proton and i don't know if that same functionality exists, but it does have a dedicated service for aliases that automatically forward back to your inbox so you just make an alias for a given use case and use that without exposing your actual email address, then if it gets too spammy you can delete the whole alias and never receive the spam addressed to it.

The idea being you can use it like an alias, so if you give youtube the address of "myemail+youtube@gmail.com" then when you get unsolicited spam emails addressed to "myemail+youtube@gmail.com" you know which service sold your information. Probably also makes it easier to sort the inbox based on where it is addressed

I've just started doing the thing that Samuel L. Jackson's character does in The Long Kiss Goodnight and singing "I locked my door na-na-na-na, locking my door na-na-na-na. Keys in my hand na-na-na-na" etc.

In fairness to memes, that definition is still largely true, its just that the common usage tends to refer to this specific form of meme. Like with squares and rectangles, not all anthropological memes are image macros, but all image macro memes are a subset of anthropological memes

If I match with someone and then they tell me that the age on their profile isn't accurate, that's an immediate end for me. If you're willing to lie about your age on the dating app I'm not taking any chances trusting anything you tell me.

He's talking about the fact that for over a decade south Park played a significant part in fueling climate change skepticism with Al Gore screaming "manbearpig guys I'm super cereal" only for the creators to later admit that yeah they were actually super wrong about climate change and it is a serious issue. That's why they made manbearpig real and had it start killing people, but that doesn't erase the influence that they've already had on people. It'd be like if they had a TV show calling aids fake and gay for the first few years of the aids crisis and then only changed their tune once it started affecting people they know.

Claiming that anyone who rightfully criticizes their handling of climate change as being a purity testing twat with no understanding of comedy or satire is disingenuous and makes it obvious that you don't actually understand what you're talking about

From everything ive seen he's not actually apologized TO the women he abused, he has only ever really made public apologies where he says "this is all true, i thought I was okay by asking for consent beforehand" when there is credible reporting that on multiple occasions he did not even bother to ask for consent.

Just going to add on, that in the YouTube series linked above that there is a direct comparison of how Loius and Dan Harmon both handled it and that you've summarized the differences quite well

Basically compares the allegations as detailed in the initial reporting with jokes, podcast, and radio appearances that Louis has done in the past as well as his actions and statements after the allegations were made public. And the obviously biased and very condensed version i can give you is that there are several stories he told on opie and anthony about events that bear enough resemblance to the allegations to determine that there are likely more victims who have never come forward and never been recognized and that Louis has been working to minimize how this negatively impacts him without ever going so far as to actually try to make amends with the women he abused.

If you are tempted to watch some I'd say start at the beginning and around the first time you catch yourself thinking "this fucking guy" after a clip of Louis telling a "funny" story on a podcast back before the allegations came out, then you've got the gist and the rest of it is just stacking more receipts

Can't recommend this series enough, does it need to be over 5hrs, not really, but it does paint a very thorough picture of the whole timing of Louie's misconduct and his response to being exposed

Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Louis C.K. has never made any tangible steps to make amends with the women he abused and yet he still goes on podcasts and talks about how the reporting on his sexual misconduct damaged his life and reputation as though he is the true victim

But think of all of the buildings that have no wheels and tens or hundreds of doors. And what about cabinets, they unequivocally have doors and only occasionally have wheels

When I first heard about Louis C.K.'s sexual misconduct I thought it was not the biggest deal in the world, thinking naively that he admitted to it and that he had "asked" first, but I have since come to realize that he is just a predator who manipulates his audience with his "schlub" persona to avoid responsibility for his own actions.

If you really want to know who Loius C.K. is, you should checkout the Comedy Without Errors youtube channel which does a phenomenal deep dive into him and his response to the allegations. It comes off almost like several episodes of behind the bastards.

The worst is when you get to the point where you've read the same passage so many times that you know all of the words in it, in the correct order but they have been totally divorced from all meaning and are just a series of unconnected words

Okay, but this is just a meme in a meme community, in that context it's safe to assume it's presented at face value and as a comedic anecdote.

The behavior you're describing is gross. But, you are interpreting subtext based on your personal experiences when there is absolutely nothing in the OP that is threatening at face value. It is just a meme, take it how you want to, but it seems a little hyperbolic to jump to this being some kind of implied threat over a description of a 4 sentence conversation.
