my most Millennial trait is that i want big screen to think properly. to compose my thoughts. app exists for your thing but no website? bad bad bad not good for think, need big screen for think. i wrote this post on the small screen btw

I read somewhere that one thing that really pisses off companies about Millennials is that we won't make big purchases on our phones, we always feel compelled to get out a laptop or hop on a desktop for it

It’s crazy how Europeans spent centuries colonizing, brutalizing and destabilizing most of the world and when the people from the places they worked (and are often still benefiting from) to destroy and exploit flee to Europe, they’re baffled and enraged. Why would your NHS nurse be Nigerian? Hmmm. I wonder who the Queen of Nigeria was up until 1963. Oh, you’re mad your new neighbors are Pakistani? I wonder who the head of the Commonwealth was there until 1972. This is truly baffling.

as part of their ongoing boycott, Canada will no longer provide the US with totally real long-distance girlfriends who definitely exist

Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like “J'étais sur internet l'autre jour – internet, la plus grande invention américaine. Et la Chine a “internet aussi.

Mais la Chine… Chine, Chine, Chine… Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilà ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'Amérique. Et la Chine va nous détester pour ça. Ils vont nous détester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseaux”. And people will lose their minds

oh my god

There was a scandal in Poland because one translator decided to translate him accurately, tone, vocabulary level and word salad tangents and all. Polish conservatives who don't speak English and previously only heard smoothed out translations that sounded coherent and used big words were up in arms about how the translator was "inserting her political agenda", "mocking him", "exaggerating", "purposefully trying to make him look bad" and "incredibly unprofessional". I listened to the translation in question. It was literally just accurate.

We had a mini-scandal in the German translation/interpretation community last year about exactly this – the interpreter for the inauguration got sick of Trump's incoherence and made a remark into his mic that was not intended to be heard (here's my post on it).

i have defended plenty of times with “he’s phrasing that way on purpose he’s not just being weird” bc some of the crit is really ridiculous however i saw someone defending grrm from the “breasted boobily” stuff and its like listen. that one’s right we know the chest size of every single female character in this series to the point that it makes some of the female characters look very gay bc they’re pointing it out constantly. he’s ridiculous about this and we all know it.

People like Thiel have bought into the Dark Enlightenment, which involves establishing a system of hypercapitalist corporate neo-feudalism, so the answer to that question is they're actively planning for a permanently destitute underclass cause it's a core part of what they want the future to look like
