        I remember that damn ad on TV back in in 2009. It was for SakuraCon, a annual Anime convention in Seattle.

        I went there once with a group of friends. Made anime look uncool very fast.

          if so then name your thing

          Sort of I guess: em dashes.

          Not to talk about, but to use when writing.
          Now they are apparently the hallmark of AI-generated crap.

            Same. I learned this was a thing just the other day.

            I don't use them often but do find them nicer for parenthetical remarks sometimes.

              Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

              (Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

              I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:

              • — is ck then "---"
              • é is ck then "e" followed by '
              • ° is ck then double "o"
              • ½ is ck then "1" followed by "2"

              I'm sure there's many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.

                Alt-codes are for nerds

                - 60% gang

                I really think more text formatting should do as mobile devices do and just auto convert two hyphens into an em dash. Make it simple, i beg.

                      I don't remember it being popular. Do you mean the Hunger games books and movies being it's mainstream rip-off?

                        The fact most people have now heard of it proves its popularity. It was a pretty obscure movie before the Hunger Games.

                          Tabletop RPG.
                          It used to be a niche of the internet in the early days, with people posting here and there their scenarios, campaign, ideas etc. It was hard to find and so pleasurable when you found something.

                          Nowadays it's trusted by ... Wizard if the coast ? Online only platforms and what have you.

                          I loved #scenariotheque, but now it's almost a ghost website (pardon the french).

                          I know if sounds like old man yell at clouds, but damn do I miss the early days.

                            I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

                              Idk if that's elitism. It's more calling a spade a spade. Punk at its core is about recapturing the simplicity and energy of early pre-british invasion rock. That doesn't really lend itself to ballads and concept albums. It's not about denigrating green day so much as finding a definition that fits them better.

                                  All of the more recent Star Wars slop has made me realize that the original films aren't really that good either.

                                    Nazi ideology, OP OP. There was a nice little thing we had once, until you cunts took it up like a hoard of malignant nihilist pussies 😒Now we can't even bring up the Third Reich's many incredible qualities in conversation without someone rolling their eyes! n-chan numpties ruin every fandom.

                                      I hate that I'm writing this because I'm gonna sound like the *"to be fair * copy pasta but, the fact that it's so lame and stupid is kind of the whole point of the bit.

                                      He gives his big "I'm pickle Riiiiick!" presentation like it's supposed to be some big huge awesome thing, and it's presented like a punchline that you're supposed to laugh at and find funny... Then it's a hard cut to Morty's disappointed, slightly concerned face for a solid 10 seconds. Morty is you, the viewer, painfully unimpressed by what is presented as, well, "the funniest shit ever".

                                      Remember in an earlier episode when Rick makes a reference to the non-existent Redgren Grumblholdt, and the kids laugh because they think it's supposed to be funny and just want to fit in? Those are the people that the "funniest shit ever" meme is about. People that are fed an intentionally bad joke, don't understand the irony behind the bad joke, but sees that everyone else is laughing at the bad joke, so they pretend the joke is funny. Two people laughing at the same thing for entirely different reasons.

                                      The whole Pickle Rick plotline is just background events anyways. The meat and potatoes of the episode is with Dr Wong.

                                        I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there's that.

                                        I refuse to make a distinction anymore. If you "joke" about being a Nazi, you're a Nazi.

                                          I am an avid collector and drinker of Chinese teas, particularly oolongs and puerh. I had been drinking them for years when suddenly the absolute asshole Dr. Oz went on TV claiming that puerh tea was some magical cure for anything and everything that you might have.

                                          Normally, I get excited for new people to share tea with, but this fad caused prices to rise across the board and caused the market to get flooded with awful quality tea. These people were drinking some of the worst quality (fishy, shou/cooked puerh) teas and were more obsessed with how to mask the flavors with milk and sugar than actually slowing down and enjoying the tea.

                                          The fad faded and people went back to putting matcha in their morning milkshakes. Even so, I still run into people that reflexively associate incredible tea with Dr. Oz and the disgusting teas he foisted upon his audience. Sad.
