Sklansky is a poor man’s Scott Adams.
I don’t really know what to do with Iglesias because he does think independently and often has thought provoking, good takes I never would otherwise consider, but hoo boy does he do and say some really stupid shit.
This is a pretty big problem with commentary delivered through social media driven contemporary channels. People like Yglesias are under pressure to deliver “content” constantly, often in real time with no editing, and with preferential treatment for “hot takes” that generate controversy and clicks. It’s almost inevitable that people playing that game will say a ton of idiotic shit even if they are foid 95% of the time.
There’s an entire draft thread dedicated to Seinfeld. Tons of clips to watch.
And he never had to give that one million dollar check to anyone.
RIP
This is really sad. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times and he was an amazing person. Much of the skeptic movement exists because of him.
Can someone explain to me why this is funny? Is Emily some kind of scammer? Like they make a faux profile with a hot girl picture and fish for rubes? I assume they pretend to want to meet the rube but need them to wire money for a plane ticket or something.
Whatever, Uri Gellar could bend spoons and this dude just hand-waved it away so he didn’t have to give up dem checks.
I didn’t used to believe this but a couple of years ago my medium was able to find my first dog and he told me.
I don’t see what’s so bad about this, it’s not like he’s going to go on there and jerk shapiro off on zoom or something
Yes…
I get those friend requests from time to time.
Guess they have nice pictures to add to your wank bank.
I think we’ve all had enough of wankers this week… .
My journalist mum met and interviewed Geller once, and he did his spoon-bending trick while she held the other end as normal. She said she wasn’t convinced and thought some kind of chicanery was happening.
What are the odds that spoon bending just happens to be the one thing where mind can control matter? Like wouldn’t it be easier to just move a paperclip across a table? Or melt butter? What’s so special about spoons - something about the properties of metal and shape argle bargle?
There are no spoons. I guess there are paper clips and butter.
Every now and then I’ll search a phrase in a post for the hell of it - the results of this one amused me
He has magic fingers that transmit his thoughts without using muscles, though.
