I’ve yet to encounter such a phenomenon.

I used to sell TVs for Best Buy back in the day. The Video Department manager, my boss, set up a display side by side to show the difference between $40 Monster cables and the normal cables that came with a DVD player.
When there was no noticable difference, he went into the TV settings and adjusted the settings for the normal cables to make the picture look like shit. Not all customers are that gullible though, so usually one of the more savvy ones would fix the settings. So my boss would have to go in and fuck the settings up again once or twice a shift.

I saw an article somewhere that pointed out the Hallmark movie formula is targeted at empty nester mom’s with daughters. It’s their fantasy that their daughter, who has left home to find fulfillment in a career will come back home and fall in love with a local boy, realize that moving to the city was a mistake, and settle down in their home town (near their mother).
Kinda sad when you realize that’s why they’re so successful.

I’ve noticed that most people are barely computer literate and don’t understand when you try to explain the difference between something like a shortcut and computer virus.
I actually dodged a bullet like that myself once. I used SMTP to send an email with a spoofed “from” address and got accused of hacking into someone’s email account. I lucked out that I got to plead my case with someone who understood networking.

Yeah smoke bombs were the only thing I recall that wouldn’t land you in jail.

Lol that is the exact same thing that happened to him. He said he fucked up the temperature and ignited it.
Somehow, he DIDN’T get in a ton of shit for it. The teachers and fire department didn’t figure out it was an intentional smoke bomb. So they never questioned him about it. He dodged a bullet for sure! That was pre-9/11 and Columbine, so I’m sure kids in a similar situation today would be absolutely fucked.

My friends and I downloaded the Anarchists cookbook off of a BBS (we’re old as shit now) when we were kids. One of the things in there was how to make a smoke bomb, which sounded harmless enough but also contained chemical ingredients that we didn’t have access to.
Then one of my buddies moved away and at his new school, they had a chemistry lab. His dumbass got ahold of these chemicals and made the bomb in class - except he fucked up a step and it started smoking immediately.
It wasn’t just a little bit of smoke, it was a shit load. He said smoke started pouring out at a crazy rate. They ended up evacuating the school thinking the building had caught fire.

No you’re thinking of Captain Kirk. Charlie Kirk was an NFL quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football for Michigan State and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2012.

I also found that if you really want to be understood in French, you have to force yourself into an over the top, bordering on ridiculous French accent.
So the key to speaking good French is to default to the most sexist position possible and intentionally speak like an asshole.

Not just sizes, but ingredients too. I used to drink those Naked Juice smoothies, which were originally just blended fruit with a little bit of apple juice added for liquid. They would write something on the back that said something like “this bottle contains 13 strawberries and 2 bananas”.
Then one day I noticed the drinks were much more runny that usual. I had to search for older pictures people had taken of their bottles, but sure enough all the numbers had changed - and apple juice was no longer a minor ingredient, it was the main one.

If we really want to reduce the amount suffering for both adults and, most importantly, children then we have to be able to start having actual conversations about this.
I appreciate that calling Trump a child rapist is also good for society.
