A big Simpsons thread from two years ago is getting new traction on Twitter as new generations realize the Sneed show was funny (rip Phil Hartman). However, zoomers are so used to musicals that reheat dead franchises with corny music that they fail to understand why Planet of the Apes: the Musical is funny.

Full clip:

Additional seethe (mostly 15 year olds asking where the shiny lights, references to modern movies, and Rick and Morty references are in a clip that is older than they are):

I HATE EVERY APE I SEE

FROM CHIMPAN-A TO CHIMPANZEE

Let's check in on the song that the latest season of the Simpsons was advertising in an episode last week by the way, extreme coal warning: https://twitter.com/thesimpsons/status/1789816702869348687

Does Chick-fil-A not have the same anti-LGBTQ reputation anymore? Anecdotally, young people (Gen Z) keep casually announcing that they eat there and it's jarring to my aging millennial ears.

Chick-fil-A was THE culture war issue at a time when the term “culture war” was employed a lot less frequently (or at least I heard it less). Hard to believe the stigma is gone among presumably pro-LGBTQIA+ young people. 🤷‍♂️

Some 20-something at work just asked me where to find a Chick-fil-A (I didn't know, but others have asked me the same question). That's what inspired this…

There is no ethical consumption, but when a corporation becomes publicly associated with bigotry, mistreating workers, other social/environmental ills, I'll boycott in solidarity + to send a message. But seems like, eventually, people forget.

Boycotts can be an effective tool, but it seems like there is more awareness now than ever that systemic, radical change is necessary to address root causes of corporate greed/abuses (including capitalism itself). Consumer choices only go so far.

what does woke mean?

Woke's over, younger Gen Zs and Gen Alpha dgaf about this stuff

Not sure how you personally define “wokeness,” but Gen Z is extremely concerned about LGBTQ+ rights according to available data (regardless of whether they connect it with a specific chicken place).

Wokeness = radical liberalism and performative politics. There's a polarisation - some Gen Zs (those older and closer to millennials) are woke, but overwhelmingly the younger section do not seek institutional approval (couldn't get it anyway) and so aren't led by the radical liberalism of the PMC (as millennials were). Plus, now every other school / guidance counsellor / social worker / university is promoting woke radlib ideology it's not viewed as ‘cool' (every generation rebels in their youth, as Nick Cave said if he were 16 today he'd go to church [to be counter-cultural]) and that's partly why we see a resurgence of trad. Many polls indicate Gen-Alpha (turning 14) are the most right-wing / conservative in generations. But there is a huge split amongst the sexes (young men are much more likely to be rightwing / conservative than young women).

except that's not what woke means. yall should stop talking about things you have no idea about [black woman speaking]

Now I'm starting to understand better why some people think being ‘woke' is a bad thing smh

it's conservatives taking words ( aave) they don't know the meaning of and basically turning them into a slur. so now the entire country thinks woke is something it's not [black woman speaking]

https://twitter.com/DrJenIzaakson/status/1792166612235137399

We don't get no rewards for not eating there

Not funding organizations that hate you?!?!

I think this is a fair point. But at the end of the day, no ethical consumption in capitalism. I fund governments that hate me every single day, baby. May as well get some Polynesian with it.

“There's no ethical consumption under capitalism “ doesn't mean I should spend and vote with my dollars recklessly

I don't vote recklessly. But you're a great example why I eat the chicken. This shit turns you off to regular people who have a lot in common with you. What am I really helping by freaking out over chicken and telling them about themselves? Cutting them off? Over some nuggets.

Just shows the addictiveness of fried MSG

Highly incorrect. MSG is not addictive just awhole lot of racially charged history behind it. Many things have MSG both naturally and added. The addictiveness comes from fats and salts. Chick fil a is just more of brand type to show off similar to iPhones and other hyped things.

@Aevann

solar panels are communism or something

I can answer in a single sentence, based on observing my coworkers talking about it.

"Everything is more expensive since Biden became President."

That's it. That's why everyone's gonna frick this up.

You should be grateful your groceries cost double, chuds!

People are still stupid

With democracy itself on the line, the 2024 election will almost certainly be the nation's most consequential since 1860.

The most important election in history!

Vote Blue

... no matter who!

Rest of the world is watching america like it's the wierd uncle at the family barbecue about to dip his peepee in hot sauce - again - despite being hospitalised for doing exactly the same thing before

I thought the rest of the world was too busy importing migrants and wondering why their own populations continue to chud out.

Because illiterate rednecks feel stupid around anyone with half an education and want to be in power. They however are just tools for a wannabe dictator.

Dear subhuman filth

Because he's not in jail for treason yet.

Any day now!

Racism. Christian Nationalism. Uneducated. Wealthy people

He said the buzzwords!

Because having a black man as president 15 years ago broke something in millions of people. A lot of things simmered for a long time, but that was it.

This is why those same people have adopted a 100% or nothing approach to politics and their view of a conservative way of life: any shift, be it minor, is blown to epic proportion and fought against vehemently.

Teaching acceptance of others? It's indoctrination.

Just let the child cut off his peepee, chud.

A modicum of regulations for guns in the form of a background check or waiting period? Coming to take all guns .

lol We already do background checks.

immigration reform? Open borders

That's what we have now.

police reform? Defund the police.

This is literally what Progressives said and if you asked for clarification they were happy to confirm that's exactly what they meant.

marijuana and drug reform? Drug dealers and junkies will be on your porch.

He needs to read @911roofer posts.

fair taxes/tax reform? The U.S. hates job creators.

Define fair.

You get the point.

Any attempt at creating equity is seen as tipping the scales against them, and from that aspect, they are correct to an extent. The scales have been so lopsided for so long that it probably does feel that way.

Equity!

TLDR: When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression.

"I'm going to try it for the first time, do you have any reviews?"

"I looked at the list (a list of foreign men that members pass around) and it was the kid's dad."

"Is your peepee big?"

"Seongnam Pilot ○○○ Knowing Desi (Member Who Uses Dating App)?"

"I'm African and I'm not good at (s*x). The size was just like that."

The country's largest women-only community with 844,000 members has been embroiled in a controversy over the "women's version of the Nth room."

The 'Nth Room Incident', which broke out in February 2019, refers to a case of digital s*x crimes in which illegal pornography was created, traded, and distributed through a group chat room opened on Telegram. The victim was a woman and the perpetrator was a man. In the women's community, similar information is circulating, with only the genders of the victims and perpetrators reversed.

Community members were sharing detailed information about men they had met on dating apps that matched them with foreign men in the café, so-called "reviews."

Among them were minors. They post real photos of various foreign men and exchange information by obscenely mentioning the other person's appearance and genitals, such as "I have to do ○○", "I see ○○", and "I have seen this ○○○".

The so-called "U.S. Army Men Big Data Tank Count" list they shared in the café contained three pages of detailed information about U.S. soldiers. One member who seems to have taken the lead in making the list said, "I'm going to make it like an encyclopedia." There was also a "list of foreign men who use dating apps" shared among community members.

Attorney Kim Seung-hwan of GB Law Firm said, "Their actions may constitute a violation of the Information and Communications Network Act in that they are defamatory, and unauthorized disclosure of personal information may be punishable if it is done continuously or repeatedly under the Stalking Punishment Act."

According to the current law, a person who publicly discloses facts through an information and communication network for the purpose of slandering a person and defames another person shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than 30 million won, and a person who defames a person with false facts shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than seven years, suspension of qualification (occupational group) for not more than 10 years, or a fine of not more than 50 million won. A person who commits the crime of stalking shall be sentenced to up to three years in prison or fined not more than 30 million won.

Recently, the community took the lead in opposing the 2024 KXF The Fashion Festival, saying that it was an event that sexualized women. They called KXF a "prostitution expo" and joined a petition asking the local government to stop the event where KXF was scheduled to be held. Externally, while criticizing the sexual commodification of women, they point out that degrading men as sexual objects among themselves is not a double standard.

Community members opposed the KXF, saying, "It means not to do it in Korea at all. "Understand", "It's disgusting to look for other places", "I'm tired of it", "I'm suspicious why you can't do that", and "Dirty things". KXF, which features Japanese adult video (AV) actors, was eventually canceled after being "rejected by local governments and women's groups."

The sexual harassment approach of female community members towards foreigners also poses a risk of racism. In this community, foreign men are often referred to as objects of depersonalized sexual desire and consumption.

Koo Jeong-woo, a professor of sociology at Sungkyunkwan University, said, "There is a stereotype that men are the perpetrators and women are the victims of the so-called 'Nth room,' but this is an example that shows that women can be perpetrators at any time." He added, "Whether you are a man or a woman, you need to look at yourself to make sure that you are not participating in these sexual crimes."

Most Based Comments

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

Isn't the whole game alternate history? Why do you have such a big problem with this? (16)

Because I'm sick of people like Krayt and Gamingcirclejerk acting like every criticism of a black character is automatically racist. Most people are not these vapid cartoon characters who go "MOST UNORTHODOX!!!!!" every time a black character is on screen. (-4)

Basedness: 🔥🔘🔘🔘🔘

Assassin's Creed was always historical fantasy to begin with, who fricking cares if it's not 100% realistic? It never has been.That's why it feels like the people losing their minds over Yasuke might have ulterior motives. (5)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

That's because you're not focusing on the actually important complaints. The devs have said over and over that they would not have a historical figure as a main character out of respect. It is not a coincidence that the character to buck this trend is the one black man on the entire archipelago. (10)

I'll agree that Yasuke being a main playable character strikes me as pandering, but he's also a very interesting historical character to base your narrative around and it allows the player to play as a stranger in a strange land, and it's ultimately not doing any harm to any groups, so why is everyone so mad about seeing a minority lead character in a AAA game. There's a lot of other games about white characters in out of place lands that no one has cried out over, so why is there so much butthurt when it's a black guy in a foreign land? I'm not saying explicitly that y'all are racist, but it's mighty suspicious that mfers are so mad (3)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Good lord. You people need to get over yourselves and get some therapy. Yasuke existed, he was a black samurai, AC wants to make a story about him. Another thing, AC is "alternate" history, with fricking time travel, a magic apple, and George Washington being a tyrannical dictator for fricks sake. Stop being so butthurt about a non-white person being a protagonist.If you don't like it, don't play it. So tired of all this stupid petty bullshit from you people. Just shut up, no one wants to hear your idiocy (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡🔘

Get. The frick. Over it.You've got a Japanese protagonist in the game. Play her. Were you this pissed off about William in Nioh? Or any of the horseshit in resident evil? (1)

Both terrible counter examples, lolEdit: I saw your reply, and then you deleted it.William Adam's (Niohs protag) by EVERY historical account was an official samurai with 20+ years in Japan. He died and was buried in Japan. Yasuke does not have even a tenth of the documentation Adam's has about him. Also, Adam lived there for 7 times the duration Yasuke did.Resident Evil? I do not understand your point. Do you mean the Spanish Village in 4 or Africa in 5? Because with both examples, you mainly play as someone who has literally no connection to the area. No one is claiming Leon is a Spanish warrior or Chris an African one. In the case of 5, you can play as a local in Sheva.Both of these titles are goofy butt games with monsters in them, not historically adjacent epics, lol.Lots of this outrage is cry baby nonsense, but these counter examples are bad.

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

-

I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in an academic journal. I'd much rather scientists spend their time making eli5 videos.

-

Just curious, why do you write like that? Reminds when I was 11 and wanted to sound smarter on the internet.

-

My reply is an attempt to address the original comment with precision. To diagram its intended meaning:

alternative theories of consciousness

"Any body of academic thought" [I accede the scientific legitimacy of the domain of discourse, rather than dismissing it.]

know where to go to find well-argued positions on the topic.

"whose paradigmatic communication medium" [This is the beginning of my challenge to the Original Commenter, by granting the information provided authoritative status, which they perhaps cannot fully defend.]

On YouTube you can find plenty of discussions

"is video rather than text"

it's particularly important to explore these discussions as dispassionately as possible if you regard materialism as the only theory of mind that has any scientific credibility or validity.

"is prima facie suspect" [The Original Commenter has asserted that discourse and engagement are important, yet provided only time consuming, low signal-to-noise sources of information.]

As Christopher Hitchens reminds us in his legendary oration on John Stuart Mill and free speech [2]

"Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?" [The only written citations are 1) generic and 2) ancillary to the core topic. I invite the Original Commenter to further his argument more substantively, without demanding exhaustive citations.]

-

OK, let me rewrite it:

Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?

Academic content is usually in text, not video. Do you have links to written work from them?

Shorter and the exact same meaning. Also doesn't sound like you've been perusing your thesaurus all day.

-

No, the second approach's meaning is more obtuse. What does "usually" mean? Are there acceptable alternatives? If content is in an alternative mode of communication, is it acceptable?

These vagaries permitted in your revision are clear and inherent in the original commenter's motion. Therefore, I submit your adjudication of "shorter and the exact same meaning" is woefully superficial in it's drive for simplicity, to the point there is no thought left that is clear in the original garden. Further, exact and technical communication is what separates Hacker News commenting from the hordes of subreddits that thrive on imprecise babble.

-

At minimum, this does not capture that I _am_ challenging the Original Commenter ("prima facie suspect") to more rigorously defend his position, but doing so respectfully. "One salient" written source is a carefully chosen framing: the OC cannot meet it by replying with support peripheral or meta to the main argument, but neither can he dismiss my request as burdensome, demanding multiple links.

The proposed revision suffers from its terseness, losing both nuance and completeness.

-

Communication is about being understood. Not about crafting the perfect sentence. Even if you craft the perfect sentence, that will be the perfect sentence _for you_, and it might be completely lost on many people, some perhaps even more intelligent than you.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure, but the subtext of your comment is "I opened a thesaurus and tried to seem smart", which is why this conversation derailed here. You can't ignore the subtext to craft a mathematically perfect sentence..

-

Communication is about being understood.

The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure

Indeed, relying on the implicit when the explicit is sufficient [0] does a disservice to one's readers, in whose ability and charity to comprehend my surface text, without presuming confounding subtextual meaning, I have every confidence.

[0] It is not always; some things can only be gestured at, not grasped.

I hope some day you realize how cringe your comments are.

Real butthurt about this one.

Made friends while rockclimbing earlier this year, good group of guys, sans one that gets a little too close, goes out of their way to do the "gay ironically" bit, starts singling out my girlfriend to be friendly toward. I'm not r-slurred, she is apparently.

She's like "can you believe that xxx wants me to go to the gym with him and help him approach a crush, I thought he was gay!" and other things that remind me why women are underdiagnosed for autism.

Anyway, after telling her its obvious he likes her and I don't think he's the type to respect boundaries, she keeps taking him at face value, and he asks her last night if she wants to frick the next time she works from home. She tells me I was right about him and said I could look through the messages if I wanted, like I need confirmation that men shoot their shot when they see an opening.

Reach out to the guy personally, he avoids my call, obviously. Post in a shared chat later that day asking if folks are downtown, he calls me a cute twink for using a group chat he's in "after he tried banging my gf" and he leaves the chat before I can reply.

Social dynamics at play are 1) he's been in this friend group since high school and we're all in our 30s 2) I've hung out with these guys a couple times over the past few months, since I had to stop working out for a bit after breaking my leg this year. I'm 90% sure I'm not gonna hear from these dudes again because the potential drama's too r-slurred. Lose no sleep over the ugly dude that thought he was a threat, but the other guys were chill and its hard not to blame my girlfriend for being r-slurred.

I don't know how women past the age of 20 can't activate that pattern recognition area of their brain to figure out that guys will say whatever sets them up to get in their pants. Having to comfort her this morning after she embarrassed me with this was the most emasculating shit I've had to deal with from a partner.
