There's not much I miss about Reddit, but one of those things is a proper community to put jokes that have been run into the ground. The unnecessary arrow is one thing, but then the second reaction image really kill the otherwise mildly amusing joke.

He isekais before the tropes of Isekai are established (1970/80s I think), so they go completely over his head. So, for example, when the tsundere elf denies liking him, he takes it at face value and leaves rather then stay in what he believes to be hostile company.

The Supreme Court call that "compelling"

After a crushing electoral defeat in 2018, one senior opposition politician told the Financial Times how he had spent the night in a “humble home” to learn what it was like, proudly showing pictures he had taken on his mobile phone.

“After I returned to Mexico City, it struck me that perhaps my maid lived in a similar sort of home, so I showed her the photos and sure enough it turned out that her home was very similar,” he beamed.

This... this is probably the single most out-of-touch thing I'd ever rich. A rich dude took pictures of a normal house, and then bragged to his maid that he went there.

I attended BYU-I in person for three years. There was a lot of dumb s### that happened there, but I can say with confidence this wasn't one of them. To not be a buzzkill though, I'll share an actual saying that people use around campus: "BYU I do." Because like 80-90% of students there expect to be married by the time they graduate.

To save people from having to squint at the small text; top chart is measured in seconds, bottom chart is measured in days.

"Critical Race Theory"; it's a college-level class about how racism affects the recording of history, but the term has been misappropriated for several years now to mean any acknowledgement of the USA's past (and current) struggles with racism. The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, and the Civil Rights Movement are all getting lumped together with the term (as well as other major events) and has been used as an umbrella term to restrict schools' abilities to teach those subjects.

Unfortunately, it seems most politicians are Ghost types, since it never seems to affect them.
