imagine being a young journalist and hopeful writer and thinking "the washington post--aka the jeff bezos vanity media brand--is where i will find my voice."

like no wonder it's a bunch of white mannequins in oxford button downs.

And they call backstab each other like crazy in their efforts to be the one to write the article that's the nth version of "Why taxing billionaires is bad".

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHAT'S AN EASY A? LET ME GUESS, IT'S SOME SORT OF HUMANITIES CLASS OR A GENDER STUDIES COURSE?

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago (3 children)

When I was in school, the undergrad classes with the highest fail rates were:

  1. Statistics
  2. Organic Chemistry
  3. Art History
  4. The other Art History course
  5. No seriously what the fuck
  6. NON-ART MAJORS STOP TAKING THESE CLASSES IT'S NOT AN EASY GRADE LIKE THIS IS AN ACTUAL DISCIPLINE MISNOMER'D REALLY IT'S THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF POLITICS AND ECONOMICS
[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

When I was in undergrad I took an art history course that was meant for people of all majors. I had to read and write so much for that course... It had equivalent workload to my engineering major courses. I loved it so much.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

Do take statistics though. Not because it's easy but because it is hard (and how they pull the wool over your head)

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I took a Michelangelo course that kicked my ass, but I also was fascinated by it. Still remember a decent amount from it which is more than what I can say for most courses.

I think i would get more out of watching four different mayonnaise jars for an hour

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

I’m sure these guys could tell you all about the best brand of mayonnaise.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Mayonnaise being good isn't a white people thing it's a "do you like your dressings and dipping sauces emulsified or creamy" thing tho

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Totally, my joke was more that these guys are the types to give unsolicited opinions as fact.

UH, UH, YEAH, WHO WOULD EVER DO THAT

[–] I_Voxgaard@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I do not; keep that slime off my food.

P.S. - i love your cooking posts

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah well it's the only way you're going to get anything resembling a vegan lime crema from me and lime crema is the best savory condiment ever invented by a person so you're just missing out on huge flavor i guess

Also missing out on delicious shit like toum which is like garlic mayonnaise (no it's not aioli, did i call it aioli)

Also thank you

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Toum is like aioli made by someone who had the courage to add as much garlic to it as I believe any emulsified oil sauce should have.

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, uh, how do you make vegan lime crema? (Asking for a friend)

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

It's just limey mayonnaise, just take vegan mayo and add a bit of salt and pepper and a lot of minced garlic and garlic powder and then whisk in lime juice until it's runny (you can add cold water if it gets too limey first)

It's not as good as non vegan because of no sour cream but i haven't had any vegan sour cream that's good, the only recipes i've had at work are like "make some gross blended up tofu" and it's like nah that's bad i ain't doin that

Also there's a recipe for Tokyo street fries where the seasoning is basically salt, pepper, nutritional yeast and powdered sesame, and the recipe i had called for it to go with a sriracha aioli which is just sriracha mayonnaise and it's sooooo good, eating that made all the weirdos who put mayonnaise on their fries make sense to me

[–] Poutine@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I can't believe that white people took "aioli" and turned it into mayonnaise plus something else. Aioli is a specific thing and it is not mayonnaise.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Don't blame me, i had to inform my sous chef that garlic is an emulsifier. I also wasn't believed when i was like "it's literally in the name dawg it's... ai oli, garlic and oil dawg, that's, that's what it is"

But you know what though, toum is better anyway and nobody knows what tf is in crackerland so nobody argues with me about what it is when i make it

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Convincing people that toum is the greatest is easiest when you refer to it as "Trader Joe's Garlic Spread"

[–] pierre_delecto@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Did the same with moonshine which ironically was already a white people thing. Rather than hillbilly liquor it's now some flavored spirit

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Look - Casual Oxford Attired Guy #3 - Duke's is a superior mayonnaise. I should know. I'm Casual Oxford Attired Guy #1.

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The answer is Hellmann's vegan mayo

Mayo is a top tier sandwich condiment and you'll not convince me otherwise

Why did you link to it? We are literally blowing the numbers up?

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

Link or lib sometimes causes collateral damage sadness

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

I'm naughty.

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

these dipshits are in favor of conversion therapy apparently. content warning for transphobia because one of the hosts uses the phrase "radical gender ideology" without a shred of irony. absolutely disgusting. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=Yx8ZdUrrkUc

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

I assumed they are awful lib/neolib dipshits. I misjudged them. They're far worse than that.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

whew that's a lot of psychic damage, there's that one guy but then the rest of the panel are just agreeing with him and being like 'well why can't you teach both sides, not very freedom to restrict how a business operates'

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago

This feels like Vox going from posting cute little explainer videos about architecture or whatever, and pivoting to only posting boring lib podcasts that nobody wants to watch.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

People listen to pods to either learn something, laugh or both at the same time.

This is a pod setup specifically to do the opposite on both counts. Of course it's failing.

Some of those views (10ish?) are surely from a Bluesky post making fun of that particular episode just a few hours ago.

This Washington Post Opinions podcast episode has 470 views on YouTube.

Reporting in as the 252nd viewer of this video after three weeks. You guys are really doing numbers! Time to renegotiate your salary!

So more than half now are people marveling at the low view count. It's like some kind of reverse Streisand effect.

They still have some videos that haven't gone this viral yet though. This video titled "Trump Goes TACO In Iran" has 23 views after seven weeks. I'm giving a link through an invidious instance on the offchance (I have no idea tbh) that views through that will preserve this video's pristine purity.

Clockwise from top left: Will, Felix, Matt, Chris

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 13 points 4 days ago

The only thing I really learned from college was the courses taken didn't matter, just the GPA to those hiring. cough google before they removed the don't be evil part

So it's not easy As being the issue it's again fucking corporations hiring processes fucking people over.

Then again unsurprising bezos would want to try and get people to not get educations

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Why does this teams call have 4 IT guys?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Still more popular than Third Way's videos

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't this a hot topic in like 2013?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The Four White Guys with Their Legs Crossed know what's hot. And - more importantly - what should be hot.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They only thing that's hot in that picture is their legs. Those trousers look like some awful poly-wool blend.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Do they call each other gay and say their dick is small?

"Easy As" are not ruining education, they are a symptom of it. They are the band-aid to vanishing critical thinking skills.

[–] ComradeLove@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

They're all really shy about the possible outline of their weiners.
