I had no idea it was about too few words. I always thought it was that they add all that fluff to maximize their advertising revenue, making you scroll and scroll through a story before you find the recipe. Seems like either way, it’s thanks to Google….

in what way? I too was about to post, “is this accurate in the EU?”

Why give him such a glow up?
Vaguely recall a Dr. Cox (Scrubs tv show) line “The trick is to hate your body” from like 20 years ago
Hate it sooner than later, i guess
Oh my, I hope you’re wrong but fear you may be right
And just such a banger quotation as this one always is. More and more prescient.
To join OP’s sentiment, as a dad, I also hope a side effect of generative AI is that any girl can credibly dismiss anything unwanted as AI generated
Wishful thinking, I’m sure
I’d even argue it’s the first rule of any comedy: don’t punch down / only punch up
“Do you have a say or vote in how this bar is run?”
No, i was joking, poorly I admit, that he workshopped the pronunciation, so boot-edge-edge, not Buttigieg, was what was ‘workshopped’ and “what he decided on”, to answer your question…
because these are the world’s most cynical people at McKinsey, who workshop everything and make the whole world ‘plastic’ and fake and “optimized” and “streamlined” and so on.
It’s just, who does that? It reeks of a politician being “annointed” overnight rather than emerging on the stage naturally, where word of mouth would easily make it a non issue. If you have to tell everyone, again and again, how to pronounce your name, maybe you just don’t have the juice or whatever.
I don’t think, Idk, Kucinich, for example, went all over telling everyone constantly “it’s Coo-sin-itch!” It’s coo-sin-itch!”
Or Mike Krzyzewski, “hey my name is pronounced shi-zeff-ski! Shi-zeff-ski!”
Buttigieg is probably just used to like, showing up one day at supermarket chain HQs or whatever with his “deck” of slides, meeting people for the first time ever right before recommending cutting 40% of all jobs there, and listing all his Ivy League credentials and how to pronounce his name on the previous slide. Nobody knew how to pronounce his name because yes it’s unusual but also because he’s parachuted in and immediately automatically “matters”
Yes, I have a big problem with this guy. 😅
It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.
Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.
You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)
Lemmy has great content, thanks to people like you, my friend
If you came up with that, wow, well done!
It is in the history that matters, ours
It’s super effective! Against emotional support vehicles (ESVs)
Did some light research The Power of Nightmares sounds positively brilliant The Trap sounds like it might run contrary to my own personal philosophy which is basically Rutger Bregman’s Humankind, which is to say people are usually good (there’s more to it of course but that’s the gist)
The Trap has a title card and description on Wikipedia that appear to be far more cynical?
Yeeees

Haven’t even heard of most these but have bookmarked your message so i can find the next best to watch, if not attend a view-a-thon
Are the views you have yet to do in order of recommendation/preference??
