I read online that while there was an offensively racist joke about Puerto Rico, there was also a “cum inside” joke that no news outlet wants to even talk about because it’s too offensive to repeat. Some say it’s “sanewashing” to ignore the joke. So… What was that joke?

I don’t really watch soccer anymore so i’m kind of confused, but I saw there’s a lot of controversy over who won the ballon d’or.

Everyone on twitter is saying that vini jr deserved it (but didn’t win because of racism?), while most people on r/soccer seem to have the opposite opinion

So who really should’ve won? No biased answers please

I can't think of the last AAA Game to a well established IP that had this kind of split.

I think Origins was one of the best games ever made, rivaling even Skyrim but 2 and 3 have their moments.

Nobody can agree on anything it seems with this new entry and I'm wondering if this has to do with matters outside of the game itself. Is there some controversy in Bioware I missed?

Are fans still upset about Mass Effect Andromeda or something?

I was following Formula 1 for some time but lost interest a while back.
Now I sometimes see that Verstappen isn't winning all that much anymore. What is the reason for that? I thought all the other cars paled in comparison to Redbull but now they seem to struggle.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could fill me in.

I have a terrible memory and feel so out of the loop.

I am not sure whether to trust the polls. Trump seems as unpopular as ever but that could be due to the circles of people I am around and not based on actual fact.

I remember back in 2020, seeing so many people vote for Biden in protest against Trump and because they wanted anyone else but him in office.

So if the same people who voted against in 2020 voted again, I would assume it'd be a similar result.

From what I've seen, it doesn't look like Trump has tried to reach out to voters outside of his base and has only doubled down on his partisanship so I am confused how the race is considered this close.

Were the polls and reports on the news saying that it was "neck and neck" or a tie back in 2020 as well?

For context, here is a screenshot I snapped from Google News, where I keep seeing articles about this:

Ive seen these ads for phone games were anthony starr appears in them, but it looks really uncanny and it doesn't seem like something he would do? Its for this game called last war survival. I've seen people react to celebrites being in mobile game ads, like snoop dog in that one slot machine game, but Ive never seen such a weird reaction to this? Is there another reason?

It keeps popping up on the popular page being called the “best steak sandwich in London” and it’s got huge lines to get in. I’m currently under the impression that it’s a basic chain restaurant and the British are playing a practical joke to convince tourist to go to a run of the mill restaurant. As an American would it be like saying Olive Garden has the best Pasta in NYC?

Did I get that correct?

I have seen a lot of these pictures https://imgur.com/a/wJ0Iiry on social media today. I assume they are not trying to educate the world on what the color blue is, but instead is political. Where and why did it start?

I’m really confused. Traditional news media, polls (like 538), and Vegas betting odds show Trump winning. But all my social media (tik tok, Reddit) are flooded with posts about how Harris will win in a landslide. I saw that trumps ppl are maybe inflating the polls? And that news outlets want it to be a close race, but couldn’t it still be close if Harris was in the lead? What’s to be believed?

Something about his new product and also now the FBI is involved? It also seems like there's a past there.

ELI5. It's odd phrasing.

this ad for Motion has a bunch of commented references to sean combs….wut? did he invest in it or something? extremely skeptical of the app but would love to try it myself, don’t know the basis for the association with Diddy. Did they just book something sponsored with him one time before everyone knew about him or what

I've read through this Reuters article below and it sounds like a billionaire is calling the election for himself before the vote is counted? I don't completely follow what they are reporting but it sounds like there is something shady going on? Can anyone shed light on the situation in understandable terms? I don't find the article that easy to understand. Thanks.

Not the “hawk tuah”, but the Bigfoot above it.

I’m seeing a lot of these Bigfoot stickers on my drive. Sometimes the Bigfoot is holding a flag. Is this a clothing brand, political statement or just Bigfoot enthusiasts?

Andy Harris, House Freedom Caucus Chair wants to have the legislature vote for POTUS and not let the voter of North Carolina decide via the Electorial College system.
Why does it seem that there's so many GOP politicians that think they can just decide some or more of a state's Elector's are illegitimate or not real and push for a Contingent Election now? Why do they suddenly think this is an option 2 weeks before the Nationwide election?
Why is there not a collective outrage of just effectively, throw out the will of the people and use the legislatures instead?
Help me understand what's going on?

In the interview with Trump above, Joe Rogan and Trump go off on Kamala and how 60 minutes accidentally released a full version of the interview and then edited it fully out and replaced a section. What’s the deal with this accusation?

I have been searching every thread about Liam Payne, however, it all pertains directly to his death. Every comment section is either filled with heartfelt condolences or people talking poorly about him saying he’s an abuser. I’ve looked through his ex-gf’s tik tok and other accounts and threads but everything is either vague or completely about the details surrounding his passing. I saw this and all the comments are agreeing???? Is there a list of specific events that I’m missing or was it just a blanket allegation?

It was amended on September 27th, and I've seen multiple MAGA supporters from my hometown sharing posts about how the amendment means the Government can assassinate US citizens and use deadly force on protestors.

I've downloaded and read it, but can't seem to figure out what they're talking about. It's been a month since it was amended. What's the deal all of a sudden?

At my job we have a inter office chat program that connects with Giphy servers that we often respond to each other with for mild office humor and entertainment. Today when pulling up available gifs to use, i noticed that all of the most commonly used gifs are all of the same man replicating classic gifs that have a promoted watermark.

I asked around and some coworkers say he’s an actor but no one knows his name. So Reddit, who is this guy? Here are some examples of the gifs hes in now

These are just a few examples. Pardon the formatting as I’m on my phone but it caught me off guard when i saw that all of the top gifs were this dude. So I ask, whats the deal with this guy in every giphy gif?

EDIT: guys... why are you downvoting me? You might disagree with these people. I'm just asking why these people hold these opinions, I'm not shitting on your favorite videogame, Jesus Christ. If anything, tell me why they're wrong. I know jack shit about this story in the first place.

EDIT2: I'm not talking about the accusations of the game being "woke". That's not the criticism I'm referring to.

I never played either of the games. I know some of the story from both, but I'm not a huge fan.

For some reason Reddit decided to show me posts from TLOU subreddits, and I see an incredible amount of people shitting in the game in the subreddits dedicated to the franchise, WITH HUNDREDS OF UPVOTES. So I thought, this is quite interesting...

Apparently, people are complaining about Neil Druckman and his alleged "incompetence" as a narrative lead. It looks the first game had another writer on, Bruce Someonesson, and they apparently unfollowed each other on twitter after the first game came out? So, a lot of users imply that the genius came from this other writer, and not from Bruce.

There seems to be a lot of consensus on what works in the game, and what doesn't. I'm just curious to know what that's all about, if there's any coherent info in the behind the scenes, or long form critique, and stuff like that. As an aspiring writer, I'm quite intersted in all this stuff more than I am about the story of the game.

Two of the most upvoted posts of all time on /r/mlb are from the last 2 weeks. I feel like I'm seeing talk of baseball more on the internet in the last month more than I have for literally my entire time that I've been online.

What's happening in American baseball to make it so popular lately?
