Aside from the subject of the article, when are we going to just stop with the "torched!" and "slammed!" and "destroys!" titles?? I hate them so much. Especially when someone "slams!" someone else. Like who the fuck came up with saying that.

You just slammed the entire news industry!

[–] tillary 7 points 1 year ago

I'd never heard the word torched used that way before. I thought someone literally set her on fire.

It's only a matter of time before we see the headline:

User ZzyzxRoad Claps Back at Stupid Clickbait Headlines!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Those are better than "throws shade"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I hate it too, along with saying something "just" happened in the headline.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's to grab the readers attention and bring activity to the article and subsequent post. Worked really well, didn't it?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Gawd I wish they would stop embedding twitX in news articles. Especially when hosting video.

Wouldn't it be wild if the Orange One's wife ended up being coconspirator #6??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

You just gave me so much hope.

Hes like the kid leader in Tropic Thunder.
