Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement English
515·6 months agoI agree. I hate Trump as much as anyone else, but if a President I liked did this, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
In principle, I don’t mind if a space mainly used for events, with chairs placed there often, should be hardscape. It’s not as if lawn can’t be put back there in the future. Lawn isn’t a heritage tree or rose shrub.
To be fair though, the photo makes it look pretty huge as an expanse of paved area.

3·7 months agoYou put your finger on it. Most of the ads say, “this is not for you,” to a young girl.
Old ads for cars, alcohol, cigarettes etc. were like that as well. They’re aimed at the hotshot guy who has a chick he’s treating poorly, or more accurately, the guy who wants to have chicks throwing themselves at him. They have nothing to offer a woman or girl, because why would she want to be ignored arm candy?
I guess the one with the woman holding a controller in the bathtub may be an exception.
I’m sure a lot of boys and men were weirded out by these ads too.
It would be funny if earwax could be expelled intentionally, by clenching our ears and extruding a big ol tube of wax.


This could have even been a one-panel comic.
