which apparently is worth being downvoted for

Yeah, that surprised me. My guess is that your comment came off a little "how can this be popular if I haven't hesrd of it?" Which feels kinda boomery.

Don't know what to tell you, he's been on Canadian news a few times, subject of at least two Economist articles, BBC articles, Guardian articles etc. Maybe you missed the reports? I mean, if you don't know the name of the guy announced to headline the Super Bowl (by definition, fairly goshdarn famous) it's not like you'd be expected to be in touch with who is popular etc.

I mean, if you're haven't really listened to arguably the biggest artist in the world, are you really surprised you don't know about the other big ones?

That moment when we realize we're at the ppint where pop culture is passing us by rather than being targeted at us...

(Honestly, if it weren't for some of the younglings on my soccer team I'd have only learned about Bad Bunny in the Economist, which is a pretty embarrassingly uncool way to learn about pop culture.)

According to number of streams it'd be Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny, but Bunny has a much smaller catalogue and fewer active years. (And I think conservatives would be as annoyed if Taylor played as she was pretty outspoken about trump.)

But yeah, his music has been everywhere. Anecdotally, I think it's been played at 3/3 weddings I was at this summer, which I thought was neat considering none of the couples speaks Spanish.

Does he actually not remember he tried this less than 6 months ago and already had to back down?

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. Making fun of their hypocrisy almost feels like shooting fish in a gun-sized barrel at this point.

Yeah, didn't look great for the flame. I thought he came back in the game but turns out I had him confused with someone else.

It's never Lupus!

In the post, the thing about which you are commenting, there's the death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage.

I provided both in the comment in this post.

I have no idea what accurate tallies you are demanding or what they would have to do with the Guardians headline. Are you a bot?

I think you might mean quite a bit earlier than the bronze age? I'm not an expert by any means but my understanding is that the Egyptian bureaucracy and a tax system meant that slaves could build the pyramids in the bronze age.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe the Luddites/weavers might be the first job loss victims but you're probably right.
