Wikipedia lists influencer as a synonym for internet celebrity, so I guess just when they become famous.
Unless you take the title literally, then it’s whenever they become influential over a statistically significant portion of the population.

Aluminum soda cans have plastic linings, because the acids can dissolve the aluminum. What that means for your drinking bottle, I don’t know.
This is why pirates were wearing eye patches, to be able to enter the hull of the ship and see immediately without lighting up a candle. Fire is not a good idea inside a wooden ship filled with black powder.
This is one theory for why pirates wore eyepatches. We haven’t found any historical evidence to confirm it. Meanwhile, we have at least a few documented cases of pirates wearing eyepatches for protecting a damaged eye.
If I were writing the Star Wars movies with the benefit of hindsight, I would allude to the fact that Vader seems much more aggressive when dealing with Leia compared to other Rebels, like something about her Force aura is triggering to him.
This is not true. There are a litany of laws that capturing a wild duck from a public park would be a violation of, so don’t do it.
I pirate content that is not in print within my region. Fan subs of Japanese TV shows, emulated games for discontinued consoles, things like that.
As an American who has gotten very used to metric units in studying engineering, the general rule I picked up is that you typically only change units every three orders of magnitude. So 8 decameters would typically be expressed as 80 meters, maybe 0.08 kilometers. Decameters and hectometers are a thing, but they’re not common units. Even centimeters don’t see much use compared to millimeters.
Yes, in fact such a machine already exists. It’s called an air conditioner. An air conditioner is just a heat pump that pumps heat out of a building.
Yeah, if you want a single system for heating and cooling, you’d be better off getting a heat pump. It’s the most energy efficient thing for both anyway, from what I’ve been told.
Then Sea of Monsters ended up being worse somehow.
Not normal. See a doctor, at the very least get the serious problems ruled out.
There’s definitely some Reddit communities I miss. In fact, I recently redownloaded Reddit on my phone to get my fix. Granted, a lot of the communities I miss are NSFW anyway, so Reddit doesn’t get any money from me using them.
A bird wants to conquer the universe with jelly beans. His daughter has to stop him, but keeps getting into fights with his Roombas.
Because the Republican Party aims to represent the minority of Americans who do oppose abortion access. That’s the job of a political party, to represent a voting interest. If every political party aimed to represent the voting interests of the majority, they would become irrelevant.
Futurama has done meta jokes before. It may be lazy writing, but this isn’t them cashing in on a trend, this is Futurama being Futurama.
I haven’t seen the new episode, but this sounds like the same joke Futurama has made in both of its previous revivals. Bender’s Big Score opened with the crew lamenting that the Box Network cancelled their delivery license. Rebirth opened with the crew noting the comedy in the random wormhole from the end of Into the Wild Green Yonder happening to be Earth’s central channel for shipping. So this isn’t entirely new to Futurama.
Depends on whether we go by broadcast or production numbering. Some production seasons got spread out across two broadcast seasons.
Venom (2018). I thought the action was exciting, it had a great sense of humor (I even liked some of the gross jokes), and I liked all of the character dynamics. Honestly, most of the complaints I hear about it boil down to “this movie isn’t for me”, or “this doesn’t fit my interpretation of the character”. Which are fine opinions to have, but I’m not sure it’s fair to call the movie bad because of it. Then again, that’s just the complaints I’ve heard. I’m sure there are people out there who hate it for fairer reasons, and I’ve just never met them.
Me too. Pretty standard way of pronouncing word-initial X in English.
I think the claim that the world is anti-intellectual is somewhat biased. I don’t know if that’s a sampling bias, a cognitive bias, or some other kind of bias. But one way or another, I feel like you’re overblowing things.
