"Grown ass men with sausage fingers are also out there painting tiny dolls using nail art brushes so they can play house... with their friends," Jeong joked. "American men have plenty of manual dexterity."

OH, man. I feel attacked. I'm going to cry onto my D&D minis now.

So, NYT, do the Swiss all have micro hands? How do you explain Swiss watchmaking? For that matter, how about American watchmaking? America used to make all kinds of tiny wristwatches, including movements. There is also a few current American watchmakers, with a few building intricate movements.

"All the crap that fits, we print."

It takes tiny hands to fit all the type on the page.

Never change, NYT. Wait maybe change a little.

Nyt is compromised

I agree with the outrage, but I don't know that using race science to combat race science is the way to attack this horseshit. Futurism essentially says "the NYT says Asians have small hands, but what the race science actually says is that hand size is yada yada etc. etc."

Like, is race science silly or is it not? 🤷‍ If science said that, yes, Asian women have unusually small and "nimble" fingers, it wouldn't make a bit of difference; the entire concept is stupid and racist, not just the inaccuracy of the hand measurements. Needling over the microdifferences in index finger girth between Asians and Americans (who may well be of Asian descent themselves) is missing the whole-ass point.

Owned by Bezos, or am I misremembering?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No, that's the Washington Post. The NYT did change ownership a few years ago and that's why it's gone to shit, but the owner isn't a household name.

Does anyone else remember this fake commercial from a real life movie with actual brand names in it?

Crazy People, Sony Commercial

People are just now waking up to realize a pro genocide & pro wealth disparity publication isn't moral?
