If we're picking based on the stinger alone instead of the whole segment I pick Big Egg, it gets stuck in my head constantly.

Otherwise I love the Subway reviews segment and stinger equally

Could be WW1 killed off an entire generation of battlefield leaders that could have bridged the gap between the two, so they were left with a bunch of old generals and relatively much younger lower officers. That's just a total guess though

I have a buddy that works for a large multinational corporation, whose job is not coding. In his spare time, to make his own job easier, he started learning about how to work with a data base containing information from literally millions of clients. After like a month, his employer learned this and then refused to renew the contract for the external data management contractors who were maintaining it. They gave him the keys to the kingdom and said good luck. Fortunately it was humming along ok and he was able to pass the buck after a few months without any incident. Apparently the only reason he was removed from access was that he would have had to take some sort of qualification exam to get certified to handle personal information, and his employer didn't want to pay him more.

In short: a fortune 500 company gave unlimited access to their entire customer records to a guy who had never been taught anything about coding except by youtube on his lunch breaks.

He's gotten more votes and been elected more times than Mayor Pete ever was fwiw

Recently I can't stop thinking about a phrase a professor said in college during a discussion of the Delian League and the Peloponnesian War: "Might doesn't make right, might makes right irrelevant." I'm glad someone smart who can articulate themselves made a similar connection/observation to the current state of the world
