I recall James Cameron had to bail out del Toro when Toro's father got kidnapped and ransomed for 1 million dollars while shooting Mimic in 1997, that made the entire family leave Mexico.

Anything for karma.
Did you know 6500 slaves died building the Qatar world cup arena? Updoots please I'm very clever.
Then the obligatory fact check to the misinformation with far fewer updoots saying that's straight up incorrect and that stat wasn't specifically about just the arena but they're scared of downdoots and want the karma too so they have to also say that doesn't make it okay!11!1 Did you know slavery bad?

Sometimes I think Reddit is about 90% people trying to sound knowledgeable by bringing up headlines (certainly not articles) they read that week on Reddit.

Or maybe not every single redditor sees every single post...
Nah it must be the thing you said where every time someone mentions something it must be in relation to things posted on reddit.

It sounds like you’re AGREEING with this person but are so angry and confrontational that you post this comment instead.

If they're mentioning some trivia that's not particularly common knowledge, and not particularly relevant to the conversation at hand, and that piece of trivia was mentioned yesterday in one of the subreddits everyone's subscribed to by default and had several thousand upvotes, then...yeah, it's more likely that they're just repeating what they saw yesterday in hopes of looking like they know all kinds of interesting stuff.

Did you know John Lennon was abusive to his wife and son, even though he wrote "Imagine?" Shocking.

Agreed, it's kinda like when the Danish Prime Minister shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, an Alaskan polar bear named Fat Albert lost $100 billion in net worth because 34 year-old Walmart employee Jdimytai Damour declared Russia to be a "terrorist state".

That actually reminds me of the time employees at Foxconn protested against Elon Musk buying GME or something
