I write sci-fi stories set in The Mortal Conglomerate, a universe-spanning megastructure where an infinitely diverse cast of characters intermingle. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/83328/tales-from-the-mortal-conglomerate

Nobody likes anyone else's driving, though. If you're another car on the road, you're their sworn enemy until you let them merge.

Why does it matter where a Super Bowl performer is from? There have been plenty of non-US citizens who have performed. What a stupid argument.

Hi, I rewrote this as a poem and was wondering if you'd be cool with me using it as an epigraph for my short story.

For sure, there are definitely practical reasons. But it seems like a lot of people just prefer the extra empty space. I don't get it.

Unfortunately, our disability stalls are not anymore private than the other stalls, there's just extra space for a wheelchair. I'm glad you have somewhere to stim privately.

Oh, no I fully accept the reason for it existing for people who need it. I should have specified I mean people who don't use a mobility device. I don't understand why they prefer having the extra space, especially when there might be someone who actually needs that space.

I love that we have accessibility features that anyone can use, but the only one that doesn't benefit me is the disabled bathroom stall. I'll never understand why people prefer it. Like what are you planning to do with all that extra space? Do you need to do a tap dance after you're done shitting?

Did you know there are studios in LA that do nothing but airplane sets? You can book a small, cheap airplane cabin set for around $200/hr. Just remember this whenever you see any online videos that appear to be taking place inside a real airplane.

I remember learning this in third grade when my dad was picking me up from school. He said, "I wonder what that blue reflector is for." and I pointed out the fire hydrant across the street. Then we started noticing them all over the place.

Not if you're driving a fire truck. The reflector also indicates which side of the street it's on because it will be to one side of the yellow lane divider.

Windbreak Hedgerow sounds like a Hunger Games character.

Also allows for custom pronoun entry, and the labeled identities change when set to 50%

I don't know if this is worthy of any notoriety or interest, but I've created The Couillard Sexuality and Gender Identity Spectrum to replace the Kinsey Scale. The interface was written in JavaScript with the help of Claude 3.7

"All-way Stop." Um, no. There are only four.

Hold the intersection. Traffic is not bigotry.

No one should be peeing and pooping together in the same room regardless of what shaped orifice they're peeing or pooping out of. All bathrooms should be private single occupancy. Whoever thought it was a good idea to pee and poop next to strangers is a freak. I refuse to participate in their fetish

Ah, I see you've depicted your cult leader as the character who loses and dies in every movie. Bold strategy.

It is. They don't have rules or signs anywhere. They have an entrance bouncer AND an exit bouncer. There are people serving free food in the aisles. It's complete chaos.

Your phone doesn't have astigmatism, it's just caked in excrement and sebum.

We can all tell how dirty and greasy your phone is when you post pictures taken from your unwashed lens. It's not a cute soft focus with sepia tone, it's grease and dirt from your unwashed hands and toilet back splash.

I was surprised nobody pointed out how evil it was to make them eat cheese as the final challenge and then have them immediately redo the physical challenges.
