this but not in jest, look at how many people pay an almost 100% upcharge to get low quality fast food delivered ice cold an hour later. somehow these places are still leaving money on the table by not jacking prices. people are insane about their little food treats.

Even if you think there are people in these numbers who would've died anyway at the speed limit (fair, i'm sure that's true!) speeding gives everyone involved in a crash less time to prevent or correct. it's hard for someone to die in a crash, one or more cars to be speeding, & it not be a "factor"

One of the more frustrating things in there is the contrast between the average potency of weed seized in the 1990s with... the availability (somewhere? some time?) of "90%" potency weed, with no assertion anyone is buying it or how widely available it is.

what the fuck nobody in my office liked the halftime show, one of them openly admitted to "liking kid rock as an artist" so she watched that one. none of these people are trump voters!

They should give the other halftime show a chance to respond after this one, like the minority party response to the state of the union.

One of the harbingers that society was passing me by was when they started "leaking" promo images for trailers and movies and people began going apeshit for them & anticipating them.

Whatever $1 drinks well liquor quality dip they include in those things is an even bigger crime.

It's wild seeing the Yankees reddit applauding paying a guy $6-8M (after tax penalty) to be a coach and a friend to Ben Rice - they absolutely love this move which is why I think the team did it

It's gotten harder to do so reliably, they fixed something that was letting the pirate sites just hijack the official stream a few years ago. For me at least they cut out a few times a game & need to be refreshed.

it's extremely "i feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?" nobody on this website is expected to see this content or engage with it in a meaningful way.

i like a lot of the people doing it personally, and i also think kamala kind of sucks, but hoo boy is it tedious to see a bunch of 40 something terminal text posters rushing to dunk on a dem media strategy largely aimed at 16-22 year old young people (especially young women)

Super frustrating watching people stumble over themselves to get likes from the online "in group" by getting out in front of how "cringe" it is. It's not for you, the wise online leftist! New young people are becoming politically aware every single day, you go where they are or you lose them.

the only good part about owning a home is guaranteeing that you never have to move, which is the worst thing in the entire world. the rest i can take or leave. 10k roof and 6.6k electrical panel work due to water damage in 2025.

There's an intersection with just how physically and mentally taxing modern life is - I can't afford $200 for a babysitter to go out and spend $120 at the bar just to feel like absolute shit the next day (& still have to parent). Similar calculation for people working 3 jobs or gig work.

these people are rampant in cybersecurity. the practices aren't even bad, they just have "everything must be exactly as secure as I read on reddit," and tend to as a rule constantly miss the forest for the trees. obsessing over the idea that a nation state may SIM clone the director of facilities.
