The OECD’s new Road Safety Annual Report offers a reminder that the US approach toward traffic safety is an abject failure.

Americans are >2x more likely to die on the road than those in South Korea, Israel, Australia, Spain, and other rich countries.

most of adulting in modern times is just looking up six random digits on one device and copying it to another within a certain time limit, repeat indefinitely

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

I think I could get used to the idea of opening and closing every concert with half of a football game

Just curious if people who post stuff on the Internet are mad when I open an app, many days later, and indiscriminately scroll past every single one of their meticulously crafted engagement-maximizing dunks because I don't have the fucking time

We really need more inspiring stories of people who are trying to leave their influencer careers in order to realize their lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer

Hot take: my favorite players on The Traitors are the ones who are accidentally right about a traitor for bad reasons

Who else is degenerate enough to read a podcast instead of just listening to it

I have 3d printed a physical save icon

Ace Ventura's well known catchphrase "Alrighty then!" did not originate with the movie.

Four years earlier, in the first sketch of the pilot episode of In Living Color (April 15, 1990), Jim Carrey said "Alrighty then!" for the first time — and not the last in the sketch series.

You should be able to mark a folder on your computer or phone as NSFW and it's wild to me that several generations of operating systems engineers never thought about that

You: what is your deepest, darkest secret

Me: .... for 20 years I've been practicing a Singaporean accent, and no one knows I can do it and I can't use it anywhere

dudes out here really do be like "astrology is woo woo bs for idiots" and then turning around and applying dnd alignment charts to literally everybody

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

Guillermo del Toro quoted in Variety: "I don't want digital. I don't want AI. I don't want simulation. I want old-fashioned craftsmanship. I want people painting, building, hammering, plastering."

Intellectually, it's not hard for me to conclude that there is something useful in the technology we're calling "AI" and those useful bits will transform digital workflows in profound ways

Spiritually I'm at a point of just wholesale rejecting modernity and becoming a woodworker instead.

i might just be mad because i can say the last sentence i wrote in australian better than i can say it in delco

OKAY FINE IT'S TIME TO GOOGLE HOW TO DO AN ACCURATE PHILLY ACCENT

spoiler alert: no one fucking knows you gotta be from here

Whenever I reflect on my reasons for self-improvement, or what I've learned as I've grown, or the people who have inspired me over the years, it always comes back to one fundamental truth:

There is never just the one right way to be

So you're telling me you're an expert

Just curious if anyone else has ever had a sequence of events that led them to google "how to rap"

Especially because I just learned I can pull off a jean jacket fr

I kinda hate that in one year a plausible extrapolation of this whole Sydney Sweeney jeans thing is that double denim becomes an unironic conservative trad wife signal

this is meow wolf but in real life

I was also mostly mad that 2024's focus on Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX meant Dua Lipa erasure but this is a totally different thread but I'll admit it was tangential

Look I'M SORRY. I KNOW I AM SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY AND UNIRONICALLY LOVE CHAPPELL ROAN FOR SOME REASON.

Anyway, I have learned some things about myself recently, including a tendency to suppress hot takes in order to maintain harmony.

SO

u should know i am saying this so i can heal

Not too long ago someone in a group conversation asked what is a song everyone loves that you actually cannot stand and I couldn't think of one and suddenly it hit me.

It's Chappell Roan's Hot To Go. That is NOT FOR ME. I completely forgot about it

Had a conversation the other day where they're like "I like Star Trek but you probably know more than me about it" and then I'm like "yeah but then I meet other Star Trek fans and I don't know shit"

Anyway cue the thread where literally everyone actually knows the answer to this and I did not

I would agree with you and say that is the essence of empathy, which I still think many of us haven't lost
