Concerning implications about this clown coffin no longer being needed.

“For sale, clown coffin, never used. Because zombie.”

Or when the person with the answer deleted their account and all messages with it, then all of the comments after say “That worked!”

You joke, but based on their comments and weirdly intense energy about this absurd situation, I can only assume they’ve literally been in this situation before as one of the coworkers.

Does this imply Trump actually paid one of his pool contractors for work rendered enough times for them to be on friendly terms? Honestly surprising.

That’s brutal. Definitely experienced something similar back in high school.

Bad driving is a hard one, because from my experience about 75% of people have at least one unacceptable bad habit when they drive, and not one person on the planet believes that they are a bad driver. Giving gentle advice has never resulted in more than them getting very defensive time and time again. I hear stories from someone I know to be a menace on the road about how some guy cut them off or whatever, and I can’t help but disbelieve their version of events. I truly believe we should have to redo a driving test every few years so people have to confront the illegality of their habits.

I was talking to a work acquaintance last week, and as a conversation starter when I was walking into work I made the statement “Man, aggressive drivers drive me nuts.” He instantly prickled up and got defensive. He started in on a rant about how his girlfriend is afraid of his driving because her reaction speed didn’t match up to his. I’m just standing there thinking “Man, I don’t know if I have the energy or ability to fix this dude.”

The same people who fly confederate flags are the same ones who own american flag clothing and make their “patriotism” their whole personality. Makes no sense.

It’s crazy to me that people don’t hold Trump more accountable for his anti-mask and anti-isolation rhetoric when COVID first hit. More Americans died to COVID than all wars combined, and his bullshit killed so many people. I know for a fact that my uncle and cousin caught it at the same superspreader MAGA event shortly after he encouraged them “not to live in fear”. They both died of it.

I can’t think of anyone who has done that much damage to American citizens. Arguably Regan, since he is sort of responsible for all of the evils plaguing us including Trump. Certainly a paltry serial killer doesn’t compare.

Every once in a while I critically ask myself if I’m trans. I don’t really believe myself when I say “absolutely not”, until I remember the sheer avalanche of trans and egg memes I’ve read. No amount of denial would survive that much interrogation.

There’s an eccentric rich guy who owns a bunch of land near a marina he runs which I visited once. Goes by the name Bamahenge. He chose to spend some of his money putting life-size dinosaur and Arthurian knight statues scattered around the woods. Went around with my parents to spot some, and they really aren’t tourist attractions because there’s no proper viewing areas or parking or anything, you really have to just hike through the woods to find them. Sometimes you see a stegosaurus head poking out of the trees from the road.

He also made a 20 foot in diameter spider and put it right in front of the marina. That one I could do without.

Anyway that’s the kind of rich I want to be. Not “Here’s a golden statue of myself” asshole rich.

I heard a writer say once that you should internally have three layers of explanation, and provide those or more as it becomes necessary. Like “These are transporters. They break you into molecules, store your data, and reassemble you on the other side. What if there’s a malfunction? Safety features would keep the data in the buffer.” And maybe one more. Reader’s eyes glaze over if you talk about any more than that, so more can wait until it becomes plot significant.

Or so I heard, I’m not a writer.

I was going to say, I feel confident using my safety razor for that. I prefer a duller “training wheels” brand of blades that takes multiple passes for a close shave, but I’ve never nicked myself with them.

Never heard of OneBlade, but from their site it seems to have all of the advantages of a safety razor, except for the lack of blade brand variety. It’s funny that they found a way to make proprietary blades that are 2-4 times as expensive as the normal razor blades I’ve seen, but even then they are still 100x cheaper than cartridge heads.

I used to live somewhere where every citizen got a check for over $1000 once a year because of reasons, and it really boomed the sales of the stupidest shit imaginable. Ads were everywhere “Use your check as a down payment! Get big truck! Get TV! Get jet ski!”

I used mine to go to Europe.

It was all part of his glow-up arc.

Also I hear you can be compelled by the police to unlock biometric locks.

“So the idea is that you wash away all of the dirt, and each time you clean something you accumulate wealth you can use to buy better equip-“

“Do what now?”

I just wish more of the inevitable billionaires exploiting me delivered common sense services that work the way one would imagine with Econ 101 logic. I’m so tired of integrated AI tools no one asked for and an overwhelming majority don’t want. Let me overspend on a damn fridge without connecting it to the internet. Why does my vacuum have proprietary, non-reusable bags?

He could easily fleece his users in so many ways if he wanted to. Many of us are in so deep with Steam that it would take something truly heinous to pry us away from our game libraries, and the next-best service to Steam is absolute dog shit.

Saying he can’t make more evil, exploitative choices because it would be bad business ignores the fact that nearly every modern company makes evil, exploitative choices no matter how little business sense it makes. Honestly, I’m exhausted by just how rarely companies act in their own self interest and just let us continue giving them money instead of shooting themselves in the foot.

I realized in my late 20’s that I actually enjoy going out for drinks with friends. Unfortunately, all of my friends were over it by that point. I look younger than my age, probably due in part to the fact that I never drink. Hopefully my liver abuse days are still ahead of me.
