tbf, Microsoft keeps fucking with my mouse drivers so the scroll wheel is erratic

yup, did this for a couple years a while back. I could drive 70-75 across town and make it to work in 12 minutes on an empty stroad at 530am, or I could drive the speed limit of 60 and it would take 20

guess which option I took

I was so happy when I stopped getting carded in my late twenties. I didn’t need to carry my wallet around with me anymore just to show ID when I pick up booze. made it that much easier to go run errands, as I only needed my phone in my pocket

that’s the nipple rubbing, right? (among other occasions)

because yeah that shit is on brand. I just don’t see them portraying deforestation as heroic

nobody would pass because nobody can see anything with LED headlights anymore

I despise shitty drivers who buy huge dangerous vehicles because they feel safer. absolutely despise them. it’s a fucking disgusting selfish decision.

I watched my grandpa’s driving deteriorate to where I didn’t feel safe being driven around by him, for myself or for others.

thank you for making that choice. 70 feels early, to me, comparing to when I noticed it in my grandfather and what I am seeing in my father now, so I respect your decision even more

hopefully you live somewhere that you can still get around decently, as my grandfather did. he could still walk or bike all around town, and did

criminal scum

there’s gotta be some sort of factor where low effort men gravitate to Instacart and low effort women gravitate to other jobs. I don’t readily accept that men are just shittier, considering my own experience is rather equal

because that peas for pizza thing is fucking terrible lmao

as a related note, I’m not sure if we’ve had one successful male project manager at work. I think we have a couple now and at least one of them is doing well, but prior to that none of them lasted more than half a year and didn’t do well in that time. I think we’re approaching the half year mark on one of the men now. the women seem to be the only ones that can keep up with the shitstorm and put up with the abuse from all sides. I sure as fuck couldn’t/wouldnt. read into that what you will about how people are treated in that work environment, and specifically how women are treated and how they deal with it.

I think they mean that any job can do that to a person, not that it will

a friend of mine thoroughly appreciates that he can order groceries for pickup and save the time wandering the store finding things and checking out. I understand that

I don’t recall those episodes even though I definitely saw them, but that really doesn’t feel like that was the intent of the episode… that would be out of character

edit: to be clear I do mean that it would be out of character to show deforestation as heroic, and that yes it must have been satire

clearly you didn’t learn, since diamonds are a pretty common shape

I’ve got so much crab grass this year because of the plow tearing into the yard and then the municipality reseeding it and nothing growing there lol

and both of my cars are rusty pieces of shit because I didn’t undercoat. body looks great, relatively… the frame and suspension and all brackets underneath are falling apart. a gas tank bracket disintegrated in my hand the other day.

nah you got it right. the tire:surfacearea ratio is much higher on streets. and the wear is much higher due to type of rubber (grippy for street cars) and how it wears down due to surface roughness / friction

dude I had more lettuce than I could possibly eat just from the volunteers in my 4x8 planter that I didn’t bother pulling out because I couldn’t reach the other side. beans and peas and tomatoes and asparagus and lettuce and cabbage and onions and chives and raspberries all have volume in the <100sqft I’ve given them all

yes, gardening at this scale is a hobby and won’t really save you money/time. but don’t pretend it can’t have a real impact on the source of your food.

if more people did this instead of have a manicured lawn, the rabbits in the neighbourhood would be eating good

the US’s agreement on something is worth basically nothing, and will be for a very long time

to build roads and maintain the world’s strongest defensive military, of course. y’know, the things people need?

people don’t need safe drinking water, duh

but it’s not going to decrease. it’s just not going to be spent on unnecessary stuff like toiling for corporate profits

we already have enough productivity

why do you think we need more?
