Wholeheartedly agree. Some people are so desperate to have some facet of themselves that makes them different, special, and apart from everyone else that they’ll ascribe to themselves any number of niche elements, real or imagined. It’s the same phenomenon you see on fakedisordercringe on reddit.

I’m not sure we can say that all humans are sentient.

I’m not aware of any other kind of union that protects you from murder charges. Police unions are not like other unions, and they need to be addressed for the public harm they create.

I had know idea the one I see driving around all the time in town was such a rarity.

The best way to experience these would be in a KFC-Taco Bell, where you can get some hot sauce packets with your haul. The mac and cheese one would go great with diablo sauce.

This was compelling when it was going to be the first electric truck to market. Now you’ve got Rivian, Ford, GM with more conventional, ostensibly better entries. Fourth to market with a weird wedge shaped SUV with a too-short bed we’ve had too long to think about, and it’s still not going to be in production for…

Ok, fine, charge us a license fee. But $21/mo when Adobe CC itself is $54.99 seems ludicrous. It’s just shy of half the cost of the creative tools just for the color palette. Highway robbery! 

In the south, many African American families will have fried catfish and spaghetti on Fridays, even though they’re not Catholic. It’s more of a cultural thing, but still a thing.

The scene that ruined Hereditary for me weird flying up into the treehouse. Spontaneous combustion fine, people crawling on the ceiling fine, people obviously wire flying into a tree house...ruined. burn the whole thing.

What are some spooky Arkansas stories?

Hand assembled, by the smallest hands on the market!

Is there room to acknowledge here that all segments of the value chain are probing acceptable max price values for their consumers? Sure there are real supply/demand reasons for price increases, but a lot of this just seems like businesses finding the max acceptable price before consumers pull back, which is not what…

“please tell us the re-dressed garbage you’d like to be served. it has nothing new and is a construct of our new limited menu, but please tell us how to arrange it. We’re making more money than ever, but we can’t give you what you really want because our executives need more bonuses.”

This general inflation is such a scam. These companies are testing pricing tiers consumers will tolerate. We keep buying, and they keep cranking them higher.

I learned this in a small subway a couple of weeks ago when I ordered my regular order after a couple of months. The ESL woman behind the counter tried to explain it was gone by saying “WHAT CHICKON?” gesturing at the horrible strips and the worse cold cuts, and I threw my selected combo chips back on the rack and…

At our walmart, you can leave everything in your cart use the hand scanner to scan everything rapid fire, except items that need to be weighed. Then you can just grab a handful of bags and walk out and bag everything at your car. It’s faster than unloading the cart onto a belt and letting the cashier scan and bag…

The place that needs to get its shit together on self-check is Costco. I can just scan my shit as I go, and walk out the door at Sam’s Club, but at Costco you either wait in the human meatbag lane or use their slow as fuck self-checkout machine and still have to unload and reload your cart. Costco is the lover that…

Sorry to be weird, but what region are you from? I have been trying to track down which area of the country leaves out the “to be” after the word need. Like you said “needs vetted,” whereas other parts of the country would say “needs to be vetted.”

I’ll have you know that backseat was capable of accommodating two adult men stacked vertically.

I had one of these in highschool and early adulthood. As maligned as it is today, it did garner some potential paramour interest at the time.
