Wish I knew more about language mechanics like this. Always fascinates me

Right? "Made me cry on a school trip" (for reasons that I'm sure we're totally out of line on the teacher's part and omitted just for brevity's sake)

Agreed, as a lifelong PS fanboy. The only redeeming quality is that I can play my PS4 disks on my PS5, other than that XB seems better in every way

Antisemitism is a jailable offense.

Software in what cars? The ones that are sitting on lots by the thousands across Europe/China/the US? The models getting outsold 5x over by BYD globally? The Emperor wears no clothes. Tesla is a poisoned brand and poor dumb rednecks/Silicon Valley tech bros alone cannot make up for the damage Musk has done to investor's monies. Tesla's unprecedent valuation was because it was supposed to be the car manufactuer in the post-ICE era, not a political statement for half of the population of a single country that's reviled across the globe.

There is literally no way that Tesla will ever grow big enough to justify it's unhinged-from-reality valuation. It's just a matter of not being the last one holding the bag. The Tesla crash is going to make Lehman look like a fender bender

Kickstarter when?

Right? I dunno how it was back in the old days but Clerks is maybe the worst representation of modern service workers I've ever seen. I've got a "hard labor" job and work about 1/4th as hard doing that than I ever did in service when I was younger

Lol reminds me of playing soldiers with my friends as a kid lobbing real neutralized surplus grenades at each other, basically ~3lb chunks of steel at that point. Let the kids play with grenades!!

And handheld gaming is a full-body experience.

Please replace your carbon monoxide detector batteries

 

Just tried pouring some ginger ale in my lemonade (homemade). 10/10, much better than I wouldn't thought

 
 
 

~~Unpopular preference, maybe? I've worked the title a few times but can't get it phrased as a concise opinion. Regardless, I think it still fits the spirit of the group.~~

SMS Texting in 2025 sucks. The overwhelming majority of "unknowns" texting me are marketing BS (that I didn't sign up for), scams, and other junk. It's almost at the same state that calling was ~10 years ago. Even besides that, texting a friend/family member to have a conversation feels so... wasteful? It's something I used to do and now never would. Anecdote: I also barely respond to texts at this point unless it's a direct question, "I'm at the store, do we need milk?" "Yes." Even still, half the time I'd just call them to say "yes." According to my cellular provider, I've sent 16 SMS messages since March 25th.

If I'm trying to contact someone, I always just call them unless I know they won't pick up and have told others to do the same with me.

Counterpoint to this is that some people think it's rude to cold-call, which is fair, but I have a good enough relationship with the people I keep regular contact with so that they know they can just call back at their own decision. Other than that, I'm only calling businesses/customer support, so it's a moot point.

 

I realized today, it's been a minute since I head the "glass is actually a very slow moving liquid" myth from someone. Just wondering if there's been anything else like this since you were a kid.
