  • I mean, I have no qualms with recognizing the US education system is garbage... It gives me more fire to try to improve it.

    • What are your bank details?

    Jump

  • No way, me too

    • rule

    Jump

  • Global warming now: I sleep

    Sun exploding in billions of years: real shit

    • "We guard against unnecessary care"

    Jump

  • "if you wanted to stay alive, you should have gotten a better paying job"

    • Do I have to build my own touchscreen thermostat?

    Jump

  • I'm a programmer. I miss my 70s thermostat. Hot/cold/off, temperature, and fan on/auto. Very simple. Just worked.

    The smart thermostat is nice, but it's something I'll need to revisit when I have time.

  • Helped me, so all was not lost. :)

    • the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

    Jump

  • It's six times better than vine!

  • I really like the new Zelda games, but I agree that I miss the "tight" puzzles. Some of the solutions to puzzles were too easy if you got certain items before encountering the puzzle. I didn't always realize until I was done with the puzzle and I was left thinking "oh... That was it?"

    • Hurry

    Jump

  • Childhood memor-knees

    • It be like that sometimes

    Jump

  • Yep, I have a successful career and had... Ehh ok grades and I graduated college and everything.

    The problem was I was basically in overdrive all the time and miserable just to get everything done.

    I finally got a diagnosis. It's a lot easier than in the past. They tested me years ago and basically said I am very intelligent I'm just lazy.

    Getting meds has been a challenge though. Not sure when that will happen for me...

    • Diamond market

    Jump

  • Moisannaite gives the most rainbows, and I think they are gorgeous.

    But I do love the sparkle of diamonds, and sometimes prefer it. Fortunately synthetic ones are easy to come by.

    • I love when he uses my slippers

    Jump

  • He matches the floor and the slipper! And is super cute while doing so.

    • What Monkey Paw Wish would you be willing to take?

    Jump

  • Hey trailer homes aren't anything to sneeze at! Too bad they're so fucking expensive now though.

    • Driver killed by police after driving truck through central Texas mall, injuring 5

    Jump

  • I hate it, because so many people don't see the problem. "Oh it's a short drive."

    Yeah it sure is a DRIVE which is why I'm not doing it.

    Yes it sucks that I have to plan harder if I want to drink while I'm out but... I don't have to drink.

    • Which government agency regulates a sandwich

    Jump

  • As someone with allergies, it is fucking infuriating. I go by web searches and whether a drink is physically painful nearly immediately.

    • Sure, WSJ. Next do an article on Selection Bias

    Jump

  • Are you American? If so, know your rights. Most debt cannot be passed down to surviving children. If the amount of debt exceeds how much their estate is worth, the lenders are not entitled to you paying them. They will try to make you pay, don't do it! Do not give them even one penny or agree to anything, or you will have then "assumed" the debt and now it is yours.

    The exceptions are loans where your name is on them (joint or cosigned iirc) or medical debt in certain states with filial responsibility laws.

    • That time of year for wearing Crazy Christmas sweaters

    Jump

  • I think my sweater is broken. My reindeer's head looks like it's melting.

    • Grocery prices set to rise as soil becomes "unproductive"

    Jump

  • What really gets me is that I would try to support businesses that made quality stuff. They either cheapened it, got bought by a larger company (who then cheapened it) or went out of business. At least with things that aren't food, secondhand is fine when I can find it.

    • Good luck, bro

    Jump

  • Make those with decent construction so every cough and sneeze isn't broadcasted to all of your neighbors with good design so it's disability friendly, and that is the dream right there.

    • Selfish or not

    Jump

  • When there are lots of seats available, I leave my stuff on the seat next to me. If no one is likely to need it, it is nice for me because it is more comfortable and doesn't bother people around me. (Unlike, for instance, taking off my shoes and letting the smell of my sweaty feet disturb people around me.)

    When it's starting to be slim pickings, I put my stuff on my lap.

    I've never had a problem when I asked politely if I could sit in the seat where someone kept their stuff. It's just nice to give people the benefit of the doubt for something like this.

    If someone singled me out for this, I would wonder to myself why they chose to direct it at me. Did my RBF strike again? Was it just random chance? Is this part of a scam? Are they a bigot? If I'm getting a full rant for something small and easy to resolve, I do question how far the person will go, since their reaction seems disproportionate. Are they going to escalate further? How much further? Is this person going to follow me when I get off at my stop?
