Good god. Lemme guess, the propellant in that can are CFCs and they added lead to lubricate the spray since it kept clogging the nozzle. May as well add arsenic for flavor.

there are people who have nothing to lose, no family etc. - what about them?
All I’m going to say is that squeezing the middle class like they have been is going to create a lot terminally ill people with otherwise treatable disease. Those people may very well be incredibly pissed off, along with family, and also have the time and resources to do things that might be life-ending anyway.

It also looks like it’s a Kei car. We don’t do smart things like that here.

U.S. military
Being between the ages of 18-25 doesn’t count! At that age, you can practically eat pizza for every meal and outrun the drawbacks with minimal exercise and no sleep.

Yes. To be clear, all this makes them even stranger (and deeper in the closet?) than I previously knew.

These ‘zipper merge’ vs ‘early merge’ arguments are really the worst. At the same time, the lack of consensus fully explains why merge zones like that are such a mess.

I doubt anyone is driving slow just to fuck with me. A stranger in another car. You know?
I’ll add to this that a lot of people are walking around with this fiction in their head about ‘good drivers’. In reality, driving is a skill and not everyone can be good at it. We really don’t want people like that driving fast, and maybe not as fast as everyone else at that.
So, I see someone driving slow and I honestly think “maybe this is the best they can do knowing that it would be dangerous to go faster, beyond what their reflexes can handle.”

This is why I had a problem with “phonics” as a teaching philosophy.
You have “ph” sometimes teaming up to cosplay as a freaking “f”. And that’s one of the easier rules. It’s all broken from the get-go.

was a yoga teacher for 3 years earning $25 a week and no man wanted me […] in Northern Virginia & Washington DC […] And I didn’t have a car.
TL;DR: even with treating your body like a temple, having a low income and low transportation mobility makes one unattractive in the DC metro.
In that region, single-income setups have low viability due to the egregious cost of living in the area, so people actively seek to partner up with high-income earners. Plus, the whole suburban sprawl is designed, and ultimately requires, cars in order to get around. You’d think that location would matter - and it does for schools and employment - but nobody lives near anyone else they want to date, and not being hyper mobile by driving all the time is practically a social death sentence. It can be a brutal environment that is hostile to most activities outside of earning an office-job income.
For example, the NoVA subreddit had recurring threads started by young professionals looking to move to the area. Every time, they’d ask where the nightlife is and what rent is like in those neighborhoods. Cue the entire subreddit throwing buckets of cold water on OP, as they’d get a reality check that as a post-grad, they’d be able to afford rent anywhere from 40-60 minutes (by car) from any such hot-spot. Oh, and the same would go for their commute too, and that might be just as far from said nightlife as it is from home.

Even we humans can withstand 3000°C for a short time.
If we want to be entirely pedantic, everything can withstand any destructive condition for at least one plank time.

Do they put a seam or darts in to intentionally pull it into the crack?
Yes. That and the garment might be undersized, while taking advantage of the high lycra/spandex content of the material.

To be fair, we are looking in the entire world for birds entirely located in Brazil. Task seems deliberately harder than it needs to be.

I’m sorry, but what about this cube is “population sized”?
Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 1 month ago:
Also how is Tetris counted, because there are multiple Tetris games.
I think Tetris is in it’s own cateory here. We’re talking about over 40 years of re-licensing the same thing to nearly every platform in existence, short of a number of 8-bit computers and consoles. And all that happened under many different publishers, sometimes multiple times on the same system. Added up, it’s no surprise that it’s in the top spot. Nothing else on this list even comes close to having numbers like that.
Meanwhile Minecraft and GTAV are closing that gap in a fraction of the time, on a fraction of as many platforms.

It only just dawned on me that it’s possible to eat (grocery store) chicken your whole life and never actually see a live one, anywhere. If nobody told you what a chicken looked like, you would never know.

Rate of change in 2021 (last data point on this graph) is nearly vertical. Five years of that would put a lot of zeros at the end of that figure, which is exactly what happened.

Also, despite the name, the relationship does NOT need to be romantic for this to apply. Literally anyone in your life can be a abuser with tactics like this. Usually, sadly, it’s someone with some authority or ability to screw up your life. For example, like a workplace manager or a family member.

I often wondered about this behavior. Every so often I would see someone go to their car in a parking lot, sit down in the driver’s seat and just… go nowhere. Engine is running, music is on, driver has a 1000-yard stare. It’s so far removed from my own experience - I never do this - that for the longest time, I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Somehow, the phrase ‘after a long day’ made it click. So thanks, OP.
Apartment living also showed me that some people just hang out alone in the car instead of in the apartment. That I can understand as some units can be downright claustrophobic if you have a big family. Want privacy? Get a car payment I guess. :(
