- Comment on How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move? 1 week ago:
Oh I more than understood your question, as much as there was one. I’m taking the piss out of you because your question is more of a rant than anything else.
Move somewhere else if you don’t like it. You live in an industrial area. As do I, where the trains stop traffic multiple times per day since we have lumber yards here. And we all deal with it because we chose to live here.
The fuel costs of having the train do what it does, even though it’s an inconvenience for you, will certainly be substantially less than them catering to you. That’s by my estimation though. If you have data showing otherwise, let’s take a look at it.

That’s a separate issue. You asked a question, and an answer was given.
I bet that your city is used to having trains, seeing as they’re pretty major infrastructure, and had the good sense to have multiple police and fire stations on each side, thus not negatively impacting their response times.
Have you called the station managers or whatever to file an official complaint? If not, you’re wasting your time complaining here.

- Comment on The Famed 1967 Bigfoot Film Was an 'Incredible Hoax,' Says the Director of a Groundbreaking New Documentary 1 week ago:
This came out during an interesting time in history. We went to the moon just a couple years later! Technology was exciting, things were happening. Trying to put myself into the shoes of an average person back then, I’d say it’s totally believable. We have the benefit of hindsight and a more digital world to easily see it’s fake.

I’d sure hope that the latest generation of a technology would be considered safe. That’s generally how things work. And then when accidents occur, we learn and make things safer the next time.
As to them considering it completely safe, I’d love to read about that if you have sources. Cause I doubt that they thought it couldn’t fail.

Chernobyl happened through the incompetence of leadership, not because they thought it was “completely safe”.

The shots are way too consistent to be AI. If it was AI, we’d expect background details to change between each one. This feels like a high quality robot chicken production
- Comment on Wholesome 2 weeks ago:
There’s two punchlines, not one. The obvious one is the “inappropriate” joke, the second is the person on the right actual hoping for something naughty and being disappointed it was just a play on words.
Not saying it’s a great second punchline, but that’s how I’m seeing it
- Comment on Search results for “megusta”. 2 weeks ago:
You’re correct, it is the name of a specific meme. But they didn’t search for the meme, they searched for a general phrase. Without adding the qualifier of ‘meme’, there’d be no reason to bring it to the front.

Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.

unskippable ads on CPR instructional videos
Funnily enough, this is an actual example they use in one of their ad skits!
Video is time-stamped at the ad, but the whole video is pretty great (if it happens to be your type of humor)

At its core, I don’t mind if someone wants to let me know about their product. Unfortunately we’re in an age where it’s absolutely in our faces all the time and pushed with the most brain-rotting algorithms, and they’re absolutely horrendous. Every once in a while though I’ll still find ads that I enjoy, mainly YouTube creators who don’t just read scripts, but put in effort to make something worth watching.
I’ll always point to ‘TomSka and Friends’ (TomSka being the creator of the ASDFmovie series) as being decent ads; each one is a full skit and I actually enjoy those ads because they put in the effort.

Legitimate question, why do people keep typing “where” instead of “were”? Many typos are understandable where letters that are next to each other accidentally get swapped, but you have to go out of your way to put the h in there.

Someone’s bad attempt at stealing content. It’s cropped in the lower right, but this is Amaury Guichon, who is known for his over-the-top chocolate and sweets displays. I love his work and his videos, but this is a sad compilation (Funny on its surface because haha funny shapes)

This is jumping off the back of Lower Decks, the animated series that ran for a few seasons and was pretty popular. Tawny, who I believe is spearheading this new show, played one of the main characters in Lower Decks.
