People love to hate on popular things for the sake of them being popular. It has happened with other artists and will continue to happen with more artists until the end of time.

What if you’re not going to have a next generation? Is there still a good reason to own?

- Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now 1 week ago:
This is such a bizarre design. I wonder why they don’t just make a bit of a longer “leash” attaching the cap to the ring.
Here in the US, I haven’t seen these bottles yet, but I wonder if we’ll be getting them at some point. :p

Now I’m just imagining in every movie or TV show if we had to watch people travel in real time to wherever they were going lol. Sounds painful.

eBay actually has decent buyer protection policies. You need to sell it somewhere without that like Facebook marketplace

Ah sorry, man. I guess not a specific jab at you, but it’s weird because I’ve heard people make fun of this a lot and it’s just a bit odd to me.
- Comment on i don't get you 1 week ago:
Weirdly I feel like I self-gaslight all the time to the point where I’m not sure if certain things are real.
Some examples…
Am I really having pain in my foot or am I being a hypochondriac?
Was my boss actually in the wrong in saying that to me or am I just a crazy person?
- Comment on this picture is 27kb 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m a tad confused at why it’s weird to measure by time. If I’m trying to get somewhere deep in the city vs on highway traffic the whole time vs something in between the two, the same distance will give you radically different times to traverse it.
It’s also useful to give other people time estimates. Isn’t it more useful to tell your boss that you’ll be 15 minutes late versus the distance away in miles or kilometers? How about when you’re a guest arriving at someone’s house? Isn’t it more logical to tell them you’re 30 minutes from arrival as opposed to giving them the exact distance away in km or mi, especially when they might not know whether you’re arriving from a high traffic area or not?
There is a lot you can criticize the US for and it would be totally valid. This one is bizarre and unwarranted.

Isn’t a salad wrap no longer a salad? If it’s encased in breading then it’s a wrap/sandwich, not a salad.

I haven’t seen a firefly since I was a small child. I’ve never really thought about them before, but it is kind of sad not seeing them. Generally I hate bugs, but fireflies are pretty.

I also work in healthcare and deal with lots of poop and blood and dogs licking my face doesn’t gross me out. Cats on the countertop do squick my out a bit though.
- Comment on when you need to graduate 2 weeks ago:
At least in the US, when you are attending a degree program, a lot of times you can pick between several different types of classes to fulfill a specific requirement. And then there are often multiple class times available of some of the larger classes. So you can slightly tailor your education to different interests and your own schedule.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 weeks ago:
I have ad free YouTube on the YouTube app on Android. Just takes modding the app through a simple guide. Only works on Android though, not iOS IIRC. The tool is Revanced.
Also for Android Smart TVs, check out the TV app called SmartTube Next.
- Comment on Not happening, dude 2 weeks ago:
Idk if you’ve ever had suicidal thoughts, but they can are generally really impulsive, and not really well thought out. Obviously everyone is different, but many suicides are done on impulse.
I’m doing perfectly fine right now. I’m happy and have a pretty good life. But I know that when bad events happen, those suicidal impulses are just that…impulses. they aren’t something that most people who attempt suicide sit down and take the time to do. Unexpected and intense life events happen that can push even “normal and well adjusted” people over the edge if they have access to something dangerous like that. Imagine suddenly and unexpectedly losing your spouse or your career or etc. Shit happens.

I never had hamsters growing up and I have no idea that little kids often got them killed in “random ways”. I can’t even fathom what the fuck this means tbh. Do they mean that people accidentally squish them all the time or something???
Tbh I’m a single adult and was curious about getting a small pet, but idk if I’d be able to deal with something of decent size like a dog or cat. What are hamsters like?

I really wish I had a lemon tree!! I love lemons…not even just putting them in anything, but eating them plain. But then if I had a lemon tree I probably wouldn’t have any teeth left from eating too many lol.

Just stop and think for a second. We’re talking about posting in meme communities. Meme communities are for lighthearted jokes, not radical and serious discussions.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Read OP’s comments. OP does think like that which is exactly the problem.
I come here for the memes, not to be berated for being an “animal abuser”. Memes are supposed to be lighthearted.
I have no problem with vegans. I have problems with militant vegans like OP. Just like I have a problem with anyone trying to radically shove their beliefs down my throat, no matter what topic it might involve.

Unfortunately until it becomes legal in my area, my choices are limited. Good to keep in mind though.

Idk I don’t get any positive effects from weed. It makes me too sleepy and too hungry and doesn’t seem to provide any other effect. I suppose it would be good if I needed a sleeping pill or had a hard time eating, but I don’t. I don’t understand how people are even able to stay awake after having any.
And no, I don’t do too much.
- Comment on I shaved for the first time in a while so I could update a profile picture and my chin looks like this. 4 weeks ago:
It’s all in the way you trim and neaten it imo. When people let their beards run wild, it tends to not look that great. But if you keep it trimmed neatly, even if it’s long, it can look pretty nice!
