  This is a deep cut, but I had Spider Man cartoon maker on CDROM back in the 90s. The police always played the same radio chatter on repeat, so it was ingrained in my brain. I hear it every now and then in the background of police TV shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I was at a gas station while traveling when I first heard the Sonic sound. I was looking around everywhere trying to figure out where it was coming from and if I had possibly gone insane.

  “We’ve spent 30 years underperforming and manipulating our customers to get where we are today! We’re not about to let some noob take a slice of our pie just because they came up with this wacky idea of a ‘Fun game that’s reasonably priced!’”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Stardew Valley is on Android.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They made his car "cease & desist"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure he’s REAL motivated to clean up a song in order to use a vehicle that was bad enough to warrant a dis track.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re up for a wild ride, try their history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Belgian joke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Conveyor belt and a chocolate waterfall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have some very old CDs, mostly retro video games. Is there a way to pull the games and data off the CDs for preservation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgot about that! Good times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a fan of the ad page you sent us to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My earphones' cable has been oozing sticky goo for over a yer now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya’ll forgot about Dre!?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My earphones' cable has been oozing sticky goo for over a yer now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s infected. You better take them to Dr. Dre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to eat after brushing in the night⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, who’s to say what “most” people do. Different cultures and whatnot, but I’ve had enough dental issues that I can verify that they will NOT have any problems for a very long time… until they do, and at that point, there’s a LOT of pain involved and no way to repair the damage done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does ads generate money for the ones who display it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, I sold Internet ads for a while. (I know, I’m not proud, but I had a family to feed.) We would sell packages of views.

  Like, for $100 I could have your ad appear 20,000 times in a month. And for a little more, it would target a specific demographics like families with children, retired folks, or Republican homosexuals with cats. And for a little more, we could target those demographics in specific parts of the country. And for a little more we could target anyone who walked into your competitors location in the past 3 months. (If you took your phone anywhere, we knew it.)

  I can’t remember all the other targeting we had, but it got creepy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does ads generate money for the ones who display it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “We’re basically known by every potential customer in our field. We advertise often so that they don’t get the impression we’ve ceased to exist.”

  This is exactly true. I hate advertising, but there’s no denying it works. As I heard one ad salesman say, “Do you really think there are people who don’t know what Coke is? Yet, they never stop telling us. The only reason Coke ads still exist is to keep a Pepsi ad from being there.”

  They assault us on a subconscious level. It doesn’t matter if the commercial is funny or heart warming or horribly offensive. Anyone else getting thirsty? I sure could go for a Coke right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to eat after brushing in the night⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They should, because they will.

  I’m pretty sure most people actually do brush their teeth before bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Laundromat????⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not pro AI, just anti-human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Laundromat????⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’ve worked in sales, you’d know that providing false information about goods and services has been standard long before AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Laundromat????⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s trendy to hate on AI, but humans really are the worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone say "What ho!" anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They must, otherwise, why else would the acronym THOT exist?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charging to tour rental properties...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Low?! The price should be zero.

  If you’re trying to sell a product, the last thing you want to do is create a barrier between potential customers and the sales pitch. Most people are going to look at the free homes first, and probably move into one of those before they pay a fee to see something they might not even want.

  The only way this fee helps the company is if they have a monopoly on the area and people have no other choice than to pay to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While you’re there, you’ll probably see someone twice as out of place as you, and immediately forget about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pessimists, like everyone else, feel that their way is the right way, and if you aren’t as miserable as them, you must not be doing something right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How about Spontaneous existence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like the Punisher comics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s too bad the name Captain America was already taken, because this guy sounds slightly more accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think he realizes he's mumbling in this scene?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How did I know it would be this scene? 😂

  You must be writing a thesis on Wallace and Gromit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does water necessarily seep in your butthole when fully immersed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No. The sphincter’s job is to prevent seepage in both directions.

  Doesn’t mean it can’t happen, but it typically does not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By chance did you pick a character with a low intelligence? Because ability scores matter a lot.

  I sadly didn’t get to play much of it. I only had access to it for a limited time, and I did not get far at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no way you can obtain wipelessness without some technique!

  Get a forceful stream so it doesn’t dribble down ya, but not so forceful that it bounces back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of alcohol. I’ve met guys who haven’t had a solid shit in years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A friend and I entered a local Magic the Gathering tournament. I had just taught him how to play, and he had picked up a few cards of his own and talked me into giving it a shot.

  I sat down across from my opponent and watched him peel the plastic off of a deck that he just bought, and pummeled me with a pre built elf synergy deck.

  My friend got stuck in a neverending healing token deck. He couldn’t do enough damage to break all the healers, and the healer didn’t have anything strong enough to get past his defenses, they just sat there dealing and healing infinite damage for what felt like forever.
