- Comment on How do first time movie writers ensure someone along the way won't get ripped off? Like say Jay in the mail room sees your scripts and develops it himself, what recourse is there against mail clerk? 1 week ago:
I was just trying to find my coffee cup, honest! I was not looking for scripts to steal at all. I thought my cup may have been misplaced in that stack of letters.

I’m curious too. I have done nothing.

My city has a street that changes name 4 times as you go down it.
- Comment on If you're fond of restoring 30-year-old PCs, but then you see some old PC parts being obliterated by scrappers just to get small pitiful pinches of gold. 2 weeks ago:
I still have a small box of old ram and a bunch of cpus from that era.( 20 to 30 yrs ago) Had them for years in case someone I knew needed them. I need to take them to a recycling center some day but there isn’t one close by.
- Comment on It is time to dispel all of the disinformation surrounding the life & death of Charlie Kirk. 3 weeks ago:
At least you’re safe. It could have been a real pain in the neck.

When you leave a zit go too long without popping it, it’ll eventually pop itself.
- Comment on how do you only sleep 3 hours a day? (inspiration) 4 weeks ago:
When I used to work on the road, I’d sleep for maybe 3 or 4 hours a day during the week, but that kind of thing catches up to you fast. I usually made up for it on the weekends, but it was not a healthy way to go.
- Comment on Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue? 4 weeks ago:
You’re trying to apply logic to a system that has no logic, only data, to go off of. Of course it’s going to be shitty at it.
- Comment on Boss repeatedly shouted 'potato' at Irish employee 5 weeks ago:
Mr tough guy should go to a pub in northern Ireland and try that crap instead of harassing some poor woman just trying to do her job.

I don’t have a car but ya.
- Comment on One for the ignition and one for the trunk 1 month ago:
Still is up here in winter when it’s -30 outside.
- Comment on One for the ignition and one for the trunk 1 month ago:
I’ve always used them so you can leave the car running or in accessory mode and still unlock the doors/trunk/glovebox.

Shit so hard all the water vaporized.
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 2 months ago:
The ad delivery system is programmed to show you the ads only when the vehicle is in park, just so Stellantis doesn’t get sued for that very reason.
Still, as far as I’m concerned it’s pretty scummy to throw ads on your display to make even more money off you after you’ve already paid them tens of thousands for your vehicle.
- Comment on 'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams May Only Have Days Left to Live Amid Cancer Battle 2 months ago:
The creator has long been controversial. In 2023, newspapers began dropping his famous cartoon strip after he advised white people to “get the f*** away” from Black people in a controversial episode of his podcast.
At the time, Scott suspected his cartoons were actually removed because he started to comment on “wokeness” in his work.
He won’t be missed that much.

And Stellantis (Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler) showing ads on your infotainment screen.
Can’t fucking build a car that doesn’t rattle apart after 5 years but they can sure squeeze every cent out of you in the meantime.
- Comment on When you realize it's time to trade in your old sedan for an SUV 3 months ago:
I find Sawzalls are better than a circular saw because they have variable speed and don’t tend to yeet things near as much. I tried a skillsaw once and it wasn’t pretty and didn’t have that great of a smell. (Given, it wasn’t exactly the sharpest blade)
- Comment on When you realize it's time to trade in your old sedan for an SUV 3 months ago:
Every diy person should have a sawzall or know someone who does. (protip: skill saws are messy and you probably have enough to clean as is.)

It’s from the song “Stuck in the middle with you” by Stealers Wheel.

- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 months ago:
Sorry If I didn’t explain that right… the guy was drinking non-stop every single day, to the point you could physically see his liver was shutting down because of his yellowish color. So the bar didn’t have much choice and had to cut him off. He was an awesome old guy so no-one wanted to boot him, but if he drinks himself to death the bar would be potentially liable for still serving him.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 months ago:
Yes, my dad was one of them. I haven’t gone to a bar for years but it used to be most smaller bars had at least a few regulars that basically lived there. I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix… It got to the point the bar refused to serve him, so he would try and get unsuspecting customers to buy them for him. (This was in the 70’s and 80’s, there were (or at least seemed to be) a lot more alcoholics back then.

When you’re around a bunch of kids sometimes you get to experience both at the same time.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 6 months ago:
Ah sorry, I totally misread that lol!
I think a lot of those are highly dependent on where a person went to school and who their teacher was, because some of them are pretty far out there.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 6 months ago:
Where did you go to school? I’ve never heard of either of those before.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
I kinda wish all the stray/feral cats I’ve befriended would start coughing up some cash once in awhile instead of dead mice and hairballs for me.

- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 7 months ago:
I edited my other comment to include a site more like imgur, cdn.imgpile.com
- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 7 months ago:
It’s more similar to old reddit than how imgur is set up, but it’s more community driven, and everyone is very friendly and quite helpful in my experience so far. I can’t say much beyond that as I’m still learning more about it myself.
