Because fuck you.

Sounds like college.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 5 days ago:
If the public got to hear first hand all the black humor that goes on in the EMS field, society might further collapse.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 5 days ago:
I enjoyed the fighting simplicity of the original pokemon games. I could recognize and know the names of 151 pokemon and their weakneses/strengths. Now there’s too many pokemon and too many counters and hybrids. Too much work to keep track of.
- Comment on Tough choices 5 days ago:
I can already speak to every animal. It’s them speaking back that’s the problem.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 6 days ago:
Back at my school in the 90’s you just bought a 10 pack of the cheap black Bic mechanical pencils for like $3 and you were set for the year if you didn’t lose too many. They never really broke and you didn’t have to refill them if you didn’t want to. They also never clogged and if you weren’t an idiot you didn’t try to use too much lead length to where it would break off.
They were simple and easy and always sharp.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 week ago:
For sure, and my backlog is huge. I have tons to still play. I’m just now getting around to gta5 on my steam deck. I also just finished re-playing the original ff7 with some mods that made it look way nicer than back when I played it on my ps1 in the 90’s. I could go another 5 years without catching up to 2020 if I wanted to.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 1 week ago:
It boggles my mind how many people who have had to pay taxes for decades even, don’t understand how tax brackets work.
The only time you’ll get screwed on making more is if you were getting some sort of socialized assistance and you make a dollar over the cut off for aid.

Your uaw got smaller and you stopped losing teeth so fast. It’s your own fault, really.
- Comment on I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it 2 weeks ago:
To be a little more clear from what op said, it’s when someone sells it from eBay to a person that didn’t shop around to see if the product was cheaper from other retailers. The ebay seller than buys it from another retailer where the product was offered for less money and then the seller has it shipped from that retailer directly to the buyers house. It’s bad in the sense of some eBay shoppers purposely want to avoid giving their money to a specific retailer (like amazon), or they just feel mad that they could have gotten the product cheaper to begin with.

Autopsies always find that they have defective hearts or heart valves if it isn’t an aneurysm. Healthy athletes never really drop dead without a pre existing cause.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 3 weeks ago:
You can use one foot for the gas and brake at the same time. I’ve drove manuals for over 20 years. Including split shift commercial trucks that didn’t have hand brakes.
- Comment on 🐸 time 3 weeks ago:
Oh. I got ya. Lol
- Comment on You guys have to end it 3 weeks ago:
Handbrake start is only if you sucked at driving a manual ;-)

So if you love your gerbil, don’t stick him up your buuuuuuttttt
- Comment on 🐸 time 3 weeks ago:
Yep. Very much so. Same for cold and high altitudes. Our bodies really are extra badass.
- Comment on What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? 3 weeks ago:
I never had much trouble with it. No harder than a slingshot.
- Comment on What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? 4 weeks ago:
Bows are not “incredibly hard to use”. There’s a reason 8 year old cub scouts get to shoot them and manage to hit a target. Weaker draw bows, obviously.
However, for an adult man a 40 pound draw on a compound bow is pretty easy. That’s also the bottom end of draw strength for hunting. In fact, most teens could pull it back. Typical is about a 60 pound draw.
Now aiming takes a bit of practice with a bow or a gun or a rifle. Also, if you’re using a compound bow or a traditional bow.
All of them are not too difficult to learn, but accuracy wise you can learn to be accurate with guns and rifles faster than with bows. Bullets have a much flatter trajectory than slower moving arrows, so if you aim at something you think is 30 yards away, but it’s really just ten yards further out with a bow, you’ll miss. A bullet has almost no change in trajectory over such a small change of distance. Rifles also seem more intuitive to aim.
- Comment on Anon plays a prank 4 weeks ago:
Fun fact: that never actually happened. It was just a fun little goof some papers ran with and spread for shits and gigs to play along. No one thought it was real.
In actuality, it was a weekly radio program that always told fiction stories and it was on its regular broadcast time, only had a 2% listener audience across the US, there were commercial breaks that mentioned the show, and no one believed it was real. No histaria, no people killing themselves, no end of the world vibes.

Yep

I have one cat and a doggy door so it can go in and out as it pleases. A stray cat figured out it could use the doggy door.
I have two cats.

Back in my day, that family size box was about what the size of the regular box was.
- Comment on This used to be peak commercial humor 4 weeks ago:
The Taco Neck Ssyndrome commercials were also great, but then whiny people with “tension neck syndrome” got all cry baby about it.

Because there’s no Microcenter in my city.
- Comment on Anon wants to be a singer 5 weeks ago:
Not really a “trope” since singers used to, and probably some still use it. The sprays usually contain menthol, eucalyptus, and glycerin, to moisturize and soothe their throats.
- Comment on What Did William Burrito Mean by This? 5 weeks ago:
I drank with 5 Mexicans at a restaurant total strangers and we could barely talk to each other. Used some Google translate. Great guys and gals. We drank some modelo and tequila. Chill as fuck.
- Comment on While checking on my business insurance policy I found out it was canceled 5 weeks ago:
Did you pay a deductible or anything for that? Your shouldn’t your neighbors insurance have had to cover the damage done? I’m not too sure how fire damage in something like a strip mall is handled.
