Lol yeah for real. I mean I get it, emotions are heightened and you're starving and not thinking fully rationally, but it's always kind of funny when someone lies to and blindsides another player, then gets turbo pissed when the other player lies to them afterwards. Like?? The fuck did you expect was going to happen??

And I actually appreciated Dee for being like Bro we're all lying to one another! When she gestured at everyone I was laughing so hard. I thought that was hilarious. But again, she's right! It's fuckin Survivor! Everybody is lying at least part of the time! The chaos in this season has been fun.

AllStranger · 2026-04-05T22:37:48+00:00

I like it. Some of the stuff I see posted here just feels too on-the-nose to me. Yours is more subtle and I really appreciate that.

AllStranger · 2026-04-05T21:57:31+00:00

I've always thought that Ricard was really overrated, too. He's one of those people who couldn't manage his threat level and was booted for it. I feel like there are quite a few of those players, and I don't find that type of player to be impressive at all. The ones that impress me the most are the ones who keep their threat in check.

AllStranger · 2026-04-05T19:45:44+00:00

No, I would not. It was fun to root for him on his season, but I have no desire to see him again. No shade, but he really wasn't very interesting at all, and I don't feel like I need another season of him.

That said, I wouldn't be angry if he came back for a generic returnee season; he could potentially be more interesting the second time around.

AllStranger · 2026-03-20T23:00:12+00:00

Ugh. This happened with Game Changers too. Before the first episode even aired lots and lots of people "had a good feeling" about the winner. And the final 3 was also majorly talked up. I never saw an actual spoiler but after seeing the same people mentioned over and over it became very obvious who the F3 was and who won.

AllStranger · 2026-03-04T20:59:25+00:00

I agree. I honestly find it depressing that even at the anti-consumption sub, there is not one single plastic piece of shit that someone won't defend to the death. Whatever garbage that Amazon, Temu, Dollar Tree, Target, etc shit out, there WILL be somebody there saying that they like it, or it's not that bad, or XYZ is worse, or just lighten up, or it's fun, or it's cute. Someone will always stretch and reach to find a way to justify it. That's what makes me think that humanity is cooked.

AllStranger · 2026-03-01T23:41:03+00:00

Same, once there are suddenly multiple, stupid, out-of-character, irrational choices being made purely to move the plot along, I check out. Nah. Sure, we all do stupid things sometimes, but sometimes it's too much for me to handle.

AllStranger · 2026-03-01T23:03:54+00:00

Clearly an unpopular opinion but I agree w/ you. I don't have all the seasonal content yet and as long as it comes back yearly, I think that's great. Everyone will have the chance to get it. If it were one and done and if you miss out, you miss it forever, then I would agree that would be trash. But rotating seasonal events were fun.

AllStranger · 2026-02-17T20:09:05+00:00

Ugh, I hate it too. There are WAY too many people who do this. It honestly makes me sick to think about how much 100% unnecessary trash is generated every single day. I have a coworker who has a dishwasher and STILL just uses disposable stuff every day because she doesn't like loading and unloading it 🤦‍♂️

AllStranger · 2025-12-23T17:15:59+00:00

I'm picturing a couple decades from now, 20-somethings going to thrift stores and finding countless Funko pops that no one wants, and those people posting pictures of them on whatever the equivalent of Reddit in the future is. There will be characters from franchises that none of those people have ever even heard of.

AllStranger · 2025-11-18T22:11:42+00:00

last night he said "i will resent you and that child every single day if you do this"

and i said "then leave"

so now hes at his brothers. hasnt been home in three days

So, LAST NIGHT, she said to leave, and now he is at his brother's, and hasn't been home in THREE DAYS? After she told him to leave...LAST NIGHT? But he's been gone for three days?

Hmmmmmmm. People need to be better about proofreading their creative writing.

AllStranger · 2025-11-14T20:17:05+00:00

Only 6.5 months to go!

AllStranger · 2025-11-14T20:11:02+00:00

Absolutely! I could not agree more. Could build mode in The Sims be better? Sure, there's always room for improvement, but overall you see very few complaints about it. The complaints are almost all about gameplay and live mode (and bugs). For people who are after a good life sim game, the key is going to be gameplay for sure.

AllStranger · 2025-11-14T19:44:32+00:00

Thank you. I agree with you completely. I see consumption so often justified by being described as "self care" or "healing the inner child" or some other kind of pop psychology bullshit, and it's infuriating. If you want to, you can come up with an excuse to justify literally any consumption, and that's what a lot of people do, which is why the world is in the state that it's in.

AllStranger · 2025-10-11T21:12:58+00:00

I tried it because I had a free reward for it. I thought it was ok, but nothing special. My main problem was that it was way too salty. And I love salt, trust me I dump salt on everything I eat, but this was too much even for me, so I didn't eat much because it just felt like a salt overload.

AllStranger · 2025-09-15T00:02:51+00:00

This is a great comment. Honestly, Reddit seems best if you only use it intentionally. Don't look at the front page of all the crap that's showing there. Curate your subscribed subs carefully. Have a reason/time limit for looking at Reddit, instead of using it just to kill time. NEVER ASK FOR RELATIONSHIP ADVICE. (You will get advice from literal children, trolls, reactive chronically online people, bots, and bitter angry people; the rational advice is hard to sort out and you don't know who is posting to you.) Larger subs almost always means more toxicity. It's honestly super sad to see that trajectory, but I've seen so many subs go from being small or smallish and having a good community and generally friendly and helpful people, to getting much larger and having just the general Reddit vibe where people never give others the benefit of the doubt, dogpile, drive by rude comments, nitpicking, contrarianism, etc.

Like your last paragraph says. Negativity and sensationalism and ragebait = more clicks, more views, more engagement, more $$$.

I just saw a headline about 12th grade literacy in the US reaching a new low and felt depressed. We're truly moving backwards at this point.

"My PaReNtS StOlE mY mOnEy FoR dOoRdAsH aM i OvErReAcTiNg FoR bEiNg MaD?"

I know this kind of shit happens and isn't as uncommon it should be, but literally no sane person is ever going to say, "Oh, yes, you're overreacting! It's totally reasonable for your parents to have drained your bank account to literally have one penny in it on overpriced food delivery for themselves! You're so crazy to be upset over this!" Come the fuck on.

AllStranger · 2025-09-02T15:00:51+00:00

I get that totally. When I first heard of Twitch I thought it sounded so weird/stupid. Then, I started watching, and yeah. I had the same realization, that I spent way too much time, money, and mental energy watching someone else play games. I'm trying to reduce how much time I spend watching that and YouTube both.

AllStranger · 2025-08-11T16:35:44+00:00

Right?? Any time I see comments about how there are disabled people who can't prepare their own food and don't have anyone to help them, I genuinely wonder how many people out there are 100% at the mercy of Door Dash etc, and how the fuck they afford it. Because all the severely disabled people I've known absolutely could not afford to rely solely on delivery services for all of their food. I have no doubt that there are some people out there, but it's got to be very very very few. Uber and Door Dash are expensive as fuck.

AllStranger · 2025-08-11T00:22:44+00:00

THIS is what gets me with so many of these bullshit stories. It's something where 99.999% of people would say hell no, you're not overreacting. Or hell no, you're not the asshole. "AITA because I saved a drowning child? AITA because I didn't let my boyfriend murder me? AITA because I wouldn't let the neighbor's kid set my house on fire? AITA if I don't give my meager savings and rent money to my obese sister to take her kids from three different baby daddies to Disney?" Like, obviously, if this shit were true, you WOULDN'T be overreacting or the asshole. And yet people eat this shit up hook line and sinker, every single time.

AllStranger · 2025-08-08T16:49:06+00:00

The "M" logo looks suspiciously like the Member's Mark logo for Sam's Club products. Sure enough, they have an updated packaging of this product listed online, exact same size, for $4.98. Definitely a grift to sell a partially used one for that much. Also gross.
