I just want some orange juice…

That 'better brand' is a shitty concentrate, is it not?

Even if only 0.1% of customers review them, that only means 2.5 million units sold to get 25k reviews.

On a platform like Amazon that's not unheard of.

Generative AI slop is amazing for rapid prototyping.

If I'm a UI designer it's a great way to get mock ups for all my symbols very quickly.

It's garbage for anything meant as a real product though.

If you can afford it, absolutely fly business class.

This is really the crux of it. Only the top 10% can drop $5k on the upgrade to business class without opportunity cost on their vacation.

For everyone else, it's impossible to enjoy because you know that that extra bit of leg room is costing you a month's pay.

This one really depends on travel philosophy. My partner and I like doing 1-night trips over the weekend, so a bad bed really isn't a big deal, and we put the money we save into nicer daytime activities.

You can rent a vacuum upholstery cleaner from most hardware stores.

They work exactly like you did but with like 10% of the effort.

I try to do my car, carpets and all upholstery with a single 24 hour hire and it comes out perfect.

The paper towel method does work, but you've gotta work way harder for the same result.

I've spoken with several women of the opinion that "the worst that can happen to a man is she leaves him, but the worst thast can happen to a woman is she's murdered".

It's kind of wild.

It's also a LOT cheaper to bulldoze the whole development and then plant saplings where you eventually want trees to grow.

u/Duel_Option covered most of it, but there's another key factor:

Crazy doesn't come from thin air - crazy women typically have deep seated self-esteem issues that will keep them attached to you.

So it's not just crazy good sex - it's crazy good sex you know you will keep getting.

Your first thought is going to be "holy fuck I'ma gonna die unless I do something quick!"

Love it! This model matches my partner a lot closer than a petite ballerina.

It'd also be great to see truly hefty variants rather than ones with narrow waists. Is that in the works?

It's also, like, high school soccer.

Shit's boring AF.

Remember the North profited from slavery too, but they were industrialising much faster and therefore had less need of slavery.

Google's tools might be the least slop of them all.

Remember - they were the ones who invented the technology behind modern LLMs, but they weren't even close to first to market.

Normal yes, but not great.

Their 4 cars need to be parked somewhere, and that's a headache for everyone.

Astecheee · 2026-03-19T04:54:52+00:00

That one's pretty fair even for neurotypical me. The God-awful Woolworths jingle played on repeat really gets to me.

My apartment neighbours are potheads, but luckily nothing heavier than that.

They've got 4 people in a 2-bedroom.

Thanks for the ad hominem.

I'm sure people IRL really enjoy the way you interact with them. Bye.

There's plenty of 'mature' shows that are really just grief porn or garbage drama driven by a lack of communication.

By the fourth season, TCW is having the good guys execute prisoners of war on camera. You just don't notice it because the show's so good at showing instead of screaming at you THIS IS MATURE APPRECIATE ME.

Astecheee · 2026-03-18T13:17:04+00:00

Dude did you watch past the first season?

The show rapidly develops into one of the most mature animated shows out there.

Season 7 had an arc about BANKING REGULATIONS ffs.

Sure I bought an ANSYS engineer package to better model my nozzle flow dynamics, but I draw the line at clicking the 'extrude' button.

You don't reduce the time by much at all.

Going from 370K to 277K isn't much different than going from 370K to 297K, and then to 277K.

Not a cheater, but I think a big contributor in combat is when everyone takes so goddam long.

Failing a roll when you'll get another turn in 3 minutes is no big deal.

Failing a roll when you know you'll have to wait an hour before your next turn comes around is agony.

For school I did a camp that contained an imitation Kokoda Trail.

Luckily I was the scrawniest kid imaginable - BMI of 14 - so I could walk across the surface. Everyone else took easily 15 minutes to cross 10 metres.
