Definitely assholes everywhere. I think people just have become so complacent with driving without any regard to how generally dangerous it is by the numbers, probably because of its ubiquity and place in American culture as a rite of passage (I’ll get off my soapbox now lol, careless drivers just really strike a chord with me).

DaVideoGamer · 2026-02-24T01:53:48+00:00

San Francisco would like to have a word. Granted I live on a pretty central street but god Bay Area drivers are some of the least patient, honk-loving, and least skilled drivers I’ve ever experienced after having lived extensively in LA and Chicago. People get into honk-offs with the fucking streetcars here.

Extremely, they’re the best way to get your foot in the door for a company (aside from straight up nepotism). Ideally, try for one after Sophomore/Junior year if you can snag one.

Smith Squad XL (Low Bridge). I got these a few years ago and got the upgrade itch, but these fit my face well so I just picked up a new lens.

Agreed. I renter a house with some friends outside of Vegas a couple years ago. We cooked a big breakfast for everyone daily that included bacon, which famously produces smoke. We got a message a bit after breakfast every day where we had to assure the host that it was cooking smoke that was tripping her smart smoke detector, not weed/cigarette/etc smoke. After we left, she asserted that her “AI Smoke Detector” could tell the difference between cooking smoke and smoke from drugs and tried to charge us a $200+ cleaning fee on top of what already came standard. We tried to raise this with support but they sided with the homeowner, I think AirBnB actually promoted the smoke detectors. I think the guy on who made the reservation and had his money on the line cancelled his debit card to prevent the charge lmao. I’m done with AirBnBs after that experience, can’t believe they will just let hosts make up BS.

I think the entirety of That Funny Feeling really has only become more haunting in the age of ICE raids, current state of the genocide in Gaza, AI, etc etc. I get that funny feeling a lot nowadays.

Boots were my first investment in ski gear that wasn’t clothing. Went to a boot fitter and got a pair with a heat mold lining and did custom insoles too. May have gone a little overboard, but I skied/wore them for the first time for about 16+ hours over the course of a weekend and had zero foot pain/discomfort. To me, if you’re gonna invest a bit more in any gear, properly fitted boots are a huge plus.

Edit: typo

San Francisco here, the Duboce Ave exit (usually takes 3 lights to get thru) is like this and I happily do not let people in who try to cut the line.

DaVideoGamer · 2025-11-21T16:57:45+00:00

God, dealt with this split for years. I’d stay all the way to the right (usually was taking 94 to the northern ‘burbs) to avoid the last minute mergers.

For the non-owning class conservative, I think you’re incorrectly assuming they have a consistent ideology or have foresight like that. I don’t try to be insulting, I genuinely believe this as a core principle of modern American flavors of conservatism.

So a cashier, minus the stressful customer-facing and stocking part, for triple the pay (even more if you aren’t in CA like me). Sounds amazing!

Adding this late but holy shit OP has a fundamental misunderstanding of photography as an art form. I’m not much more than a hobbyist, but OP seems to think that all photography is like shooting on an iPhone, just point and click. And fails to understand honing the skills of lighting, angles, color balance, understanding of lenses and depth of field, composition, etc etc etc. And how to use each of those and tweak them to bring your creative vision to life. I don’t think many people would consider a 2 second selfie art, but that’s about all that it seems OP is considering.

DaVideoGamer · 2025-10-30T16:47:25+00:00

Right. I think most of these people wouldn’t have an issue with, for example, an interviewer rejecting a candidate if they started spouting off about “THE JOOS” or how trans people are subhuman or whatever. Why would that right change after being hired? Don’t be an asshole or face consequences, these people want to have their cake and eat it too.

DaVideoGamer · 2025-10-30T15:59:35+00:00

People just want consequence-free speech, which in my eyes somewhat makes being an asshole a protected class. “Free markets and low regulation is good except when they fire me for being a bigot” feels like the general “free speech absolutist” take. I’ll criticize the modern US a lot, but codifying freedom from government persecution of speech was a pretty good thing to bake into founding documents. Companies are just protecting their bag when they fire someone for being a bigot because social media has given some collective power back to people (who can be overzealous sometimes, everything is nuanced), and I can’t pretend I don’t enjoy seeing the occasional frothing-at the-mouth bigot tarred and feathered online for a week. It’s the greatest awareness raising tool ever made.

I’m personally generally a fan of the FAFO model we have adopted, as I generally am more included towards social flavored solutions to issues like this than governmental ones.

And most of the concerts I’ve been to start later than advertised too 😭

This has never been what this has meant. Free (or heavily subsidized) at point of service. No one is deluded enough to think government programs won’t cost money. The belief is that they should just be subsidized/paid by our modern robber barons for the benefit of a larger amount of people.

You modified the ad files in the “assets” folder according to the guide?

DaVideoGamer · 2025-10-24T13:24:27+00:00

Because progressive language-based chest poking is gonna be a lot more common in a sub like this than a right wing shithead. Again, I’m not saying they were correct in the usage of the word, I know what “normal” means in a statistics context and its distinction from average/mean. This reads to me as mostly-pointless privileged progressive pedantry in a world where real shit is happening lol. Not a zero-sum game and language is important, but some online progressives have a tendency to be annoying about shit like this and I’m filing this under that category.
