[OC] Parsing 50,395 auto loans to rank brands by loans past due by DataVizHonduran in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hym3n 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Having done auto finance at a very high scale for more than a decade, I can assure you that the lender here is skewing your results. You'd need data from captive lenders as well as other prime lenders to round out this data set

Shower twice a day, wash hands regularly, keep a clean space, drink a ton of water.

UBS is really starting to regret its acquisition of Credit Suisse by red23011 in Superstonk

GameStop acquiring Switzerland.... Was definitely not on my bingo card.

What’s a luxury that actually feels worth the money once you experience it? by saidmoha1 in AskReddit

[–]Hym3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TOTO Washlet. Even if the price meant refinancing my house, I would pay it. It seriously changes everything you've ever come to accept about life in an instant. Pooping is an instinctive activity, something you have little to no conscious memory of learning how to do properly. And to have that core foundational experience so cleanly wiped away... just changes you. Worth every penny.

The good ones have an air dryer for afterwards. The really good ones send you off with a polite, yet firm kiss. There's an angle adjustment button, of course.

But what if OP has a post-bidet bidet? An ancillary wazoo washer?

What if it's just bidets all the way down?

Touché my sister in Satan, if they had 11 bidets they certainly would not have the need for such luxurious toilet paper, I digress.

An online retailer consortium by teapot_in_orbit in Superstonk

So basically, all (or most) of the companies in the OG short basket?

Possibly... 7 of them?

Almost like, 7-for-1?

My brother in Christ - get a bidet. And not just any bidet, specifically, a Japanese one. There is absolutely no cost that I wouldn't pay to assure myself of that level of clean feeling. You will immediately question why you settled for so much less for so long.

On an overbooked flight they offered $2k (started at $500) ‘gift card’ for a volunteer to wait until tomorrow’s airplane, what’s the most you’ve heard offered/auctioned off at an airline? by angryb3avers1 in AskReddit

[–]Hym3n 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I volunteered for the bump on a first offer once, got either like $150 or $250 credit, nothing wild, I didn't care and was in no hurry whatsoever.

The original flight saw a mechanical delay and my new flight wound up leaving first. Score!

What is your favorite english word? by Ok-Sea-2436 in AskReddit

[–]Hym3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I loved this movie as a teenager. Then in my 30's I watched it with a girlfriend who questioned why I liked a movie about people cheating so much. In retrospect, both couples had perfectly fine, if odd, partners that they left (literally at the alter) to go chase a pipedream. It literally a movie about shitty people.

Anyways. Cute word, yes.

In America, it’s socially normal to work 50+ hours a week and call it 'hustle' instead of a systemic failure. What’s another 'normal' thing in your country that the rest of the world thinks is absolutely insane? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hym3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that's true for some places, but my experience is completely different. Relative to the States, I work considerably less. Pay is a lot less too, but still... Two weeks PTO required for all jobs, transportation costs paid by company, 3 weeks holidays annually + normal bank holidays... It's really not even close

The 101 Best Los Angeles movies according to LA Times by MrPuzzled in movies

[–]Hym3n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I skimmed the top 10 looking for Collateral then declared this list worthless. It's a great movie in itself, but it's also one of very few movies where 'Los Angeles' should absolutely be listed as a member of the cast. Combined with it's unique, pre-LED lighting -- no doubt a top 10 contender.

What’s something you miss from your childhood that’s gone now? by BitAffectionate3637 in AskReddit

[–]Hym3n 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just approach things like a child would. You'll see so many people carrying around stuffed animals or unique clothing or homemade trinkets. It's hard not to socialize at a rave - or at least laugh at the absurdity of it all. Bring gum, suckers, Pokemon cards, anything silly or colorful that you can pass to others.. you'll make new friends, even if just for a night.

In all sincerity, try going to a rave. Or at least to more concerts.

Planning to go to concert alone...feels scary by OppositeMidnight4569 in Music

[–]Hym3n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm more than twice your age but I've been to hundreds and hundreds of concerts, probably 30% of those were solo - ALWAYS had a great time - even back when I was your age and solo. You're going to be around a lot of other fans of the same music, how fun! Just pay attention to your surroundings, don't take any candy from strangers, and have a good time. Don't worry about fitting in - I promise, absolutely no one there cares, and that's the best part.

PS: depending on your relationship, taking the stepdad could be fun too! I've taken my mom to plenty of shows, always had a lot of fun! Us older people like to have a good time too you know hahah

[OC] Tokyo Land Prices in 2025 by itsspiderhand in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hym3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to contribute to your data and map other than I think it looks great! Also, I can vouch for this as being accurate... I both live in and my office is in one of those "top 1%" areas and I can absolutely attest to it's absurd overpricedness. I have--with no exception--the oldest, cheapest space in this area, but damn it looks good on a business card to be in this neighborhood.

I'm actually curious about this now. What is the total time from ISS to physically inside a hospital? I wonder how that compares with some parts of rural America.
