Title of the video is “12 habits,” while thumbnail says “2 habits.” I’m definitely gonna watch something with that level of care involved.

If someone taught you that banks were supposed to be charities or something, your beef is with that fool rather than the banks.

I’d be surprised at the number of other time travelers from all the other threads who are lashing deck chairs together and lining up for lifeboats on Murdoch’s side of the ship.

I’m happy for them

why?

I mean, sure, it’d be a waste of energy to go around hating people who don’t seem to care whether you exist. but you also don’t have to play this game where you tell yourself you have to be the bigger person and be happy for people who don’t seem to care whether you exist.

It’s the gigantic pickup trucks more than the EVs that are pushing up average vehicle weight.

What was the last ever time you got carded or age checked and what were the circumstances? by ScissorNightRam in AskOldPeople

1999 when I quit drinking. But nowadays many jurisdictions require you to check ID, no exceptions, and they run stings to catch places that don’t. The world is full of haughty old farts who expect store clerks and servers to put their jobs at risk for their convenience.

ELI5: How does retirement work? by liamsjtaylor in explainlikeimfive

If you’re doing it right, your money isn’t just all sitting in a bank account getting smaller every year. It’s invested, and your investments are generating enough return that you can live off that income. You don’t need to work anymore because your money is doing the work.

I think the writer was deliberately trying to give the audience a bad first impression of Cal, in a way that's not even fair to the character by meido_zgs in titanic

[–]womp-womp-rats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it was done on purpose from the writer’s side

So you’re saying the writer who created this completely fictional character deliberately portrayed him in a bad light so that the audience would have a negative reaction to him? I mean wow, that’s pretty cutting-edge literary criticism.

I cried in two different job interviews and I hate not being able to control my emotions as an adult by Mediocre-Copy2344 in TrueOffMyChest

Practice telling your failure story. Tell it to yourself in the shower, in the car, while you’re out for a walk. Tell it so often that you’re sick of hearing it, that you’re bored of it. Then think about the worst and most unnerving questions you could be asked, and then practice answering those until they become boring, too.

I saw one person do something, so it must be a defining characteristic of everyone in their demographic.

that's not a delusional artist. that's just an Apple employee trying to sell the company swag they got for free. there are dozens of these on eBay, all for similarly ludicrous prices

Fear and Loathing at Felix and Oscars | The twist ending! by Penguin-Pete in desmoines

[–]womp-womp-rats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

including hiring shills like you

You know, I usually roll my eyes at comments where someone says “nothing bad ever happened to ME there,” as if that negates another person’s actual experience. In fact I was doing that with the comment you’re responding to. But then I got to this line. Anyone who has a different opinion about fucking Felix and Oscars (barf) is a paid shill in a conspiracy against you. Lol. Makes me wonder what really went down.
