Right? This whole “cats bad/evil/hellions/selfish” trope is boring and wrong. Like, how do you treat your cats? All of mine have been love bug, cuddle bug sweethearts. I’ve met some cats who are annoying mischief makers, but I think a lot of that depends on the people.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. As a cyclist in NYC myself, the hate that I see bicyclists get is fucking absurd.
“That person is riding their bike in traffic! How dangerous!”
Like, motherfuckers, you’re the ones forcing us to ride in traffic. And it wouldn’t be dangerous without the car element. The danger is in the cars. A bicycle crash can hurt and cause damage, but with a helmet? You’re mostly pretty safe from deadly accidents. THE CARS ARE THE ONES CAUSING THE DANGER. Not the cyclists.
And then all this talk about congestion pricing being ridiculous. TAX THE FUCK out of them. Ban them. It’s a fucking addiction. And a crippling one. Why people take cars into the city is mind boggling. Like you said, it’s necessary, especially here, for there to be some traffic. Deliveries for businesses, cabs. That’s pretty much it. But, no. Every single road is full of parked cars, driving cars, double parked cars BLOCKING THE FUCKING BIKE LANES EVERY 100 GODDAMN FEET…it’s actual lunacy.
It’s such a bikeable city. Few hills, relatively short distances. But with cars creating so much traffic, it seems far because everyone sits in a car in stop and go traffic for 45min to get from the FiDi to the park. All these wasted resources with cops directing traffic UNDERNEATH FUNCTIONING STOPLIGHTS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO AGGRAVATED SITTING IN TRAFFIC THAG THEYLL ALL JUST BLOCK THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THEYVE GONE THROUGH FIVE LIGHT CYCLES, the constant construction…it’s lunacy. There’s really no other word for it.
I think I’m getting old, I don’t understand any of this. Nor who is even talking. I guess I just never used tumblr, though its heyday was definitely in my time.
Jesus. I mean, thank you for that explanation, but I also feel even more in the dark because I’m not even familiar with most of them. Except the Lorax. But I definitely don’t remember the book well enough from my childhood to remember the villain.
I mean, yes and no. You read the article and think, “that…sounds like bullshit.” You don’t read the article, read the two paragraphs where they attribute the “miracles” to this kid and think “what miracles are they attributing to him?”
lol see what I mean? It’s not a super uncommon thing for people to not read the article. I’d say even maybe the majority of commenters don’t.
Sure we can. If it gives you bad information because it can’t differentiate between a joke a good information…well, seems like the blame falls exactly at the feet of the AI.
READ THE QUIETCOMFORT PRIVACY POLICY SUPER DUPER CAREFULLY. I got the quiet comfort II and ran them back to the store because they wanted permission to passively listen to my environment, listen to anything that passed through my headphones, “map my head movements” whatever the fuck that means. Fuck that company for that. Be very careful. If that stuff matters to you, I guess. If not, knock yourself out.
White noise? I mean, sure, I understand the local headphones having to be aware of sound, but this was all in connection with the app they try to get you to download. And then when I avoided that and went on their helpline, they were trying to get me to sign the same privacy policy, but it was buried in another privacy policy for the chat.
Hey, call me paranoid, but there’s no reason for them to tell me they can if they want to turn my earbuds into bugs for their marketing purposes. Maybe that’s just me.
And these fuckers aren’t anarchists. They’re asshole right wingers who think they want companies to have even more power because they read ayn Rand once.
This country needs more than two parties. But these assholes? What the fuck, USA?
Right? There was never any context for what I was supposed to be doing with it. Everyone else must’ve seen it elsewhere and figured it’s a known thing?
What the fuck is the fascination with this guy eating himself to death? Who watches it? Why do they watch it? He seems popular enough to be a pretty damn big YouTuber. But it seems really…gross and upsetting.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen pictures of him when he first started. It’s—I’m sorry—disgusting and sad. I don’t mean that in like an “overweight people are gross and sad” kind of way. I literally mean that him doing all of this for goddamn YouTube views (and yes, probably an assload of money) while being overtly gross is just pathetic and weird.
