A_Very_Big_Fan,

Just another instance of common anti-consumer behavior from multi billion dollar companies who have no respect for the customers that line their pockets.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

Douglas Adams was such a brilliant writer. He was taken from us far too soon

I’ve seen some wild shit during sleep paralysis. One of the tamer fits I had was seeing a really tall human-shaped apparition that was made of the shadow in the corner of my room. It felt like he cursed me to not be able to move. I was scared of that corner for a few nights.

One of the crazier ones: One night I was going to sleep with my curtains open, but the blinds were down so lines of orange light were spilling in from the street light onto the ceiling. I had the window open, so the occasional breeze pushed and pulled the lines like waves on a beach. It was hypnotizing. I was watching them half asleep, and eventually they slowly started morphing into what looked like pretty glowing runes dancing around my ceiling.

Then I start hearing voices outside my apartment. In reality, I’m sure it was a few teenagers walking home while having an unreasonably loud conversation for the time of night, but what I heard was 3 of them, multiplying into maybe 6, then tens of them, hundreds, thousands… Eventually it felt like an ocean of people was outside my apartment. Playful voices that were utterly unconcerned with me, not even aware I existed, but I was terrified they might spill into my room and kill me. The juxtaposition between the threat of being overrun by whoever those voices were coming from and the complete lack of visual evidence that there was anyone there at all was surreal.

At this point I know it’s sleep paralysis because I can’t move, but I try my best to drag myself off the bed with what little motor functions I still have to hopefully wake me up on impact. Eventually I succeed, and I wake up in my bed. The orange lines are spilling onto my ceiling just like before. Everything is quiet again, with just the soft sound of my fan whirring, slowly turning left and right.

And then I think about what just happened… If I woke up by falling onto the floor, how am I still in my bed?

Now the fan has morphed into a monster with a head of violently spinning blades, twisting and looming over me while making intimidating metallic sounds.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

If you report it, yes. When this happened to me, (paraphrasing) they begged me in the text chat to not report them because they’d risk getting suspended.

To be fair, I was working customer service at the time but they still gave my food to a completely different store. And you gotta report it to get your order redelivered or refunded, so I did it anyways. Their English was awful and I’m sure that was how they ended up at the wrong store, but if this is happening often enough that they get suspended… That’s not on me 🤷‍♀️

My sister did DoorDash deliveries and she’d steal food if the customer did the default tip or less. She got a few free meals out of it, but she’s banned from dashing now lol.

‘Futurama’ Fans Discover How A Tragedy Changed A Classic Joke — For the Better (www.cracked.com)

Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn’t have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.

Here’s the single sentence you’re looking for out of this several-paragraph long AI generated article:

They changed Bender’s career chip to read “chainsaw juggler” instead of “prime minister of Norway” because of a terrorist attack on the actual prime minister of Norway, which works better because Bender had his dismembered arm.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

How has nobody mentioned the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie? I saw it as a kid and even I wanted to leave.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

How does your ISP not molotov your house for this lol

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I think it’s moreso the effect of big music labels figuring out how to make music with the broadest possible appeal. Clearly it worked, because these songs do really well statistically, but the result is songs with the blandest possible personality

A_Very_Big_Fan,

Never understood why people found that look attractive. Even I did find it attractive, there’s still that layer of insecurity that comes with putting so much money and effort into looking borderline inhuman that just puts a bad taste in my mouth

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I’m noticing a common theme with the “sovereign citizens” where they can’t for the life of them look at what they’re typing or use the backspace key

A_Very_Big_Fan,

It’s not possible lol. Apple makes it as difficult as humanly possible to alter their OS. We’re lucky enough to be able to jailbreak iPhones

Honestly, though, as much as I hate how restrictive iPhones are, I gotta admit they’re restrictive in a way that makes things a lot easier for people who aren’t tech-savvy. What part are you struggling with? I haven’t owned an iPhone since the 5C but I could probably help.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I’ve literally never met someone who claimed we actually live in a simulation though

A_Very_Big_Fan,

Right? There’s a lot to criticize the US government for, but I’m pretty sure that this is already how things work. No idea what OP is on about

The vanishing of the small high-end smartphone (www.smh.com.au)

Manufacturers don’t make displays under 6 inches available for purchase, with special cases (such as the iPhone Mini) being made under exclusive contracts. The best lead they have so far is to try to use displays designed for the front part of a foldable phone, but they’re yet to strike an agreement....

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I just want one with a removable battery and a headphone jack…

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I know it’s just supposed to be cute but these obviously made up stories make me cringe
