Don’t remember ever seeing one of the hats in person, but that could be due to moatly avoiding that type of person or setting where they would be worn.
The stupid flags were fucking everywhere from 2016 through 2021. Saw a few flags this year, but not nearly as many as apparently the novelty wore off even though most people in the state voted for that jackass again because Americans don’t ever learn from their mistakes.
The word consumer is so demeaning
It should be, and it is accurate in this case.
Unless they are tighter than expected, especially when they shrink.
Ever been camping on a hike? You need to do some basic things that naturally come hp as you go. You don’t need a ton of things, so it isn’t too hard to keep track of stuff on a set schedule. Natural changes in light and weather prompt for action, and you get to look around and explore.
Monthly bills, complicated requirements for insurance, forcing my sleep schedule to fit the rest of the world, trying not to fidget when sitting for hours on end at a desk, keeping track of eveeyone’s names. Those are the things that make life difficult for me. I’m focring myself through it, but it sucks and I only need medication because I am on someone else’s schedule.
If I ever retired I would not need medication. I did fine at simple jobs that didn’t pay enough before getting diagnosed. Hell, sometimes I take leave when my wife and kid are traveling and don’t bother taking meds. Everything important gets done and I actually accomplish quite a bit of optional stuff as long as I can do it on my schedule.
A comparable poster for a regular kid would be standing and facing a corner as punishment.
This poster is describing pure torture for me.
A world where people with ADHD thrive would be perfectly fine for non-ADHD people too. The examples of figuring out new things would get passed to non-ADHD people and is passed down and refined. That is actually how societies have worked until industrialization where difficulty following a regimented schedule and so many things to keep track of made ADHD a disorder.
Was this the same bit as the used cock ring salesman bit or did Mr. Show have cock rings as a running gag?
I didn’t see more than a handful of episodes due to not having cable at the time.
That said, if everyone stuck to basic facts and focussed on clarity rather than content, the world would be a mega boring place.
I’m just saying they should be more clear about the content in situations where clarity is necessary. It isn’t like science is boring because the communication about black holes and nuclear explosions is clear and direct in those settings. Science is the best example of blending clarity where it is needed and humor/sarcasm/throwing shade for fun when clarity isn’t as important.

It amazes me how accepting most people are of ads. I suspect Google’s going to win, and their ultimate contribution to humanity will be forcing ads into everything.
People just eat up ‘personalized’ things so whoever coined ‘personalized ads’ was an evil genius.
Also the vast majority of human communication, which is so full of implications instead of stating things directly to determine who is part of their in group or to avoid conflict that people have a hard time just being clear and concise when they really should be.
A crummy history of ads on the internet:
Starts out mostly used in formal fields and universities. Very usable!
Businesses get on board and start the horrible ad infestation, leading to scammers and popup hell duw to misuse of a feature.
Ad blockers start to reign in that shit, and the better browsers kill the popup infestation at the source. Pretty darn usable at this point, except for internet explorer.
Google, an ad company, decides to make a browser so they can do all the malicious advertising and tracking on the backend.
uBlock Origin is too effective at blocking the browser based tracking and advertising so google decided to do the manifest 3 or whatever that bullshit is called to openly force ads onto users.
Based on history, I expect chrome to die a slow death due to the backlash from the manifest crap, but could be wrong since people are apparently fine with ads being forced into streaming services.
What they mean does not matter.
It literally says each grain of rice,.
I really want a law that requires clothing sizes to include actual measurements.
Men’s pants are sized based on the number of inches around the waist and the inseam. The inseam is stupid because it ignores the height from the waist to the crotch so relaxed fitting jeans will have a shorter inseam than a regular fit. I’m sure it is because it was standardized when higher waisted jeans and overalls and that kind of stuff was popular.
But it doesn’t matter any more because the waist sizes can be off by a few inches anyway. It was literal, then became kind of close. Not as bad as women’s clothing, but it is brand specific depending on how hard they lean into vanity sizing.
I have a long torso and broad shoulders, so I have to get xl tall shirts in some brands because most make their standard xl shirts wider but not taller than med and small.
Banana Republic is the shortest length. Hurley is the best length.
Which sounds uncomfortably close to slavery to me…
That’s because it is.
But is the nazi rhetoric on facebook coming from the owners?
Context really matters I don’t have an opinion on a lot of sports due to disinterest while other people make their opinions on sports their personality. But there are some things that people should have opinions on even if that opinion is ‘leave it to the experts’.
Having an opinion that is terrible might be worse than not having an opinion at all. For example, not having an opinion about other races would be better than having racist opinions.
I think what you are really asking is if people should have opinions about the things that affect them. Yes, they should have opinions about those things.
I’ll bet they don’t mean crying due to dropping a case of soda on a foot though.
The people that moved to streaming to get away from commercials switched a long time ago. Others watched the streaming sotes that had commercials because it was free or aignificsntly cheaper than cable.
Of course being greedy companies means they want both the subscriptions and the ad revenue.
Chicken scratch.
