I appreciate the irony in censoring the person's name with yellow

Peed all over them

I like the fact that they used yellow to censor the username

I'm going to wager that a lot of people exercise their democratic vote exactly like this.

that's why Trump beat Hilary. Six letters to 5. Biden beat Trump because although they have both 5 letters, Biden is lexicographically earlier in the alphabet.

Republicans should run someone called "Bell" to beat Biden.

Maybe people with trypophobia don't like voting at all because they're terrified of those irregular bubble patterns on voting ballots.

The other day I saw a 4 star review that said "I never rate 5 stars" and then had a bunch of positive things to say. Looked at their other reviews and, sure enough, there were a ton of 4 star reviews that started with "I never give 5 stars".

I'm still irrationally angry about. Like, why?! Why fuck up the rating system? Are you worried about star inflation?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Probably the "nothing is perfect" mentality, which doesn't understand that 5 stars or a 10/10 doesn't mean something is perfect because, as they said, nothing is. All ratings are there to be used!

If you give them too many free stars they get lazy and stop trying.

Yep I just had the worst sushi of my life from a place with 4.4 stars. Best place in the city is 4.8. Definitely star inflation

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Shit like that is exactly why so many places don't use stars anymore.

Oh god it just hit me that we’re in for a category 6 shitstorm when he turns senile

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Such a peculiar point of view!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

4 gray stars because it's gray...t.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Lol.. I hate this product but I love yellow! This is a bad review!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, yellow is a shit colour.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If the color of your shit is yellow, you should probably see a doctor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mines turquoise like it should be.

Lay off the Air Heads. You're out of control.™

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Or, just not rate?

I feel like this is copy pasta material. Time will tell.
