i was confused by the signs you sometimes see on escalators that are apparently warning you of their own existence for a good few years as a child

yeah same for me, about five years.

it's not just that i can still get what i need. it's also that i just 'need' way less shit.

i think i realized i had a problem when my brother in law made fun of me for having an 8-port USB charger on my bedside table (with a single cable for my phone plugged into it).

i dunno, the premise of this question seems to me like homelessness is a riddle that homeless people just have not figured out. im pretty sure that if the answer could be crowdsourced in eight hours from eighty sysadmins on the toilet, it wouldn't be such an intractable problem

from what i recall of the anthony weiner documentary this was almost certainly a factor for him

i kind of can't believe how long my Seasonic PSU is lasting. It's been on continuously for the last like, 12 years. unreal

piece of chicken which he scarfed disturbingly fast

yeah kanye for me too. used to be my favorite artist, paid out the ass for tickets on multiple tours, knew all the words to his first like, six albums. haven't listened to him in like a year and a half after the Alex Jones interview and Adidas stories came out. it's not even virtue signaling, it's just too much work to not think about all the horrible shit he's done and said. i count myself extremely lucky that i never got a tattoo

look i mean, wherever the line is, im pretty confident nazis are on the other side of it

alfredo sauce. brings me right back to big family nights out at olive garden when my dad would slip the waiter five bucks to pretend like they just ran out of pasta

say the full name, coward

i have a pretty specific example, but i do this in the comment section on pretty much every post about EVs, because very frequently there's somebody repeating the lazy myth that oh actually EVs are just as bad as internal combustion engine vehicles because loose awareness of life cycle assessment. people state this all the time as if it's some kind of philosophical point about the impossibility of technological solutions to climate change, when in actuality it is a quantitative falsehood that is easily disproven with very cursory research, like you can pull up the relevant data from the IEA in like five minutes. ive told this to probably like fifty people, including at my job at an EV company, and it has never once changed their mind, i guess because again people are actually not looking to engage with this point quantitatively. but it still takes me a little while to disengage from my natural inclination to be helpful about something that on its surface is a math question.
