It was a freak gasoline fight accident

That’s a self-defeating attitude. Be careful with what you’re looking for, because you’re likely to find it. If you’re looking for reasons that she doesn’t like you, you’re going to find them!

15 hours, huh? Have you finished creating your first character yet?

I’ve thought about it and I really should have just let that guy in. I don’t remember all of the details, I just remember feeling righteously indignant afterward, so that’s how I tell the story. It was probably just a coincidence that we ended up at the same speed right next to each other and it would have been super easy to just move over, barely an inconvenience.

In the US the person in the acceleration lane/on-ramp is responsible for merging with the flow of traffic on the highway, presumably because the person already on the highway has less opportunity to yield safely.

One time, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, as a car was getting on they accelerated right up next to me and then did the same speed as me until the acceleration lane ended and then honked at me for being in their way.

I don’t think I was in the wrong there even if it would have been easy to change lanes for the other car. They could have just as easily merged ahead of or behind me.

I like the word “pairents”

I’m on Sync as well, and I can see some avatars but not others

Maybe it’s just that Sync is an outdated mess, but I can’t even see your profile pic. I can see others, just not yours.

Tongue-punching the fart box

It’s not just the information for me, he’s also passionate about the stuff that he explores and that comes across in his videos.

It’s a government official making a claim based on easily verifiable bad evidence, so if the whole thing wasn’t suspect before, it most certainly is now, right? Why should we give the benefit of the doubt? Not only has the administration not earned that right, they’ve shown over and over again that they don’t extend that benefit to anyone else.

It fucking amazes me that we don’t hold our leaders to a higher standard, and it worries me that people don’t seem to want to.

Is there an interpretation where it means somebody who is shockingly audacious?

Bro, I thought you were describing your co-worker!

People don’t like when you don’t answer their question because it doesn’t give them an answer to their question. Just answer the question first and then hop on your high horse to tell them why it’s not going to work.

No idea why my previous comment shows as quoted, but whatever

My argument is that if they were actually competing that would mess with the performative nature of the storytelling.

Oof, yeah, forgot about that. Yeah, people are people everywhere… I just liked having a more idyllic version of things in my head

When I lived in Germany I found that the people were far more self-policing than Americans. There just seemed to be a general attitude of, “we know we’re not supposed to do that, so we don’t.”

Fully anecdotal, sure, and that was 15 years ago, but nonetheless it’s hard for me to imagine “ze Germans” tampering with odometers to sell cars.

athlete Athletes compete or strive against others to attain a goal, TV wrestlers perform, or enact a feat before an audience.

Our copy of doom had a handwritten label

I don’t think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it’s easy to check for yourself.
