    Nah, name and shame, 100% that will likely actually make a difference over traffic stops or photo radar.

    Yeah, and when my GPS skips for a second and my speed registers as 89+mph for a few seconds as the system catches up I’ll really be shamed for what a horrible person I’ve been!

    (This isn’t even a hypothetical, I regularly see my estimated speed in android auto get wonky because GPS signal isn’t perfect)


  • Ill add something I’ve never really seen anyone mention: it used to be a lot better at staying on topic without ME keeping it that way

    For example: this weekend I was playing Blops 3 and googled shit like “Winslow accord bo3” and after 1-3 searches I could just type shit related to bo3 and even if it had relevant pages related to other shit, it’d remember my recent searches and keep them rather relevant even if it was on my phone or a new window rather than the same search bar

    At least, it used to work that way. Now every 4-5 searches it suddenly forgets what tangent I was on and I have to start adding qualifiers again to get relevant searches





  • They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

    Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.

    They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow

    Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed


  • I’ve seen multiple people suggest hunting and get correctly told thats inaccurate

    But would war fighting, or just fighting in general what with our aggression n shit help explain it?

    The only times I’ve noticed this discrepancy in life are when hunting with women of playing competitive FPS games with my wife watching. I’ll regularly see and react to things they don’t, and are shocked when I shoot the sniper out of the tree on the other side of the map because yes, I did see him and I’m not crazy when I say I see shit flicker gdi

    Aliasing also bothers me more than any woman I know, and everyone I know who hates it as much as me is a man


  • I carefully got what I expected my party to get through for their first few sessions as maps into Roll20, fog of war so that they can only see what they’d reasonably have seen so far themselves, mood music set to play when going to the appropriate screens, snacks, and a big ass black cloak and evil laugh. Really went all out with it.

    The people I first did it for ghosted me and when I went by their house later that night (parents lived down the street) everyone’s cars were there

    I still do whenever I get groups that want to play, but it always makes me feel like I’m wasting my time now :(









  • My wife hates that I do this because it absolutely burns bridges, but fuuuuck these people

    Doctor makes me wait 30-45 minutes 3 visits in a row? I’ll walk that third time the second it hits 30m (you got charged for being that late so why couldn’t I charge them after all?)

    Job interviewer more than 5 minutes late? I’ll get up and walk out of your building without escort, I remember the way. If you can’t be on time to your own building, go fuck yourself
