If I’m startled, like a jump-scare or something, I’ll likely gasp, but if I see a car accident or someone falling or something explode, I’m far more likely to say “Oh shit” than gasp.

On a semi-related note, I really hate the people (mostly women, sorry ladies, and I say this as a woman myself) who scream when something bad happens, but the bad thing didn’t happen directly to them, they are just witnessing the bad thing. And they scream anyway. I hate that shit.

I think it’s some animal instinct thing leftover from our primitive days that’s supposed to draw attention to the bad thing? But at this point in our evolution it just feels like that person is drawing attention to themselves and away from the actual issue.

Uhh, you mean like this? https://engrish.com/

Oh I’m thankful for the replacement, I’m just not thrilled with now having to find a way to properly dispose of the faulty one.

They didn’t offer that, they only offered a replacement.

Not to hijack your question, but I’m in a similar situation where the Anker power bank I use to charge my phone got recalled because it can apparently cause fires. Lurking here to see how people respond to your question, because I know I shouldn’t just throw it away, and none of the battery recycle places around town will take it because it’s been recalled.

She has a severe allergy to something? Sounds like a weakness that we cannot afford the head of DHS to have.

Only infidels think more than one move ahead!

I’m worried this is happening to me right now. I’m in my mid-40s and lately the day after all the spicy foods I usually consume have not been pleasant. Is there no fix for this??

I wanted to give a second vote for discord. I’m in several channels that aren’t for videogames but for my other hobbies, and things like age/gender never even really come up because everyone is there to talk about whatever said hobby is. Then again, I do most of my communication through text and not voice and I suppose that can make a difference when dealing with the younger crowds.

There’s a book called The Black Eagle Inn by Christoph Fischer that kinda delves into this. I read it because I was interested in the same thing in terms of the “average” person living in Nazi Germany, but man it was a slog to get through and it’s only 300 pages. I don’t know if it’s just poorly translated or what, but the writing is awful. I’m sure there are better books out there, but you might want to give the book a try.

I love my kids so much I chose not to bring them into this fucked up world.

I never played Oblivion, only Skyrim, which I loved. Is it worth buying the remastered edition, or is it gonna be so similar to Skyrim that it’s not worth the money?

This is interesting to me because in the moment after accomplishing something, I feel great about it. It’s only after time has passed that I look back at that accomplishment and my collective accomplishments throughout life and think to myself “omg, I haven’t done anything, I’m such a loser”, when I have in fact done plenty of things. I have no idea where that thought process comes from. I am not afraid to succeed; I have had to work hard for some, but not all, of my accomplishments. Maybe it’s a “comparing myself to others” thing?

I’m super looking forward to this!

So much winning!

Fuckin’ dumb-dumbs. FAFO.

Nobody is taking Nyquil to decongest, they’re taking it to pass the fuck out.

Oh no! Anyway…

This is what JD Vance wants for America
