  • It's just one big white line

  • Why is everyone vehemently against easier lives?

    Jump

  • I hate automation to the point of being a Ludite. We're chasing our own tails. Every new luxury becomes a necessity we can't do without and we become enslaved

  • Don’t underestimate the Rogansphere. His mammoth ecosystem is Fox News for young people

    Jump

  • The same people I know who fall for bullshit on Fox fall for bullshit on Joe Rogan. They'll complain about "THE MEDIA" and tells you all about their "research "

  • My trick for dealing with "blushing bladder" is a Palovian response on myself. I realized I had certain pee triggers. Long story short, there are certain places and situations that cause me to need to urinate. So I figured why not use a word as a trigger? While at home I began saying the trigger word just as I felt the flow begin. Every time I pee, I say the word. My blushing bladder went away. Some of the music venues i frequent have urinals literally elbow to elbow so it's awkward but there's no trouble when I say the trigger word. The only problem now is people look at me weird when I'm looking at my dick saying "shazam".

  • How to get away from owning a smartphone

    Jump

  • Godspeed!

    You didn't specify your reasoning for getting away from smartphones. Cost or to escape the trappings? Other? I was thinking you could hang on to your smartphone and just delete the nonessential stuff.

  • Most of the time just the headline. If it's obviously opinion I'll often skip. If the headline is a question I'll usually skip. If it's an obviously horrific story I'll skip. If it's something that is relevant or useful I'll read. You are what you eat. That applies to your eyes and ears as well as your mouth

  • What would 10 year old you be the most surprised about you now?

  • "for your kids sake" is the only part that should be relevant. This is for you to decide. If the answer is no that's ok but you owe him an explanation. If the answer is yes you have it in you to make everyone else uncomfortable

  • This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X

    How do you know you aren't smart?

    Jump

  • Everyone is smart about something but dumb about most things

  • What was the most unforgettable interaction you've ever had with a stranger?

    Jump

  • Sitting in my work van at a red light i spot a woman approximately 150ft away exiting an office building through a revolving glass door. She's pushing the door when it comes to a sudden stop. Confused she gives it a forceful push before realizing an elderly woman was trying to enter the same door and had become stuck half in half out and that why the wasn't spinning. With an embarrassed look on her face our eyes lock and we both start laughing. Our interaction was wordless and brief but I still remember it after 30 years

  • What do people that are for the first time moving to a place where is snows need to know?

    Jump

  • When driving in snow or icy roads it's worth knowing that there are times where it's best not to panic and slam on the brakes. Sometimes it's safer to take your foot off of both the brake and gas pedals particularly if there is little danger of colliding with what's in front of you. Every fiber in your body may be telling you to hit the brakes but you have to ignore it, similar to encountering a bear in the wild and your body wants to run. It's counterintuitive. I highly suggest finding an empty parking lot full of snow and driving around. Try to make the car slide. It's best to learn in an environment like this. Same thing goes for when your car drives through a puddle of water or just as importantly when half your car drives through a puddle. Two tires locking up while the other two get no traction can cause a spin out or loss of control.

    Staying dry is just as important as staying warm. Melting snow on a mild day can soak your feet. Sweating from dressing too warm can make you clammy and cold. Minor adjustments in your clothing like removing or adding a hat or gloves can make a big difference. A scarf or neck gaitor can make a big difference.

    Another driving one... check your driving app of choice for traffic before you're leaving the house. Be patient. Know when to put your foot down and tell your boss it's just not worth it.

    Lastly, take up a winter activity. You may find yourself (like me) looking forward to winter. Buy cross-country skis and it will never snow enough

  • TIL about Greg Hildebrandt, who sadly passed away yesterday. He, and his brother Tim, were responsible for an image that takes so many of us instantly back to our childhoods.
