Upvoted because I appreciate the exposure for this dating method, but I personally use it for everything. Much clearer for a lot of reasons IMO. Biggest to smallest pretty much always makes the most sense.

Rule of 400

I think they meant a quarter of the population being illiterate, that is, that fact that such a statistic exists, is “fucking nuts,” not the illiterate population themselves.

Christian squeezing Apollo for its last bit of money

I can’t get behind this narrative. Honestly, how else do you market this product? On Twitter? On Facebook? Mastodon maybe?

Look, he’s updating an app that hasn’t been operational in months… nobody who still has that app has any illusions of it coming back. What do they expect when they open that app?

I won’t buy a plushie, since I don’t have a place for it, but I had many fond years using Apollo, and wouldn’t mind buying something like this at all, and I would have never known otherwise (except for people complaining about it online.)

Unions are like condoms

Reply in thread

I do actually agree with his initial statement, which was “if my workers need a union to stay safe, I will consider it a personal failure.”

…absolutely agreed. His conclusion of that his workers shouldn’t need one though, is the problem. They should have one. However, if the union needs to step in because he’s being a dick, then he has failed indeed. Guess it was a good thing they had a union though, right? Oh wait…

Small car problems rule

I was at a set of train tracks behind a large truck. Well, in front of him, a car was stalled with hazards on. He looks behind him, backs up to go around the guy, and taps my front bumper. Dude’s truck was so large he couldn’t even see me in the rear view, and the side mirrors made me invisible since the wheel wells were so wide.

I don’t even drive a tiny car or anything, just a mid-sized sedan….

I hate driving or riding in large vehicles though. I feel like they’re tall, unwieldy, and I’m short, so I usually can just see high enough to drive but always feel like I’m about to hit everything. Can’t imagine having one as a daily driver.

I’m not sure what you mean. What aspects of it?

I cope with loud noises with AirPods Pro with noise cancellation.

I cope with communication issues by practicing phrases and explanations.

I cope with hyperfixation by setting schedules and alarms.

What do you need help with?

Me getting into gaming: Woo! Lots of fun games on my Xbox with cheap used games!

Me getting into computers: Yeah, this is great! A bit more expensive, but plenty of potential, just gotta keep it in budget!

Me getting into cars: …fuck

The end of cool small cars

“Dope” lingo aside, I actually agree with the statements made in the article. I wish he would touch on the increasing safety standards and the like, but in general, yes. Cars are getting overall very, very large, and SUVs and Pickup Trucks are everywhere now, despite most people not needing them. I don’t pretend to know why, but it’s increasingly common.
