They were less confrontational and more likely to accept direction

So, I know that access to information has made it seem like violent crime is happening more often even though it's actually been trending down. And I'm just wondering if that same phenomenon is happening with plane problems. Because it feels like there's a new issue with a Boeing plane every fucking day and I'm just wondering if that's due to an increase in reporting or if Boeing planes are actually blowing up more often than they used to.

That's because he's the same character in both movies. Aldous Snow

Nah, it's been this way forever. Only, it used to be reserved for nerds and geeks enjoying d&d, comics, and whatever else wasn't cool at the time. Society's just at a point now where the jocks aren't the defacto popular kids so their hobbies are fair game for ridicule now too.

It should be, "Refunding Helldivers 2 after playing more than 2 hours."

What a great example of a catch-22

Also, how fucking long does it take someone to put their number in a phone? Like, you open the add new contact screen and hand the phone over. They should make 10 taps for their phone number and maybe one tap to save it. 11 taps total. No one should be swiping through your phone just to add their number.

What happens to the money you donate at the cash register? 

This is where you round up your bill to give to a charity designated by the retailer, and the donation amount appears on your receipt. The store serves only as a collection agent for your gift. Assuming the business is following the law, it will not include your donation as part of its business receipts, or income, nor will it claim the charitable gift as an expense. 

In other words, your gift has zero impact on the store’s income taxes. Keep in mind that the store chooses the receiving charity, so make sure it is one you can support. As a customer, the donation will appear on your receipt and you can claim it as a charitable deduction when you file your income tax return. But you probably won’t.

Oh man. An ex's dad and I used to jam together. I played bass and he played guitar. It wasn't anything crazy but we had fun messing around and making music. He was an audio engineer and invited me to help out on a few gigs. I have some great memories setting shit up in the pouring rain at one of the shows he brought me to. 15 years later, I definitely miss him more than her.

It's "I bone my dog". The heart is a background image, not part of the sentence.

Did you not see the diagram?

Similarly, "they" is also shorter than "he/she"

This isn't about tipping culture. It's very specifically about racism. Tipping is just the thing they're using to punish the people they hate

Celebrating your sports team win isn't any less productive than doom scrolling

And have been born to the right parents.

I believe the giveaway was only for 48 hours so it might be over

You're holding everyone to the same standard: Don't be a racist asshole, but you're treating people differently depending on how they meet that standard.

Not according to Jennifer Lawrence, “I remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.”

Idk. I think it's just easier to rely on a specific someone whose job it is to put shit in the proper place than to hope every random person who takes a book off the shelf can put it back in the proper place. Like, I get what you're saying. It isn't a big ask to have people return a book after looking at it. But it's so easy for them to put it in the wrong spot. And once it's on the shelf, it's much harder to notice that it's out of place. It seems counter intuitive, but it's more efficient to simply leave the book out after looking at it

I only understand what you're talking about because of Kerbal Space Program
