  • I noticed that a lot of my friends who are really online think that everyone will always agree with them.

    My theory is that this happens because they are used to their algorithm only showing them content/comments of things they agree with and since that makes the bulk of interactions with other people, they think everyone is like that.

    Also dehumanizing people who they aren’t politically aligned with. I think that people who “touch grass” more often, deal with people all over the political spectrum so they can separate the human side from the politics side.

    These are just my theories btw I don’t have evidence aside from my anecdotes. A sample pool of like 10 people lol so clearly not enough









  • Reminds of me of when I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey and was confused because I had heard great things about the soundtrack, but it was just a bunch of songs I had heard before.

    About halfway through the movie I realized that it was an original soundtrack and it was so influential that it became a cliche. 2001: A Space Odyssey was a cliche, not because it followed a saturated trend, but because it itself was copied by everyone else.

    AC1’s concept and maybe even story has held up, but you’re right that the later entries feel miles better.





  • I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao

    • Fired from unplugging security cameras to charge his phone
    • 30yo man harassing a 17yo girl
    • That man’s wife fighting the 17yo girl for “flirting” with her husband even though she wasn’t
    • Got on top of some shelves and took a nap. These shelves are really tall and you need a lift to get on top of them

    These weren’t on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning

    • Racing during lunch in the parking lot
    • 10+ person brawl in the parking lot over a guy stealing another guy’s girlfriend
    • A guy left his keys in his car so another guy just broke the window. He said he thought it was funny and that he got the bit from a movie, tv, or comedian or something
    • A couple people got caught taking lunch on top of the shelves in a corner because the lunchroom was too loud. They also had a bed up there made up bubble wrap and yoga mats
    • Going full speed into a door with a forklift while the forks were fully lifted
    • Doing BMX tricks off the truck dock. I think people were riding skateboards off it too but I can’t remember 100%

    That’s all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol


  • Hmm I think that for a lot of people, it wasn’t a choice to get fat. I know a lot of kids who are already obese and they aren’t even in their teens.

    However, I do think it’s a choice once you’ve realized it and have the ability to actually do something about it.

    Kinda related but unrelated: it irks me when someone comments how easy it is for me to be skinny, bc it isn’t. As a previously underweight person, I think gaining and losing weight are just as hard. I had to control my diet, work out, and have a lot of self control to not lose the habits I was building. I folded and stagnated a lot, and yeah it was demotivating but I still had to make a choice to keep going.
