People who hurt cats. If you hurt a cat, may you be paralyzed but awake and not numb for the entire duration of an open heart surgery.

AT&T. We recently had an issue where our internet stopped working properly. My mom had to call them four times before they actually fixed our internet. The first time, she was put on hold for about 40 minutes before either the call ended itself or they hung up. The second time, she actually got through to someone but they didn’t fix our internet and instead told us that our current internet package would soon be phased out and then spent about half an hour basically forcing her to getting something called “AT&T Air”.
The third time she called, my mom told them that she didn’t want AT&T Air and that if she can’t use the package we have now, then we’ll be switching ISPs. The woman on the phone said that she’ll cancel the new package and put her on hold for about half an hour but she never did actually cancel the package or fix our internet, and she also never returned so my mom just hung up on her. The fourth time she called, the guy on the phone ran a diagnosis on our internet and finally fixed it within a few minutes. We have no idea why it took so long for them to do this but we’re glad to finally have working internet.
But even though we do now have working internet, we are still thinking about switching ISPs. Even though they did send the equipment to use AT&T Air, we are not going to use it and we are going to send it back and try to get them to actually cancel the package. We aren’t sure exactly when we are going to switch ISPs but my mom stated she wants to wait until after the holidays to do so, which probably means no sooner than January.
Just learned about aspic and now I hate that I wanna try it
Oooh, tell me about aspic?
I often say I hate people but I mostly just hate myself
don’t be mean to him he’s trying his best :(
Same, friend. I hope things get better.
Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.
Any kind of gambling, any kind of magic thinking
The people with high “personal” ambition that ruin this world for the rest of us. I am sure at least one of them was sitting at the table on that first thanksgiving thinking about how to exploit the Native Americans.
That reality is so incredibly fucked up on a fundamental, physical level.
You’re telling me that if I do nothing, my room will get messy, my house will decay, my machines will break down. But somehow matter magically organizes itself into life?
Fuck all the way off.
But somehow matter magically organizes itself into life?
There is a recent, decently-supported hypothesis that the emergence of life is a byproduct of entropy, and the need for a system as a whole to almost “self-process” itself from a state of high order to one of lower order. So life is an emergent “engine” that allows entropy to function more efficiently. Or, at least a more efficient path than non-life.
Downside is that life - as we understand it - is only possible under a narrow range of environmental conditions, and complex life even more so. So while “life” may exist throughout the universe in measured single-celled doses, complex life - especially sapient life - may be distressingly rare or even wholly absent except for us.
Which is a real kick in the nuts when you examine the scientific evidence of how fast we are hurtling towards our own extinction.
Entropy is some god damned bullshit.
I had no idea how bad entropy was until I was an adult. I can’t be happy just relaxing because of the knowledge that everything around me is fucking falling apart and I have to spend every waking hour fighting the entropy around me. You can’t just live in a house or condo or apartment, it’s constantly crumbling.
That new wicked movie. It’s so bad.

Every single person now thinks they’re smarter than everyone else. No matter what their political leanings are, they’re all smarter than everyone else. Smarter than:
- Doctors
- Scientists
- Engineers
- Economists
It’s absolutely ridiculous and it started sometime around the 90s around when Ross Perot first ran for president and it just got worse with social media.
That’s the real problem right now. Everyone thinks they know more than people who spent decades studying and becoming experts in their field.
To be fair, there are a lot of bullshit economists and Doctors.
“Now.” Ironic.
To be fair a lot of people with PHDs are dumb as shit. Maybe not in their field, but in every single other aspect of life. That’s part of why arguments from authority should be avoided–the authority may be expert of their field, but their area of focus is likely extremely narrow.
Absolutely. That’s still kinda the point.
You 100% should not trust:
- An epidemiologist’s opinion on inflation
- A civil engineer’s opinion on viral spread
- An economist’s opinion on traffic flow
They’re just as guilty of this bullshit as everyone else.
An epidemiologist’s opinion on inflation
I agree with your overall premise, but this is a bad example since capitalism is a disease
I hate that most people’s ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.
i mean, have you tried either?
helping your community is a task of endless need and criticism that opens you up to personal liability and attack. like i have been verbally assaulted and threatened by people for helping my community. i’ve never encounter that at my place of employment.
earning lots of money and buying shit is way more fun and easy. when i stay at a hotel the hotel staff don’t threaten to beat the shit out of me.
What!?

Turkey is fucking DRY and flavorless.
Only if it’s not cooked properly. Anyone that feels this way has an open invitation to enjoy brined, compound butter seasoned, spatchcocked goodness at my place. Treat a turkey with love, and it’s delicious!
While it is incredibly difficult to keep the breast meat properly hydrated (even I find the best turkeys seem dry with their white meat), another commenter is absolutely correct - a properly done turkey will have absolutely succulent and tasty brown meat. To the point where adding any garnish or gravy is almost an insult.
A thermometer and using foil to protect the breast during cooking is really helpful! I’m a dark meat fan, generally, but some mindful cooking can produce juicy and tender white meat.
You’ve been eating incorrectly cooked turkey.
Exceptionalism.
The kind that says “I’m special, but you aren’t”
The kind that lets billionaires exist and fuck with national politics and laws. The kind that lets rich people or corporations off of crimes with little or no punishment. The kind that lets a religious person use their religion to be shitty in any way, as a shield or a cudgel. The kind that lets someone festoon their pickup with LED lights and a squat so you’re blinded at night when they’re coming at you or tailgating you.
All of them think they’re special and the rules don’t apply, they don’t care how it affects those around them - or others are to be exploited.
