  • People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty

    Jump

  • It's really hard to even decide what middle class is. I have a good job, good benefits, savings and retirement account, but if I lost my job we'd be homeless in 6 months.

  • Something that happened to you but no one believes you?

    Jump

  • I went to a party at a friend's house (I had never been to his house before, we were just friends from college) and a bunch of people are in his hot tub. It was dark out. I decided to get in, and assumed the deck his hot tub was sitting on continued on behind the hot tub. It did not, and there was a roughly 6 foot drop on the back side. I walk over to get in, step off the deck accidentally, do a complete front flip and land on my feet. They all yell "Are you ok?" and then I get back on the deck completely unscathed.

    No one that wasn't there ever believes this story.

  • How large would a pool have to be for you to swim in it if there is also a corpse in the pool?

    Jump

  • Lake Erie. I've swam in it plenty of times, and I'm sure there are corpses in there.

    Linux users, what are you doing on your laptop?

    Jump

  • Just using it like a normal laptop.

  • Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • When I was in my 20s I frequented a local bar a few times a week and always thought it'd be cool if the bartender would just know what my usual drink was. Turns out that was not a great idea.

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • Rss.

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

    Jump

  • If you have a traditional tire jack, it can't lift nearly that amount of weight.

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

    Jump

  • A bottle jack. Super cheap, but when you need to lift something super heavy, a bottle jack is the goat.

  • Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"

  • You're clearly not a human.

    Can you name me an underrated adult swim show?

    Jump

  • I will always cry during the end of Home Movies when Brandon drops his camera and it breaks.

  • How to improve your posture

    Jump

  • It's only because I've flown a ton in my life, and after the first few times it just becomes a hassle. Plus, I'm 6'4" and the seats are only getting smaller. I'm not afraid of any part of flying, I'm just grumpy about it.

  • How to improve your posture

    Jump

  • I personally hate flying.

    Why don't protestors who oppose Trump/ICE open carry their guns to prevent what's currently occuring in the US ie kidnapping, assaults etc?

    Jump

  • Teenagers that have toy guns are regularly shot and killed by police in America. The cops get away with murder. They'd need no justification if someone was actually carrying a real fire arm.

  • Google misled users about their privacy and now owes them $425m, says court

    Jump

  • Zuckerberg has two $200m yachts. Google execs could probably find $425m in their couch cushions.

  • What do you call these?

    Jump

  • When I was in college, we called these wall warts.

  • SHUT UP!

    Jump

  • It's honestly amazing that they haven't abandoned it like they did with Unity, Mir, and Ubuntu Touch.

  • I've got a road trip planned. It'll be about 2800 mi, 4500 km. I think I'm prepared but sure I'm overlooking things. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations; your holy grails!

    Jump

  • Get AAA. It's super cheap and can save your bacon if your car breaks down.

  • In shower today: "I bet my YouTube account is older than most of the people on YouTube." ...Yes, yes it is.

    Jump

  • I'm old enough to remember when YouTube was a separate account from your Google login.

  • My skill prevents bugs, unlike your fancy compiler, peasant.

    Jump

  • At my last job I worked in a code base written in C and it needed to be certified to MISRA level A, and even in a language with as many foot guns as C, it's possible to write safe code. You just need to know what you're doing. I know there are tons of Rust zealots out there claiming it'll solve every last problem, but it turns out you just need to be careful.
