Match group should be broken up.

You're doing more harm to the environment and shared spaces than the person riding the bus.

Misread the /s as is and was mildly confused.

Also yes, police have very poor or negative value for what they cost.

One of the reasons I like seeing smaller shows is sometimes you get more genuine interactions.

One time I saw Sincere Engineer and near the end someone in the audience shouted "play corn dog sonnet #7.

The singer was like "we played that one at the start "

The fan went, "I was late! I missed it!"

The singer asked the crowd, "Do you all want to hear it again?"

Everyone cheered, so they played it again.

I remember okcupid had a question (back when their system was based on answering questions) that asked "is it possible for a partner to be too ambitious?"

I was like "clearly some of you assholes never read Macbeth".

Also, the CEO of my old job was on the dating apps at the same time as me. Despite us being about the same age, I'm confident very few people would match with both of us. "Never worked, just grad school and CEO founder" seekers don't also seek me.

I can't imagine why I'd want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.

I listen to music at work.

So they say free speech but they mean "follow my standards of speech"

I was on some website the other day and I opened the browser console for unrelated reasons. They had a giant message there that was like "STOP. If someone asked you to paste something here, you are probably going to be hacked. Do not do anything here unless you know what you're doing."

Which, admittedly, is probably good advice.

I'm about 95% certain this is a joke but Poe's law is dead. In addition to the name being on the nose, the footer has

I never thought this would need saying, but the point of writing essays in school is not the final product.

Surely people don't really think that? I say that, and then I think about some of the colossally stupid things I've heard people say and say about education.

Yes.

Primarily, too much fear response. Fear makes you stupid.

Secondarily, too much in-group loyalty. They'll do and believe anything if that's what the group believes.
