    I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm. I feel very alone in this outrage. People are flying around in private fucking jets, and you want us all to take one for the team and suffer a shitty dribble of a shower every day. A generous hot shower is one of the few things that makes our lives far better than our great great grandparents. Taking out the flow restrictor is like having sex without a condom. A whole generation of suckers won’t even know what they’re missing.

    I hate ordering a beer in a restaurant and it comes in a shaker pint (conical pint), which is usually a 13 oz pour. How can we have a government who verifies the measurement of fuel pumps, but not beer, when beer costs like 15x more than fuel. Fill lines are a simple, cheap, and good solution.

    I hate metering lights. For those who don’t know they’re stoplights on the on-ramp to an interstate highway. Waste of fuel, don’t help with traffic.

    I really hate advertisements. It seems the more I block them, the more offensive they are when one gets through.

        I just measured my showers. I was thinking it would be over 3 gpm but my downstairs is 2.6, and upstairs is 2.25. Pretty modest actually. My guess is that they’re designed for the national standard of 2.5 gpm without a restrictor. It just makes me so mad to squeeze simple pleasures from the poor through regulation. People are miserable enough for fucks sake, if they can afford a $0.50 shower let them enjoy 10 minutes of the day.

      Bruh YouTube ads feel like I was called every slur ever made and pissed on by Hitler when my premium expired. Before then, an ad was just another ad.

        YouTube ads start playing on mobile YouTube and I recoil in disgust, “like fucking hell you do!”, and swiftly retreat to ReVanced

        YouTube is pretty bad. If I’m watching a video at 1.5x, it remembers this setting for the next video, so the same courtesy should apply to the ads. Avoidable in a web browser for now, eventually I’ll just have to youtube-dl anything I want to watch.

      never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)
