Eh that seems like a major stretch. NJ used above was prefaced with “somewhat niche US info”

I even replaced what the guy said which was Chris Christie with NJ gov because I hardly expected anyone abroad to know him

I feel like if we’re going to start thinking that someone’s putting the ass in assumption just because they used something others might not understand then we’re in trouble

You’d have to kill off any slang or expressions for fear that people might not understand them

As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.

I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.

I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.

Paris green (what I’m assuming the book covers in the meme is made of) is one of my wife’s favorite topics to info dump on someone. I brought her to the sign museum in Cincinnati and she had like an hour long convo with the dude who worked there on just that.

Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”

I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux

Billion user platform that’s popular with young people has young people interested in easy to get drugs. Won’t someone think of the children

Getting strong “MTV made my child addicted to the devils lettuce” vibes from these comments

to keep people talking about

Honest question but do they really keep people talking about climate change?

I feel like this is the tenth stunt that I’ve read about then came into the comments and it’s just the same talk about exposure vs art vandalism.

I generally just leave these posts more exhausted and don’t give a shit about exposure or vandalism in the end. With climate change being something the furthest from my exhausted mind.

I miss IBC I think they went bust or some shit so you can’t find them anymore.

$55 for 4.

Tempting but I hate having dishes I care about because then I have to worry about breaking them or the dishwasher eating them

There’s a behind the bastards two parter on this topic

I think people fail to realize the cost difference in sports cars and yachts.

I spent a fair bit on a Porsche but wouldn’t dream of owning some of the monster boats my neighbors haul and those aren’t even yachts.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.

What I learned trying to turn gamers into board gamers is that most people don’t want to read so we end up making our own bullshit rules.

I found a different group to play board games with irl but then they suck at online games funny enough.

Yeah who else is going to pay for 1GB speeds knowing the most they’ll ever get is 400MB

It’s weird that palworld only accepts google play cards

Oh nice I was wondering if there was like an all in one place to put my shitty automations. I’ve been oddly fixated on automating my blinds.

Sadly it’s pretty easy to get an invite. I got one from a few friends and they told me they just sat in a weird discord asking for invites.

That’s just new competitive games in general though. The best time to play a pvp game is the first month when there isn’t a clear meta yet and everyone’s having a good time.

I don’t think my adhd ever came out as restlessness.

I always tried really hard to keep track of what was going on but the dumbest thing would cause me to zone out . When I was done zoning out I was so lost that I would just give up and continue daydreaming.

You can buy like $50 kits or go on Craigslist and look for someone selling their impulse bought gear.

Add in a license fee and even then it’s not too bad for time killing hobby.

I think when I first got into it I was put off thinking I’d need like the finest $3k in orvis gear and I’d need to buy $10 flies at my local shops.

Like there’s a weird bougie-classist feeling I think a lot of people have which turns them off of trying to get into the sport.
