I think in general there’s just a lot of people getting to the end of their rope at the moment. This isn’t just hatred directed at insurance companies (although that was certainly the catalyst to get it started), but I think it’s also a reflection of growing agitation towards the upper class

Idek how people can handle deep diving straight into max volume

Gotta finesse it a bit. Gradually go up, until you max it half way through a song you like and decide to restart it

He did this thing where he banned all comments from non-patrons. Gotta pay to comment now

Is CGP still doing that thing where you need to give him money for the privilege of leaving a comment?

Depending on your situation, a big fuck off size pair of noise cancelling headphones (or if budget doesn’t allow, just headphones that looks noise cancelling), and being as absorbed into your screen as possible usually works. When I eat lunch on my own, I sometimes even furiously type out a long winded rambling and incomprehensible email to myself to make it look like I’m super busy. The people who see eating by yourself as a bad or concerning thing usually don’t see treating lunch as a work catch-up hour as a bad thing

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with offering to sit with somebody who’s eating by themselves (although I myself do prefer to be left alone while I eat, too), but Jesus Christ fucking ask first it’s not hard. “Hey, mind if I sit here?”. See? Done. That’s all it takes. 6 words. Just expect that you might get a no, and that that’s okay. Also, don’t ask after you’ve already sat down, or while you’re half sitting already

And didn’t require so much gold. Unbalanced af and unrealistic tbh

I actually thought I had dyslexia for a while because of this, plus if I don’t read correctly (which for me requires memorising each word in a sentence, then interpreting it as a sentence, as opposed to reading each word and interpreting it by itself), I get the order of words mixed up

I actually find MS Word really clunky, laggy, buggy, and generally intuitive. LO I only find to be clunky

Jif is an oven cleaner here. Because I hate everyone, I started pronouncing it Gif. Makes a lot of people very very angry

Is US an abbreviation of an initialism (USA)?

Is pronouncing LED like an acronym common? I’ve never heard it, and it would take me a while to work out what they’re on about if they’re talking about “lead”

Likewise.

It’s also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like… A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

Did you post this twice?

Just out of spite, I reckon I’m gonna start archiving your page :D

If I may ask, how many subs/total views did you amass after a decade?

20 bucks is more than reasonable for a 10 dollar shirt imo. But where I am, often these shirts will go for the equivalent US$50 plus the same or more in shipping. I think that’s a scam. 20 bucks is nothing
