the begats ain't so bad, it's only a couple short bits in the first book, as i recall, which is otherwise one of the best books that i read, with lots of relatively interesting short stories. the worst part in the early first books that i read in their entirety would have to be in exodus, where god spends ages going on and on to moses about the precise details of his dream tent. it feels like it goes on for a hundred pages, and then, a few chapters later, he does it all again.

braking and honking do not always apply to the same situations. both are necessary safety features that should absolutely not cost extra.

wow, i really didn't expect 'there should be less cars' to be such a divisive stance on c/fuckcars

I have knowledge. People who disagree with me have beliefs. /s

nah but for real its all the same, innit? it's just a matter of how well supported you think your thoughts/beliefs/knowledges are. if i was drawing that kind of a distinction in my head, wouldn't that mean that i'm thinking things are true that i simultaneously know are false? if i was gonna have 'knowledge' and 'beliefs' rattling in my head as separate things, that seems like me it'd smack of willful self-delusion.

one time, i saw somebody try to sneak by a big truck making a necessarily wide right turn, and get the whole left side of the car sheered off like a pad of butter.

we most certainly do not need both. if we did the latter successfully, we should be getting rid of most gas cars, and replacing only the remainder. having as many cars as we have now is bad for a multitude of reasons beyond that they're mostly burning gas.

because they prefer to dream of themselves as billionaires in potentia. it's hard to admit you've been duped, especially when society gives you so many targets to punch down on.

or, as futurama put it, link

gotta be either the tiny computer i'm typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it'd be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it's also fairly easily replaceable.

picking a favourite is hard, but In The Tall Grass (2019) is definitely up there, and i never see anyone talk about it. also, Malignant (2021). definitely try to go in blind for that one if you can.

i'm always surprised that most people rank the nun as the worst in the conjuring franchise. i think it's probably my favorite. conjuring 2 is phenomenal too. and they're definitely horror.

from the article it sounds like they aren't getting overtime pay, or any pay at all for the extra work days. instead they've been promised some extra paid days off in the future, but only after their current project ends, and only if they don't get laid off by that point.
