I love this kind of thing and appreciate the humor. I don’t think it’s something that would come to me easily if I were to create one on my own, however.

But thank you for the illustration, it is helpful and made me smile :)

Thanks for asking this, OP. I’ve been wondering this same thing for awhile with no real results when I search.

Someone took their Nintendo games a little too seriously.

I love that Siri is kinda stupid for just this very reason.

Lucky you then that Amazon now has their own pharmacy!

The other things were like a large purse/tote bag and a rug, so yeah it was kinda random (so it seems) but apparently the evidence is pretty solid in that case.

Doesn’t make it any less weird though.

This is fucking bullshit.

I review science proposals for the government that come from private companies responding to an announcement about grants for specific kinds of technology.

I have to submit a financial form every year disclosing stock that I own to make sure there are no conflicts of interest.

The fact that is guy is allowed to shrug and say “nah” and just keep going blows my mind.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but airports. And their bars. I have had so many interesting conversations with random strangers at airport bars.

And I mean genuine, honest, conversations. I had a layover in Vegas the day after a guy killed like 60 people at that concert. I had been in the Vegas airport many times before and it’s always so loud with the slot machines and people are excited and happy…there’s a lot going on.

That day, it was absolutely silent except for people crying and quietly chatting. It hit like a ton of bricks…the contrast. But everyone wanted to talk about it and tell their story - what they saw, how they escaped, etc. And granted, this isn’t a typical story and it’s tragic as fuck, but everyone has a story and I find that fascinating.

I fucking hate that so much.

“People think a thing is cool, so the person who owns the thing is cool and should get a monetary value based on a lot of people’s opinions”

And everyone is lIke “Yes this system is great! Let’s do this with more people”.

And then one day nobody thought the thing was cool anymore for…reasons (Tesla) and so that person loses money relatively proportional to how many cool points they lose in the minds of a bunch of other people.

But that’s a travesty and this person’s coolness now affects a lot of other people’s coolness to the point that it could severely fuck up the economy if enough people stopped thinking they were cool. So we have to keep telling this person we still think they’re cool so that shit doesn’t get really bad until we have a better plan in place to deal with it.

And then we’re like fuck…that was stupid…we shouldn’t do that again. And everyone agrees.

Meanwhile we’re still doing it with countless other people and things and we’ll act just as shocked pikachu face the next 30 times it happens.

It’s so fucked up and dumb.
