ranking straw materials from best to worst, based off of the Overall Beverage Experience:
1. Glass (elite, perfect, the niceness overrides the annoyance of cleaning, it saves the turtles) 2. Plastic (yes the turtles but no sensory icks) 3. Pasta (have not tried but I’d imagine you’d have to drink your beverage quickly before the straw becomes al dente? but would hold up better than paper straws) 4. Aluminum (becomes too cold, feels like that scene in A Christmas Story) 5. Paper (much like pasta, gotta drink it before it becomes al dente) 6. Cookie (I remember when Starbucks had these and thought it would be perfect but you can’t suck too hard or else you’ll inhale cookie crumbs. breaks easily) 7. Bamboo (fuck this, drinking boba outta one of these was like drinking out of sandpaper, -10/10)
showed this post to my wife and she said to get one of those little silicon straw toppers for your aluminum straws

I thought it was cool and hip when my city banned plastic straws, but as soon as my lips touched a paper straw for the first time I immediately regretted ever supporting such a movement. They are so terrible. And the real thing that drives me crazy is having a big ass plastic cup with a plastic lid and a disgusting paper straw. The most consequential piece of the beverage consumption system with the smallest environmental impact is the one we decided to fuck up

I woke up at 730am because this asshole next to me is screaming at his fucking video game again. I just am starting to lose all patience with this situation.

While our experiences are different, it’s a very universal feeling to feel that no one is noticing you or taking you seriously or caring what you say. It makes you want to stop trying or stop giving a fuck about how you come across to other people. But it for sure makes you feel less than. I feel that way often, too. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I wish you the best and hope some good shit comes your way soon.
I tend to listen to podcasts and music while I’m working, so when I’m in the car I just stick to the radio. I’ll flip it between NPR, the local talk station that leans conservative, and the Fox News type station with like Glenn Beck, Michael Berry, Sean Hannity, etc. None of them are necessarily that interesting tbh but I treat it almost like people watching, like I’m trying to know what these types of people give a shit about.
Long story short, the Fox News type station is the literal definition of old men yelling at clouds. It’s non-stop anger and frustration over the dumbest and most insignificant things. Manufactured outrage. The sky is falling type histrionics. As much as I dislike the people who eat that shit up and get brainwashed by it, i almost feel sorry for them. Being that angry all the time must feel terrible.
I used to love fireworks, but now I find myself somewhat dreading the 4th and New Years because the constant pop pop pop stresses my dog out so bad that she shakes all night. And if this shit wakes up my baby, I’ll be fighting the urge to go yell at some kids

Also, much like weed, fireworks have gotten stronger. When I was a kid, we had sparklers and some puny-ass fountains. People in my in-laws’ neighborhood were launching shit last night that was rattling windows down the block.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

I rly think it depends on the video game.
I wouldn't be angry if he hadn't at 12:03am come to my door a few months ago and demanded I wear headphones till 8am. What's irritating is the hypocrisy. edit: and as I said, it was because I fell asleep in my chair an hour earlier and twitch just decided... LET ME PLAY AT 100%. And then instead of asking, he demanded it.
- He also has taken over the entire hallway with his tools and has a cutting board ON one of my paintings, never ever puts away his dishes, expects me to take out all of the trash/recycling, took over the entire living room during the time I would sleep out there (it gets incredibly hot in my room). It's just adding up.. being woken up at 4am and 7:30am two days in a row just broke me.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET HAVE TO BE JAW-DROPPING, STUNNING, INSANE, MIND-BLOWING, OUTRAGEOUS, EPIC, RIDICULOUS AND GAME-CHANGING when they could be nice?

Because keywords rule the market. When I did my own podcast with others we had to have a discussion on how we tag things. We all decided that doing that would suck any credibility out of our videos. But the algorithms HATE THAT. We have far less views for similar content. But I wasn't willing to get sucked into it. Also look at fb and twitter, they thrive on it for ad data. It's not a trend that's gonna walk back. We're the old fucks yelling at the cloud.
Has anyone here seen this Skibidi Toilet shit? Memes and humor for the next generation is gonna get so much more deranged than it already is. TF2 Gmod videos and Youtube Poop really were the Velvet Underground of the 21st century

visited my 6 year old nephew yesterday and he was showing me skibidi toilet and insisting that it's definitely not scary and he's not scared at all, not even a little bit.

I appreciate the sentiment. But I've also been put in a weird spot. People here, don't like me and think it's my fault for this or that. I'm not gonna put this in numbers but I feel like people are angry at me for saying I was the black friend. I also have to "prove" to this company that I can do a large job for way cheaper than even legally allowed (60hrs for 12 videos, which of course I wasn't told until after) to prove I know what I'm doing? My parents will always save me if they need to - but I'm almost 38, I can't feel secure asking them for help. My brother seriously doesn't want me involved in his life. It just always feels like it's my fault. I tried to make a life for myself, but I'm always tired (SSRI's), and no one accepts that - and also they are ALL on there you should just work more mode. I do 10hr and 12hr shifts. Not GOOD ENOUGH. So how am I supposed to feel good enough when they have totally different lives and and they don't see where I'm at. You explain it and their eyes roll, like it's your fucking fault for being a dumb theater/music dork.

The internet is so fucking frustrating sometimes, and it's hard to toe the line of having compassion and empathy and wanting people to also be any semblance of self reliant.
So many people are literally one major disaster away from just fuckin' dying.
McDonalds don't taste that bad. Tired of ppl saying ew when I say I want a qtr pounder meal.
There are good and bad McDonalds like any fast food place. The thing that sketches me out about McDs more than anything is how you can leave the food sitting out for weeks and it won't collect mold.

To extrapolate further, there was an article about a lady whose air conditioner in her luxury apt stopped working and the landlord wasn't going to get it fixed until four or five days later.
She said what was she going to do, just lay there and die and rot? The reporter said it was 79° in her apartment in the heat of the day, so part of me understands the responsibility to get it fixed is on the landlord, not the tenant, but also Jesus fuckin Christ, lady.
Go help yourself, go get a window unit, go stay with friends, go to a library during the heat of the day, go to a cooling shelter they have set up for the homeless.
There are always options, but sometimes people seem to only dwell on what's out of their control instead of doing what is in their power to help themselves. I'm certainly guilty of it myself sometimes, but it's so aggravating to see.
"..and I have thoughts" articles are the most annoying trends in opinion based journalism now. Idk just that phrase "and I have thoughts" is just fucking dumb.
