The Mariners putting in Bazardo in that spot was the right call to anyone without the luxury of hindsight. He has repeatedly succeeded in that situation this postseason, and there's a big difference between asking Muñoz to get 6 outs and 8 outs. He made one bad pitch, and the M's luck ran out.

Normalize immediately ending transactions and walking away when offered an intrusive upsell.

Everybody talks and listens wrong, and no one knows what anyone means anymore.

The flaws of Boomers always come down to the same thing. They are a generation that blames young people for living in the world they created. They want all the credit and no accountability.

I've discovered a new pet peeve that I swear wasn't happening before. Someone says something like, "I forgot my keys, so can you [unintelligible]?" So I ask, "sorry, I didn't catch that." They then reply, "My keys," and look at me expectantly.

You have a choice. Stop supporting antifascism or go to jail.

I think it is an essential family experience for 2 parents who can't spell to give an impromptu spelling test to their kid who can.

I love the sentiment that political violence has no place in a country founded by violent revolution.

"People only like socialism because they want free stuff," say the people doing everything they can to reduce the cost of labor.

Saying "the woke mob is obsessed with race. They're the real racists!" Is like saying, "doctors are always talking about disease. They're the real..." ah fuck...

My socials be like...

I didn't realize this was necessary, but PSA: 30 minutes is notba long walk.

Why is this question SO frustrating?

We have a poverty line. I propose the creation of a wealth line, a personal networth which creates little measurable improvement to someone's life and significant damage to the national wellbeing by increasing it. Make it pointless to reach a certain level of rich to disincentivize endless growth.

That feeling when you tell your partner about the video where Verizon kept misquoting $.002 as .002 cents and then end up doing a home math lesson...

Hey, just a little controversial throwback here. This is the exact kind of voluntary incompetence that "bean dad" was trying to keep his daughter from falling into, and everyone got mad at him because "she will be able just use Google for help in real life."

Life is showing up equipped to cross the Sahara and being told that the only thing that counts as success is reaching the north pole.

Ever seen a brand new ladybug?

Could we please stop reinventing the wheel for every app? I would love it if we could just agree on how copy/paste works across all platforms.

It's actually kind of rude that Tom Sturridge looks like Goth Zoolander in The Sandman. It's not *supposed* to be silly...

I feel un-American in that I lack the ability to be functional and miserable at the same time.

PSA: if you're ever opening a can and the aluminum frays a little bit, don't try to pull off the little "thread" with your fingers.

I love how we invented a solution to people with ADHD leaving water boiling over 100 years ago, but now we're making a bunch of new kettles that don't whistle...

"Whether you believe you can do it or you can't do it, you're right." What if I have full intellectual confidence that I can do it, but I also 100% believe that I will fail? Both of these things feel true at once. "What's wrong with you?" I don't know...

The paradox of intolerance is fake and anyone who takes it seriously is a bigot or an idiot.

I keep seeing posts about a war, but it's not apparent what people are talking about because it's not wven trending. Fuck this world I was born into. It's a stupid place and I wish I could just fucking quit.

I think the most frustrating thing about not being outwardly social is that people fill your silence with their own insecurities and then blame you for making them feel bad.

Half a shower thought: If one of the East India companies decided that the next step toward power was to found their own nation, one built to cater to the interests of capital, would said nation look different from the US today?

The most frustrating thing about #bowls is that, as you improve, so does your competition. At the moment, I know I'm playing better than I have before (overall), but I'm winning less. I feel like "losing well" is a particular feature of the sport.

When does a statement become "true" enough that it requires no citation? We don't cite Newton every time we reference gravity, so where's the line?

A problem with not being very expressive is that people tend to take your lack of speaking and project their own reasons onto it. This wouldn't be so bad if the reasons weren't almost always negative.

If you convince someone with ADHD that they would remember something if it was important, eventually, they will believe that nothing they care about is important.

I feel like there were a series of well received shows about anti-heroes, and that has morphed into a series of new shows about people who objectively suck that still present like we're supposed to like them.

Computers have their usefulness, but I just tried to open an attechment in the Outlook app that linked me to the Outlook webpage, didn't open the attachment, and asked if I wanted to download the app, so I think we do need to destroy them all.

Think of one thing you'd usually buy, or throw away when it breaks, and learn to make/fix it.

Tough love "works" because your PTSD symptoms are more socially acceptable than your happiest self.

I firmly believe that there is a major mental aspect to pain management (to a point). Unfortunately, I believe that because I can remember that I injured something and cause it to hurt, but I can't figure out the reverse.

Translated to conservative from reality: Government decides that [guns] should only be available to [people in active danger] and having one for preventative protection will no longer be allowed.

Every company has its own app, which is great. It makes it much more convenient to interact with their non-functional systems.

It's really hard to help someone you care about come to terms with their actions when you're the one who was hurt by them. It feels like the only things you can say are "f* you" or "it's ok to keep hurting me if that makes you feel better" with very little middle ground.

A social coding lesson for those unaware: "I'm choosing to believe you," means, "I do not remotely believe you, but I don't have enough proof to call you out. However, I'm also tired of being lied to, so I'm going to stop pressing the issue for the moment."

God forbid I should go to any website out of curiosity. Now I get nothing but ads for a brand of watches I decided I couldn't afford.

Every morning after a certain age: Oh, I guess I fucked up my [random body part that hurts for no reaon].

Having ADHD is like being Sherlock Holmes, except you're also Moriarty.

It is a frustrating problem for the left that when highly informed people attempt to appeal to emotion they come off as incredibly pretentious. We really need to work on our ability to communicate in a way that doesn't come off like we're desperate to prove that we're smart.

I think I need to leave civilization. We've fucked it up too bad, and I don't want it anymore.

Stop making me put new shit on my phone.

I'm sorry, but there is no functional version of the world where we can automate human communication. If you send someone an email that they need to respond to, you need to notify them and/or follow up. Email inboxes are a cacophony of BS, and they can't hear you.
