  • As a kid I was once driving back with my dad from a specialty lumber yard trip, where hed gone to pick up a ~1.5 ton, 40’ teak beam, with about 10’ hanging off the back, down low. Wed just gotten south of the city, and trafic was finally easing up, when he finally saw chance to get out of the middle lane, and went to take it.

    So he threw on his right turn signal, and the guy in that lane immediately started accelerating to close the gap.
    My dad just went for the switch anyway, Forcing the guy to drive off the road into the grass median ditch of lose his windshield to a massive piece of wood.

    All he said was “a turn signal is a signal of intent, not a request for permission.” And we kept driving.







  • My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.

    Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.




  • On of my friends gfs did that back in the day.

    The crew was going to a local punk concert, and she was generally a bit more straight laced.

    So we were all a bit surprised when she showed up in a red wig, and leather, and said her name was Jackie. We were joking about her maybe thinking we all had 'punk names… that we just all used all the time because we were always dressed a bit punk.

    We all go back to the house most of them relived at to crash, and wake up in the morning to them fighting, and her accusing him of sleeping with Jackie. And him being like ‘I thought it was just a bit of role play!’

    He goes into the bathroom, and she comes out to the kitchen and wete all just like, really, we all knew it was you the whole time… also your tattoo was showing…






  • Generally, when looking at a vertical representation of horizontal space, we think of the top as further away from the viewer, and the bottom as closest (think the graphics on your stove letting you know which know goes to which burner… the back burners are the top ones, and the fronts are the bottom.

    The only reason to have the faucet appear as closer and ypur hands as farther away is to intentionally make it loom dirty…

    …Unless this graphic is telling you to stand on the far side of the basin and wash someone else’s hands for them.
