Yeeah, I watched the first little bit of it, and it's a rather disjointed collection as well.

Got a guy describing the working conditions in the usa. That seems on point, then a girl ranting about how her guests came over and ate half a fruit (left the other half of the plum uneaten) and drank only one sip of a water bottle, and how wasteful they were and how it got on her nerves. Then makes a show of finishing their "disgusting" half eaten plum and gross sipped on water bottle.

That's not a boring dystopia, it's a lady mad at wasteful guests. I suppose it could be tangentially related to a wasteful society contributing to the dystopia, but her example of guests in her home not finishing every bite of food and drink they were offered is just weird. Also, how are you going to go on a massive rant about wasteful guests while providing them single use water bottles.

Me too! My husband teases me about it. I take it and get sleepy. Zzzz

Well, I think the self driving taxis across the us apparently need human interaction every 6 minutes on average... So are they self driving? I don't know.

We can't use our phones and drive, but someone can have a screen and drive 6 cars at the same time...

If a person presenting as a man enters the womens bathroom and goes to the bathroom and washes their hands and leaves.. I would say nothing. Why the fuck do you care?

Hell, I have seen grown men enter the women's room with their daughters, maybe around 6-7 years old. Old enough that they want to use the big girl toilet, young enough that they need supervision.

You know what happened? Nothing. Nothing happened, because 99% of people don't actually care if you're not being a creep.

That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.

I bought Red Dead Redemption for myself and three friends, super excited about the game, the lore. I had never spent that much money on a game.

We all played through the single player tutorial, and finally into the open world. We meet up and begin exploring and trying to complete quests when suddenly one of us just ... drops dead.

Then another is hit by a meteor and caught on fire?

I am thrown up into the sky.

An alien ship?! Appears and messes with us for a while. I try begging in pub chat for the hacker to please leave us so we can play, which seems to goad them further. This continued for an hour.

A quick look around the internet told us that this was par for the course for RDR and GTA and Rockstar couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it.

We ended up refunding all the games through steam. Sad times.

That's the first thing I said when this was first posted, all those people who had the implants that enabled sight are left with no parts and no support since the company went under.

There should be laws in place stating these companies will provide support and parts for the entire life of the users. Anything less is criminal.

Honestly, the rules and laws on divorce are so wild across the country. I was married in California but my husband left after 6 months. I hadn't see him in 9 or 10 years, had no idea where he was.

Because I was in the state of Kentucky when I filed, I had to go to a church run "divorce education class" on how to save my marriage and complete a little workbook.

Completely insane class, I stayed in the back and tried to stay silent, but the teacher forced me to participate and asked some leading question about how I could communicate better with my spouse to prevent a divorce or some shit.

Told her I had no idea where my spouse was, that he had left after 6 months and that I had to hire a private investigator (and a police officer!) to serve my divorce papers. The whole thing was nuts.

What terrifies me about this is that there are no regulations or laws in place that say how long this tech that is implanted into people must be supported. Those poor people who got the bionic eye implants are now left with no replacement parts or support after the company went under, leaving those with implants that still work seeing with borrowed time.

The worst I have heard was when my husband's old boss was proudly bragging about how he didn't even leave work to be with his wife while she was giving birth to their first child.

He honestly believed that was something to be proud of.

We live in Australia too, so it's not like he had American orphan crushing machine to blame. He was just a horrible piece of shit.

The last sentence is a punch in the gut.

"The girl's father was in prison for a separate sex crime and has no involvement in his daughter's life, Tulsa Police told FOX23 News at the time of the incident."

Why YSK: It makes viewing images fast and easy, with no clicks.

I got used to this on the site that shall not be named, sometimes I don't want to open the whole image or post. With the addon if I hover over the image button that would expand the image, it will show the image full size for as long as I hover over it, no clicking needed, this works with gifs as well.
