this looks like so much pain. Why do you do this to yourself?

The worst place I've seen racism is the YouTube comment section of police bodycam videos. I swear the >50% of the videos will be of white people but whenever it isn't the comments are filled with racist stuff.
Infact I went to a bodycam YouTube channel and clicked on the first one from an African American male and picked out some comments sorting by newest. Here are some examples:
"always the same breed" (11hr ago)
"Pew Pew. just saying."(13hr ago)
"Bet they got an OR bond cause of "racism" "(51 minutes ago)

This video is 2 months old.

And this comedy:
"Your Sargent don't want you arresting [censored n-word]

Because the crime stats shows how they ruin and destroy your country USA [fist emoji] [American flag emoji]

Government don't want Americans to realise how immigrants come to America [American flag emoji] to commit crime"

which... isn't even true, Immigrants have been about equal or even lower with the White US-Born population

Anyways, what I find the most disturbing about the YouTube comments is that it's so surface level compared to something like 4chan or other obscure forums. they're shouting their racism to everyone who will listen

that's the hardest ratio on this site I've SEEN. The only upvote from one hundred and six people was from yourself.

my schoolbus driver used to yell "IF YOU DON'T HUSH UP BACK THERE IM GONNA TYE YOUR TONGUE IN A KNOT"

She was terrifying, or atleast she was to elementary me. She did however bring a thing of paper so the whole bus could have a paper ball fight on the day before winter break and summer break. That was cool.

The thing is, if all his roles were stripped away and he was a nobody he would probably get fired.

My guess is that it's something like camelcamelcamel which shows the prices over time in a graph? Here's an example of a frog plushie https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B09RN4YCXG?context=search&cpf=new-used

I'm so jealous. No matter how hard I try I can't make anything even half as beautiful 🥹

haha that's epic, it's so weird how even in the modern age where everything is online there's still a big sepperation western/eastern stuff. Its interesting how it comes up so often in gaming specifically. Speedruns are the best example I can think of, the west learned the current fastest way to beat a boss in a Mario game from the introduction of eastern Speedrunning videos

related video of pokies workers 'confessing their sins' aka telling stories of the worst things they saw, very similar to the story in the post:

(btw pokies is an Australian slang word for gambling machine)

spam the phone keyboard prediction buttons 👍

Minecraft server that I can get in the US is a good idea what time you want to go to the game is that it is a good idea to get it from you a little bit of the time when you get to the game is the first time you can still get it from the store and I can get it from you a little bit of the time when I get home and I can get it from you a little bit of the time when I get to the game is the first time you can still get it from you and I can just wait for it in a bit more than I thought it would be a good 😊😊😊😊😊 ol' I was just thinking about you and I can just get it from the store and then I realized it is the ONLY way I don't have it was it just feels it would have been a little better with me

 

with supply and demand and all... IM DEMANDING CANNED BREAD!! where's the supply 🥺?

It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.

 

I don't dream. By that I mean like 2-4 a year, but when I do they are weird. The most I've ever had was when I had a repeating dream like 3 nights in a row. Last night was one of the nights when I did dream.

So me and my dad went to a car dealership and bought a motorcycle and a cybertruck. We like to buy used cars and drive them till death to save the 'new' tax. We also wouldn't buy a motorcycle so this started off extremely strange. Anyways, I started driving the cybertruck home (it was nighttime) and I guess fell asleep at the wheel because I woke up while driving.

I am 17 and have only been driving for ~1.5 years so driving is still very scary for me, falling asleep at the wheel was extra terrifying. Some more background, my first car (a green 2016 Kia soul 💚) has recently had the ABS and anti-slip thing warning lights turn on and off randomly, always together. My oil change is in like a week and the break fluid is probably low and nothing feels different so I was told to keep driving to school/work with it till I can get an oil change.

Back to the dream, while I was freaking out nearly crying because I fell asleep, the car somehow turned into me driving the motorcycle and going 15 over the limit at 75mph. The road I was on was going to turn into a city soon so I started slowing down, but my brakes didn't work (flashback to my IRL warning light). I started freaking out trying all sorts of stuff to slow down like wiggling back and forth on the road or pulling the emergency break (idk if motorcycles even HAVE e-brakes) but nothing was really working. I don't remember how but somehow I managed to get it down to 15mph and bailed off in some empty lot in the city.

At this point I realized it was a dream and I was like explaining it to my family the next day and laughing about it. THEN I ACTUALLY WOKE UP.

I fell asleep IN A DREAM... IN A DREAM!? It was actually so weird. There was more that smoothed it out where I wasn't just jumping from thing to thing but when I wake up my mind starts writing over the memory of the dream like a VHS tape, Is this what it's like for people who normally dream or am I just different?

 

Review on Amazon: A banana for scale should be to scale https://a.co/d/aAZPaX4

Alt text1 star review by user "Tall Guys Wife" on Amazon of a rubber banana that has the words [for scale] on it.
Picture attached shows rubber banana is smaller than real banana.

Review text reads: "purchased this 'banana for scale, but it's way smaller than an average banana. People on social media demand if you're showing something that you use an average banana for scale. I would never deceive anyone with this ridiculous substitute for an accurate measuring tool."

I am a library aid for my highschool, these books were once taken off the shelves and legally banned.

However due to many authors and publishers threatening to sue (and some actually following through), 36 of the 176 books banned have returned.

Hope it continues. And sorry if this breaks the politics rule even if it doesn't show a politician.
