What bubble does the author live in where this is considered standout journalism? Like, congratulations on discovering the internet. What rock have they been living in since 1995?

Kinda hate how much car-centric infrastructure has ruined the act of driving around in my city
I know it sounds hypocritical but hear me out. My city's suburban streets were mostly built in the 1900s and 1910s, before cars were ubiquitous and before streets were built to accommodate them. So like 90% of the streets in the immediate suburbs (I'm talking 1 - 5 minutes from downtown) are either way too skinny to drive on or they don't have driveways. In a select few streets it's even both. And so you end up with streets that are littered with parked cars, and a lot of streets are two lane but end up functioning like one-ways. There have been moments where I drive on these streets because GPS told me to, and then I question my sanity because it really feels like a 1-way and yet there's signs facing me. I mention this because I'm a pizza delivery driver and so I have to navigate these streets at least a few times a day, usually dozens of times if we're offering coupons in those areas. And every time it becomes far more of a hassle than it has to be just because of how there are so many cars and so many people driving on them. I hate how we've built this city that had a downtown where people would walk to and shop around in, but now everybody drives to the superstores on the outskirts and uses the freeway to go to work. It's like we've ruined the act of driving simply by forcing everybody to drive more.
I actually lived in Japan for a period, and while I wasn't old enough to drive there, I noticed that people seemed to have a far better time driving on their ultra-narrow suburban streets, and I'm willing to hedge a bet that's because not everything there was car-focused. Obviously once you got out into the rural regions more people drove, but in Tokyo especially people seemed to walk or take the train most of the time.
I wonder if maybe in an alternate universe where we didn't place superstores and supermarkets and home depots a 1-hours walk away from the old suburbs, and where we didn't develop this culture that everybody needed a car, would it be a much less irritating and frustrating experience driving around? Hell in that universe I might even be able to get my store's drive times down a couple minutes.
I've found it to be really frustrating to have a "true" conversation on discord. "2 people typing..." before you even have a chance to write somethubfb
A season-best crowd of 27,759 was the largest for an Aâs game on a Tuesday since they drew 33,654 against the Los Angeles Dodgers in August 2018.
Wow that's just crazy. That's roughly equivalent to Seattle's or Philadelphia's averages from 2022., which were the 15th in the MLB.
2 in the morning. I wasn't able to actually celebrate my time of birth until summer vacation as a teenager because my parents let me stay up that late lol
yeah therapy and psychiatry end up being what you make of it in the end. If you don't find it helpful that doesn't necessarily make it bad as a generalization, it's just that it didn't work for you.
I feel bad for whoever made this comic. Clearly they haven't been having a good time with therapy. I've been going for a few months now and I've gained a lot of insight into myself. Each to their own, though.
I'd much prefer a sequel, but a reboot to L.A. Noire would be just as welcome. Not only would the graphics be top-notch considering what we've seen lately with the Mafia remake set around the same time period, but I feel like Rockstar would be able to learn from some of the more glaring mistakes and improve heavily.
Notably, the whole interrogation mechanic has some glaring flaws with what the interrogation options are called, and in how it chooses to tell you whether you got an answer right.
Return of the Obra Dinn was such a crazy experience. I remember my first playthrough I got super stumped and resorted to walkthrough'ing my way through. But when I replayed it I promised myself not to use the walkthrough and ended up getting it almost completely perfect, although it did take ages to do.
I'm a part time delivery person and bing maps is honestly really good, it's just a shame there's no mobile app because I'd probably switch to it in a heartbeat. As you said, google maps is really good but it fudges specifics a lot and gives you incorrect directions for certain addresses.
Its so funny calling him just "florida man." If you ignore the fact that he was president, you can construe it as another one of those "gosh darn dumbass florida men" stories lol

Oh I totally forgot about Bing chat being a thing. I might have to check that out when I get the chance.
âI am not apologizing for that question that I asked. I think personally I have a right to ask questions, and I always will for rest of my life,â he said.
He may be right, but what he doesn't understand is that everybody else has a right to get pissed off at him for it. Just because one person has a "right" to do something, doesn't mean they're exempt from criticism.

The FAA banned smoking on all domestic flights in 1990, but that did not stop some entrepreneurs. Twice in 1993 and in 2006, wealthy smoking enthusiasts tried to establish airlines to circumvent the rules using legal loopholes. Both of them, "Smokers Airways" & "SmintAir" (Smokers International Airlines) failed to raise enough capital to purchase an airplane and investors abandoned both projects.
The first man-made structure to surpass the height of the Pyramids of Giza was the Eiffel Tower, which was finished in 1889. For well over 3000 years they were the tallest structure that anybody had ever seen.
