    How much of that is also survivorship bias. Why is it that if appliances were better back then people ended up buying new ones? Most people tend to only buy new appliances and furniture if the old one breaks regardless if there’s a new model. At least that has been my experience with the vast majority of people I’ve known at more than an acquaintance level. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be able to afford new stuff just cause.










  • Just look at it as wear and tear. Doesn’t matter how miniscule it may be it’s still eating up your storage and battery life in addition to battery charge. Sure you could charge at work too for battery charge but as miniscule as it is it’s still killing your battery life.

    Also, don’t give corporations any leeway because they WILL take advantage of the employee given the chance. For every single rule and regulation that helps the employee someone had to spill blood to achieve it.


  • I’m with you brother. I actually enjoy my job and my bosses are decent, they never micromanage or get in my way. Ill still take ‘sick’ mental health days off every 2 months or so just so they’re reminded how much of a pain in the ass it is without me here. I also take all my vacation time but it’s usually in one go for extended vacations. Gotta make sure they’re reminded every couple months though.






  • Implant technology has come so far that you wouldn’t recognize actual normal sized implants in people. It’s only the huge huge ones that stretch the skin to the limiit that you could point out. Even the material they use now feels very similar to actual breasts and have a similar shape than what they did a decade ago.

    I’ve met a couple people who have modern ones and it’s crazy how good they are now a days.



  • Yea that’s I’ve seen a few with the classic low quality of cctv and it’s gnarly. Saw someone get splated under the rear of a forklift. She was being counter weight cause they were lifting too heavy of a load and the other person that was also a counter weight got off causing the forklift to start slanting, she tried holding on, got lifted and then fell and slid under the forklift as it came back down after dropping the load. Not pretty.
