The mathematics I have to go through at fuel stations that require payment in advance for a specific amount of gallons when I just want to top it off, ugh.
Each tenth of my tank is 2.4 gallons, so if I’m at 4/10 and want to top off, (10-4)=6, so 6 x 2.4 = 14.4 gallons x price of fuel per gallon which is hovering around $6.90 lately (diesel in California), so I tell the cashier person I 'd like to purchase exactly $99.36 but gosh that’s so close to $100 let’s just round it to $100.
My conspiracy theory regarding the enshittification of autocorrect is that they’re trying to make us all look & feel stupider until we finally accept it & incrementally lower our intellectual standards.
Hobbies & natural talents are enjoyable until one’s livelihood begins to depend on it. Then it becomes stressful & a chore.
Subscription car washes are all over Arizona though.
So they wrote this absurd article just for the thrill of getting everyone upset?
“trough”? That’s a new one to add to this thing:
English is a tough language. It can be mastered through thorough thought though, while you sit next to a trough.
Same! I’m Gen-X and promised myself at age 4 when I witnessed my dad was always stumbling into the house drunk & ill & scary, I have no desire to put any poison into my body. Still never have and never will.
Then you write"DIAD" instead of lol

No fair. This technique is for those of us who need to escape torturous misery. You’re just hoarding happiness at this point!
Reminds me of stupid me after I received a ginormous family inheritance I went through a phase of buying every stupid little thing that I would’ve never bought before. It was sometime around the implosion of the John McAfee empire debacle I was vaguely aware that something was going awry with him & the company but I was lost in my own little world buying post-it notes at a Staples store.
At the checkout counter the employee brought my attention to a small display of heavily discounted McAfee antivirus software something-something for only $5 and all my conscious brain knew at the time was
“Wow, didn’t that used to cost $40-$75? and McAfee has been in the news lately. I have no idea what’s going on but yes I will pay $5 for this thing.” 🤦🏼♀️
It was completely useless and I doubt I ever took it out of the package before eventually throwing it away.
Do you want to like revolting? Or did you omit some punctuation?
Can we, like, revolt already?
First you must master the art of lucid dreaming. Come back and let me know when you’ve mastered that. Then I’ll tell you the next step.
Coping mechanisms are becoming increasingly elaborate with the advancement of time.
And change your gait to the Ministry of Silly Walks so they can’t identify you by your real gait.
I first used it as a place to sell my used college textbooks.
Suggested serving sizes have never been realistic. Manipulated by the manufacturer to make us think the food is lower in calories than it actually is.
In reality we all serve ourselves a fifth of a jar. List THOSE calories on the label please.
It is on topic because OOP wrote “prostrate.” Saddam Hussein is indeed laying prostrate.
In my wanderings around the USA I’ve only encountered one pump that allowed pump before pay. At some obscure Nevada gas station in a little pass-through town in the middle of nowhere.
