This post made me think it would be good if there was a community where people could post about “stuff to do”, eg join a local amateur soccer team, here is how leagues work, here is how you find a club to play for, can anyone play, are there min/max ages on teams, are teams split by gender, what is the social scene like, etc etc. Kind of like an AMA but focussed on things people can do if they need an activity/hobby/sport/place-to-meet-new-friends. There’s probably heaps of scenes I don’t even know about, or don’t know how to get involved in.

I prefer to think of it as likening his opinions to cold sores.

Mysteriously still dry loose washing powder stuck all over clothes coming out of the washer.

TV anywhere you have to wait (eg at doctor’s office) always tuned to right wing “news”.

Dishwasher starts randomly when not full yet, and gets stuck in some mode where it wont start when you need to start it. The buttons are inscrutable.

Coffee is always burnt.

No socks in the washing you just brought in off the line pair up with any other sock.

Windows is the only OS and it always forces an update at the worst possible time.

TV operating system is slow and laggy.

New toys never come with batteries, and you are always out.

You are always a few episodes before the end of the series before your streaming service drops the show from its catalogue.

Your soap always has a pubic hair on it when you get in the shower, even though you took it off last time.

Mobile phone screen protectors always have a bubble with a grain of sand in it.

Bike tire is always slowly leaking, but there is no discernable puncture.

Mobile phone volume controls are always next to the power button so whenever you want to adjust the volume, you lock the screen instead.

Kitchen sink drains slowly.

Petrol tank in the lawn mower and your petrol can are always empty when you need to cut the grass, so you have to go buy more before you can mow the lawn.

Whipper snipper line keeps breaking within 10s of starting, due to your awful couch grass.

Doorbell battery is always flat.

Driveway camera alerts always come through just as the delivery person is driving away with the package you needed to sign for.

Clothing on sale is always too small or too big.

Any clothes that fit when you buy them shrink in the wash.

Smoke alarm low battery chirps always start in the middle of the night, and you don’t have any replacement batteries. Also, they are randomly between 5 and 10 minutes apart so it takes a long time to find which one has the low battery.

Your bread loaf is always mouldy before your weekly grocery shop.

When you want to eat them, bananas and avocados are always unripe, or all brown inside.

Apples have a 50% chance to be floury inside but you can’t tell until you bite.

The person next to you on the train always has a cold.

Bus timetables don’t line up with train timetables.

Red light cycles are timed so you get the red on each intersection unless you exceed the speed limit.

The sun is always low in the sky and in your eyes (directly or in the mirror), while driving to and from work.

Supermarket workers always give you the product that expires earliest when you order groceries for pickup.

Too late. They’ve already proven even men without guns can simply ignore all the rules. Your democracy and government is going to have to be rebuilt from scratch now anyway.

Wouldn’t completely destroying the economy make their billions near worthless as well?

What was the previous attempt? I’m falling behind in this gish gallop.

Doesn’t this still require specific existing laws (as in actual statutes) to charge someone with violating? Or can they just charge and convict on arbitrary things they don’t like, now?

That’s great. Another consequence of these dumb tariffs: extra shipping and the associated greenhouse emissions.

Sssh, you don’t want him making changes to the army. The army might be your last line of defence against this maniac.

What does neutral oil mean? Just any vegetable oil like olive oil or canola oil etc?

Blowing it up will certainly be an epic symbol of the end of his despotic reign one day, like the footage of statues of dictators being pulled down.

Yes, apply 100% tariffs on all American goods sold in America, until they accept them!

I miss the good old days of kuro5hin.

The website or the constitution?

At least McBride can now use the women’s restrooms in the Capitol. And so must all the other politicians!

Sorry, I would have linked their own website but the original page is now gone. Their headline in 2020 was ‘“Social media should not fact check posts” says child molester Mark Zuckerberg’. The post made more sense being on Facebook, though.

The Chaser did this joke better in 2020

Yeah I use Boost and have the same problem. When I posted my first solution here a couple of days ago I checked that the spoiler worked from the website and it did, so I used the tag the same way here. Your spoiler tag did not work for me on Boost, but both yours and mine work from the website.

I figured as much. Just wanted to show another option.
