Automatic messaging devices on phone call systems.  The ones that start up when your answeing machine message starts, ignoring the "wait for the beep" request.  And of course, these morons show up as "unavailable" or blank on caller ID.  If I don't know who's calling, and you can't show some common courtesy to identify yourself, get stuffed!

Hey, Colorado escort girl.  If you're gonna spell the country wrong, at least go with the 1994 Black Crowes album.  Everything Boebert doesn't like is A CONSPIRACY to her.  Pity that album can't be shown on most forums.  Thanks for nothing, DINO Tipper Gore.

The number of people in the media, and elsewhere, who have come to the realization that the president alone doesn't control every aspect of the economy by him or herself.  Don't get me wrong.  I am glad people are reaching that somewhat obvious conclusion.  But if you didn't offer measured observations in 2008 or 2020, some might question what's changed for you.

My cat is soooo lazy. He`s been asleep next to me all day whilst I have been busy lying on the sofa, eating and watching sport.

More like the past couple of weeks but my local Planet Fitness gym STILL hasn't fixed their wifi.  Yeah, I have unlimited data on Verizon but this is getting ridiculous.

The fact that autocorrect is still so absurdly bad at what it is supposed to do

Imagine using Rotten Tomatoes blindly as your argument saying In the Mouth of Madness and Prince of Darkness are bad just because critics say so.  I bet he licks the boots of Marvel with his “If it’s not popular, then it sucks” bad take.  He even likes Crystal Skull which audiences rightly hated and got a fresh score.

 

He contradicts is by calling some Hitchcock movies overrated ffs.

To be fair,  there are some Hitchcock films that feel like he phoned it in.

Crime:  It's Not Just For The Riff Raff Anymore, Hamid

 

  

 

Prologis CEO Hamid Moghadam feels no one is safe in the company’s hometown of San Francisco after he was robbed at gunpoint by several men.

The June 26 incident, until now not publicly reported, highlights rising concerns over crime and other challenges facing the Bay Area and adds to worries more residents and companies will opt to leave the region.

 

“They were using a bunch of choice words. Mostly starting with ‘m’ and ‘f.’ They were attacking me,” said Moghadam, who recalls the entire incident occurring in less than 30 seconds. “It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to get scared.” 

 

“I fell back as they lunged the gun towards me,” Moghadam said. “I can tell you my wife is really affected by this and she has nightmares. It’s really gotten to her.”

An article in today's Sun-Sentinel, interviewing the wife of a man who died recenrly as a result of injuries he sustained in an accident 6 years ago while riding a motorcycle.  The article states he was initially placd in  medically induced coma, was brought out of it, and treated.  The wife then continued rehabilitation of him at home.  As time went on she could not continue, and placed him in a rehab clinic, where he recently died.

 

Hard story, a life taking care of this guy, etc.  It's at that point comes the particulars.  The guy on the motorcycle was injured when he collided with another vehicle on a public thoroughfare. Motorcycle was traveling at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone at time of impact.  No information as to what speed, if any, the other vehicle was traveling.  Sorry, but at that point, I stopped reading.  Went from sympathetic and concerned to no fuqs given, just that quick.  Am I becoming increasingly uncaring as  grow older. Or less tolerant of what appears to be an Irresponsible Richard?

It is impossible and even foolish to try to care about every sad story we see in the news.  

 

It is perfectly acceptable to not care about some nincompoop who gets himself killed via negligence or stupidity.

Yeah, not every death is a tragic one.

Hanging with the boys, I start talking about the family I have in the Idaho Panhandle.   Our recent California transplant friend pipes in and says "We always called that area the Chimney".

Sometimes these are like the Darwin awards, still sad but also makes you wonder what were they thinking.  Another example is Anne Heche, sad she died but she was driving like a bat out of hell.

Wouldn't chimney be more appropriate? Chimneys are vertical while panhandles are horizontal. 

 

I've never heard it described as either. Come to think of it, I don't know why I'm even commenting on the issue.

As you say, sad that she died, but it's fortunate the only life lost was her own.
