paying 3-5$ for a pot/bunch of fresh herbs at the grocery stores when all you need is a few sprigs.  cilantro and basil ill often use the whole thing, but most everything else requires just a tiny bit.

ive tried growing them at home to have a perpetual supply, but its never works out that well (thyme is decently easy to maintain). 

im sure i buy plenty of groceries that is more wasteful, but nothing feels as wasteful as having to buy herbs.

The “high” thread is that way ———>

Unsubscribing from email lists. Saying it will take anywhere from 2-10 days to take me off the list. Yet the second I sign up for one, I get bombarded. Fuck off.

Are you using @aol? If not, blacklist them. Replying will let them know your email is good, and they can sell it.

People who move to Austin, who are not Texans by birth, and write opinion letters about how we need more trains and bike lanes here in Gods country.

Oh. And Lance Strong wannabe aholes who bike down 2222.

[Guest Lobo]

I think you'll find a lot of light rail and bike lane proponents are born and raised right here in Austin, Texas.  And because of that, their sense of entitlement regarding their transportation opinions is even worse than that of an 'outsider.'

I am clean my phone screen and begin to watch a video and people keep texting me. Goddamn it, now not only do I have to interrupt whatever I am watching (porn, videos about photography, a movie, more porn), but I am going to get the screen full of fingerprints. Goddamn it. Stop fucking texting me, I don’t like you.

Given what you’re watching, you’re going to be re-cleaning your screen anyway.

Yep. I am very suspicious of the ones who want me to insert my email address again. Why should I need to? So you guys know it is active and sell it off to who knows else? I will just usually mark it as spam at that point and let Gmail do its thing.

Service dog my ear. That crap makes me very surly.  I sat next to one from Seattle to IAH. Damn thing crapped on takeoff and landing, and then took another massive dump in the airport concourse. The FAA or Congress really gotta get ahold of this, it’s madness.

I don't know the last time one of the lift and peal tabs has actually done it's intended job. Always end up having to reach for a stabber or cutter.

Why is dumbass Google Maps now often recommending a slower and longer route instead of the fastest?  Sometimes none of the 3 options are the fastest, with the most obvious one not even displayed?  I started noticing this about a month ago.

For example, currently recommending the longest (+16 miles) and slowest (+11 minutes) option that also includes tolls, vs all free on the most direct and fastest:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/31.1277429,-97.9412499/29.409542,-98.484118/@29.7340064,-98.5098584,102286m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0

 

And for the last several months in some searches it will do that to avoid Border Patrol checkpoints.  If you do El Paso to Albuquerque it gives you the straight shot up the freeway, but choose from certain streets in El Paso and it will recommend a winding backroad from Radium Springs to Rincon that avoids a checkpoint but adds 13 minutes to the trip.

Example:  

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/31.8704099,-106.5308154/35.083153,-106.636461/@32.4681165,-107.0840357,10.21z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0

Some woke Googlebrat minion sticking it to the man.  Still bitter about having to throw away his pineapple.

this annoys me, along with it showing extremely unlikely alternate routes instead of likely alternate routes. 

i also wish there was something between tolls are ok and no tolls.  i don't mind paying a couple bucks if i'm saving 15 minutes, but not for 1 or 2 minutes saved.

the emphasis on and fascination with mock drafts

mock drafts are basically fucking fan fiction-- who in the fuck CARES who MIGHT take which player when? like no shit Denver might take Justin Fields, or look here's a mock draft and instead San Francisco makes a trade and takes him! Or New England or New Orleans or who the fuck reads this shit?

You're on a message board.  Look at every post you make and every post others make.....it is all "fan" fiction.

True. Mocks were originally NOT about picking who was going to draft whom, but for a general ranking players in some degree of order by talent, with positional need factored in. Fake draft gurus, especially in the digital blog age in which there are virtually no qualifications necessary, decided to make it some kind of goofy contest. Now these goofy draft prediction contests have become mainstream in the national media, as the quality of sports coverage continues to plummet into depths of stupidity dredged deeper and deeper with each passing year. The stupidest ones are the ones in which they predict trades. Just quit it, y'all.

The declining draft media culture is the reason I have lost so much interest in what was once a true passion.
