Yup. Polyester feels way better on my skin than cotton, especially if I sweat at all. Also easier to maintain. I won't buy anything cotton these days.

I always do early voting. Usually no wait but unfortunately I picked a sunny weekend day to do it once, had to wait 15 minutes.

First one that someone bought for me: Riva TNT2

First one I bought myself: ATI Sapphire 9600 pro

Who cares if they release a new one every year? Just buy a new phone when you actually need one.

Imagine trying to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube but it's almost empty vs almost full.

Your gut is meant to keep things moving along... If it doesn't, it ain't good.

Instant Pot.

Apparently they went bankrupt because they built their units too well. Everyone bought one and never needed to buy a replacement.

X is just a vague term though. It's also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the "formerly Twitter" is going to stick for quite a while.

It's like naming a product "The Thing". Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.

Nope. If your other finger is still resting on the mouse, it fucks up and can't tell the difference between left and right click. It's a 50/50 gamble unless you lift your fingers off beforehand.

Yes, I did use the mouse before, and I was wondering why the fuck the thing kept right clicking when I left clicked and left clicking when I right clicked. Only after googling did it reveal that it misinterprets shit if both fingers are resting on the mouse.

What kind of fucking mouse requires googling to click?

You'll be perpetually behind the times. People tend to get set in their ways even by their 30s. You'll constantly lag behind the trends, language, and tastes of the younger generation...

If you were the first to be immortal, you may not have the best version of immortality and it may render you incompatible with better, future types of immortality. Like magical regeneration that prevents you from getting a personality upload to a cyberbrain that is a million times faster and smarter than the squishy biological brain.

Rich people want to get richer. Rich people can afford to bribe/wine and dine/trade favors with the select few who actually write the law.

That is all. Nobody enjoys paying taxes, but the rich are just the ones in a position to actually do something about it.

That really depends on the type of immortality you get. Brain upload to a cyborg body doesn't get cancer.
