I appreciate the irony in censoring the person's name with yellow

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Peed all over them

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

I like the fact that they used yellow to censor the username

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago

The best part is whoever took the pic and censored the user did so with yellow.

I'm going to wager that a lot of people exercise their democratic vote exactly like this.

that's why Trump beat Hilary. Six letters to 5. Biden beat Trump because although they have both 5 letters, Biden is lexicographically earlier in the alphabet.

Republicans should run someone called "Bell" to beat Biden.

Bo, Abe, and Bum.

I'm calling our next three presidents!

Maybe people with trypophobia don't like voting at all because they're terrified of those irregular bubble patterns on voting ballots.

The other day I saw a 4 star review that said "I never rate 5 stars" and then had a bunch of positive things to say. Looked at their other reviews and, sure enough, there were a ton of 4 star reviews that started with "I never give 5 stars".

I'm still irrationally angry about. Like, why?! Why fuck up the rating system? Are you worried about star inflation?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Probably the "nothing is perfect" mentality, which doesn't understand that 5 stars or a 10/10 doesn't mean something is perfect because, as they said, nothing is. All ratings are there to be used!

If you give them too many free stars they get lazy and stop trying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yep I just had the worst sushi of my life from a place with 4.4 stars. Best place in the city is 4.8. Definitely star inflation

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Shit like that is exactly why so many places don't use stars anymore.

Oh god it just hit me that we’re in for a category 6 shitstorm when he turns senile

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Such a peculiar point of view!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

4 gray stars because it's gray...t.

Boomers mindset of the entire world.

I know there's a system that makes sense and works for everybody but for stupid personal reasons I'm going to fuck up that system because my petty wants are the most important thing in the world.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Or, just not rate?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Lol.. I hate this product but I love yellow! This is a bad review!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, yellow is a shit colour.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Albeit I respect your opinion, I humbly disagree. Downvoted :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If the color of your shit is yellow, you should probably see a doctor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Mines turquoise like it should be.

Gotta be some autism at play here

I feel like this is copy pasta material. Time will tell.
