Enjoyer of respectful sports talk. 🍢🦬

Also commenting generally on whatever comes to mind in the moment.
I unfairly fail to consider that tax filing deadline day means something different to everyone.

For me, as a wage earner,
I live paycheck to paycheck until I file taxes and get a return.

Others don’t pay taxes at all until April, so they invest it, gain interest income, etc. We are not the same.

Once April Fools’ Day ends, I’m logging back onto Twitter. I’m kind of curious as to what bad tax advice or life advice or women-hating advice is being pushed these days on my ‘For You’ feed.

This is the apparent treatment I get for saying Drake is probably still more popular than Kendrick Lamar. I always find it weird when people with significant follower numbers post crappy opinions and act personally attacked if someone respectfully replies with a better one.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

If I didn’t know any better, I’d suspect the only three performing artists users of this app listen to are Chappell Roan, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

What do you call the other half of half the truth?

I do think it’s considerate to let people you frequently interact with know if you’re going to resolve to go from being an “on your phone all the time” to “avoiding being on your phone” person overnight.

Whenever I see an Airbnb owner use “well-appointed” in the description of their property, I immediately close out of it and keep scrolling. Whether they ever know or not, they’ll never get a dollar out of me. And it’s 100% their fault.

Quite a relief that a mid-20s Los Angeles resident Chappell Roan does not care that whoever the love interest she is talking to is, is a stoner. Very progressive. And wholesome.

Do you all remember when social media humor was someone posting their semi-serious and observational thought about our state of affairs and then having an imaginary person respond to them saying: “sir, this is a Wendy’s.” People would eat that shit up and I never got it.

I know that people hate the inevitable hassle of Disney World, oppose the mass consumerism, denounce the evil corporation that the Walt Disney Company is.

But every time I bring my family down, it ends up being a 9 or 9.5 out of 10 vacation. Nowhere offers consistently excellent service like them.

Online retailers are hilarious, man.

“How does 15% OFF sound?!”

You mean for the product I wasn’t going to buy to begin with? Not great. And now I’m insulted by your weak offer.

My latest confession is that whenever people post something intentionally cryptic online like

“Maybe Thermandanos was right.”

I never have any clue as to whether they’re referring to someone well-known in Greek mythology or an unremarkable character from the 8th sequel to the latest Avengers film.

It’s entertaining watching people who clearly know nothing about pro international hockey pretend that booing opposing countries’ national anthems is some international political statement.

It’s country vs. country in a sport. Not “oooh no Canadians don’t like us.” Even if they didn’t, who cares?
US playing hockey against Canada tonight in Canada, in order to get (historically polite) Canadians to not boo US national anthem they had Canadian military singer but fans still reigned down boos, then 3 fights in first 9 seconds

Feels like sideshow here in US, but clear Canadians are pissed at US

Writing reviews is always a waste of time. I’ll include all the details, thinking maybe that’s what’s helpful, but it never is.

The most interacted with ones are always: “It was GOOD. The FOOD WAS GREAt!”

And the owners reply: “OMG thank you so much for taking time to review us. See U again soon!”

I’ll never forget how Elon Musk pretended to be nonpartisan. Said he wouldn’t donate to any political parties.

Then, when he still couldn’t get anyone to think he’s funny after spending $44 billion on a social media platform, he decided to align with the biggest cult leader in western civilization.

Not to sound rude but, it kind of seems like Finland might have a tough time keeping up with the other three teams here.

It hasn’t even been a full week and I think I’m already getting tired of hearing from these Eagles fans lol

1) They added Saquon Barkley to their already stacked offense
2) I barely heard about their team all season outside the name “Saquon Barkley”
3) They won a Super Bowl with OPOY Saquon Barkley

I think many people might be rather confused about what’s going on here.

The modicum of support that RFK had was as an environmental litigator, who as AG could take on big corps to clean up our air and water, get rid of junk in food, grapple w/ big pharma.

Not whatever tf seems to have transpired.

My hot take about companies and platforms globally forcing everyone to reset their passwords is that they should warn you in advance, rather than causing you to panic when they lock you out of your account after gaslighting you into thinking you’ve been incorrectly entering your password 8 times.

The interesting part about the Kendrick Lamar/Drake thing is that I’d never heard of Kendrick until he did “Fuckin Problems” with A$AP Rocky and Drake.

In fact, his first big album was released two weeks after that single.

In opinion, people only listened to “Fuckin Problems” bc it featured Drake.

I will never, ever (ever) understand why the lowest price I can pay for a good or service wouldn’t be the direct source of that good or service. I’m talking about the myriad of companies that exist solely to act as discount middlemen for places that offer lodging, flight tickets, event tickets, etc.
