According to Sturgeon's law it's actually 95%

That it's always so difficult to find out the wattage of a microwave oven.

The one upper.

You know, the guy who's response to everything is "Oh yeah? Well "I" have.."

Bonus points if he's a trust fund baby, and proud of spending his parents/grandparents money.

And that phrase annoys the royal fuck out of me too

All the people - especially celebs - on fb and twitter proclaiming they voted and ordering everyone else to do the same

Lent a hand making up some venison meat loaf for the food bank. More then enough to feed 60 people, and then some.

Turns out all that venison is donated, free of charge. By hunters.

That's not something they'd ever print, of course. Guns are bad, hunters are rednecks, turn a blind eye when they help feed the homeless.

Hunters are some of the best conservationists out there. I'm sure the majority of them live much more sustainably than the average city-dwelling vegetarian snob

"Selfie".

Who's ass do I have to kick for popularizing the term?

Probably the same person who coined "photobomb." I'm guessing a chick.

Not that this should stop you.

Describing the remodeling of a building or a piece of property as a "facelift"

This sums it up

Other drivers. In the past week or so I've: been forced to wait at a stop sign while the person in front of me played on their phone; been almost run over walking out of a store because some asshole doesn't know how the stripped areas on the pavement work; seen a person changing a tire on the side of the road at night with no lights on; and been forced off the road by someone driving in the middle of the road on a blind corner.

On a positive note, I am waaaaaay ahead of schedule on this.

Other drivers are the worst

Pretty recently, a woman almost ran me down in a crosswalk, with an "Whoopsie daisy didn't notice you!" attitude about it.

And ever get someone driving a little ahead of you, switching into your lane and slamming into your left bumper?

Happened to me three times in one week.

Metro North. Our train systems are pathetic.

Don't even get me started on NJ Transit - half my tweets are how bad they suck

Celebrity worship.

Those celebrity rags bore me to tears, but the guys I know can't get enough of them... Sometimes, seems they're more into celebs then sports.

I guess if that's your thing, then ok, but then you've got people who wear their hairstyles, buy their clothes, and all kinds of stupid crap, like by emulating some movie star you're gonna be a star yourself. It's just dumb.

yeah. ladies whose lives stink on account of having husbands and children go drink wine and paint badly. then flood social media with their horseshit paintings.

Frontier just sent a bill. They're raising rates by 100 dollars.

AT&T left a mess when they sold to Frontier, so the interrupted services is understandable, but this price increase feels like a middle finger to state legislator's for sticking their nose in and strong arming their execs into having sit downs with customers, and providing a refund to most customers. So of course, us, they've got to take it out on us..

Time to shop around.

Current price of Bitcoin: 375$ (At coinbase)

WHO'S BUYING THESE THINGS?!

I get that it's heavily speculator based, but Bitcoin has to have a practical application. It can't just be investor's buying and selling to each other, right?

So who would spend almost 400 dollars on a virtual currency? A drug addict?
