"I've always enjoyed an advantage over people who don't read the instructions." -My Dad.

Folks, life doesn't always come with instructions, but when it does... read them.

Yes.

Social media is a tool, as others have mentioned, but when you get down to brass tacks, everything is either a tool, food, or art.

It's a tool very few are responsible enough to use properly, and that causes great harm when misused.

Letting the oligarch class take control over social media was like giving an angry toddler a handgun, except the toddler can be bribed to give up the gun with candy and the oligarchs never will.

In the end, I don't feel it's worth the trouble of keeping around.

You mean to tell me that Genshin Impact is a video game!?!?

See, you guys are awesome, but when you've got your GoPro on in the combat zone, be sure to remind everyone to like and subscribe after every confirmed kill, that'll really help you monetize your channel.

Calmly explain why that sort of behavior is inappropriate and request an apology.

My step mother was a merchandiser for American Greetings back in the 80's and 90's. I was the Easter bunny at a promotional event once.

That suit was a torture chamber. A fluffy iron maiden. The inside smelled of people desperate for air that was not fetid with their own evaporated sweat.

But, a bunch of cheerleaders from my school sat on my lap... Seventeen year old me consider that an even exchange.

Quick! Someone remind them to have a warrior mentality!

I feel like this would be very entertaining.

Ah, sweet! Man made horrors beyond comprehension.

Pretty sure anyone who's ever grabbed a live wire has felt electricity. I guess you could argue you're still only feeling what it does, but that's like arguing you only feel what a punch in the face does...

I had a 1986 Mazda B2600, 2wd, 5 speed standard. Loved that little truck. It was simple, durable, and dependable if a little bit spartan. I used to have friends with a bigger truck call me to move appliances because the Mazda was easy to load. It really sucks lifting a fridge three feet off the ground to get it in a full size modern pickup. Sold it to buy something that I could put a car seat in and regretted it in end.

Right now I've got a Chevy Equinox, a workable little grocery getter with a surprisingly decent sound system. Decent milage given it's age and it's got the kind of air conditioner you can really appreciate in a hot, humid climate. But it's far harder to fix and maintain, and I don't feel it can take the kind of beating that old pickup could.

Put the climate controls and sound system from the Chevy in my old Mazda and you've got the perfect vehicle.

Guess I'm nostalgic for something that never really existed, but I'd take the Mazda in original trim in a heartbeat if I could get one.

I wouldn't mind hearing about him falling down a flight of stairs, being bitten by a rabid bat, or getting lockjaw.
