A couple years ago I had a salesman try to use the "bigger screen" as the big selling point for going up in trim. I asked him why the hell would I want to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen while I'm driving. He said it was safer because I could see more, then I asked if that mean the cheaper trim didn't have the same safety standards as the more expensive one.

So anyway, the wife "convinces" me to buy the more expensive trim...

As far as I'm concerned the man point is tactile feedback. I don't want to have to take my eyes off the road to switch between screens and find the right menu item to turn on the AC while I'm driving.

I smoked for over 20 years, and spent probably 15 of those years trying to quit. When I switched over to a vape pen in 2014 I had to be very cautious about which cartridges I bought because of the obscene nicotine levels in some of them. I can't remember the name of the brand, but there was one that helped me quit because they had a lineup that had a really low level of nicotine in them. After a year I quit without a problem. Just over 8 years now since my last cigarette and almost 8 years since I threw out the vape pen!

It can help, but you have to be very careful which vape juice you use.

Do I have to pick only one? I wasn’t a very bright kid.

  • Willingly let someone taze my testicles in exchange for a beer
  • Chased black bears off the trail behind our house for no reason, usually with nothing more than a nearby stick
  • Skinny dipping in a river known to be filled with leeches
  • Got in a drunk argument with a raccoon, which led to my first underage drinking ticket because I refused to be spoken to in that tone
  • Became friends with said raccoon and even met its kits once over stale day old bread I brought home from my high school job at Jimmy John’s
  • Made a potato gun and accidentally fired it backwards, breaking the glass window in the garage
  • Threw M80’s into the water to go fishing Crocodile Dundee style
  • Believed a girl I barely knew when she said she was on the pill

I did when I was losing weight as a tertiary measurement of improvement behind weight and blood pressure improvements.

Deezer for music, then I rotate monthly between HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount, Peacock, and Starz. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay all them at once, so all they get is 2 months a year each.

It's not like they're asking it to go away or to be curated for everyone. They just wanted to differentiate the type of NSFW. Sometimes if someones in the mood the last thing they want to see is some poor bastard get splattered on a road, other times when the morbid curiosity hits you don't want to see someone showing their "OH!" face.

You tell them to curate their feed, and that's partly what they want to accomplish. Yes, there are tools in place to do it, but it's easier to find what you want by filtering down than it is to use some of the search tools.

Just look at him. Bingus looks like a little ass biter.
