The NHL put computer graphic advertisements on the boards and it has nearly ruined the sport for me. There are some bootleg streams that have a broadcast without the advertisements but most of them I find have the ads. Flashing shit. Cars driving down the boards. Animated logos. It's insane what the NHL decided to do with their broadcast product.

I do not understand why it is so common for police in this country stand in front of a car and then shoot the driver when the car moves. It's a manufactured danger and really does not seem like a smart idea to use your weapon to put a corpse in control of a heavy machine.

Not having access to publicfreakouts here has probably improved my health. One community I wish was stronger here is idiotsincars. The only subreddits I still read are askcarsales, justrolledintotheshop, and idiotsincars because I do not see them moving to a different platform anytime soon. I don't mind them being on reddit because they are good communities. Kind of stinks though because I don't participate there anymore. I still check them once or twice a day like I am trying to do with Lemmy to reduce my exposure to bullshit.

I am fanatical about applying sunscreen when I'm outside which sucks cause the one time I wasn't an insane person I got cooked. On the boat I always wear a UV shirt, brimmed hat, and gloves to ensure my hands don't get sunburned because that would be the worst. I have an open deck kayak and was sitting cross legged most of the time so I have a really interesting sunburn pattern lol.

I got fried kayaking over the weekend so I'm staying in the shade this week. Trip lasted longer than I expected and the sunscreen got washed off when we had to portage. Going to get some cleaning done while I'm out of service. Probably going to watch The Prestige while rubbing aloe on my legs.

The Dems have ran non ideal status quo candidates for so long it becomes fatiguing so people stay home or write in Snoop Dogg.

The pricing and resale structure for "full self driving" is insane and anti-consumer so I lean towards enabling the software with a jailbreak not being a horrible thing. I certainly would have no issue with this being done on a used car that had the paid "full self driving" software removed by the mothership.

There is a weekly Q/MAGA/Stop The Steal/Unmask our Children/Stop Groomers demonstration on a street corner near me and it's insane. They recently put up a BAN PORN sign. These freaks want to take away my JO material. I thought this was America.

Third Year Letterman was right. These things are just imported golf carts.

People know posting there won't get any engagement or discussion because it's annoying to sift through the posts in the megathread talking about the megathread.
