ok so I looked it up, and it turns out they made a track out of PVC pipes, down a hill. The owner didn't realise PVC expanded in the heat, so on a turn the track just fell apart and the dude inside went over a fucking free way and into a swamp.

The funniest part is that the inspector was watching the whole time, and once the ball stopped he left without saying anything. Park management just shut it down then and there.

it’s always “I understand why you have an autism diagnosis now” and not “thank you for explaining the entirety of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to me, I really enjoyed hearing about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster”

on an amtrak when a buncha cis ppl one seat behind me started gushing about "the harry potter experience" and going to london to see all the potter stuff and the hogwarts express and i turn to my girlfriend and project my voice juuuust enough and say "hey did u hear jk rowling was in the epstein files? :)" and start yammering about her and i hear them all shut up reallll quick. i kept going for some time, loudly but enthusiastically conversing with my girlfriend about a topic of some interest to me no matter how uncomfortable it made them. much like some other ppl on this train

did they actually make sabot rounds for their tank, also we're skirting the lines of "simulator" here with this one

in case anyone's wondering, the maximum ssi amount in 2026 is $993 a month. they cut that if you get any other money from any other source at all. like, if someone tries to give you money for christmas presents or you try to do some work for uber so you can save up for something, ssi will take it out of your monthly amount so you basically never go over $993. they really, really hate us.

Yeah… that’s an issue here in the Netherlands too. You’re kinda stuck at 70% or minimum wage. This is survivable but not livable. Having someone living at the same adres means they have to provide for you, even if they’re just a roommate. So you have to live alone and spend ~50% of your income on rent. It’s nowhere near as bad as the US but it still sucks.
