    How does the Jeep Wrangler keep it’s value so well? I had to rent one last weekend and it may have been the crappiest car I’ve ever been in. It only had 26k miles on it, and it was the newer hybrid wrangler, but the materials used were crap, the usability was awful, it was so bulky with barely any real space and it was a terrible ride.

    On top of that, they’re so expensive. Why does anyone buy jeeps?





  • I do this shit all the time. When I’m watching movies, I’ll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I’ll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.

    I’m definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.


  • “The mirror flips up, and the shutter opens”

    THAT’S WHY IT GOES DARK IN THE VIEWER WHEN YOU TAKE THE PICTURE.

    Honestly, I have no idea how I didn’t realize this, but I always thought it was the shutter closing during a photo that caused it to go dark. No idea why I thought that, because it doesn’t make any sense.


  • Inequality is a complicated mess of systems that have been operating in a certain way for so long, that it all feels normal. And for those in a position of privilege, it feels like it’s operating in the best way it could. They literally can’t see past it without a ton of effort, research, and analysis.

    What they can see is that someone gets a taller ladder and they think that’s unfair without being able to see that the taller ladder still doesn’t give that person equal access to resources and they started in a hole in the first place.
