@progo Having watched it *all* (because my wife likes it and I'd rather watch it and spend time with her than do neither) it definitely gets worse as time goes on, and the characters seem more and more unbelievable as they get more and more stuck in the box that was set out for them at the beginning

The problem with Big Bang Theory is that while the characters can exhibit accurate behaviour for nerds, the show is about making fun of said nerds rather than having fun with them

@louis gummies at the very least!

At least there's gummy versions of most vitamins now…

Claims like "eating half a cup of beans a day is enough to lower your risk of heart disease" annoy me to no end. If it's something you need to meet a certain quota or land within a certain range for the desired effect, say that. But to say that [quantiy] does [unquantified] benefit sounds lazy. If half a cup lowers my risk, does a quarter of a cup also lower my risk?

Chicago mix is so hit-or-miss

Both paying donors for blood and not being allowed to pay them seems weird to me. Not sure how to resolve this

How four way stops are supposed to work: whoever comes to a full stop first goes first.

How four-way stops actually work: whoever is brave enough to roll through the stop sign and then floor it gets to go

I want a screened-in deck/porch. Why aren't those much of a thing anymore?

Extra barrier to keep the cat in

Every single person who posts videos of themselves recorded while driving—like so many videos on TikTok seem to be—should be assumed guilty of distracted driving until they can prove otherwise. This might be the first time I've had an opinion of this

If https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine wasn't a thing and creators could exercise unlimited rights over the carrier of intellectual property, it could be considered copyright violation to erase a cassette tape.

Sometimes it seems funny when we have to name the default state

@progo I should get in the habit of doing that!

The worst way to win a game is to not have all the rules explained to you and then after you win they tell you that you cheated.

I'm against the death penalty because it's a pity when a person dies while in non-monetary debt because they did something bad and now can't be fully punished and/or make amends
