Reply to comment by geekworking in TIL that DMVs in the US are allowed to sell some of your personal information and do. This practice is legal under federal law. For example, Florida’s DMV made $77 million and California’s DMV made $52 million in 2017 through this practice alone. by TheKeyboardKid
Last year, I was shopping for insurance, and the person said something like "our photo shows 3 cars parked in front of your house, and you didn't say you own a Volvo." Well, that's because I dont fucking own a volvo, and why the hell do you have pictures of my house? They also asked who made the rail on the steps in my backyard (which you cant see from the street).

Much love for A24. If you want to see something that isn’t going to be Hollywood boilerplate, grab A24. Just make sure you are ready for some weird shit as well.

I specifically said because it was overplayed, I don’t enjoy it anymore. I said nothing about others listening or being able to enjoy, just that I don’t.

Didn’t destroy anything, and I don’t force choices on people, except for the ones trying to listen to my radio when I turn off Queen.

I used to enjoy listening to Queen. After Waynes World, the local radio stations played a queen song every 3rd of 4th. After hearing Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure or any other Queen song for the 5th time that hour and for months on end, I got kinda burnt on hearing it. Its been what, 30 years? and I still turn the radio off every time I hear Queen come on.

Same thing with me, Wayne’s World and Queen. Totally destroyed, and I used to like Queen.

Reply to comment by Brock_Way in TIL "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" is an example of an impossible task. The idiom dates at least to 1834, from the Workingman's Advocate: "It is conjectured that Mr. Murphee will now be enabled to hand himself over the Cumberland river or a barn yard fence by the straps of his boots. by meat-juice
The modern version being, put on your big girl panties.
