  • I think all the electrics should have this since not a single fucking one of them apparently knows to announce their presence when they pass people. Sorry for the rant but I think people should learn how to ride a fucking bicycle before they get on an electric motorcycle and feel like they have priority on the fucking trails.



  • This is an example of it going poorly but advertisers to an extent do it on purpose. Kool-aid gets used to refer to powdered drink mixes like band-aid is used to refer to adhesive bandages and, in some regions, coke is used to refer to soda in general. The idea is to become so associated with the concept as to overshadow the competition.





  • I’m in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it’s t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn’t even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling “[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?”

    And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should’ve seen the looks I’d get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.

    Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
