    I have legitimately had a pedestrian hit me.

    I was stopped and my car was in park waiting for a gas pump to open up. This idiot watching TikTok’s while walking proceeds to walk straight into the side of my car, and then started yelling at me.

    I was in a parking spot too.








  • There’s been a pilot shortage for years.

    So the FAA reduced the requirements for being a flight instructor. There were a bunch of shitty flight instructors which led to a lot of private pilot incidents.

    I think we’re seeing the results of those shitty instructor’s students becoming commercial pilots at the same time that the seasoned pilots are leaving for retirement or cushy private roles for corporations and the wealthy.

    So it’s mainly an experience thing. Most industries run on the experience of a small group that guides new workers until they’re experienced enough to keep things moving. This is what happens when there’s not enough seasoned workers to guide all of the new employees coming in. The same thing is happening in the trades, where a lot of industry knowledge is being poorly passed down due to all of the old guard retiring at the same time as their replacements are being hired. It’s anecdotal, but I’ve heard from friends who manage facilities departments at major hospitals that there’s a lot of barely running equipment because they’ve only got a handful of people, and only 1 or 2 experienced people, trying to maintain entire campuses.

    Overworked, inexperienced employees will make mistakes. And unfortunately for them, they no longer have the opportunity to learn from experienced workers before they are thrust into critical roles.


  • I used to be good at games.

    And then I got older, and now I have a job, and a family, and don’t take Ritalin recreationally.

    I can’t keep up with the teenagers who spend 6 hours after school everyday playing, and that’s okay. I just play games that cater more to my time.

    Last time I played call of duty I just alt-F4d and refunded after some guy kept zooming around the map and mowing me down with some busted SMG. Those games just aren’t for me anymore.
