Have you never been to a grocery store?

That's not a typical grocery store, it's a friggin Costco/Sam's Club wholesale thing. You have to pay a membership there, but you can save money on the very limited selection of food items that you generally have to buy in bulk quantities. Basically, how many Americans can afford to be monstrously obese and never eat anything of any real value.

Mathematician writes paper on why hipsters all look the same.

I have no idea if this has any validity, but since it picks on a subset of millennials (all of them) I'll seize on it as truth. (Repost from 2014)

Those look like some real entry level hipsters in that stock photo.

Didn't read it because it's pretty loving obvious that almost all humans just dress like whatever subculture they are drawn to, to attract certain people and ward others away. No one needed to write a paper on that.

the whole "lol why all nonconformists look same?!?!?" thing is pretty loving dumb because generally the purpose is to rebel against parental expectations and the popular media portrayal of your demographic's culture, not to not look like anyone else ever

there are millions of people, you're going to look like a bunch of other people no matter what your style is unless you design and sew all of your own clothing and even then it's still probably going to be derivative

I was picking up Jnr this afternoon from his School which has a very good reputation in our area and it's students were known for their high dress standards and good behavior. However today was a type of free dress day and as such the students were able to wear normal clothes as long as they were or had in them a certain color.

Now I was shocked to see that when I was driving him out of the school that the students were behaving abnormally. They were completely disregarding their mormal behaviour and crossing the road away from the designated crossing that was approximately 15 meters away? Not only were they doing this, they were ignoring the cars that were on the road also. Just sauntering across the road at any angle they desired expecting the traffic to stop for them.

Now these are students from a school where such behavior is not tollerated and I was shocked to see this occuring. However with the way that the behaviour of most of the young people today has degraded, I suppose that it had to happen sooner or later.

It's a shame that this had to happen, but sooner or later the general population will wake up and see that this 'Tree of Political Correctness' is bearing rotten fruit and that the 'Do Gooders' are really destroying what is RIGHT. So what we need are Do Righters instead. "The Good Old Days" were called that for a reason - they were the days when people and behavior was GOOD.

Surprised there isn't a ball pit at this meeting

Just imagine how much of what would have been your bonus goes instead into turning your office into a jungle gym for adults.

Actually the same company that owns that office does have a few ball pits, but they are in our Mexico and Mountain View offices, and maybe others. My office has a climbing wall instead of a ball pit, which I think is much superior:



I enjoy riding the coattails and getting these perks to be honest. I am lucky enough to be one of the few hard tradeskills folks that ends up working with a company that targets mostly snake people, so it is quite nice.

In a bar where everyone was a hipster and I dressed like a normal person, because I was out in public. Someone wearing underwear on top of shorts, a white tank top, a giant curled moustache, and a red hat made out of felt walked in. I stopped thinking entirely. Paused to stare at him. He looked directly at me, we stared at each other for a full 5 seconds.

I realised I needed to move out of Vancouver.
