They probably started in what they thought was the middle (so the building name would be centred) and realized too late that it wasn't, in fact, the middle.

On John Oliver's show last night part of the blame of a Trump election was put on the fake news sites / clickbait people constantly share on Facebook. Apparently 44% of people get their news solely on Facebook, or from their echo chamber (both liberals and conservatives, although the conservatives are worse about it). Unfortunately there isn't a clip of just that segment yet, just the whole episode. Relevant part starts around 10:09.

"According to this youtube I found of a comedian, people (mostly the people I dislike) are so stupid that they get their information from inappropriate sources."

(Like, gently caress Trump and John Oliver is amusing in small doses, but your chops are kinda asking to be busted on this one.)

John Oliver actually does his due diligence though, and so is not an inappropriate news source.

Edit:

Also it's HBO, not YouTube. YouTube is just the host of that particular clip. You are very bad at busting chops.

Oliver himself has been alarmed at how much actual journalism goes in to his comedy show.

Attraction is partially influenced by pheremones, seemingly as an evolutionary trait to select sexual partners with compatible genetics. Seeing as children share their parents genes, and we know the parents of step-siblings are attracted to each other, well, it seems like there's some genetic predisposition.

You might find this interesting as well(The reason we pretty much never find out siblings attractive):

Isn't that always been the case that shows like Last Week Tonight and The Daily Show end up being a better news source than the news stations? John Oliver just takes it up a level.

I know how absurdly unreliable this source is, but I saw this on one of those '17 Sign Fails' articles that mentioned it, and in the comments a couple people said they went to the school and it's actually intentional. That's the back entrance to the building and it was done as a joke.

Like I said, terrible source in many ways, but I'm tempted to believe them just because it makes the most sense to me (like you said, why wouldn't they just tell the installers to redo it?).

Friend of mine posted about a scary situation where she witnessed a dude screaming pro-Trump, anti-woman stuff at a young couple on public transit and this person happened:


I guess all crime that is directly motivated by Trump (and plainly shouted so in the face of the people they are screaming at) is totally discounted by the fact that OTHER motivations for crime have existed before this point!

On imgur, blocking freeways is such a heinous, unforgivable crime that nothing really compares to it.

So mad, in fact, that time and time again people keep reuploading gifs and such from other protests where cars will run over large numbers of black people and go "LOL KILL THOSE BLM" even though half the clips aren't even from America. Then people will inevitably go "this isn't racist, they shouldn't block a freeway!" while the rest of the comments cheer on the death of anyone darker than a loving ghost.
