Happens all the time in the big cities.

Fuckers need to be tossed off a dry bridge.

No but those Austin fuckers did it on 35 too. It's always 35. I thought it's the worst highway in the world before I got to drive on LIE.
When I was in Dallas a couple months ago it was like the autobahn on 35E.

I love it in theory, always loved trains. Travelled to Italy, Holland and Spain as a kid, also often up North to Hamburg or so

but they'll make it impractical, expensive and overall shitty

80€ - I can fly to Turin
120€ or so train ticket :baus:
I was going to say, last time I was in Europe I paid like 80 Euros to fly from Palma to Barcelona, right before Covid. I don't know how fast the trains are going to be, but for the cost the EasyJet and the like flights are hard to beat.

I wish trains made a comeback and were practical. For a pre-internet era kid there was nothing as exciting and adventurous as travelling on a night train. Nowadays still, before covid anyway, I used to see the Moscow-Paris TGV every Thursday on my commute, always felt like getting in and going regardless of direction.

once in the late '90s we got lucky with my father. we saw a guy standing on the bridge over the highway with something big in his hands. the guy aimed that thing (a full size car battery) on the car coming after us, the driver could barely avoid that shit. the story was in the news for a while, and apparently the same guy managed to hit a couple of vehicles before getting caught. i still check bridges over the highway every single time ever since.

So, I need someone to explain something to me.

TikTok

I mean, wtf?

Look, I survived Vine and thought that was just a more amateur version of America's Funniest Home Videos, with the benefit of it being over in 6 seconds to limit the agony. Grandma fell down the stairs. Heeelarious. A dog licks its balls in a wedding. Hooheehaaa. I get it.

But TikTok? I mean, I've long heard all about their great AI selection algorithm and the "creator economy" bursting at the seams there. But as many times as I have tried hard to find anything redeemable on it, I just feel like Jamal on Slumdog Millionaire when he escapes through the gigantic sh*thole toilet. Everything is revolting and leaves me feeling covered in excrement.

There's the videos of people in showers showing off the different brands of shampoo they use. WTF is that??

There's the thirsty white whores shaking their C-grade strip club T&A for the camera in a dance to some vomit-worthy song.

The sassy black women who can't stop looking at themselves and pointing fingers at you.

The psychotic wannabe docu buffs who replay videos of historical human atrocities and disasters.

Weird false color images of girls making dumb faces covered in sparkles.

The occasional chicks walking around with filters of Japanese manga characters.

Jason Derulo attempting bad comedy.

Insanity is doing the same thing over again expecting a different results, but I've finally and really given this a try over the past month or so. And out of about 300 TikToks that I was compelled to click "Not Interested" -- as in, "please don't show this crap to me ever again" -- I maybe let 5 slide. It's that horrifyingly bad.

Dafuq am I missing, or is this really just it?
