I'm really annoyed how little consistency there is in sizing terminology. One brand's 'XL' might be too tight for me while another brand's 'XL' could fit me like a garbage bag. Makes shopping online a real hassle for me. I always have to check measurement tables and even then it still might not fit right.

I don't understand why the inconsistency exists. If brands all agreed with each other on what exactly their sizing terms mean, wouldn't that cut down on returns?

Initially I read this to the "diarrhea" song.

NYT: "Did Trump say immigrants have 'bad genes'? MOSTLY FALSE. Trump was actually critiquing immigrants' choice in denim jeans."

Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.

Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.

The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄

Well, if Alexa did call the police and they showed up, there's a chance the police might just shoot you instead of the burglar in your own home anyway.

fun fact: the length to width ratio of ISO 216, √2:1, is the same ratio as the tritone in an equal tempered 12-tone musical scale. If you fold A4 paper in half, you get a piece of paper with the same length to width ratio as before; analogously, if you invert a tritone, you get another tritone.

My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑

This has meme template potential.

I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.

I wasn’t even aware a new Aquaman movie was being released.

My mom was drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide daily for a while because some quack on YouTube claimed it prevents/cures cancer.
