the fucking irony of this comment

maybe "good at bullshitting"?

I've never seen an outright pull handle on a toilet door, it's always a "normal" turn handle (usually the handle itself is used to lock the door), and i just cover my hand with a sleeve or i use my elbow to open it.

Fuck it, take maintenance into your own hand and snap the offending branches off. It takes 10 seconds so even if someone sees you do it and cares about it, they won't have time to react before you bike away.

No not really, the basements in apartment buildings are heated to something more like 17°C (going from what it feels like).
You're just meant to put shelf-stable food in there, like pasta or canned stuff. It's just a big pantry, not a fridge.

And while yeah things will get more expensive, i'm more talking about having food and water in emergencies, which most people don't have. You're not really going to store enough food in there to make much difference for something as long-term as farmers running out of fertilizer, but e.g. if power goes out for a week then a stocked pantry is the difference between it being a traumatic event and it just being a very unpleasant week.

there's something weirdly empowering about touching people's cars. I've straight up slapped the rear end of cars that passed in front of me while i was using a pedestrian crossing, and it's like getting to slap them in the face but without it being assault, or even hurting anything other than my hand.

People feel so utterly safe and isolated in cars that having someone on the outside affect you directly is incredibly jarring and punctures the sense of invulnerability

"hello bob. In front of you is a new employee who is going to operate dangerous machinery while following all protocols and keeping themselves safe. You have to get through the entire shift without telling him he's a sissy for wearing ear protection, or you will be fired."

but the bus driver is, you know, the person driving the bus; and thus the person who can think "hey there's a person cycling on the road ahead, let's slow down and get as far away from them as i can while passing, because i don't want to make them shit themselves in fright"

regardless of the canonical age in the game, BotW very clearly portrays them as like 20 years old. It's like when anime shows characters having no particularly young features and having been head of the guard for 5 years, and then insists they're 15.

Yeah right lmao, the only reason that age is chosen is to appeal to the kids watching it, and maybe (depressingly) to the audience of adult creeps who prefer the idea of them being young..

which as always means nothing, because that's not what we mean by age
