This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?
At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.
I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

How long do yall think its gonna take the anime only dungeon meshi fans to realize that not only is marcille not the fanservice character, but that several different characters think shes outright ugly/unsettling and that senshi is canonically so hot to half-foots that chilchuck refuses to introduce him to his daughters?

Y'know, I don't think Zeus claimed Athena disrespected him just because she won the game. Like, he's definitely a big sore loser baby, but I'm preeeetty sure it's not that she won the game, it's because the WAY she won the game was by leveraging the fact that he constantly cheats on his wife to get Hera to vote free Odysseus. THAT'S where the "disrespect" comes in. Not by winning, but by winning via reminding Hera that he's a lying cheating scumbag, hitting his marriage and more importantly to him, his sex life (aka, hitting him where it'll actually make him hurt)

kristen applebees saw a man who lost his grandson and her first instinct was to tell him the truth. bobby dawn, who had been nothing but cruel and unkind to her, who tried to have her kicked out school even after she had been working her ass off, who doesn’t deserve her kindness in any form, and yet she gave it. cuz she saw a man hurting and wanted him to know what had happened. that she tried to save his grandson. and he brushed it off.

I loooooove E-ming not only because it is a cute murder-saber but because everyone assumes Hua Chebg must have sacrificed a bunch of people in some dark ritual when, no, all he sacrificed was his eye. And I love that message: that the sacrifices you make of yourself will always be more valuable than the sacrifices you demand of others.

Hazel posts a TikTok filmed in Steve and Eddie’s bedroom that starts as she says, “So, Pop has basically been moping–”
“I’m not moping,” Steve interrupts from somewhere off camera.
“He’s been moping all day,” Hazel continues, “Because Dad isn’t wearing his ring.”
She flips the camera and zooms in on a ceramic dish on one bedside table to show that it’s currently housing a small pile of rings, including the silver band matching the one Steve is wearing on the ring finger of his left hand.
She pans over to Steve, who’s sitting in bed with his iPad.
“Your dad is a grown man,” he says, not looking at the camera, “If he wants to pretend to be single for a day, that’s totally fine.”
From even further off camera, Eddie can be heard saying, “Alright,” and he appears in the doorway a moment later.
“Enough with the slander. I took my ring off because someone,” he pauses to look pointedly at Steve, “conned me into doing yard work with him this weekend and there was so much dirt under there it could’ve grown its own weeds.”
The TikTok cuts to Steve saying, “Hey, no judgment from me. If you want the world to think you're available to see what happens, more power to you. I personally don't get it, but–”
“Oh my god.”
The video cuts again to Eddie putting the ring back on.
“Happy now, princess?” he asks.
Hazel pans the camera back over to Steve in time to catch a smug nod.
Later, when both the camera and Hazel are gone, Eddie says, “I really don’t know what you’re worried about, man.”
“Uh, do you really not have any idea how good-looking you are?” Steve replies, “I’m not worried about you. I’m worried about everyone else.”
“Steve, when I see someone as old as us who is both hot and not wearing a ring, my first thought is to wonder what’s wrong with them.”
