"Dream On" by Aerosmith is kinda just a shitty version of "Stairway to Heaven".

that's a very strong realization - I've thought the same

the band name Def Leppard is just a shitty version of the band name Led Zeppelin

I have a lifetime of these - please tell me if it's cheating to say older ones

my top one is the insight that a big part of the price is right's mission is to advertize the items for which people guess prices. I believe the "guess closest without going over" thing (which makes zero... ZERO fucking sense as a way to guess something) is a mechanism to cause the guessed prices to skew low, giving the viewing audience the impression that everything is slightly cheaper than it actually is. there may also be a secondary effect where the "too high" guessed price gets a negative connotation, further making the product's actual, low(er) price seem like a good thing. all of this makes the product appealing because of it's low price (and even lower guessed prices) = marketing success

Didn't Def Leppard say they were trying to think of a band name that was similar to Led Zeppelin? Or are you reverse Ken M(ental) torturing again.

Even if you thought you were about to get eaten, you'd probably think "at least I don't have to work tomorrow"?

GnR/Aerosmith and so much other radio rock is so embarrassing when you have to listen to it with peeps from the hood, the rez, other countries etc

My house is worth four times what I paid for it. I'm tempted to sell it and just live in a trailer in the bad part of town( other than the fact a slum is probably more expensive than my mortgage is now) Maybe I can move in with Thor and be his butler.

So is doing it from home not feeling good? I never want to be in an office again but I’m still ok with having my job at this point

I hate being in noise projects and hate noise in general.

What a worthless sub genre of crap.

In the midwest we all own two houses. If you ever become a climate refugee and want to move into a small house with a big yard (and gigabit fiber), my house will still be waiting for you.
