Whether music is good or bad, it becomes annoying to hear the same thing again and again. I don't get why radio stations don't have longer playlists or more variety.
So there are two things happening here. One is that, according to some industry research, the average car trip is only about 15 minutes long. So after 5 songs and a commercial break most people are out of their cars at their destination. It's wasted variety to have a song cycle that's more than about 10 songs.
The other thing is that people's tolerance for variety in music is on a very broad spectrum: most people are fine with hearing the same song 2 or 3 times in 8 hours. I personally listen to the same song about 3 times in a listening session (just put 1 10 minute long song on repeat for my whole 40 minute car ride).
Starting drinking late in the evening, when you plan to drink/socialize for hours. Usual result is you lose the next day because of a hangover/sleeping in.
Why not start drinking at noon on a Sat? Drink and party/socialize all day with friends. Stop at 9 or 10, go home, get a full night's rest and sleep off the alcohol. Then you still get Sunday as a usable weekend day.
Amen. It has to be a group effort though so the parties over at the same time. I used to start drinking early, thinking I would then be asleep by 9 or 10. The next morning I would be curious why I'm still tired if I went to sleep around 10...then one of my friends would say "we shut the bar down last night", after going to 3 other bars that I had no recollection of...#earlydrinkingblackout
I don't get: people who drink to the point of not remembering that night and being proud of it - and wanting to do it again.
Yes, this! As a non-drinker it's difficult for me to understand hard-drinking people. I get drinking a few glasses if you really like the taste ( I can't stand it). But the desire to get completely drunk is just extremely difficult for me to understand. Why does a grown adult want to degenerate into a barely conscious adult baby barely able to walk and talk? And do it again the next time - on purpose?
I am a drinker, and I don't get it either. I enjoy a glass or two of wine or a good cocktail (or good scotch or tequila), but getting brown-out drunk once or twice in college was more than enough for me to learn my limits and stick to them. And besides the real health and safety risks, it's expensive!
When I drink my personality changes. Not just my feelings about the moment, but my whole disposition toward my life and community. It's like there's an entire other person inside of me that I've only learned how to be when I'm intoxicated. And I like that guy, so I let him out from time to time to get a little air, stretch our legs.
That guy likes being me a bit less than I like being him, so once I'm in this altered head space I make an effort to be "safe" from any late night sobriety, getting just a
bit more drunk than is functional, so that my vibe is not disrupted by any tendrils of clear thought while waiting on my next drink.
I don't get why people use a dryer in fantastic weather.
Perhaps I've merely done it wrong, but I can always tell immediately when cloth has been hang dried. It's tolerable when I'm using a towel (I'm already wet) but for anything that is supposed to go on my dry skin, I'd rather go to work stark naked than wear line-dried shirts and slacks.
I do not understand the phrase "break the internet".
The phrase dates to a claim that a photograph of kim kardashian was so popular that every major social media and news website froze, so quickly were people trying to download and share the image. For about half of all people using it, the internet was, literally, broken for about an hour.
Something "I don't get": older kids (and adults!) obsessed with Legos. Seems rather infantile in addition to the crazy high price and how uncomfortable they are to step on!!
Legos are 3-dimensional art for people who are bad at sculpting. They are recombinable, not sticky, and cheap. They are basically the perfect amusement for people who are interested in the concept of making quilts, but not interested in pushing out a few
months years of crappy piece works to get their needle skills up to par.
