That’s the thing with rebooting stories, they usually start at the beginning, and run till they’re cancelled. Because of this you may only get one or two stories about Peter navigating his Medicare, but there’s 3000 versions of a teenager being bitten by a spider.

Nope.

A bunch of us were going somewhere insignificant when we noticed someone had fallen asleep.

So, we did what any reasonable person would do and got on the first highway we found and drove the wrong direction.

Once we got somewhere we were pretty sure he wasn’t familiar with, we pulled over at a local diner, woke him up and challenged him to guess where we were.

Leftover anything will last longer in the fridge, but I’ve been known to leave pizza on the counter and pick at it for a few days.

I know this isn’t breaking any records, but on the weekends I go nearly the whole day before I really think about eating.

Why sell lots of one thing when you can sell lots of two things?

That’s probably the safe call. You never know if the person in the other end gets this question all the time and already knows all the details, or if they have no clue and really want to close the sale.

I don’t trust anyone TOO perfect. Eliminate him!

Good point. Let’s make it more efficient!

Everybody gets one vote and one veto.

You can vote for anyone, even yourself, but if a single person vetos you, you’re out.

Add up the votes, remove everybody with vetos, and there you go!

I don’t understand the concern over which instance you are on. We’re all interacting with people on different instances, so what would even change?

It’s not about the rug, Dude, it’s the fucking principle of it!

The movie is more fun.

Maybe he’s been haunting me for years and is just SO PISSED that I have no idea.

I often don’t remember my dreams. Would I just be dead and never know why?

You bring up a counter point that I’ve heard often, and my usual response is that most could probably find admin positions in the government’s system, and the rest can figure it out like the rest of us.

The last part doesn’t make for a great sales pitch, so what about those people who don’t have a job anymore?

I didn’t downvote you, but I think I understand why the sweeping generalization in the title would turn people off.

I don’t disagree with any of your individual points, or the general sentiment, but “Why do people hate reality?” doesn’t describe what you’re trying to say here, and to be honest it just sounds ignorant. (Or at least sounds like you’re getting ready to say something really ignorant.)

Why do YOU hate reality? The Internet, plastic surgery, GMOs and Ozempic ARE reality. I’m not endorsing or condoning any of those things, but frolicking in the woods for a few hours is escaping reality just as much (if not more) than doom scrolling TikTok.

Can’t be close to Jesus without a private jet!

That doesn’t do much for those of us who do, but I’m still happy for you!

It doesn’t sound like it makes sense, but if you know, you know!
