The astronomical calendar for the summer of 2026 will end for the people of the Nortern Hemisphere in the next two or 3 days.

I've had many good times this summer.

I will remember my cycling vacation in France with the new friends I made and the eclipse of the sun, my visit to friends that live near a golden sandy beach, the endless warm sunny days.

These are just a few of my memories of this summer.

Do you have good memories of the Summer 2026?

Why was the Summer 2026 special for you?

I do love cars. I would want to get something like a Lamborghini huracán. Do I have to aim to do it before 30?
Like to say I owned one in my 20s. If I own it in my early 30s is it not as cool.
I would get one that’s done most it s depreciation.

Unfortunately i got a ticket for speeding in Oregon. was trying to get to my hotel for the night cause i was super tired lol.

Simple question...

Which do you choose? A or B?

After you choose, you learn what A and B really are.

They could both be something good... or something bad. Or maybe only one is good and the other bad.

So which do you choose.

Please vote in the poll.

So this came up when me and my friends were driving around and passed a group of homeless people all huddled around on the floor on the sidewalk and each of my friends stopped to give some money to the homeless. One friend give them $100, another gave them $20, and all of my friends gave money to the homeless... except for me.

And then they asked me "why didn't you give money to the homeless? Don't you have a conscience?" And I was like I do have a conscience but I don't really give a shit about these people who most likely got themselves into this situation and probably blowing all the money people give them on drugs and none on food and water.

And my friends have been bugging me about this for more than a week talking about how I don't have a conscience and I'm like YES I HAVE A FUCKING CONSCIENCE!

One time I even tried to give food and water to some homeless people long ago in the past. Some clean unopened water bottles, some food, a mix of fruits and vegetables and meat just in case they're not allergic to at least one thing, and they rejected it and wanted money instead.

And then I see these same people who are allegedly struggling smoking all sorts of expensive drugs, pissing and shitting on the streets, harassing people who pass by, and overall doing nothing to improve their situation. And I'll say it again I don't give a shit about them.

So do I have a conscience? Are my friends right about me not having a conscience?

I want to tick a box where like I’ve owned a super car. Does it sound much better if I can tick that box in my late 20s as opposed to 30s?

The Arctic kind of stands out among these. While the other locations have a minigenre of dangerous predators, the Arctic only has 1 (although arctic wolves can be scary too).

BUT it's also certainly the most powerful land carnivore on the planet and arguably the most intelligent which gives it a truly scary combination.

I regularly see people being dragged along by their dog, and I've seen the dog refusing to walk with the dog owner, and the owner waiting until the dog decides to move on.

Yesterday it was different, the poor dog was dragged along, and negotiated obstacles by virtually being lifted up on it's lead.

The owner was nonchalant about her actions, with the mature dog happily accepting not being allowed to walk by the owners side, and struggling to keep up with it's little legs.

What kind of relationship do you have with your dog, or would you have with your dog if you had one?

Murderers and rapists... hands down the worst people on Earth, even worse if their victims are children. But the question that's been on my mind is which is worse?

Murder is technically worse as it means the person who was killed is gone and never coming back but rape is generally treated as worse and gets a stronger visceral sense of disgust from people.

I guess part of the reason is rape victims are alive to talk about their experience but obviously the same can't be true for murder victims.

In fiction however rapists are 100% treated as worse than murderers without a shadow of a doubt. Murderer characters are often redeemed A LOT meanwhile rapist characters are basically written as irredeemable pieces of shit with zero positive qualities.

My personal opinion would be that murderers are worse people in real life, but rapists are worse people in fiction.

And by the way the reason I didn't include a "both are equally bad regardless if real life or fiction" option is because in questions/polls like this answers along the lines of "equally" or "all of them" or "none of them" or whatever are just such cop out answers lol.

To me the point of a poll like this to make it fun and/or interesting is to make you think hard and carefully choose between two or more equally shitty options and an answer like "equally bad" just feels like such a lazy cop out answer.

If you do end up saying equally bad I wouldn't complain but I would prefer you not answer because that's not my goal here.
