Users express frustration over the poor condition of bike lanes, including potholes, uneven surfaces, and lack of maintenance, forcing cyclists to use roadways or risk safety.
"Some potholes in bike lanes are wheel ending."
"I simply cannot ride safely on the bike path when it's littered with garbage, potholes, 2in cracks, and the asphalt hasn't been resurfaced in 15-20 years."
"Even with unblocked bike lanes, sometimes I have to use the road instead because the bike lane is such in a bad state I would wreck myself using it."
Users are discussing the annual Montreal fireworks competition and expressing interest in finding good viewing spots that are not too crowded.
"Where is the best place to watch it from? Besides La ronde."
"Where’s a good place to watch that’s not too crowded? DM me"
Cashiers at pharmacies are experiencing high rates of fraudulent gift card purchases, often using stolen or fake credit cards. They lack tools to easily identify and prevent these transactions, leading to financial losses and potential personal risk.
"The other day, the cops showed up at my work cause apparently I let a guy buy gift cards with a fraudulent card."
"We never accept the purchase of prepaid cards with a credit card lol."
Users are frustrated by the increasing use of AI-generated images in public displays and cultural institutions, like museums and exhibits. They want to report instances of AI usage but lack a clear or easily accessible platform or resource to do so, making it difficult to voice their concerns effectively.
"Where can people send their formal complaint? Is there a site or line of contact?"
"I’m going to write to them today! That’s a great idea and I’d invite others to submit a formal complaint as well."
Users express a desire to find specific types of bars like 'dive-y, working class and musician forward bars' but struggle to locate them, often finding venues that are too ritzy for their taste. This suggests a gap in readily available information or discovery tools for this specific niche.
"Everywhere we ended up felt a little too ritzy for my taste but there was at least one person at most bars that was down to chat and hang with us for a bit."
"I wish I could have figured out more dive-y, working class and musician forward bars to chat with people while we were there."
Users express challenges in consistently tracking, setting, and maintaining decluttering goals, often leading to discouragement and abandonment of the process.
"I never have done too well with the number challenges either."
"Oh, I love this approach, I’ve tried similar weekly challenges before, but I always hit the same wall, when I miss a day or two, it gets overwhelming fast and I end up falling off the wagon."
Users express a desire for a tool that automates the process of identifying and deleting redundant or unwanted photos, such as duplicates, screenshots, and photos associated with negative memories. This would help streamline the process of photo management, reduce storage space usage, and alleviate the emotional burden of manual review.
"I would, but I’m waiting for some magical app to appear that will do this for me. But yes. If I weren’t decades deep in taking-and-saving-too-many-photos debt, I would feel so much better with your method."
"I’m currently going through 20 years of digital photos, cleaning them out so I can put them in an online album to share with my kids. It’s exhausting but also so satisfying deleting so many duplicates, screen shots, bad photos that should have been deleted long ago"
The primary frustration revolves around receiving sentimental gifts that lead to unwanted clutter and social obligations. Users express a desire for fewer possessions and the burden of caring for items they don't want. The discussion covers various strategies for mitigating this issue, including requesting consumable gifts or experiences and setting boundaries.
"Where I get resentful is when someone gives me a gift that is sentimental to them. Suddenly, it's not disposable. Now I'm stuck with it."
"Every single sentimental gift I get clutters my mind, reverses painfully fought progress of owning less and less, and gives me another obligation."
Users express frustration with the inability to breed fish in Minecraft, leading to difficulties in obtaining resources like black dye (from squids) and tropical fish (for axolotl breeding), as well as a desire for more engaging gameplay mechanics.
"It’s ludicrous that the only way to get one of the most demanded dyes in the game in any significant quantity requires you to exploit squid spawning mechanics."
"yeah. i want to feed my axolotls without trekking down to the ocean to do so"
"I actually started playing again after a long time , and found it disappointing when i went to look up how to breed fish and found out you couldn't"
"yes, I hate having to go so far for tropical fish buckets to breed axolotls"
Users are discussing the feasibility of implementing directional water flow in Minecraft. A key concern is the potential performance impact on world generation, especially when the game needs to determine water flow direction based on the terrain and neighboring chunks.
"When you create stuff like rivers being required to know where oceans are and oceans needing to know where land is: worst case, you can't. Best case, it is going to make world generation for rivers and oceans a lot more intensive."
"This is not currently possible due to how Minecraft worlds are generated, and even if they did make it possible, you would need a NASA computer to just generate a world."
Users express frustration with the inconsistency in finding rare biomes like Mooshroom Islands and Pale Gardens, citing small sizes and limited availability, impacting gameplay.
"I get so tired of searching thousands of blocks in order to be met with one mooshroom island the size of an igloo."
"I'm tired of searching and searching for rare biomes only for it to be like five trees or a 10 x 20 island"
Users are discussing the lack of an easy way to create and utilize invisible item frames within the base Minecraft game. Currently, the only method involves using commands, which some players consider cheating or undesirable. This discussion covers different crafting recipes, and desired behaviors for the invisible item frames.
"I 'crafted' invisible item frames with invisibility potions and regular item frames."
"I need this! Giving myself an invisible one with commands in becoming a pain."
"I personally want invisible item frames just because that can allow to make maparts with transparent background, its imo stupid that its only possible if you spawn invisible itemframe with commands."
Users express frustration with the difficulty of finding specific seeds that meet their desired criteria (e.g., latest version, specific biomes, specific spawn location).
"Find me something like this on bedrock"
"bummers.. Wish these seeds woud be for the latest version and with default terrain settings. It's amazing!"
Users discuss the Democratic Party's perceived failure to address issues specific to men, leading to frustration and alienation. The discussion centers around the lack of targeted messaging, the perception of prioritizing other demographics, and the use of language that is seen as dismissive or accusatory towards men.
"If Democrats listened to everyday men over what some DC consultants say and actually made a sincere effort in their messaging to men and took their struggles seriously, they'd at least pry a meaningful percentage over to their side away from MAGA."
"Democrats have very strong and targeted outreach to every group except men."
Users express frustration with the apparent lack of understanding of trade deficits and tariffs by political figures and their supporters.
"Trump is an impulsive man who does not understand how tariffs work, the pros and cons of a trade deficit/surplus and how to actually run an economy."
"The truly dark part is how Trump supporters try to rationalize these moves by Trump as if it is some unbelievably smart 4D chess move, instead of realizing the blatantly obvious."
Users express frustration with the current state of immigration policies, enforcement, and the perceived lack of clear information. There are discussions about rapid changes in laws and enforcement tactics, which makes it hard for people to stay informed.
"Dems need to have some sort of immigration policy they are going to run on in 2028."
"I often wonder if the media representation of how "draconian" policy is currently, is a cheap, effective, intentional deterrent"
Users express frustration and skepticism regarding the official narrative and information presented in news reports about the Epstein case, particularly the DOJ and FBI's conclusions. The discussion centers on perceived cover-ups, conflicting information, and the lack of transparency, leading to difficulty in determining the truth.
"Anyone who continues to support Trump at this point is an enabler of those crimes"
"This is why its not just frustrating but makes me seriously question the findings."
"So much lying. I can't help back to Trump's interview during the election that he would definitely release JFK and 9/11 files but then hesitated to say he would release the Epstein files because ["it would affect people's lives if it's phony."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJorAVgHy7Y)"
Users are frustrated by the lack of consistent news coverage of the same events across different media outlets, leading to difficulty in staying informed about current events.
"I should mention I’m Canadian. But our CBC is the same as your guys CNN bullshit."
"Funny don't see anything on CNN?"
"I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't blow up more; maybe major media is working on the narrative?"
"Did I just miss it because of the holiday weekend or was this not widely reported on?"
"Notice CNN has one written story and no news about this."
Users express frustration with the complexity of student loan repayment plans, particularly the SAVE plan, and the lack of clear guidance from loan servicers. They struggle to understand the implications of different plans and the steps required to enroll or switch between them.
"As far as how I feel about SAVE ending itself and repayment plans, I wish something similar was able to get set up under the bill, where it followed something similar to SAVE and could at least be in the range of 5-10% of income."
"Borrowers switching from the SAVE Plan to another IDR plan can expect quick and timely processing."
Users express frustration and confusion over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the perceived lack of transparency and consistency from political figures. The discussion highlights the challenges of tracking evolving narratives, contradictory statements, and the impact of these on public perception.
"I think what gets me the most is how this whole Epstein situation has been approached by the Trump admin from the beginning. They knew their base wants to know more about who was involved and treated it like the Hillary emails. So they hyped it all up, Bondi saying she had the client list ready to review, Patel also being involved…and then they botched it as soon as those “influencers” got the binders of the Epstein files, only for there to be nothing groundbreaking."
"It’s a bad look for sure hyping the topic up, saying you are gonna release the proof, and then saying it wasn’t anything and to forget it. I’d hammer him on the topic every day if I was the opposition."
Users express frustration with the politicization of everyday concepts and the difficulty in determining when statements are being used with political intent, especially when dealing with conflicting ideologies.
"People tend see expression they agree with as “non-political” and expression they disagree with as “political.”"
"It's crazy to think that an "Everyone Is Welcome Here" sign has become some sort of political Rorschach test."
"It’s absurdly stupid to have people that worked up over a poster/sign that promotes a good message and is not trying to be divisive."
Users discussing the challenges of selling a large collection of model kits, including determining their value, finding potential buyers, and the effort involved in selling them individually versus as a lot.
"Unless you find a hobby shop that buys kits this is going to be a lot of work to offload."
"I doubt anyone would buy all of it in one go"
"With the amount of kits it might be better to look at a specialist auction."
Users express dissatisfaction with the commentary during a baseball game, specifically highlighting the announcer's performance. They find the commentary unexciting, lacking energy, and generally unpleasant to listen to. This leads to a diminished viewing experience.
"Im gonna be honest jenny cavnar’s broadcast makes these A’s highlights borderline unwatchable"
"The A's have had some great highlights this year but they'd be a lot better with someone else doing the call"
"Awful commentary"
"Oh God why did i turn the sound on??? Jesus H she is horrible. If you could have the opposite of Vin Scully she is it. Nails on a chalk board."
Users express frustration with the limited and potentially biased presentation of baseball statistics during discussions about player performance and All-Star selections. They highlight the need for a more holistic view that includes defensive stats, WAR, and other advanced metrics to provide a fairer evaluation.
"Now do stolen bases, defensive stats, and WAR. See I can cherry pick stats too."
"How could you do the All Star game by stats? There’s so many numbers out there for everything."
"Didn't show war or defensive value of course"
"Julio has 3.4 bwar, Jo Adell has 1.2. Baseball is more than just hitting"
Users discuss challenges in troubleshooting network problems within a single, large subnet, and propose solutions involving VLANs for better organization and easier diagnosis.
"Having that much noise on a single subnet can make diagnosing network problems challenging."
"Consider grouping by areas or device type."
Users express frustration with the lack of deep troubleshooting options in Cisco Meraki devices, leading to reliance on vendor support (TAC) for resolving issues. This is a recurring pain point.
"If something goes wrong you are at the mercy of TAC"
"Any real problem will go to tac and they will be as useless as ever."
The discussion revolves around best practices for naming spine/leaf network devices. A core pain point is the challenge of efficiently identifying whether a leaf switch is connected to a single or multiple upstream switches (single-homed vs. multi-homed), which is crucial for network management and troubleshooting.
"I have the opportunity to rename some of this architecture where I work and I am wanting to find ways to make useful names; "useful" mostly meaning ways I can easily identify single vs multihomeing leaves."
"I normally use inventory information (netbox) to identify which two leaves are "pairs" (same servers are multihomed to them), but if there are more clever ways to do this, I'd love to hear!"
Users express confusion and uncertainty regarding the optimal configuration of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) with ESXi hosts. Discussions revolve around whether LACP is beneficial, whether it is correctly configured, and how it interacts with ESXi's teaming configurations. The core issue is a lack of straightforward guidance on best practices.
"I’m reviewing our current Data Center setup and I’m not sure if our NIC teaming and switch configuration is optimal."
"Would Active/Active be a better match for LACP – and if so, under what ESXi teaming policy (Load-Based Teaming, Route based on IP hash, etc.)?"
"Is it correct to use LACP on the switch if ESXi is configured with Active/Passive NIC teaming?"
Users are discussing various DDoS mitigation techniques and services, but express challenges in comparing the different options and determining the best fit for their needs. They mention different vendors, tools, and approaches, highlighting the complexity of the decision-making process.
"I am curious about how you handle or saw possible ways to mitigate ddos attacks, primarily as a service provider."
"Wich tools, products and companies do you know?"
Users are discussing the benefits of using the same VLAN IDs across multiple sites, especially in large environments. A common point of emphasis is the ease of troubleshooting and onboarding new team members when network configurations are standardized.
"We should really standardise this so we can make it easier to onboard newbies."
"Makes memorizing and documenting your schemes super easy too."
"Doing it this way is standard for multisite networks. It makes troubleshooting much easier. You see a VLAN ID on a switch/firewall and you know what type of device it is!"
Users are frustrated by the long wait times between seasons of TV shows, leading to difficulties remembering plot details and characters from previous seasons. This necessitates rewatching entire seasons or seeking out external recaps to understand the new season.
"I don’t remember a thing about it gonna have to rewatch the entire first season"
"I do not remember S1 and I have had enough rewatching old seasons."
"I don't mind that it takes a long time between seasons, but please provide a good, long recap episode. It can take 10 or 15 min, but then at least I can remember who everybody was."
Users express frustration with the abundance of poor-quality content on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, leading to a time-consuming search for watchable shows. This is exacerbated by the perception that these platforms prioritize quantity over quality, making it difficult to discover worthwhile programs.
"So all the garbage trash reality TV.. Love is Blind, The Ultimatum, Jail Birds, selling the city, and the list goes on and on and on. Personally, I expect higher effort content from a paid streaming platform than this literal slop."
"The majority of Netflix's original programming is unwatchable. Most people just aren't aware of how much original crap they put out. Most people only know of the hits like Stranger Things and Squid Games. But the reality is, Netflix emphasizes quantity over quality."
"My friend calls Netflix like a 90s video store. You spend 1hr going through all the titles for shitty movies you have no interest watching, and just get Top Secret! for the 10th time."
Users are expressing frustration with Netflix's new interface, citing issues with content discovery, the lack of customization, and the removal of useful features from the previous interface. They specifically mention difficulties with the 'My List' function, the limited number of items displayed at once, and the absence of 'new and popular' or 'what's coming' sections.
"I miss the large "My List" block the most. I hate having to scroll through my hundreds of queued titles one by one."
"I miss the what's new, upcoming next week, this week section...it let me set reminders for so many shows...bit now I have no clue what is coming...."
"I found it very hard to find new things to watch with the new layout compared to the old one, especially when I could switch between the two."
"The worst part for me is "my list", it's just completely useless now. Every time I wanna look for something to watch on it, I give up after a few seconds because it's so frustratingly slow and go to Max (where I can see my list in a decent way)."
Users express frustration with streaming platforms' marketing and recommendation systems, leading to missed or delayed discovery of shows they would enjoy.
"Netflix's marketing continues to be a problem."
"They didn't even advertise it. The stuff I watch should have had the algorithms flinging this show in my face"
"I swear they didn't even advertise it. The stuff I watch should have had the algorithms flinging this show in my face: I didn't even hear of it until this week. It's so good!"
Users express frustration with the uncertainty surrounding show renewals on streaming platforms like Netflix, leading to reluctance to start new series without knowing if they will be completed. They want to avoid investing time in shows that may be cancelled, leaving storylines unresolved.
"I can't i just cant watch netflix shows till i see it has 4 seasons, like no i'm not getting fucking invested again to have shit ripped away as its getting good."
"Ive gotten to the point where I dont want to start a Netflix series unless I know another season is coming."
The narrative describes a user's experience being trapped in a series of identical bathrooms. While not a direct pain point for a software solution, the story's setting of identical and repetitive environments could inspire a game or app that challenges users to navigate procedurally generated or identical environments in a unique way, promoting exploration and problem-solving.

The story highlights a growing concern regarding the reliability of one's own perception of who is trustworthy. The user struggles with the ability to discern true identity and motives, leading to a feeling of fear and uncertainty. This stems from a phenomenon where a parasitic entity can assume the form of those closest to you, causing confusion and eventual danger. The user's judgment is clouded, making it difficult to identify true friends/partners from potentially dangerous imposters.
"Regardless of how innocent or frail they look."
"OP, don't let her in! With everything on the news, you might stand a chance!"
"But *the child wasn't the danger*. The invasion is so effective because off the bat, it's someone you "recognize". A cousin, a friend, a partner, someone you should love and trust."
Users express interest in re-recording/digitizing old media. This suggests a potential need for software that can help users easily digitize, preserve and share old media formats.
"Save some thing over the tapes he gave you? Old VCR tapes can be reused to film new stuff can’t they? So just record over it and delete the monster."
Users express interest in learning more about the rituals, rules, and lore within the story. They want to understand the significance of each action and the underlying reasoning behind them.
"I need to know more!!!"
"Please let us know about granny and all her rituals!"
"I want to know the reason for each and every ritual."
The discussion revolves around the analysis of NBA players' playoff performance compared to their regular season stats. Users express concerns about the limitations of the methodology used, including not accounting for variations in minutes played, the level of competition faced, and the overall team context, leading to potentially misleading conclusions.
"Having a great and dominating regular season team allows to “elevate higher” in playoffs, because a player (1) doesn’t need to carry in regular season so that his stats are actually deflated due to less playing time and supporting cast doing more heavy lifting and (2) the player faces worse competition in early rounds of playoffs further boosting efficiency."
"Another thing is the competition faced in small sample sizes of playoffs."
"First of all, are you applying per-100 possessions or not? Because in Kawhi’s 3 best years of his career (18-21) he only averaged 33 mpg in regular season, but would go to 39 mpg in playoffs."
Users express frustration with the current NBA CBA rules (particularly the aprons and supermax clauses) as they impact the ability of teams to build and maintain competitive rosters, especially when it comes to retaining drafted players or signing mid-level talent.
"Owners should be able to spend to keep their teams together; especially after they've won and guys get paid. But the tax escalators and team building restrictions become far too punative. So while wanting to restrict MLB-esque team buying, it's really just limiting the teams that have been astutely assembled and succeeded accordingly. Penalizing them for their success."
"Teams shouldn't be punished for drafting well."
"For them to be getting half of what comparable players got on the open market back then but the cap be 40% higher, they have to fight that."
Users express a need to better understand and predict NBA Hall of Fame inductions. They discuss the criteria, biases, and how the selection process has evolved over time. There's a desire to account for various factors such as accolades, statistics, and the timing of inductions.
"Your assumptions look too conservative. LMA, Horford, Marion, and Lowry have decent shots of getting in. Brand, KAT, Demar, and Iguodala will get long looks. They probably put Laettner in at some point when he's like 75."
"I don't see how Demar can miss it. He's scored a billion points and is still scoring at a high level. Every other player in the top 50 scorers of all time is an Hall of Fame rs, and he's going to be like, the 20th best scorer of all time by the time he retires."
"So is it really getting more exclusive? You would have to adjust for that in this analysis with this additional step I think. Maybe adjust the data to only count HoF inductees that received it within 5 or 10 years of retirement and then see how the numbers stack up"
"A decent factor is probably that the number of awards hasn’t really increased alongside the number of players. There’s still only one championship to win, one MVP to go around, 5 All-NBA first team spots to contend for. It’s tougher to résumé build amongst more talent"
Users discuss the difficulty of analyzing and comparing player archetypes and their impact when paired together, suggesting a need for a software solution to handle this complex analysis using on/off team stats and player play type data. They specifically want to identify which player archetypes pair best and have more or less scarcity.
"I’ve wanted to do a project looking at on/off team stats (not net ratings but say TS% as a team, ast%, TO%, offensive rebounding %, etc). And combine it with the synergy player play type data (ball handling, iso frequency, etc) to create more nuanced player archetypes (probably using clustering to get a better understanding). And from there there compare net impact ratings from various archetype pairings - trying to find which archetypes are paired best and ideally which have more or less scarcity."
Users discuss the difficulty in evaluating the value of certain players (specifically SGs) in the current NBA landscape, leading to challenges in finding suitable trade partners or making informed contract decisions.
"the Kings are struggling to find a suitor for him."
"The Jazz traded Sexton and a second round pick for Nurkic and waived Jordan Clarkson in a buyout agreement."
"The Blazers likely couldn't find a team willing to give them draft assets for Simons and pivoted to acquiring Holiday from the Celtics, who wanted to lower their payroll."
"With the new CBA and the second apron, which is essentially a hard cap, it has forced GMs to look in the mirror and make hard choices regarding their rosters."
Users express confusion and a desire for a clearer understanding of the complex NBA salary cap rules, particularly the implications of the second apron and repeater tax.
"Why would they pay 149 million in tax for being 38 over the tax line? Where does that come from?"
Users discuss the limitations of comparing NBA regular season records to a format like the Premier League due to the unbalanced schedule and the impact of conference divisions, specifically mentioning that teams in the East may have an easier path to racking up wins than those in the West.
"You’re not accounting for the fact that the West is traditionally the overall stronger conference. Each team will face teams in their own conference 3-5 games, vs 2-3 for the opposite. This means that good Eastern teams will have an easier time racking up good records compared to their Western Counterparts."
"The unbalanced nature of the NBA regular season schedule can skew overall records to a degree, maybe not a large one since the league expanded from 21 teams in 1979-80 to 30 currently, but it does make a difference."
Users are discussing the criteria for a shooting efficiency club, with a focus on the 50/40/90 club. The primary pain point revolves around the limitations of the current criteria (FG%, 3PT%, FT%) and the desire for a more accurate measure of shooting efficiency, such as using 2PT%, 3PT%, and FT% to determine eligibility.
"Can we please generalize this to reporting 2P%/3P% instead of FG%/3P% **everywhere**?"
"I just want the club to be consistent, that is all. I think the example I gave proves the point, a season where a guy shoots better from everywhere should make the club, obviously. Yet it doesn't. And it's so easy to fix (replace FG% with 2FG%) that I find it weird we don't."
Discussion about the challenges big men face when trying to improve their shooting range, with a focus on mental hurdles and the importance of support from coaching staff.
"The mindset shift required is difficult, and it takes time, as well as encouragement and buy-in from the staff."
"I think I mentioned something here earlier about bigs and how difficult it is for them to get over the hump mentally. Sengun is most likely to fall into this category."
Users express frustration with the subjective nature of player evaluation and the difficulty in comparing players, particularly during trade discussions. The conversation reveals a desire for more objective ways to assess player value and potential impact.
"People also criticize Jalen Green for choking in his first year in the playoffs. Durant never made it out of the second round in Brooklyn or Phoenix, was bounced in the first round with each, and completely missed the playoffs this year. But yet we are criticizing a kid in his first playoff series appearance for choking? What does that mean Durant, a veteran superstar, did in Brooklyn and Phoenix?"
"Houston sent Phoenix a generational 18-year-old big, a 23-year-old rising star, a defensive identity-builder, and a first-round level prospect—for a ticking social media time bomb, who has been riding his two championships with the Warriors for almost a decade now and who’s just waiting for the first misstep to activate meltdown mode."
Users express frustration with video content being flagged and removed on a specific platform (Streamable), making it difficult to view and share content related to the original post.
"This video was flagged for violating our [Community Guidelines](https://streamable.com/community-guidelines)"
"Can anyone find a mirror or some other link? I want to see this"
"Fuckin' ridiculous. Anyone got any mirrors?"
"Why does this sub continue to use Streamable? Its removed within minutes every time"
