Can't tell if sarcasm/trolling, but just in case:

I only like the albums they did with dave grohl on drums, the rest just don't seem to hit for me.

I'm pretty sure that's only songs for the deaf and a few songs on like clockwork. I can't get into any of their other stuff.

I was thinking this as well, add in some bands (album suggestions in parens) like epica (holographic principle), kamelot (epica/black halo), Symphony x (divine wings of tragedy), and even a band like battle beast (circus of doom) or unleash the archers (apex) and i think op will have a good time

I think in this case, that's actually the joke. Humor often is derived from subverting expectations rather than catering to them, which can be cringe.

I also definitely know a few couples this meme would actually apply to as written, so it does exist. But i also don't think that plainly stating normal expectations is particularly funny.

I've watched this series several times, and i think a lot of what you are saying is fair, but i think you miss the point a bit on Barney. The entire show is a framed story of Ted retelling things that happened decades earlier. The way the show is written, Ted is making it seem like Barney behaves over the top, either to fit his narrative or simply because that's how he remembers it.

One of the reasons it's funny is because a lot of people know "that one guy or girl" who behaves that way, but then when you tell stories about that person you make it even more wild.

Lily does suck though, and I'm surprised she's still friends with anyone

Yeah and that is an incredible amount of money, but at 13% of the budget, that still puts it fifth place in terms of categorical spending.

Yeah the crux of the issue here is whether or not they're actually a relative, and if I'm expecting them.

Show up unexpected at 2am? I'm probably not opening the door for safety reasons. If it's expected company but they're just late, I'll let them in.

I think they're saying this:

Family meals would comprise of three restaurants worth of people since they're all immortal

Separately, you can never retire since you will never hit retirement age

You know, that's the first thing that caught my attention, and it's actually kind of bothering me. I now want to pronounce it "ootopian" to make it work, but it's just so wrong.

Not going to lie to you, this is exactly what i did :)

That is correct, it isn't the default view, it's the electrification view, which OP inferred they were using (the title says electrification map). If you open the link, the orange is worldwide general rail infrastructure.

If you click the top right options button (the 3 line "hamburger" icon at the far top right, separate from the map layers), you'll see an option for electrification. This is the map they shared.

The grayscale option actually only grayscales the territory, not the infrastructure. I hope this helps clarify the situation.

I do agree that a legend would have been helpful.

I think the original poster posted this intentionally as sarcasm because there is so little color in the image. If you look at the original image and look at the USA North east near new york, you'll see a few meager lines that are various colors (as well as a few slivers in south and central america, and what looks like a dot in los Angeles). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.

It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color. I'm on mobile and am able to see it. If you're not able to, it may be an issue with your app or method of viewing the post.
