  A disappointingly large proportion of the general population appears to be unable to tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. Is it possible that the “centipedes” you saw were actually millipedes? If so, they may have been “fucking”, or at least the millipede equivalent of it.

  Additionally, it appears that this “fact” is actually wrong (big surprise, huh?). Many species of centipede do have courtship strategies that involve males and females meeting up. The sexes may even employ various forms of physical touch as part of the process. So, it’s certainly possible that the critters you saw where centipedes courting each other.

  For me it’s a little less haphazard, but I’m guessing this person has lived something of a life of privilege and is probably significantly younger than myself.

  I had an ex who was arrested because a gas station employee accused him of not paying for gas after he declined the receipt. Grocery stores and department stores, I want a receipt because there’s too much bullshittery and asshattery going on at those types of places for me to go without. I want to see when Walmart charges me $5.99 instead of $3.00 like it said on the shelf and I want the money back on my card when I inevitably have to do a return. Restaurants, I want my receipt because unfortunately some of the folks who run the card will “accidentally” miskey the tip amount, and strangely it’s always in their favor.

  Make your own beanee weenie at home with better quality ingredients (like top shelf hotdogs and home cooked beans) because it tastes a lot better, costs less, and you have slightly better control over the amount of sodium and sugar going into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if it’s already covered in another comment or if you are already aware, however … Depending on where in the world you live, there may be a semi-local official UPS drop off location at a store or business near you. I live outside of a very small rural town, yet there are UPS drop off options here. They even print, text, or email a receipt to confirm they’ve received it.

  Still not as convenient as an at-home pick-up, but it’s something to consider if you didn’t already know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This scam is approved and doesn't go against Google's policies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s infuriating (mildly may be an understatement).

  My neighbor ended up getting “a virus” on her laptop. It wasn’t actually a virus as best I could tell, but instead, it was a full screen pop-up browser window with no window controls.

  The scam had a bunch of scary messaging and loud sound playing an alarm with someone stating that the computer was infected and that it was also infecting Microsoft’s servers. Further, the scam insisted that she call the number on the screen or she will face legal issues.

  For an older non-technical person, it was frightening.

  After this happened a second time, I did a little more digging to see if I could figure out what was going on. Virus scans showed no infection and I couldn’t find much online with specifics about what I was seeing.

  Turns out, my neighbor was going to Google, searching for terms like “Amazon”, and then she was clicking the first ad / sponsored link in the results expecting to be taken to the Amazon website. Instead, the sponsored ad on Google search was linking to a blog on Microsoft’s Azure hosting services, which then triggered the full screen non-closable scam.

  I even tested it out on one of my old laptops. Went to Google search, tried the exact search term she used, and sure enough, the same exact thing happened. I reported the ad, it is clearly malicious and a scam. It’s ridiculous that Google actually serves up malicious ads like this. And the ad was up there for days after I reported it. I sincerely hope nobody actually got scammed by it, but I definitely feel like Google should be responsible for any damages/losses.

  I did go ahead and install ad blockers on all her browsers, removed google search from being the default search engine, and showed her how to avoid clicking on ads and sponsored links if/when any slip through the cracks. So, hopefully it won’t happen again.

  Quite frankly, the toxic to non-toxic user ratio here is a bit higher than I would hope for an expect. But kudos to you for confronting the toxicity that drives people away! I do appreciate your effort.

  I was going to type something mean about her but I’m afraid she could sense I was rude on the internet and telepathically cause my skull to explode like a hard boiled egg in a microwave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This has been your weekend PSA⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried all the “quick chill” methods I’ve heard of, but none of them work as quickly or as well as the icecream maker method. Watered down ice with some table salt. Set your unopened beer into a slurry like that, and in about 20 - 30 minutes, it’s surpremely cold. None of the “5 minutes and it’s ice cold” methods work as well or as quickly to be honest. At least not in my climate and in my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨His presence terrorizes this town⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gouda for him, though. However Brie his 15 minutes may be, let him enjoy it. 20 gallons over the course is not even all that much. That’s barely more than a gallon a month. If you speak Portuguese, that’s like less than 4 liters. A liter a week of cheese isn’t exactly uncommon. That’s like a few salads, some mac and cheese, a pizza, several cheese quesadillas, a box of Hungry Helper, and some cheese strings, plus cream cheese bagels, and a sprinkle of parm on the pizza. Who hasn’t had one of those types of week before?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pickle Juice, Pickle Beer, why not Pickle Milk?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never bought any, but I was tempted to try the dill pickle flavored ice cream that I saw for sale last year. I found a review of it https://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2023/11/15/van-leeuwen-dill-pickle-ice-cream-review/ that suggests the flavor was actually pretty tasty. It was a seasonal thing or maybe even a one time thing, so perhaps I’ll never have the chance to taste it myself.
