- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 4 days ago:
Not to be that guy but there’s no way in hell that $700 is true. There are pages of fridges for less than $400 that are 7 cu ft.
I mean, fuck Amazon and all that jazz, don’t get me wrong - I just feel like it’s worth noting the hyperbole. It’s not that bad, at least from an end consumer perspective.
Amazon is admittedly powered by greed and the tears of the proletariat but they do a good job keeping the customer happy.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 1 week ago:
No debtors prison but there is a credit score. And that shit is the gateway to paying less for everything when you’re borrowing money. Especially for a mortgage on a house so you actually have equity in the property you’re living in.
Wrecking your credit score basically gate keeps you from a lot of stuff sadly.
I mean, I know you said /s but just saying fucking up your credit can screw you hard in the hyper capitalist hellscape we live in.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 1 week ago:
That sucks. Yeah, fighting is the keyword there.
I mean, I’ll put it this way, I wouldn’t recommend Samsung appliances and won’t buy them again in the future but I have not found any major problems with mine five years on (save the fridge).
I agree though that there are enough bullshit problems that pop up and having a severe lack of good customer service is a combo that’s steering me away from Samsung. However, they are ubiquitous for a reason.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 1 week ago:
I think their appliances are a lot like the rest of their tech. If you get a good one it’s solid for years and years, but God help you if you get a shitty one because their customer service is garbage.
Also idk what crack or other drug their engineer was on that designed the ice box in my freezer but it literally is made in a way that constantly causes problems with ice build up and not being able to dispense ice because of it.
But I will say all the rest of my Samsung appliances and even the fridge aside from that ice box bullshit have been going strong.
I think they also have crap quality control, it reminds me a lot of anything Alienware I’ve owned. Still using a mouse from 15 years ago but also had a keyboard from them die right around the one year mark and it was impossible to get any help from their support.
While I’m ranting huge shout out to turtle beach who’s customer support and care was exceptional. My dog chewed through my headset wires and they shipped me a new one no cost.

Hmm everyone in here seeing different things, I like it.
Personally, I saw a dragoon. (I need more pylons)

He could have politely asked for the supervisor to start vs being a belligerent asshole until one showed up. Alternate take though, if he was nice and asked for a supervisor to start and the person told him no and they wouldn’t get a supervisor - well that’s when you have to actually be the asshole and make enough of a scene one shows up.
That’s like … Very unlikely though, most people will get you their higher up person if it’s necessary to help and you’re being nice.
I hate when you have to be the jerk to get what you need but sometimes you just have to.

I think I know the same amount of information after reading the article as I did before. That “article” could have been a headline.
Train collides with tractor trailer - no injuries - details still unknown
I feel disrespected by that article. Harrumph.

This is supposed to be a hilarious Adult Swim infomercial not real.

Oh I mean taco bell is trash I just am saying you can go from super authentic to “Mexican” food all within walking distance of one another.
- Comment on What’s wrong, babe? You barely touched your Spaghetacos 1 month ago:
I know you’re making a joke just for the record.
But, seriously, you can get some really good Mexican food in Ohio, at least in and around Cincinnati. It goes all the way from authentic abuela selling tamales from a cooler to some texmex deliciousness (shout out to Gomez), then of course the all time classic taco bell.
Also shout-out to tortilleria Garcia, great food.

Considering he was a smoker too, I wonder what his life is like now 15 years later.

Incidentally, the soda (gas-injected water plus syrup) is so cheap this [a real boy really named Peyton coming in and filling his bin for the fill-your-own-cup-special] would be better indulged and tolerated as a photo op and free advertising
What do you think this is?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
My initial Google search with Gemini says neither Sony nor their subsidiaries produce adult novelty vibrators.
However, I would be willing to bet money the same vibrating motors in their controllers are in a vibrator somewhere without knowing more details about how that tech is sourced. I could be wrong but I like to think somewhere someone is using the same vibrator to rub one out as the one in a PS5 controller.

Wait, actually, I think the person has fishnet stockings on, I didn’t zoom close enough to see the first time.

See I thought it should have some sort of dress under to cover up the person’s legs completely.
Either way would work well though!

Sounds like it might be time for a rewatch! I probably should rewatch it too…
But that’s a fun episode. The episode’s plot is basically Alien if the alien was a sentient spoiled food item.
Enjoy this Fun mva from 17 years ago …feeling old yet?
- Comment on BE NOT AFRAID, MORTAL 3 months ago:
Yeah it’s cowboy bebop. It’s from the episode where they have a monster that was leftovers in the fridge roaming the ship and terrorizing then.

I think that’s really up to interpretation. Her age seems to fluctuate in historical texts from her time.
She easily could have been younger than 18.
People didn’t really have any age of consent laws or any of that and her birth year can only be roughly estimated. So I’d say pick another princess lol
- Comment on Bird 4 months ago:
Honestly, I can see how someone would think insects and animals are different things given that we never call them animals like 99% of the time.
Plus they’re so different than say, a cat or bird or fish, it almost feels like they shouldn’t be called animals.
Of course, insects are animals, but I’ve heard people say way dumber things than that, things like, “Trump is not a pedo.”

- Comment on I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it. 4 months ago:
Dude I was recently visiting Florida. I totally forgot the fascist bullshit laws about porn there, was gobsmacked I couldn’t view pornhub. 5 minutes and a free vpn on my phone and I was happily watching my preferred smut.
It’s so stupid how pointless the laws are, like it’s dumb easy to circumvent them.
Just some real bullshit waste of time. Plus a waste of money for companies that try to comply with the Florida law. Pornhub just decided if you’re in Florida you can’t even use pornhub because they didn’t want to spend the money and time to comply with the stupid ass backwards law.

Damn the thirst trap is real. Also the fact the profile pic looks like a vagina thing is so crazy (and obviously intentional). It definitely did make me want to see what the actual profile pic was though so +1 engagement point for the bot?

Life is politics, people enjoy trying to make this clean divisible line between “talking politics” and everything else but that line is non-existent.
Politics touches everything we do and interact with. Literally name anything and there will be some sort of rules and laws around it that impact whatever the topic of discussion is.
