George Jetson had like a four hour workday. They seriously stole so much from us.
- Comment on is there a name for when you stop preventing a problem thinking it's solved and it comes back? 1 week ago:
To a certain extent you are describing normalcy bias but with an added bit of object impermanence.
- Comment on In-between 1 week ago:
It would still seem to make more sense to say that the end of summer was September 30 then. If anything we’re seeing a definition that needs to be changed due to climate change.
- Comment on In-between 1 week ago:
We aren’t expecting a break in the summer heat for at least the next 10 days… and by break I mean highs finally dipping into the lower 90°s (~34°C).
I’m not a meteorologist, but it seems silly to arbitrarily define something as not the days it is. Summer runs from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox which this year is on September 23rd.
- Comment on In-between 1 week ago:
That would be nice, it’s the same temperature this week as it was last week here.
- Comment on In-between 1 week ago:
How does it feel like summer ended overnight? The equinox is still three weeks away.

Also with everything that used to be a proof of purchase that now requires a scan of your receipt, box tops for education for instance.

I want good content. Not reposted Reddit bullshit.

Corporations don’t get to be absolved of ruining Main Street just because 10 years has passed.

I’m not sure how I could be any clearer about what I mean.

It’s the low effort you put into it. Quantity is not necessarily quality.
- Comment on you know what's mildly infuriating? a reposter bot 2 weeks ago:
Sure but this post also has 9 separate comment threads in 4 hours in addition to 70+ upvotes from what I can see. I’m not saying that every post is going to look the same but typically a highly upvoted post will have several comments. Given the typical ratio of comments to votes it seems like a weird pattern to me.
- Comment on The Walmart in my town didn’t clearly don’t care lol 2 weeks ago:
Walmart is the original Amazon and the poster child for corporate welfare. They have a long history of coming into a town and undercutting the prices of all the local businesses then doing monopoly things when they are the only ones left. Then they did the same thing again in the 90s and 2000s when they added groceries to all their formerly department style stores. At one point in time instructions on how to apply for food stamps were part of the onboarding process when you got a job there. The Waltons, the family that inherited Walmart from their father/grandfather, are just as insufferable as any other rich family.

A giant evil chain put up an enormous obviously AI banner to celebrate 20 years of running small business out of town in Santa Clarita, California, a comparatively small city north of Los Angeles.
- Comment on you know what's mildly infuriating? a reposter bot 2 weeks ago:
For me it’s the apparent vote manipulation that is really pissing me off. At 40-50 posts a day it seems like they are a bot but they could also just have no life whatsoever or a really really boring job (or both).
But I keep seeing them hit the front page over and over with posts that have 40-50 upvotes in an hour and 0 comments. I just don’t see how that’s possible unless they are bot votes.

If they are all the same then does it even matter what day of the week each pill is taken?
- Comment on The prices of these NFL games…nope. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t understand how there are enough people left with this kind of disposable income that this is sustainable.

OP is Reddit repost bot and reposted this from Reddit.

I am also guilty of jumping to the defense of things and making assumptions. I appreciate your apology and I hope you have a great day!
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact: I don’t have to show you shit to leave a comment talking about my spouse’s nearly transparent arm hair.
Seriously, are you doing OK? In the last couple of weeks I have noticed you seeming to be ultra pedantic and quick to get into cyclical arguments. Maybe I just didn’t notice it before because I didn’t disagree with whatever you were commenting. IDK.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
How? You described wanting to live in a world where we could talk about body hair differences and yet you’re the person who wasn’t talking about body hair differences.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
I started this thread talking about body hair differences you’re the one who tried to change the subject. Be the change you want to see in the world.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
OK, nothing I have said is against that point. So your point is fuck me for adding to the conversation or what?
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
If it was common place to see unshaved women then my comment wouldn’t have made any damn sense. My comment is only relevant because there are people who don’t shave and yet still look like they do.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
That has nothing to do with what I said.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Not everybody’s armpit hair is dark black and long and curly. This is what my spouse’s armpits would look like whether they had shaved recently or not.

Try pushing on it. Half the time the mounts are basically rails so you don’t have to center the tv on the studs.

They are, but the alternating word pattern thing is also becoming a meme and its own right.

I would agree with you If those prices weren’t being set by corporations raking in record profits.
