- Comment on hey wallmart, this milk went bad 1 day ago:
Ahhh… Yeah, I’m not big on ice cream or milk (but love cheese, which it seems they don’t sell), so that would explain why I’m only vaguely aware of the name.
- Comment on hey wallmart, this milk went bad 2 days ago:
It seems I’ve lived most of my life in the small part of the world where they distribute, so I’ve definitely seen the name on the store shelves often. Still had to look it up though, because who actually pays attention to that? Haha.

Maybe I’m just too high, but I’m a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that’s gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental “friends”.

“No show” socks have been a thing for quite some time, so…?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Je m’en fous
Ashamed American here and I assume your comment was in French, and those are the only two things I have even the vaguest clue how to pronounce in French (but I had to look up the spelling!)
Funny enough, as you suggested, I popped your text into a translator after typing out the above and using my limited second language knowledge, and it turns out, I managed to get the general gist of it without the help of a translator!

A few drops of lemon juice helps cut the bitterness. Just be careful about adding milk or cream!

Looks like it was summer 2019.

Um source on the lifetime thing? My understanding is that it’s more like 7 or 10 years, but also that the border agent has some discretion. I had a DUI quite some time ago and went to Canada around the 7 year mark without any trouble, lawyers, etc.

The way I’ve always figured it out is by deleting some, then loading the page in a different browser or an incognito window, and repeat until the URL is as minimal as possible, while still loading correctly. For websites you use regularly, you’ll figure it out pretty quickly.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 4 weeks ago:
I don’t actually do all that many image searches. I’m usually searching for text based pages, and those results have also gotten super terrible, but this doesn’t seem to have any impact on that.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 4 weeks ago:
But what about all the AI slop in the web results?

I don’t even like podcasts, but where do I subscribe to your’s??

I was definitely still drawing/writing on my walls in high school, and I’m not even “artsy”.

Same, but lying on my left side, so the mattress?

I also most definitely heard about a similar experiment years ago using lipstick.
- Comment on Philosophy moment 3 months ago:
Yeah, I really don’t understand what changed or why. By the time I was in high school, pretty much everyone had a cell phone, but they’d get confiscated if they went off in class or we were caught using them during school hours, and that included all break periods. I remember a teacher threatening to take my phone away when I was using my phone to call my dad for a ride home after I had finished my exams for the day. For high school kids, I could see arguments on both sides for whether they should be allowed during breaks, but definitely not during class periods.
Things were a little more flexible in college, but they were still expected to be silent, and some professors would ask you to leave the class if your phone went off or was otherwise causing a distraction.
- Comment on A reminder that the majority of anti-Reddit *hardliners* went back crawling to Reddit like the bitches they are 3 months ago:
Ditto. My original account was on kbin.social, so it’s not like I even have the option to use it anymore. I’m sure plenty of people started out on one of the big, general instances, then eventually moved elsewhere.

Pretty Little Liars. It was always a “guilty pleasure” show, but by the end, my friends and I were just “hate watching” it, begging for it to end.
Archer. Has that finally ended?

Dr. Grip. I love the “shake to advance” thing and the huge, squishy grip.
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 5 months ago:
Agreed, just trying to point out that if the laid off employees were corporate, not retail, the $15/hr assumption is probably pretty low. If retail, those could be spread across the country, and $15/hr is probably pretty generous. Starbucks HQ is in the city of Seattle, which has an even higher minimum wage than the state (I think $20.76/hour now?).
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 5 months ago:
Was it baristas that were laid off or office workers? Minimum wage for their corporate headquarters is a bit over $20/hour, and I’d suspect very few corporate employees are making only minimum wage.
- Comment on What is your bath mat situation? 5 months ago:
I remember reading something a while ago that said the rubber backed mats should never go in the dryer, and while I forget the exact reason, it wasn’t just because the dryer damages the mat. Searching online, it looks like the rubber can also damage the dryer and poses an increased fire risk.
